Kino was a young adventurer, set out on a journey by riding on a talking motorcycle named Hermes, which she assembled from junk parts. together they wandered from one place to another, exploring the custom n culture of different towns. she only spent 3 days at each location, on the principle that 3 days is sufficient enough to learn almost everything important about a place. the experience was interesting, sometimes weird, sometimes even deadly. a simple anime, straightforward but unique as each stop will present something different, thus keeping the anime fairly interesting n captivating.

ReplyDeleteSo only 3 days is needed? Is it? I wonder what he will end up as...a historian?
ReplyDeleteI love this anime. It was aired over at Animax channel some time back and I watched faithfully.
ReplyDeleteBut I always thought Kino is a girl?
I was really thinking of going backpack with a number of good friends by the time I just started to work some years ago. Anyway, only an idea, never get it executed...
