I am planning to start kino no tabi:The Beautiful World but confused should I watch the original or the alternative version. Are there any difference between them except animations like more chapters are adapted in the alternative version and it's like a sequel?

There is some overlap but most episodes are different. The episodes that adapt the same stories are better i the original version. The original version has the best atmosphere and by far the best character designs. The new version has some extra comedy which is a mixed bag. The quality of the stories is similar, I prefer the original but the new version has some cool ones as well. You can start with any series but I recommend the original.

I've finally watched both and can give my two cents.

Short answer: watch both openings, you'll immediately know what version you'll like better.

2003 > 2017 imo

Long answer: both are good really and I could understand why some people would prefer one or another, its a question of personal taste really. Thats why I suggest watching both openings to get a general feeling of each, seeing the art and the tone of the opening may tilt towards trying one or another because their main differences will show.

I personally like the 2003 version better, its a masterpiece, but watching both and the 2003 specials was nice.

I think the 2017 ads to it but I'd go 2003, then 2003 specials, then 2017.
