The story
Based on a hit light novel series by Keiichi Sigsawa, the philosophical Kino's Journey employs the time-honored motif of the road trip as a vehicle for self-discovery and universal truth. Deeply meditative and cooler than zero, the series follows the existential adventures of the apt marksman Kino along with talking motorcycle Hermes as they travel the world and learn much about themselves in the process. Imaginative, thought-provoking, and sometimes disturbing, Kino's journey is documented in an episodic style with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than action or plot, though still prevalent.

Someone once told me that watching the birds made them want to go on a journey.
“The world is not beautiful; and that, in a way, lends it a sort of beauty.”
The oddly captivating dark journey of Kino and her motorroad.
Uma viagem imersiva, porém, vazia.
