Movie Reviews of Kino's Journey - The Idle Adventurer (Vol. 1)
Movie Review: one of a kind!
Summary: 5 Stars
Kino's Journey - Idle Adventure is a one of a kind story! if you like humor or romance i would not suggest this but if you like a bit violence and somethink to make you think this is the one!
The first series Kino (a girl, took me until the second episode to figure that out^^)starts out in the desert on her motorrad,(a talking motorcycle)Hermes. They come to a city were machines run the city and everyone lives apart, I will stop there...
The second episode is a bit gruesome for some people. Kino kills a rabbit bloody )not to bad). She comes across three men who are stuck in the snow from the beginning of winter from there on out Kino helps them. The ending will take you by surprise!
The third episode has a lot in it. Kino travels to three countries the first one is one that say the world is going to end. The second is the country of amazing tuitions (pretty much explains it) and the third is a sad and sowerful. Kino is told a story about why it is so sad, the end is tied in with the first countries she visits.
The forth the adult land, were when you are 12 you are turned into an adult and forced to do what your parents did before you. This one explains how Kino past life got her where she is right now (once again violent) it was a bit touching for me. Also takes a quote from the first episode.
Summary of Kino's Journey - The Idle Adventurer (Vol. 1)
Kino is a hoydenish adolescent, traveling through a strange world on Hermes, her Motorrad (a talking motorbike), like an animated Peter Fonda. In an extended flashback in episode 4, the viewer learns she's escaped from a eerie country where children are surgically transformed into conformist adults on their 12th birthdays. Kino wanders from country to country, encountering individuals who range from slave trader-cannibals to millennial religious fanatics, but she remains a detached outsider. She expresses no more interest in the lives of the slavers she kills than in the people of a city that has made sorrow into a ritual. As Kino, voice actor Kelli Cousins sounds considerably older than an adolescent; Cynthia Martinez (Hermes) speaks in gravelly tones that suggest Marge Simpson with a head cold. The subdued palette, fragments of poetry, and alienated heroine will appeal to fans of Serial Experiments Lain. (Rated 15 and older: violence) --Charles SolomonAnime & Manga DVD Video
