Kino's Journey-the Beautiful World- the Animated Series", episode 7 synopsis & advance cut!

The synopsis and advance cut of episode 7 of the autumn anime "Kino's Journey-the Beautiful World- the Animated Series," currently airing on TV, have been released.

Kino's Journey the Beautiful World" is a light novel by Keiichi Shigurezawa (illustrated by Kohaku Kuroboshi, published by Dengeki Bunko). The story is about Kino, a traveler who looks like a boy but is actually a girl, who travels around various countries with her partner, Hermes, a motrado (two-wheeled vehicle). Rather than a journey with a purpose, the story is a series of short stories that connect events in countries with very different values and customs. Each one is like an independent fable. The dark tales of human greed and emotions are picked up and depicted in a straightforward manner.

A total of 13 episodes were broadcast as TV animation from April 2003, followed by the movie "Kino's Journey to Do Something -life goes on.-" in 2005, and in 2007 the movie "Kino's Journey to the Land of Illness -For You-" was released in 2007. In March of this year, a re-animated TV anime series was announced. The new anime series "Kino's Journey -the Beautiful World- the Animated Series" will be directed by Tomohisa Taguchi, the director of "Onmyouji of Twin Stars", and the animation production will be handled by Lerche of "Assassination Classroom" and "Kuzu no Honkai".
