| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A country with a noticable clock tower... And also, corrupt police. The social society of this that country is controverisal to say the least. I felt bad for the guy that got jailed. Loved the thrilling feel of this episode. Kino's journey really takes her to interesting places. |
 |
| It was funny to see how fewer and fewer cops appeared each day to siege the tower. The two of them even became heroes in the end. |
| Kino's master is the GOAT xDDDD I love how even Kino is even terrified of her and all lol |
| Got to hear a story about Kino's master. She was a savage. She and her apprentice saved a country from the corruption and became heroes at the end. |
 |
| Interesting episode, Fuck tha Police is all I'm going to say. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Funny episode this time about cool beaty master and her apprentice. Kino's reactions at the end ... it was a very painful training seems like. |
 |
| Great and pretty funny episode, I really loved the voice for Kino's master, it was exactly as I imagined it while reading the LN, aloof and mature. |
| *Screaming autistically through the screen* |
| my favourite episode yet ! master was amazing, i loved her |
| Even Kino is afraid of his master. I feel a bit bad for the negotiators. |
 |
| well the master story was something...it was quite funny |
 |
| A very funny episode this week, which is not something I ever expected to find myself saying about this show. Once again though, moving the focus away from Kino allowed something different to be explored, and in this case it was interesting and entertaining to learn more about her Master, especially as the original series never really did anything on that front. |
| Finally an episode about a story with the master. She is so cool. Kino is like a toned down master haha. |
 |
| That was surprisingly funny, especially how they hold off that tower and shooting them to make em scaredy cats XD Most people that live there now got shot in the knee by these two, likely also the police officers are there. Was this guy one of them? |
| I love Kino's master, she's pretty sarcastically hilarious. I love the whole scene where the government tried to get the two to back down, the scenes where they got shot at were pretty funny, the gov't tried approaching them in different manners each time and it was pretty amusing to watch. |
Gintama > One Piece = Naruto > Bleach > DBZ Nyanko Big is my spirit animal. |
| Kino's master is really cool. |
 |
| This is my favorite episode so far! The Master is so cool, I love her new look and everything~ |

| Why was Kino started when Hermes said "but what do you think would happen if Master visited here again?" ? |
 |
| Great episode. Kino's master is badass. xD |
 |
| Didn't really enjoy this episode as much. The police officers sucked! I mean, it just takes two people and the whole country is forced to surrender? Oh well, at least things turn out well in the end. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Damn Master must be really scary if Kino hit the breaks before leaving the country lol. |

I second this, people behind corruption always smart, but these polices are idiots. These polices could have guard behind the buildings that circling the tower, eventually, that 2 will die of starving. And I doubt that by looking at those guns, they can shoot further over those buildings circling the tower, to cause trouble to others. |

And I doubt that by looking at those guns, they can shoot further over those buildings circling the tower, to cause trouble to others. The police cannot just randomly shot the clock tower since it's a historical building and government office. Waiting for those two to die in starvation is also non choice due to citizen's pressure (the police wasn't the only organisation that used the tower, the entire government did). And The police can't just enter the clock tower, since Master planted a bomb in the building. |
| A very dark and disturbing little tale, and while I laughed at times it's not a source of easy humor. But that's the good thing about some of the best Kino no Tabi stories--you don't get easy moral results. No matter what happened in the end, a pretty much insane potential last stand on the top of a clock tower is not very likely to reform a whole society. Hell, the US government can't even manage to pass even one single law to limit gun ownership, instead preferring to let thousands die. I'm not terribly interested in debating the details, but I don't think that's ever the point. These are parables and odd adventures that aren't to be taken literally, nor are there any easy lessons (or perhaps there are no lessons at al)l. That's why I like the show. |
| Kino's master is pretty scary yet cool. This episode had a lot of comedy to it. I liked it. |

Was this guy one of them? i believe he was 1 of the police when kino master going wild, based on his expression when kino mention about being shot on the leg. i assume the monument and the story on that country believe were being distorted as well to make it at least more heroic than the truth. |

| Funny episode. The master of Kino had managed to change the country that was corrupted by the government and police. I laughed in that scene. Two merely travelers turned into great heroes, imagine that. |
| So, the police in that country and even its government were corrupt, so Kino's Master and her apprentice intentionally targeted them to get their shit together? Or they just really went to that country as travelers and realized how fucked up its government is? They acted like the terrorist, but they ended up being the heroes because yeah they made the people powerful and stand against the people running their country? Please correct me if I'm wrong. The fact that even those policemen they shot on their knees see them as heroes. Haha. Goddamn, they even made a monument for Kino's Master and her apprentice. Haha. That whole negotiation scene with the police and Kino's Master were so hilarious. Jesus. 5/5. |

| This was one of the best episodes of this series, hahaha. Their trick and the police reaction <3 I really enjoyed this <3 |

 A great episode. I definitely laughed a lot. I love Kino, Shizo, and the Master for how they compare to each other. Had Kino visited the Historic Country when it was under corruption, Kino probably would have tried to get through without causing a fuss, unless Kino were forced to fight for some reason. Shizo would have intervened and attempted to get the government to treat its citizens better, most likely using force as a means to do so. Here, the Master, as shown, doesn't care about the country at all. She just wanted to make money and get a bit of revenge by causing as much terror and pain as possible. The way she extorted money from the government was hilarious, and works as a foil to both Kino's philosophy of general neutrality and Shizo's personality of wanting to help others. The sepia and monochrome colors was kind of cheesy, but it's something I haven't seen much of, so it was an interesting touch to visually differentiate the different time periods. However, seeing as this is a series where we've had walking mechanical fortress cities along side nomadic travelers in horse-drawn caravans, a sense of "history" is really hard to grasp. For the purposes of the episode at least, the idea of history is really played with. I love how architecture can signify different things based on perspective and framing, where the historic building, which was a reminder of the country's monarchy, then worked as a government building symbolizing corruption and police rule during the Master's time. Then, by taking a defensive position atop the building and reigning terror from above, the tower then turned into a symbol of fear by the government, ending as a symbol of hope and heroism by the future citizens. Though, for the Master and her apprentice, it was merely a good place to shoot people. The different interpretations lend to the idea that history can be reinterpreted depending on perspective, especially when history is manifested in physical form, hence the tower. Though, again, the Master wouldn't care, which also mirrors the series' sentiment of merely presenting a story for people to watch and take what they want from it. Was this a story perpetuating speaking out against strict government rule, highlighting the need for citizens to take a stand for their rights and fight back? Was it a story about two terrorist travelers who caused mayhem and chaos out of spite and to make money? Was it a story about how Kino admires and fears the Master, where either the Master or Kino exaggerated parts of the tale for dramatic reasons? Much like the series as a whole, there are many ways to look at this story, especially in the discussion of history, but the most fun way is probably the best. |
| I'm guessing the flashback might have been a bit exaggerated since Kino's the (unreliable) narrator. Funny how the old guy at the end tries to cover up what happened. |
 |
| Another episode not really following Kino. The old men have canes because they got shot in the legs! |
  |
| Ohmylord this episode was fantastic. I couldn't help but to laugh out loud when they were firing at the police |'D and whatever they were using to negotiate. Ahhh, Kino no Tabi sure has its moments. Glad it's going the more "show, don't tell" route again like it did in the original anime ;U; |
 |
| Episode itself was lively and enjoyable, but felt like Sigsawa was weaving his pearls of wisdom into the story again, which was unfortunate. Case in point: the title |
| The episode was ok but the series is a mess being Kino lite. |
| This episode had a laid back feel to it and it's lighthearted comedic moments were nice as well :) |

Oh well, at least things turn out well in the end. I agree, this is a stupid episode that was boring and corny. What a let down, I was gonna rate this high bcoz of world building and potential only to get this forced comedy and stupid logic. In 3 days the cops already tired like they spend 10,000 years and their soul evolved or something lol And people say this show is much darker compared to the previous anime coz its loyal to the source material. Smfh |
| I guess for once they're having a comedic episode Well that's a nice change of pace I guess Also glad learnt a bit from Master's past.. In the original they didn't say anything about Master Also.. Who's that apprentice again? |
"Signature removed"   |
| Great episode, Master is scary! |

| If there's one thing this adaptation is doing much better than the original, it's that it takes the time and effort to develop it's supporting characters. In the original I was disappointed that we were introduced to Shizu but never saw him again after the Colosseum arc. Now we've already seen him twice, and now in the last two episodes we've seen the introduction of three more supporting characters. It's interesting to see the world from the perspectives of these characters as Kino seems to travel from country to country as a neutral observer without causing any disruption (with some exceptions), while Shizu, the Master and her apprentice all attempted to disrupt the political and social order of the countries they visited. I find these episodes to be much more interesting compared to the ones that predominantly feature Kino. I'm still loving the OP, look forward to watching/listening to it each week. |
