Adventurous anime
Journeys, scale and momentum.
Scale and momentum. A world bigger than the characters, a journey that changes them, and the sense that anything could be over the next hill.
Watch one when you want to be taken somewhere. These are the shows that feel like setting out on a long trip — the appeal is the going, not the arriving.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the most complete adventure in the medium. Hunter x Hunter is the most inventive. Made in Abyss is the most dangerous. Kino's Journey is the quietest, and the one most likely to surprise you.
Worth knowing: adventure does not require action. A show about a courier crossing a province can be more of an adventure than one about a war. What matters is that the world is larger than the person moving through it, and that moving costs something.
