WOOOOW You guys. Ok, I'm warning you - don't sleep on this installment.
I've been a fan of Kino no Tabi since high school - the least anime-like anime series out there, and more literary in nature. Each episode explores the downfalls of society with subtle depth through allegory, and though it becomes formulaic after a while, it's still a breath of fresh air. Some volumes of the manga have been rehashing episodes of the previous animes. This one, as far as I can tell, hasn't. And whoaHOLYSMOKES (no pun intended) did this volume knock my socks off. I definitely recommend that you keep pushing forward with this series.
