Oldtaku no Radio #014 – Kino's Journey (2003) - a podcast by Ani-Gamers

Released in 2003, the first Kino’s Journey anime is an episodic affair that centers around an AI-imbued motorad named Hermes and its rider, a traveler named Kino. They visit country (town) after country and stay no more than three days at a time to observe the inhabitants and their customs. The series, based on a series of light novels (…no wait, keep reading!), offers settings not bound by any solid sense of chronology; countries can combine such disparate genre elements as sci-fi and Western, and the differences between countries can also make them seem centuries apart. Kino’s Journey is one of Ink’s favorite anime, and Jared just watched it for the first time. Find out what we have to say and then maybe go grab yourself a copy. (The sale Jared and Ink refer to during the episode is over, but the show is still a steal at $20.)
