Kino's Journey

What a touching episode, it even brought tears to my eyes at the end. This episode (however, like all the others in this anime) makes you think a lot. After all, you can't just take childhood out of a person's life - it's a very important period that shapes people's personalities, their individuality, so that everyone can go their own way in the future, and not live according to the "duties" of an adult imposed by stereotypes. Which is exactly what Kino did, but at what cost... It was a terrible pity for that traveler, and yet he, having given his own, saved her life and with his encouragement she began to wander with Hermes. At the moment of the murder, I felt uneasy, as if something had stabbed me right in my heart, like the knife that the girl's father was so enthusiastically trying to get out of the dead body in front of the crowd... Brrrr, it was a creepy scene, just like the one that followed when he tried to stab his daughter again... It's disgusting, how rotten society is in this country, if parents are ready to kill their own children for the sake of the madness of the authorities. Even the thought of such a thing is nightmarish, not like its embodiment in the series.
With all this, the series turned out to be very interesting and exciting in general - the most excellent prequel in the story of the main character was released. Separately, I would like to mention the song that sounded from the mouth of Kino, which she adopted from her mentor, a very soulful melody, seasoned with very wise words.
In general, the episode is on 10/10, just like the series itself. I always like such pictures that make you think about a lot during and after watching them, and "Journey of Cinema" is no exception, but just another confirmation of this fact, which is why I give the title a well-deserved top ten!

@platina_vi: I totally agree! Another great title with a well-earned top five. It makes you think in some places.

10 out of 10

@CyberCoil: Do you know anything like that?

The Movie girl and the motorcycle Hermes travel through a fantasy world, which is naturally a metaphorical parody of our world. The movie has a pretty twisted logic–I know intellectually that she's right, but I would never say or do that myself. I understand people in their perverted countries more than that (and it scares me in this context). The anime is very measured and slow, it was not easy to get used to, but knowing that "No limits homus dolboebus" (there is no limit to human stupidity), I was wondering what the next country would do. Over time, I became imbued with the position of Cinema and began to understand her train of thought, and most importantly, the power of the metaphorical plot. I must say, the series is very "strong" in content, and from now on I am revered. In the first film, we are shown what I have been waiting for in the series for so long – the past Movie. The films vary in schedule, but continue in the best traditions to follow a measured plot with psychedelic denouements. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves anime in the psychology genre!
