I just caught a glimpse of this Kino's Journey anime on YouTube when I was trying to find the opening scene of Ancient Magus Bride and I feel too called out by this one scene of an anime that I never saw nothing about. It was one where I assume the main character is taken as a slave and retains a sort of optimistic outlook despite the fact she was in a bad situation that made even her captors the ones spewing the morality right message. It made me realize that at one point that would have been me and since at the time I was purposely looking for someone to enslave me (and not in a BDSM way either) this would have likely been where my life took a dark turn. It made me question if this character has some severe self-esteem issues that caused her to lack a sense of self-respect and self-care. I admit though that it scares me that perhaps one day should I end up having nobody in my life or nowhere to go I might actually give myself up as property to someone like Chise Hatori. Your review was actually really solid and deserves more recognition compared to the others which were likely rated high by some pretty toxic weebs who are the culprits in making weeb someone people feel ashamed in being. I never saw the rest of the anime and it feels like a really problematic piece of fiction.
