| Weird, another insane country, I feel sorry for the one guy who wanted to leave. Kino help the guy out don't drive him nuts. |

| LOL! What an insane country. But, oh well. That's their purpose, right?! I wonder how they live sufficing their needs.... |

| pretty short ova, nothing special, it could have been half of a normal episode |
 |

| Those people are messed in the head and have too much time on their hands. |
| That sure was one big tower, not sure if I liked the concept of this side story to much there wasn't really much development nor plot of it other than the collapse... Not bad though up to the main story! |
 |
| Building this tower is their life and belief. We think they are weird and they think we are weird but the fact is that their knowledge about the world is limited. They think their actions are normal because that is how they've been taught in their life-time and nothing else besides that matters. |
| I felt bad for the guy who realized how stupid the whole tower building thing was! |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Have the character designs always been this bad? More deep meanings that a 17 year old like me will probably not understand. When a bunch of people are building a tower and one guy thinks the ones building the tower are crazy, who is the real crazy one? I didn't really like this that much. There wasn't enough time to really flesh out the country. 6/10 Fabsotic said: Thanks for clearing that up. It all makes sense now. The underlying meanings in Kino's Journey are so unbelievably deep that it makes it very hard for a teenager to completely understand.Building this tower is their life and belief.

| Where can I watch this? There was one site I found, but it had no sound. |
| Looking past all of the absurdity, the idea of the tower construction reminds me of daily life. It can get monotonous and bland if all I'm doing is repeating the same steps day after day. Even something as simple and slight as coloring and engraving bricks added a brand new approach to building the tower. Similarly, finding those new ways to enjoy each day transforms life from a repetitive task to a vivid adventure. |
 |
| Not the best episode, didn't really do anything with the premise. :( |
| LOL their orbital-elevator fell down. |

I kinda understand the meaning but it's hard to put it in words. 8/10 The meaning is simple, the people needed something to do with their lives, even if it meant never going anywhere. When there was nothing else to do, they decided to find something else (rebuilding the tower). Basically it's an allegory to the people who lead meaningless lives who are not capable of accepting different realities or broaden their horizons. , they are solely focused on their vision. |
 |
| Insane or rather strange country , this special was better than movie 2 imo . |
 |
| Why do they call the cities countries? I find that rlly weird so far. Otherwise fine approach so far. I watched the 1st episode first (assuming this is episode 0) |
 |
| I don't really know how the can build that tower without working Where's the money for building it? :P Is that perhaps babel tower reference? xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| These Kino episodes some of them have deeper meaning and that's why I love and will continue to watch them. |

| It was pretty boring at first but the delivery was super funny, this town is really something. Well, let them do what they want to have fun, 7/10. |
 |
| I'll answer the question, everyone in the town is nuts. |
 |
| Kino being a lawful neutral asshat again lol like, Kino, would it kill you to take the guy a few hundred yards out of town so the villagers can't find him and execute him for dissenting? I feel like this episode might be an allegory for customs and traditions, but eh, I dunno |
| 馬鹿じゃないの。。。this was stupid...why do even build tower..but then again everthing is stupid |
 |
| I didn't like this at all, felt rushed and the ending that's basically "just keep doing as your told" kinda runs contrary to what this show usually was about. |
   |
| Probably one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. Were they building a tower or a space elevator? lol I thought the people were jubilant over the tower collapsing because they no longer had to worship it, but in reality they were just celebrating that they could build it yet again. The one guy who realised their Sisyphean task was beyond asinine just got mocked by Kino for the fun of it too. The guy should definitely consider travelling on his own as an alternative to whatever sort of hellish torture that country perennially subjects itself to. Makes no sense at all. Still funny by virtue of it being so shamelessly outlandish. |
