{"product_id":"kinos-journey-complete-collection-dvd","title":"Kino's Journey - Complete Collection DVD","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eDestination is a state of mind, and for the young traveler Kino, the world is a vast patchwork of isolated countries, each harboring its own unique culture, laws, and philosophies. Accompanied by Hermes, a talking, silver-plated motorrad, Kino journeys through this surreal landscape under a strict personal rule: never stay in any single place for more than three days—just enough time to learn how the locals live before moving on. From a land where residents use medicine to read minds to a kingdom where Colosseum duels dictate social status, Kino observes the beauty, cruelty, and profound absurdities of human nature with absolute neutrality, operating as a witness rather than a judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKino's Journey\u003c\/i\u003e (originally titled \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"34\"\u003eKino no Tabi: The Beautiful World\u003c\/i\u003e) is a hypnotic, deeply philosophical masterpiece based on the light novel series by Keiichi Sigsawa. Renowned for its atmospheric storytelling, minimalist aesthetic, and haunting acoustic score, the series plays out like a collection of dark fairy tales or thought experiments. This complete collection from ADV Films captures the definitive 2003 anime adaptation, celebrated for its quiet intensity and stunning psychological depth. It is a slow-burn, intellectual odyssey that challenges the viewer's perceptions of morality, society, and existence, making it an indispensable landmark for fans of mature, contemplative anime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryutaro Nakamura (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"28\"\u003eSerial Experiments Lain\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"53\"\u003eGhost Hound\u003c\/i\u003e) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"66\"\u003eSeries Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Sadayuki Murai (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"102\"\u003ePerfect Blue\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"116\"\u003eBoogiepop Phantom\u003c\/i\u003e) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"135\"\u003eOriginal Creator:\u003c\/b\u003e Keiichi Sigsawa \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"169\"\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e A.C.G.T. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"186\"\u003eMusic:\u003c\/b\u003e Liang (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"200\"\u003eRyo\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"205\"\u003eCast:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"213\"\u003eAi Maeda \/ Kelli Cousineau\u003c\/b\u003e as Kino \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"250\"\u003eRyuji Aigase \/ Cynthia Martinez\u003c\/b\u003e as Hermes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDVD Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e• \"Behind the Scenes\" Cast \u0026amp; Crew Interviews \u003cbr\u003e• Clean Opening Animation (\"All the way\" by Mikuni Shimokawa) \u003cbr\u003e• Clean Closing Animation (\"The Beautiful World\" by Ai Maeda) \u003cbr\u003e• Original Japanese Promotional Trailers \u0026amp; TV Spots • Production Art \u0026amp; Background Illustration Gallery \u003cbr\u003e• ADV Films Previews\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpoken Languages:\u003c\/b\u003e English \u0026amp; Japanese Audio, English subtitles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/b\u003e キノの旅 -the Beautiful World- (Kino no Tabi) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"58\"\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/b\u003e ~325 Minutes (Complete 13-Episode Series) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"109\"\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryutaro Nakamura \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"136\"\u003eDVD Release Year:\u003c\/b\u003e 2004–2005 (ADV Films Thinpak \/ Boxset Release) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"201\"\u003eOriginal Air Date (Japan):\u003c\/b\u003e 2003 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"233\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ADV Films \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"254\"\u003eRating:\u003c\/b\u003e TV-14 (Contains Psychological Themes \u0026amp; Violence) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"311\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Region 1 (U.S. \/ Canada) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"344\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e Philosophical, Adventure, Drama, Slice of Life \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"398\"\u003eThemes:\u003c\/b\u003e Travel, Human Nature, Morality, Allegorical Storytelling, Dystopia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia assumed VG+ unless otherwise noted.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"VG+","offer_id":42560575668309,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/E4640112-1329-452D-ACEE-6FCE1C949E2A.jpg?v=1781135043","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/kinos-journey-complete-collection-dvd","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
