@tiffany I mean, he has lots of incredible technical ability I just feel his material is sort of gimmicky. His lyrics try and dance a line between the humourous and dramatic but they don't necessarily achieve either. Production is generally kind of weak on lots of his stuff as well.
-
@northernnarwhal I just like his sound and whatnot
-
@metaltao Eh, it's just not my kind of music.
-
@tiffany yeah that's totally fine, I'm just a different kind of listener
-
@northernnarwhal Certainly not bad different
-
@mastermushi Yeah, it explains a lot of her actions throughout the series. Damn great show though, I should watch it again sometime soon.
-
@northernnarwhal i showed the episode of the country of the prophecies to my sister, she thought everyone there was stupid xD
-
@tiffany Yeah, just that we both appreciate music in our own way.
-
@northernnarwhal yee
-
@northernnarwhal Understood. :D I can understand not wanting gimmicky music. It is kind of his style to border that line. I think it is meant to be purposeful.
-
@metaltao Don't let me stop you or Alex or Ellie or whoever from enjoying him. I'm just saying it's reasons like that which are why I personally can't get into him. I'm not really into pop-rap.
-
@mastermushi I don't know what kind of person your sister is, but I'm going to assume the philosophical undertones of that episode flew way over her head.
-
@northernnarwhal Wow, you are SUCH a monster! How dare you let people do what THEY want even when YOU object?
-
@metaltao I know I'm sort of known for being fairly knowledgeable about music but ultimately it comes down to everyone's preference. I don't think what makes an opinion a "good" one is the opinion itself, but rather how it's justified.
-
@northernnarwhal no, she thought it was dumb when i explained her that the book of the prophecies was actually the the printing sad poem from the sad country. But she like the Tradition country
-
@northernnarwhal What are the undertones?
-
@mastermushi I think when watching an episodic show in the vein of Kino's Journey it's important to approach it as a series of isolated thought experiments. Tertiary characters in a given environment are only acting in a seemingly irrational manner because it correlates to their respective culture. Because one of the most important themes of the show is that it contemplates various aspects of human nature, so it's not meant to be a portrayal of a society we are intimately familiar with but rather separate societies that act as hypothetical "what if we lived in a world like this?" questions.
-
@metaltao I sort of go into more detail in the post below
-
@northernnarwhal yeah, she definitly doesnt think like this

@mastermushi I wouldn't say Kino's Journey is a difficult show to follow, but it's definitely a difficult show to really appreciate. It's the sort of show where you can't really take what you're seeing at face value and have to ponder more about the themes and messages coming from the events taking place.
-
@northernnarwhal You look like you need hug! Dun cry BB! http://pny.lv/c9lf
-
@metaltao I always need a hug
-
@northernnarwhal i liked the sow a lot. But she preffer dumb love stories. Specially is they are yaoi love stories
-
@mastermushi Burn the witch!
-
@mastermushi That's probably why she wasn't as interested in it. That isn't to say that romance is a bad genre though, I've seen some romance shows that have been absolutely fantastic, but Kino's Journey takes a certain kind of viewer to really appreciate it. It's an intelligent and thought provoking series that serves as a reminder of why I'm a fan of anime in the first place.
