  • Kino no Tabi

    Also called Kino's Journey in the US. It's great if you like story, it's about a character named Kino with a talking Motorrad named 'Elmes' or 'Hermes', and they are travellers of course.
    They spend 3 days in every town they stop by, and then they move on. There are 13 episodes, but there is also an episode 00 which was a pilot episode, and that one's also pretty great.

    What goes on in the different towns, is usually something that makes you think about what just happened.. I dunno, hard to explain I guess. I own the first two DVD's, but I'm always too broke to buy the last two so I hope by the time I have the money to do so, that they're still available. :?

    Oh, and I recommend if you watch this, that you watch it in Japanese with subs, 'coz the voice acting is pretty bad in english. (bad choice of voices for the characters) :x

    Hmm...maybe I'll check it out. If they're not available when you scrape the cash together to grab'em, let me know and I'll see if I can find them.
    I may be lazy, but I can...zzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZ...

      Well I'm sure I could find them for download, I might do that in case I never get around to buying, I'll just archive them for a year or two and watch them after that. :P

      I usually buy my stuff at animegamers or animecastle, if it's not available at a local suncoast or if I'm lazy.

        I've heard good things about Kino no Tabi, but I have yet to get it. I'll bump it up on my anime priority list

        Did you know about the Kino no Tabi prequel movie that is coming out? It's called "Kino no Tabi ~The Beautiful World~ -Life goes on-" There is a 30 minute preview of it available now from fansubbers, but the movie itself hasn't come out yet. From what I have heard it is as good as the original series.

          Damn! I really need to hurry and get the rest then. -_- I guess I'll look for it to download, I'll buy it for sure later I'd never cheat Kino out of some cash.

          I'm not watching any 30 minute preview though, that's a bit too much of a revealer don't you think? :P

          *Later*

          Err, that's not a preview, if you watched it already that was the whole movie. :? I just read at a bunch of sites that it's a 30-minute movie.

          Freakin' title of the movie though, it makes me think that something shitty happens in the very end of the series, and the fact that the movie is a prequel...

            Reports on the internet differ on what it is, some say it's the movie itself, others say it's a 30 minute preview of the movie that acts as a stand alone episone itself

            (now that I think about it... you might have to be registered at anime-reactor to view that... but... every anime fan should be registered there anyway :P )

            In any case, I got the first episode of Kino no Tabi last night, gonna get the rest now that I know there are decent sources for it.

              Did you get episode 00 as well? I downloaded the movie last night, not gonna watch it yet though just making sure I have it for later.

              You use emule/edonkey? lol, 'coz I saw someone named KingEdgar0[ARC] downloading a kino ep off of me and I thought it was too similar to be a coincidence..

                haha.. Yep, that's me. I use emule to get a bunch of stuff at once... now that I have a HD with some real space on it, I just add a bunch of stuff and let it go for a while. I prefer bittorrent for getting things quickly.. but lately my cable modem and/or router has been having a shitfit when I use BT, so I've been using emule more and more.

                  From AnimeOnDvd.com:

                  "TOKYOPOP @ Anime Expo (02:19 PM EDT): The TOKYOPOP panel report is now up as well (as several industry panels are foolishly scheduled against each other again this year). There's a number of licenses listed in their for manga and some are mixed into the main paragraph such as Loveless, but of note is the Kino's Journey novel as well as the Gravitation novel!"

                  Looks like we are getting the novel =D
                  I hope the translation is decent.

                  hmm.. I was under the impression that there was more than 1 novel... I'll need to look into that...

                    I tried to get the novels, (I think there are 8 altogether, but that could be chapters in 1 novel or something), but what I downloaded turned out to be just a damn collection of nice art from the novels. :?
