Kino’s Journey
Anime Like Violet Evergarden if You’re Looking for Something Similar
Whether its the original 2003 series or the recent 2017 reimagining, Kino’s Journey is the kind of series that is perfect for those who like to see a character take on different scenarios and situations. Set in a world where travelers journey to different countries and locations in search of a home, Kino and her talking bike Hermes drift from one place to the next, drawn into a variety of conflicts and sticky situations they have to pick a side in.
From a town where murder is legal to a city where everyone must maintain a lie to ensure peace, each locale offers something new for Kino and the viewer to ponder, and the animation and sound design help to give it all a very relaxed and thoughtful atmosphere. It’s not a traditional anime by any means, but that’s exactly what makes it perfect for sitting down to when you need something to make you think.
