Quote:No, there's no riding of trains in the entire series, although half of an episode is about 3 different people working on a train track. Kino rides a motocycle...a talking motocycle named Hermes. Wacky adventures? No, except maybe in the sence that they aren't quite normal. Kino travels from country to country and always stays in each place for only three days. It's a hard series to explain accurately since it's unlike just about anything I've ever seen before. It's kind of like "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" in that it is a combination of a journey, philosophy, and the human condition, if that makes any sense.
Sounds strange and unique... exactly what I'd expect from the maker of the strange-and-unique (and really awesome!) serieses Serial Experiments Lain and Haibane Renmei. :)
