Plot:
"Kino no Tabi revolves around a girl, Kino, her sentient motorcycle, Hermes, and their many travels. Kino moves from town to town spending only three days and leaving on the third night. Her reason is that three days is long enough to learn anything of importance about an area though her real reason being that she does not want to settle down. Throughout her travels, she encounters several civilizations and odd areas where she has to deal with tragedy, oppression, brutality, loneliness and compassion."
