Description:
Destination is a state of mind. Travelers not only find themselves in a variety of locations and geographic phenomena, but they also bare witness to the whims of culture and the skewed effects of subtle circumstance. Kino is such a traveler. Sitting astride Hermes, the ultimate internal combustion companion, Kino searches for life’s answers, life’s questions, and the myriad of interpretations connected to them. A wielder of cutlery, firepower and a piercing tongue, Kino is ready to embark on a journey unlike any other!

Rating:  - Simply Wonderful
I have been able to identify with the heroine of this anime series more easily than any other that I have encountered thus far. Kino above her desire to not be defined by her gender or age, is strong-willed, independent and follows the path that she has chosen for herself without ever wavering and always with open eyes and a healthy appreciation for the world around her. Okay, perhaps "identify" is not the right word choice, as I don't feel I personally embody those ideals, but I certainly do "admire" ... Read More
Rating: - I'm so glad I found this.
I found this series here, on Amazon while looking for complete collections of new anime with good reviews. I was not disappointed. The series follows a traveler Kino and her motorad Hermes as they travel across the globe, only spending three days in a country (which is more like a village). In every episode, the two come across a different country with interesting people.

Kino's Journey- The Complete Collection
I personally do not watch a lot of anime. It is not that I don't enjoy it, but rather that I just don't choose to watch it. With my sister becoming enthralled in anime, I have found myself watching some every now and then. This is the first one that I fully watched the entire series of though.
Kino is a traveler. She has no real purpose or no real reason for traveling other then that she enjoys it. She travels with her talking motorcycle, who is ... Read More
Rating: - Kino's Journey: Wonderful!
This is a fantastic anime, very thought provoking and beautiful animation. Its a shorter one with only the 13 (I believe) episodes but well worth a watch. It can be an inspiring anime in how it thinks about what is beautiful in the world, the good and the bad. It really makes you think about your own view of morality and how people live. The box set is also very nice, wonderful add to any anime collection.
Rating:  - Kino's Journey provokes insights into human visions of utopia and their consquences
Definitlly for a mature individual, Kino in her traveles stumbles upon utopias gone wrong and human misery.
There are moments of peace and an introspection as Kino and her motorrad (a motorcycle with an AI) move though these vignettes staying only three day in each. This is a world where travelers must beware.
