Australian distributor Hanabee is getting in on a bit of a classic that’s finally getting a new release there with the original Kino’s Journey anime series. The distributor has set a July 30th, 2018 release for the DVD-only project that’s priced at $29.99. Spread across three discs in bilingual form, it’ll have the thirteen episode run. No extras are listed for it yet.
The light novels began back in 2000 and there are twenty volumes out as of last fall.
Plot Concept: Destination is a state of mind. Travellers not only find themselves in a variety of locations and geographic phenomena, but they also bear witness to the whims of culture and the skewed effects of suble circumstance. Kinoi is such a traveler. Sitting astride Hermes, an 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. Drift along for the ride.
