| Go go Kino! She's pwned everyone thus far. |
 |
| At least she let's them live. Good to see this show do action well and curious if Kino will try to save the country. |
| My anime list |
| Great episode! Can't wait to see part 2! |
| Well that was a refreshing change of pace; even the fighting in Kino No Tabi iis masterfully done. |
| "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." Douglas Adams |
| Kino is so awesome. It was nice seeing them refuse to surrender at first, and then lose. :3 |
| That was actually some action I did like. Nicely done how Kino valued the lives of her opponents. |
| Oh yay, action episode.:D |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Everything in this series is amazingly well done, even the fighting. It was really awesome seeing Kino's skills too. Fantastic episode. Curious to see whether she will try to do anything about the state of the country... |
| aren't she a skilled cookie? ^_^ Refreshing change indeed. |

| Wow, I wouldn't have expected an episode like this. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I think biker's a pretty cool guy. Eh fighting gladiators and doesn't afraid of anything. Yeah honestly this is the only country in the series so far that could conceivably exist irl, I guess that says something about the world huh? Anyway, that action was superb. Good enough for Ninja Scroll even, and what higher praise could be given? |
 |
| Well I really liked the action here, although i would also be happy with more deep stories. btw Kino is just awesome :D |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| who could give this 3/5 O.o this was an awesome episode :),5/5 i love Kino more and more heh :p |

| Is it just me or is that guy with the talking dog the son of the current king? |
 |
| Kino's awesome and this episode only proves it more. And was anyone else amazed at the flamethrower? |
 |
| Where did she learn to fight like that? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Tinky-Winky said: she pwns! xD and how'd that old guy know she's a girl? everyone else mistakes her for a boy. Old people are very wise supposedly wolfsrainXD said: This episode was so good =) And I wonder if Kino killed that guy with that fire gun... didn't she knock him out with the butt or handle of the gun |
| Favourite episode thus far; reminded me of Gladiator. Anything to do with coliseums is awesome. |
| Gladiators! Man what an episode, this mini-arc introduces action-oriented episodes in Kino with extremely clever fights. |
 |
| Dat battle of the gladiators. |
 |
| Kino should have killed the Colonel. If his desire is to die in battle then feel it would be respectful to fulfill that request, though it would have messed with the merciful vibe Kino is showing in this episode. |
| Kino is just too OP! Haha Yet the pattern still continues... *facepalms Episode 1 - Decent Episode 2 - Good Episode 3 - Decent Episode 4 - Good Episode 5 - Decent Episode 6 - Good I'm sure this next episode will break the curse because its part 2 of episode 6! ;-; |
 |
| I knew Kino wouldn't kill them off. Sooo..... is Kino a boy or a girl? She looks more like a girl to me. :) |
| Didn't really liked this episode to much, was nice action but didn't feel the concept fit in the whole story... |
 |
Homolust said: Is it just me or is that guy with the talking dog the son of the current king? Yes. My thoughts exactly. I like the tournament. Kino's actually pretty skilled. o.o |
| This is a bit of a strange situation. Didn't know there'd be so much violence in this anime. Which, of course, I'm fine with, just thought it would be more peaceful. |
 |
| Kino! One of the coolest girls I've seen in anime. I really admire Kino more and more as I watch the show. I like how she didn't kill a single person. She really understands the value of life. 5/5 for this awesome episode. |
 |
| I really enjoyed the action of this episode, this showed us how Kino fights and how easy she was going on her opponents, I think she still has more skill to show us. |
| Wait did she really shoot at 2 flying daggers? o.O |
| i understand that kino doesn't want to kill the people, but i think its hurting the enemies pride by letting them live and major embarrassment my girlfriend loved this for the philosophy behind it |
| Really nice episode :D |
 |
| I love how Kino sighs every time her opponent refuses to surrender. Kind of like "ahh what a bother." |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| hahaha kino is so awesome! asking your opponets to surrender before even starting the fight. that really shows us how much confidence she has |
 |
Ookamihime said: I am getting HUGE Hunger Games vibes from this episode. The contest premise is a little similar, the characters are very similar (i.e. Katniss = Kino, bow and arrow = pistol, guy with dog = Peeta), 24 contestants, corrupt government, etc. We'll see where the second episode goes! Exciting. More like Battle Royale since The Hunger Games is pretty much its Rip-off |
 |
| A little action won't hurt :D a nice episode. Kino kicking asses!!! 4/5 |
| Otsuka Hochu is the dog! |
| Wow Kino, that was great. |
