Kino's Journey, Vol. 2 - Emerging Lanes
Format: Animated, Color, DVD-Video, Subtitled, NTSC Language: English, Japanese Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only. Read more about DVD formats.) Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 Number of discs: 1 Rating Studio: Adv Films DVD Release Date: April 6, 2004 Run Time: 75 minutes Kino continues to travel through lands that suggest the different planets visited in Leiji Matsumoto's Galaxy Express 999 or Kenji Miayazawa's The Night on the Galactic Railroad. But Kino's underplayed adventures lack the excitement of the former and evocative poetry of the latter. Taciturn and uninvolved, she never interacts with anyone, except on the most superficial level. Kino makes good use of the marksmanship she developed somewhere along the road in the two-part "Coliseum." A mad king forces visitors to compete in gladiatorial combats to attain the exalted position of first-class citizen. But the ending can be seen coming a mile off (even without a Motorrad), and Kino's protests against social injustice receive only a few seconds of screen time. Kino's Journey plays like a cross between Serial Experiments Lain and Along Came Bronson; however, its alienated heroine may appeal to moody teenage girls.
