Kino’s Journey Watch Order Guide

Kino’s Journey is one of those underrated anime that couldn’t achieve popularity due to its older animation style and psychological plot. When you watch Kino’s Journey, you literally go on a journey along with the main character and experience different cultures that make you question your moral compass. Each episode of Kino’s Journey makes you question the darker side of human nature without showing you any grotesque scenery.

Kino’s Journey is all about the episodic story, which is sometimes interconnected with very few recurring characters. While the art style is not the best and may put off some viewers, the characters and script easily compensate for it. The only thing missing was music, but honestly, the series didn’t make it feel like its lacking music because of the bizarre cynical nature of the story.

Kino’s Journey is an anime that, after watching, will leave you wanting more. So if you are planning to watch Kino’s Journey, watch it according to this order.
