I watched the first episode on a NewType magazine disk and really liked it so I picked up the first installment.
So far, I have only watched the first two episodes. There are four on the disk.
It's really slow and wordy, but I reallt like the drawing style and the stories. Plus, Kino's motorcycle talks.
Now, I am a giant robot fan by nature, but I also like a good story sometimes. I think you should give it a shot also.side note - I also like the theme song. Usually I don't care for j-pop kinda stuff, but this one is different. It's still poppy as hell, but there is a bit of sadness (or something) to the song structure which I really like.
