meganbmooreI just learned today that there's a movie for Kino's Journey/Kino no Tabi that covers part of the story the anime series didn't. Has anyone seen this, and is it any good? And more importantly(because I love Kino enough to suffer through a bad movie if I must and therefore will probably watch even if told it sucks) has it been licensed yet. I found it to DL, but I can hold out for a DVD if there's one headed my way...
For those who don't know what I'm talking about: Kino is a whimsical, sometimes light, often sad, anime about a young traveller named Kino, who, with a talking, snarky, motorad(cycle) named Hermes, travels the world, never staying longer than three days in any country(the countries rather resemble city-states) learning more about humanity, both good and bad, in each country. Though not as manic and fast paced as most anime, it's one of the best.(IMnsHO) For what it's worth, one of the things that originally atracted me to Mushishi was that it reminded me of Kino in feel.
Here's the opening credits:
