Was not expecting an action-oriented episode in a simple anime like this. Was very good nevertheless.

Not as deep as usual but the action was great. I've never thought a mix of action and SoL could work well.

Some nice action scenes.

Since the lower class has to basically work for the upper class, I wonder how long it would take before the lower class is sick of it and just leaves.

Kino is going up against another "traveler" it would seem. (Guy with the dog) - Mightbe someone related to the king though.

Where did Kino get the guns and learn to do all that? That's what I hope we will find out at some point. (this is why I would have assumed she had the surgery back a few episodes)

The whole wagon-couple thing would have meant more if it had been in a previous episode

It's like every episode is a different show. I mean that in a good way.

We only know Kino used to be a slave at some point, but we don't know what she did as a slave. I also wonder where she learned to fight like this. I really like her no-nonsense, pragmatic style of fighting.

Wasn't expecting this series to have this much action. Kino was a badass.

I'm guessing the guy with the dog is a prince or someone who was exiled after the current King came to power.

Pretty awesome that this show has also some action to offer, looking forward to part two and what kind of conclusion I will draw out of the story.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Kino so badass she kicks ass while managing to keep them alive.

As a fan of Houchuu Ootsuka, seeing him voicing the dog made me smile, I love his voice.

lol at hermes with the ask out comment. Guess it was a good thing kino didin't shoot that guard and I really hope in the next episode we get something a little happy. Also would like to know how the hell kino learned all these moves. She was 11 when she left you cant just magically become a bad ass.

Even when far outside the shounen genre, still can't avoid throwing in a good ol' tourney arc

I'm still struggling to figure out what the penalty system is. If you lose or surrender, you get deported, which I assume means you leave the country. If you win all of your battles until the end, you are rewarded with a first-class position by the king and you can add one rule to the country. If you refuse to participate, you become a slave. Where does the lower-class population come from? Were they always there before the beginning of the "new era" of tyrannical ruling? It was on my mind a lot, and I looked up to see if there was any discrepancy between the light novel and the anime, but to my knowledge--there isn't anything too major.

Good episode regardless, and I love Kino's deadpan nature. Hopefully, the next episode will clear up any of my questions.

The king looks like a demon. Since hes such a scum bag, don't think the deported people are actually deported. I wonder what will happen next episode.

I think this episode has to do with the hero's journey, the kind king is deposed by a greedy king and his son comes to proclaim his rightful throne and how heroes don't kill.
Something must also have to do with the woman in the wagon and her husband killed in the fights.
Finally we will have a story that is meant by more than one episode.

PT-BR

Acho que esse episodio tem haver com a jornada do herói,o rei bondoso é deposto por um rei ganancioso e o seu filho vem proclamar o seu trono de direito e como heróis não matam.
Algo também deve ter haver com a mulher da carroça e seu marido morto nas lutas.
Finalmente vamos ter uma historia que se entende por mais de um episodio.

well that was depressin

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Kino has some elite skills, especially for a short teenage girl. Can you gain such proficiency at combat just by travelling? Wonder if she got training somewhere.

It's pretty obvious the guy with the dog will be the final opponent here.

A masterpiece. Deep, philosophical, masterfully written plot. Can't get enough. Light. Avoid if you're looking for action-packed, fast-paced shows.
