| Loved this one. I'm sure Kino really wanted to help because the freedom to fly hits close to home for her. Love that piece from the soundtrack, "He is Speed and I am Balance". So nice sounding :) |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| beautiful episode as always :D and was that a reference to Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis in the preview? lol :P |
| I think the point of this episode was that Kino didn't believe it would work, but still helped her. The townspeople were against her because they didn't believe what she tries to do is possible. Kino had the same belief, but she still helped her, just in case and just because it's nice to help. It tells you that you don't need to be convinced of something yourself to show support; sometimes it's okay to just trust the vision of someone else. |
| I was waiting for a cruel twist near the ending and it never came. Maybe I'm just used to this show to be depressing, or bittersweet at best. This was surprisingly, and weirdly optimistic. But yeah, as you all have already pointed it out, human nature was still the obstacle. Even Kino was almost not an exception in this story, as apparently she only encouraged Nimya on a whim. Or because she shared Nimya's desires, or she's because she's open minded, or because she's just a nice person. Or all of the above. |

| Ok episode. Good to see that it worked in the end. |
 |
| This and episode 2 are my favorite episodes so far, so amazing. |
| So she's the "Wright brothers" of Kino xD Pretty tame episode compared to the previous episodes |
"Signature removed"   |
| That was touching, beautiful episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I didn't enjoy this episode as much as the others but it was still neat, it's funny how a bird statue was blocking her from flying. |
 |
| I really liked this episode. It was so nice and lovely. Especially after how dark and grim the last few episodes were. The Wright Bros aping heroine was really cool. It had a low stakes but compelling story. And honestly not to say the Coliseum story wasn't great too. But I was more bothered by the townsfolk trying to dismantle her plane. Than any of the brutality in that two parter. I think since they've become such a morally ambiguous figure as the series goes on. Episodes like this that emphasize Kino's ability to positively effect the world. Without some sort of Twilight Zone ironic twist. Feel very necessary at this juncture. When all you do is dark cautionary tales. Eventually the audience is too on guard for it. You have to slip in the surprisingly pleasant ones too. Which was well addressed at the end with Kino and Hermes is discussion. Like Kino we the audience have become too jaded to the show's universe. And most people probably didn't expect that plane to fly. |
 |
| Finally something actually heartwarming. I am really satisfied with this one. |
 |
| The girl should have dumped the boyfriend, what a jerk. |
 |
| Probably one of the best episode so far, promoting the human thinking and spirit. I halfly expected her to fall down and die for this story to end in bittersweet way but it wasn't bad this way either. Touching story, really. |
| Great episode. Hard work pays off, I think that's the message of this one. Not as thought-provoking and philosophical as the previous episodes but still good. I am glad Nimya was able to make her dream come true! |
 |
| Oh Kino, you considerate soul <3 |
| I thought this episode was boring for the most part, previous episodes are superior. |
| Ah well, I thought this episode was still good, and I teared up a bit during the flight sequence. |
| Happy that she succeeded flying |
 |
| These humana learn to fly stories in anime are always mundane stuff but they never fail to amaze me anyway. Also nice twist that the narrator changed here. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Nimya looked like a pokemon character. |
| Very fun and touching episode. Nice to see a change in citizens that don’t have a rock head state of mind |
   |
| That was pretty good. Funny at the end too when everyone thought she was some divine being |
| Quite the beautiful episode and interesting to note how magic = how very advanced technology to normal people looks |
| I thought the aircraft would crash or fall apart at some point, but looks like there was no subversion of expectations after all. Nimya really did build the first functioning aircraft in this universe, very impressive. Stark contrast from how dark the previous episodes were. |
