| Hmm it would've been a lot better if they switched the previous and this last episode around. This was really not a proper last episode if you ask me. It was intense action wise, but not really that good as a closure episode to be honest. All in all I did quite enjoyed this reboot of the series, really loved the original and like this new one quite a lot as well! |
 |
| This episode was possibly the weakest but overall this anime was really good. IMHO it is pretty underrated. I'm giving it a 7/10. I say underrated because 7.60 or so is low by MAL standards. I've also never watched the first anime and never read the source material, so maybe it wasn't well adapted, i don't know. Anyway, one of the best new anime the season, top 5 for sure if we exclude sequels. |

| One of the best anime this Fall Season. I'm gonna miss this show for sure. Anyway, I''l rate it an 8 out of 10 score overall. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Average ending. Those sheeps are scary. Sucks for the unfortunate person who get killed. At least Kino avenge the person's death. Her jounrey ends, but it also begins anew. It could've ended last episode, but I guess this was selected as a favorite scene to shown from the LN voted by the readers? Anyways, what a nice journey it was. Kino and Shizu were nice characters. along with Ti, Riku, and Hermes. Each episode contains stories that are sweet, bittersweet, tragic and more. It reminded me of Kino back in 2003. That was a long ago, So nostalgic, but I remember the scenes anymore. I like the character designs here compared to the old one. Adding CG wasn't good, the stuff probaby did that to reduce budget. I don't mind another season of this. If any. 8/10 |

| killer sheep, this author has weird sense of humor lol |
| This episode was strange with those killer sheep, I would have been very scared but Kino handled very well. I hope to see her again and this time better. I felt this season was weak, with weak messages unlike the previous one. The animation was so bad I wanted to cry from it, like CGI coordination and character distinction ( wasn't able to give characters a distinctive design). The plots were bad and VAs made me sleepy also. They could have done better. But because its Kino this is a biased rating so its a 8/10 for her only. Please make something better next time. |

| Well it has alot of amusing episode and fck that episode 10 for sure. 10/10 for that episode. Overall it's kinda weird to have weird abnormal technology and talking motorcycle/dog despite it not being fully Fantasy. Since i didn't watch the original it does very well explained this "beautiful world". Though in the end it's a story about a journey. Solid 8/10. lihle808 said: I felt this season was weak, with weak messages unlike the previous one. Fall season or you meant by Kino remakes? Fall have quite good stuff there, if you're hurt with the CGI Houseki no Kuni might help you. |
| I still don't understand why motorbikes could talk in that world. |
| I ended up liking this season too. And this episode just made me laugh even tho I was feeling bad for the sheep. So over-the-top, think they could do it more. uh. seriously? Anyways I am not disappointed but I feel like this ep might have triggered some ppl. 8/10 overall. Gonna miss Kino. |
 |
| Eh. That's my reaction to the new series in general as well. Nah but seriously. I loved the very beginning of this episode. And thought this was going to be a truly great one. Going out strong. Kino alone. Kino separated from Hermes. That's a solid set up to a finale. The killer sheep are a little weird but I'm on board. But god damn that ending was so stupid. Not the hammock scene. That was cool. I liked that more than the sheep story. But the conclusion of the sheep story. Was clumsily animated honestly. And made zero sense. I empathize that I'm sure the scene in the original light novel. Would be difficult to animate. But it completely broke the rules of reality and basic common sense. With indestructible sheep who could survive unscathed being plowed into by a big ass truck. What a dropping of the ball. I'd give this new series like a 7/10. Some of the episodes were pretty good. But some I thought were kind of weak and awkward. Especially in the middle few episodes. When barely any of them featured Kino and Hermes as the focus. I'd still watch another season of this series. But doesn't hold a candle to the 03 one. |
 |
| The fuck was that? Black Sheep anyone? In the end, the anime was good. But I did enjoy the first one more. |

| quiet entertaining, but not as good as the old one. I hope we will have season 2 tho. |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
| These sheep were scary. The animation of the sheep bouncing off the jeep was weird. I liked this episode even if it was not as good as the previous ones. I think that they should have inverted this episode with the 11th. It would have made a better ending to the anime. Overall, it's a very good anime with a lot of interesting countries. My favorite is Land of the adults, but the first part of episode 9 was intriguing too. I would have liked more episode and that Shizu be more developed. Beautiful ending song *-*. |
| meh guess i had higher hopes for this show like an entire episode about murderous sheep whyyy |
| a satisfying ending, i guess. i was more confused than anything about the sheep. |
| What, what a bizarre way to end the series. This one was fun and strange, but I have to admit I was expecting something a bit more from the finale. I think thus one should have been in the middle of the series. This series was pretty good overall though. It definitely had it ups and downs but overall it was at least interesting the entire time, and for me that made it a worthwhile and entertaining experience. |
| The first series definitely feels like a more complete series, and watching this will likely make me rewatch it. But I do love the art style of this one so much more. I'll give it a solid 8/10. (I gave the original a 9/10). |
| No country travelling this time but oh my god, the sheeps were hilarious. Loved seeing Kino pull off a masterful plan and then killing them LOL. Good end to a good show. 8/10 |
| Truly an amazing episode this one was |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| "Sir, how do we break the viewer's mind?" "Send in the Smug Sheep."  Seriously, what did I just...what did I...what...just WHAT??? Well, I'll wait until I'm asleep to count all of the sheep. In the meantime, this new entry into Kino's Journey wasn't too shabby. It had some truly great moments such as Photo's episode & the retelling of Kino's past. There were also some misses as well, particularly condensing the Colosseum story into one episode. Although I don't want to unfairly place Kino 2017 in the shadow of Kino 2003, I am a bit disappointed considering that the old version is one of my all time favorites. It was the first anime to really challenge my perspective and it became the corner stone for developing my critical thinking skills as a teenager. Kino's Journey has often felt like a collection of Aesop's Fables, conjuring up philosophical questions and exaggerated moral dilemmas. While Kino 2017 wasn't able to captivate me quite the same way, I think it still stayed true to the spirit of the journey. Though it would have been ideal if it had kept more to its predecessor (similar to Mushishi's sequel), by no means does my criticism take away from what an exceptional adventure this remains. I'd really like to see more and I'm still overjoyed to get another glimpse into Kino's Journey even over a decade after first starting it. 8/10. Thus my journey through this series ends. Now I'm tired, and I think it's time to sleep. If I'm counting sheep, hopefully they won't be trained to ram me off a cliff. |
 |
| This remake of Kino's Journey is a disappointment . The original 2003 series was much better even the art is so sterile, it is in no way interesting to look at. |
 |
| Lmfao, at around 11:20 some of the sheep just vanished from the screen, 1 frame theyre there the other they're gone, not just one either but several. - Wonder how that slipped through. Kind of a ridiculous episode to end on with the sheelp ... lmao I loved the end bit thouigh, basically saying IF season 2 were to happen, it will happen, if it wont, it wont ^^ 8/10 - Though not as in depth with some episodes as 2003, some other episodes were done really well, for example Kino's backstory was beautifully remade. |
 |
| A whole episode dedicated to killing some sheep, mediocre way to end it. Some episodes were great and some were terrible (like this one). In the end the show was a little dull for me but I liked the atmosphere for the most part. |
 |
| What is with these murderous sheep? LOL Fighting sheep my ass, they're a friggin' nuisance, in fact they're a wildlife hazard! 8/10 the first TV adaptation was better IMHO but this one had some great scenes as well. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
reizenchuu said: I still don't understand why motorbikes could talk in that world. Or dogs? Suspend your disbelief. |
| How to describe this show concisely... A line of disjointed events that really don't amount to anything, with a few cool ideas but mostly just boring stuff. Kino as a character is way too one-note to actually enjoy. |
| We need a second season.. |
 |
| Those were some ugly CGI sheep and the piano piece at the end didn't seem right for a final punchline to a silly story. The meta-joke ending was alright but I thought it was a little self-indulgent. |
| Those sheep were savage. |
| So, Kino is a girl? Wtf |
| I am really glad that decided to watch original anime first since it was very good. The whole situation with both adaptions is great example of how crucial direction is, old and new anime have the same original source obviously and even have several same episodes but every time old one was much better in representation of both: story and characters because of social details and accent on Kino's reaction, music and sound were better too and made emotional effect even stronger. New anime is lack the originality somehow it's so average and predictable in terms of scenes and dialogues. New Kino is more energetic and emotional but somehow had weak reaction due destroyed country when old Kino was more skeptical and apathetic but there was a horror and desperate in her eyes when she found out that citizens knew about a disaster, it's just a small example of how poorly was made new adaptation. Slogan of old anime was "what a wonderful world" but it started with a premise "this world is ugly", Kino just tried hard to find some light in a such dark world. Every episode hides worldly wisdom and makes you think. Slogan of new anime is the same "what a wonderful world" and anime just being typical slice of life which is trying hard to minimize any possible drama and forgot totally about existential crisis themes. |
| This 2017 version wasn't nearly as good as the original - mainly in the atmosphere, art and character design department. This also felt more action-oriented, where as the old one was more philosophical and made you think. With that said, I at least appreciate that they didn't completely rehash all the episodes from the 2003 version, and brought a couple (more than half I think) new intriguing stories to the table. That was the main saving grace for this show, in my opinion. Definitely worth a watch though, if you're a fan of the original masterpiece, like me. |
| It wasn't a good idea to finish the anime with this episode. Its your typical Kino's episode. Fake Kino origins should be the last episode. Well, this anime is silly and I can't take it seriously for the most part. 4/10 for the anime. |

| I saw this one and the original back to back and I have to say that I do prefer the original. They are both worth it if you are into very chill and psychological anime. 8/10 for the OG. 7/10 for this one. |

| Why would they end on such a wacky episode? I mean the director/producer clearly should have arranged for a better closure, since this ep surely left many viewers dumbfounded after two excellent ones (10 and 11). Overall it was nice seeing and following Kino again throughout her journey considering some episode were truly great (Ship Country, Liar Country, Photo episode, Kind Country and Adult Country were clearly the best in my opinion), others good (Colosseum, Moving Country and a few others) and definitely a few were lacking or were simply a dull collection of various countries with little value. I'd say it's a decent 7/10 |
| Kino 2017 was just as enjoyable as the 2003 version. Both versions are fine, so no need to compare which one is better. 2017 has more livelier colors and more better pacing, while the 2003 one goes for a more "spooky" atmosphere. Both versions have their ups and their downs, strong and weak episodes. And just like the 2003 version, I also recommend that you see this 2017 version in English dub, so it can be an easier watch, since its episodic (or somewhat episodic) I did like how the 2017 version also included some episodes when the Prince was the MC of the episode. Nice journey |

| This was the funniest episode of the whole season. The sheep just getting rammed and falling down like a PS1 enemy. Then when they got shot they made the goofiest "baa" sound while flying back. Overall really great show. Felt a lil meta at the end like they hoping for a s2. I wouldn't enjoy it if they did. |
| It's 1 or 2 points less than the original, I suppose. This series was presented in a worse way than the original but the material feels similar. This episode feels like an analogy for pit bulls. |
