Kino's Journey -the Beautiful World- the Animated Series Episode 6: In the Clouds Part B / Before the Clouds / In the Clouds Part A / Since That Day

A heavier episode that is more on the bleak side. It's a harsh episode that doesn't go too overboard that it becomes less genuine. It explores how hope and despair can exist side by side. The atmosphere is haunting and the episode lingers on you even after it ends.

Heavy one, not gonna lie. It's a rough watch dealing with abuse and blind loyalty, but the payoff about her life afterward makes it worth sitting through. Doesn't feel exploitative, just genuinely sad and then hopeful. Just brace yourself when you watch it.

What an interesting story. Never got bored at all even though it's a slow-paced anime. The way they deliver the story makes it even more engaging. Kept waiting until the end to find out what was really going on. Is this a new story or what? 🤣 I thought at first it was Kino's past, but I guess I was wrong, lol. Overall, it's a great episode.
