'Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World - The Animated Series' Air Date, Spoilers: Mystical Journey With Talking Motorcycle Begins in October
The story of a young adventurer and her talking motorcycle begins when the Japanese anime series "Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World - The Animated Series" premieres next month.
The series will be centering on the protagonist named Kino, who is accompanied by a talking motorcycle named Hermes. Together, they travel through the twists and turns of a mystical world riddled with many different countries and mysterious forests. Their travels and adventures will bring them closer to the unique customs, traditions, and people in each mystical place that they visit.
There is a catch, though; she only has three days and two nights to spend in every town, which is a self-imposed rule that has no exception. Kino believes that three days is all a person needs to learn everything there is to learn about any particular place, while also having enough time to explore brand new lands beyond the horizon.

However, she will soon realize that this rule may well be nothing but a lie since she realizes that staying longer than three days will only make her want to stay in that certain place for good.
The anime is based on a light novel series written by Keiichi Sigwasa and illustrated by Kouhaku Kuroboshi. It was first published in 2000 in the fifth volume of MediaWorks' now-defunct light novel magazine, Dengeki hp.
A 13-episode anime adaptation has also been produced by A.C.G.T and Genco between April and July of 2003.
On the other hand, the upcoming 2017 anime adaptation will reportedly be animated by Lerche and produced by EGG FIRM under the direction of Tomohisa Taguchi. Yukie Sugawara will be supervising over the scripts, while Ryoko Amisaki takes care of character design. The opening and ending theme songs will be performed by Nagi Yanagi.
"Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World - The Animated Series" premieres on Friday, Oct. 6, at 10 p.m. JST on AT-X and late night at 12:30 a.m. JST on Tokyo MX, Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, and BS11. Information on other broadcast schedules and online resources will be released at a later time.
