| Ahh poor Kino and all the bunnies she hunt for those guy >:( |
 |
| 10/10 episode, I'm shocked, really love the amount of philosophy in this episode, Kino is incredible |
 |
| i knew those guys were bad but wasn't expecting them to be human traffickers, glad kino killed them |
| Rewatching Still one of the the best anime eps I've seen period. |
| Well, goodish? episode about the existence of people who can be evil and shit. The Hermes guy is seriously trying to mind fuck Kino by asking about philisophies and challenging them and shit. I LOVE IT. Cool af. Moral of story: Before helping someone, make sure you check their truck to see if they are into human trafficking. |
 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. |
| Trying to improve my Japanese... at the beginning of the episode, the guys say "kurimono, kurimono" (I think). Not "tabemono". Does anyone know if I'm hearing that right, and what it means? I also suspect that Hermes is mispronouncing words that sound similar in Japanese but not in English. The words I found in my dictionary for "charity" and "vanity" don't look similar. I like the way Kino tries to keep her feelings from interfering with her decisions. She just uses the information she has and makes the best decision she can, but she still tries to figure out the morals and philosophy. Either the rabbits were going to die, or the men were. You don't find out until later which was the best choice, and you can't change the past once you've chosen. |
 There are two types of anime - almost as good as Elfen Lied, and not as good as Elfen Lied. |
| Imagine being traveling and some strangers attack you after you helped them. I am a person that does not help almost anyone so I will not have that problem. I also can say that those men were really ugly. |

| This was a dark episode, didn’t expect some of the things that happened here at all |
| This showcased Kino's quick witted capabilities in action. Nice mix after a more relaxed intro. I want to say I'm enjoying this because normally I'm really into these kinds of atmospheric character driven adventures but something feels missing. 3/5 Edit: the right word I meant to use was iyashikei |

| The thankfulness for the life of the food is a beautiful thing and I've seen that message in an Anime that was focusing on a farmer's life (forgot the title) Contrary to what many people wrote, I do not see the death of the rabbits as a waste. Because they died for the sake of the great ideals Kino has held: as in helping those in need as fellow humans This episode makes Kino quite sympathetic: as in believing in doing good things because you would wish for others to do good things to you when you are in need, but still being prepared for the worst |
| What an awesome episode, infinitely better than the first. I guess each episode is going to come with it's own sort of philosophical lesson. |
| So if I didn't know better I'd think Kino wanted to become a slave lol. should see who they really are before helping (especially 3-1 and no one around) and concerned if they were thieves than guilt for hunting a rabbit, well what do you know, close enough human traffickers? Kino is philosophical than a happy fruitcake. A character that don't fabricate. I like the character, but Kino doesn't know much about safety, luckily she built good to take care of the minimum, a real posse Wonder if most of these travel going to be Kino's judgment call, stepping in gravy. Not to say not interesting, but average. Traveling is a good interesting theme in this world as achievements would likely fall on deaf's ear. |

| I was not expecting this at all |
| At first I thought that Kino had a ballistic knife but I guess not. Surprised that the gun had aim though, usually these types of guns don't have any aim let alone a laser one (I think). I didn't think about cultural stereotipisation until I read about it on this forum. Maybe it's true? Idk how some people saw the twist coming, I didn't have any suspicions |

| Didn't expect Kino to be that armed — guns, knives and knife-guns all over. I wonder if that changed her outlook on hunting animals for strangers. This episode displays that while humans can return the favours that most animals can't, they are also more likely to take advantage of your altruism for their own potentially malicious ends than animals are. The risk didn't really pay off in this case, and I wouldn't take it myself. |
