ADV Launches Kino's Journey Website
ADV Films is pleased to present the brand new official website for our upcoming release of Kino’s Journey, the fascinating new tale that follows the travels of Kino and faithful companion—the talking motorcycle Hermes.

Reminiscent of such enduring classics as Henry Fonda’s Easy Rider, Kino’s Journey is based off of the popular Kino no Tabi novel series written by Keiichi Sigsawa and published by Dengeki Bunko. The sensational story follows the unique travels of a young adventurer named Kino as well as Kino's traveling companion, a talking motorcycle named Hermes. Together, they visit many different places throughout their adventures and meet many different people. They spend three days at each location they visit before heading out to their next destination. Everyone they encounter during their journey is somewhat compassionate and very admirable.

Within ADV's website, you will find the latest news and information concerning the forthcoming Kino’s Journey TV series, the original novels, DVDs and other related products that are available in Japan.
