Kino No Tabi (Kino's Journey) is an anime I recently finished watching. This anime makes David Hume's works seem like a kindergarten colouring book. (Either that or I'm reading too much into the anime)
Kino No Tabi is an anime brought over from several volumes of light novels, regarding a female child traveller by the name of Kino riding her talking motorcycle Hermes around the world to different countries. (Holy cow, that's a long sentence!)
These different countries have very different cultures and traditions, mostly weird, but also very disturbing because these traditions seem so logical but yet neglect the personal needs of the human conscience.
For example, in one country which was constantly in war with its neighbour found the perfect solution to their 50 year conflict- instead of killing each other, they would hold military events to see who can kill the most village people near their borders. On first sight, this seems ridiculous to the max. On second thought, this is simply a "rather them than us" situation. It seems so logical, yet so inhumane.
This anime, with merely 13 episodes, is rather short. But how it can be so thought provoking is a wonder. The stories provided are very true and applicable to our lives in ways we never thought it would. This is the one anime which hopes to directly affect our lives in a thought provoking manner.
And it has.
