Damn. What an episode. Setting aside the fairly simple surface-level story, this raises a ton of questions--what does it mean to be a part of the story of the world? How in control of our own lives are we? How do we square what we want with what’s good for the people around us?

Are we truly free?

I like that the book of “everything in the world” was blank canvas, free for anyone to write for themselves. I like that a lot. This was a really cool episode, and while I like the episode about the lady inventing powered flight more, this is an easy and close second place so far.

That’ll be all for today’s liveblog, and for the ninth episode of Kino’s Journey! Up next (starting tomorrow at noon EST!) will be the second half of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts episode 1! Tune in for that, or you can tune in to my Twitch channel today at 1 PM EST for our weekly Final Fantasy XIV stream!

Thank you all for tuning in, and thank you to my 46 blog patrons, who make it so I can do this for a living! I’ll see you soon!
