Ryuutarou Nakamura was a fantastic director but the new director and staff seems to be quite disappointing to me, how do you feel about it? I will keep an open mind though.

Not too worried about the staff because at best for me it's questionable, but its not something like "It will most likely be shit" to say. But then again, pretty sure that they could have selected a better choice around here but I'm fine with this.

I agree, the staff isn't the best, but that doesn't mean this can't be a good adaptation. I'll continue to stay optimistic about it. I think Lerche is a good/decent studio, so the animation will probably be fine.

Not to mention they have been consistent with production at least in my eyes. I think the one show I think that was inconsistent was probably Unbreakable Machine Doll but that was like years ago. I thought that was the least pleasant thing to see from their track record. Unfortunately. But other than that they are probably going to be fine.

I'm a lot worried about it too. And there is very a high chance it'll be not as great as the original anime by Nakamura, I'm almost sure about it. I just don't trust Lerche that much. It is no bad studio but they aren't that great either or rather that experienced. I was hoping for Shaft and Production I.G (or maybe some animators behind J.C.Staff) maybe even with the new Kino no Tabi anime as a collaboration project. But when I saw the team behind it I was very disappointed. It'll may be a decent anime but this will be probably very different to our loved old Kino no Tabi series. But I hope this series will explode a little hype about the slice of life genre mixed with the psychological genre and more anime to come in these genres..

What? A new Kino no Tabi series??? o.o!!! Well... I really hope they don't ruin this. I mean... just look at the latest Rozen Maiden series and the new Berserk (meh, i still don't like that crappy cg) but oh well... let's hope for the best ^^)

SHAFT? Seriously? They are way too awkward when they need to follow something - just look at Sangatsu. It's perfect, but it's glaringly obvious how SHAFT gives no life into it, just robotically produces animation. SHAFT would be abysmal with material like this, they need something that allows them for extra shots - like Hidamari or Monogatari.

Yes, I'm very serious. Shaft would be a quite good choice because they made already a movie about Kino no Tabi..

If you think the staff behind Shaft can only create extra shots and robotically poses or animation you didn't have really cared about the themes in Sangatsu no Lion. Sangatsu is a perfect example of anime about life and it feels very vivid too. Don't judge the anime only because of its animation. This anime cares a lot about its characters and especially creates beautiful atmospheric moments.
And btw. the Monogatari Series is another great example for an anime about life, about people, who suffers, who are broken, distance themselves from parts of their own personality and so on..
Yes, I agree there is a lot of animation fanservice in Monogatari too but that don't mean it isn't an anime about life or there is no life in it.
Don't judge a gift only by its packaging. And watch the Kino no Tabi movie.
But you can be happy if you don't like the animation by Shaft, Lerche is adapting Kino.

Lerche is no bad studio and I didn't mean they are bad in adapting anime. But I would prefer Shaft. And I don't think Lerche has enough experience for creating such an atmospheric and character driven anime like Kino no Tabi. But I hope I'm wrong.

Ai Maeda reprising the role in any new Kino work was always going to be a huge long-shot. She's been MIA from voice acting since, well, doing Kino. There was a video game featuring Kino recently, and she didn't provide the voice for her there either.

I appreciate the symmetry of Aoi Yuuki's casting. Sakura got to become the traveler after all.

I'm apprehensive about this project. I love Kino and have been hopeful of more content for years, but it's going to be so difficult for a new team in 2017 to recapture the charm that the original had.

You must be joking.

Sangatsu has been one of the very few great shows this year. The ways Shaft elevated the material and the creative cinematography were just breathtaking.

It's really hard to tell with just the heads of the team. Maybe they'll get some great episode directors or maybe there'll be some better studio picking up some episode when they fall behind schedule.

Shaft made an OVA and it looks closer to the original than, you know, Shaft. Maybe Kino will elevate Lerche and put them on the map... right?

I'm a little curious but do like half the people in the topic like...not watch any shows at all?

One was involved in Overlord
Another in DanganRonpa 3
And one more in Sousei

While the last one I'll give credit since it was a 50/50 reception, but did people not like Overlord and DangranRonpa 3???

And then we have Lerche themselves.
Were shows like Asassination Classroom, Unbrekable Machine Doll, Ranpo Kittan, Kuzu no Honkai, Daily Life with Monther Girls THAT unknown? Or are you people just trolling?

They deserved it.

In previous series, Kino was just going places, watching people act like idiots and doing nothing to make the situation better, sans a rare couple of cases. No empathy, no trying to understand a single person in distress, sans a rare couple of cases, again.
Most of time it was played like "They are a bunch of idiots anyway. They will die anyway. Lol, I'm out of here".

I also read some of the novels and they were no better.

If the creators want to spread such a hateful, selfish message of an antisocial loser, they would better hang themselves.

The world would become a bit more beautiful.

You don't know who I am, yet you already judge.

First you "obviously" assumed that I am your typical mindless hater, then you "obviously" assume I am a troll. What label will be the next?

Kino did exactly the same. She comes to a town, looks from afar, labels everyone as a "hat" and lets them be wrong again.


If, for example, Nyaruko was as prejudiced as Kino, Mahiro would never have so much colors in his life.
Kino's message is not only wrong, it is dangerous.

To be honest, I liked the story about the girl with her airplane. Though her society was described as a usual bunch of idiots, she was quite a determinator, and this was great. In the meaning of "You can do it, just try". I was interested if novels would have more such stories, but alas.

And about calling names, they deserved it in full prime - I am not the one here implanting cynical message into people's heads via 2D televangelism.

Lerche is a fine studio. The name might be new, but people there know their stuff. E.g. Kuzu no Honkai is absolutely gorgeous, and from what I've seen of the studio's other recent works, their character designers and the animation A-team have been pretty consistent. Not yet top-tier, but far above the average.

Aoi Yuuki is also an incredibly talented actress, and I have no doubt she can handle the role. She's done harder stuff. Sakura was one of her earliest roles, actually (I think she was 11 at the time).

The director and the series composer are the ones to be worried about. Can't see a single solid title under their belt.

There's no doubt that Aoi Yuuki is quality. It's just a matter of whether she can pull off the Kino character well relative to Maeda. It's going to be interesting to see how she handles the character.

I would hope she has a level of respect for the show and the character given her history with it. Hopefully this was something she really wants to do and she's going to spend time getting the voice as close to perfect as possible. Of course we can't expect an imitation of the previous seiyuu and that's not really warranted.

Yup it's an action heavy chapter, that's why I wanna see it in action XD
