Kino’s Journey #04 — Ship of Fools
October 27th, 2017
Thanks for the multiple infodumps explaining everything, motorcycle.
Impressions:
This particular bit of boring nonsense is about a country that's a ship, but unlike the country that's a tank, is a dystopia. After about 15 minutes, we get to "it's falling apart." Another couple minutes to "the ignorant masses refuse to believe the truth," whereupon our protagonists immediately and heroically give up and stop caring. This is then followed by a truly nonsensical infodump about how the whole place is actually run by benevolent AI overlords. Also, the random machine-like girl they picked up along the way is, quite literally, just some random orphan someone left on the ship, having absolutely nothing to do with anything. How did we come by this? Also via infodump! What a tapestry we weave.
I think this is where this show and I part ways. I want to like it, I really do, but it's so poorly executed on just about every level. There's so much time spent on absolutely goddamned nothing. You can't have a character just go to bed, they have to announce that it's bed time, explain how the lights have gone out, declare their intention to go to bed, say good night to everything in a five block radius, and then roll over and actually go to sleep. Every goddamned scene is like this. It contributes nothing, except to the run time. And this episode is especially egregious for having a giant asspull stream of utter nonsense dumped out long after the fact to explain everything. Aside from the rehash episode, this was the least tone-deaf one of them all, and it was still dreadfully boring with no real insight on anything to share.

the people were justified in having nothing to do with the loli cos she as we’ve seen in hindsight…..a bit nuts.
All I want from this series is why the dog and bike talking.
Probably M*g*c
