Kino's Journey -the Beautiful World- the Animated Series (Original Japanese Version)

Kino and Hermes meet a young man on their travels. He planned to move to the country that lay up ahead, but according to him, murder isn't prohibited by law there, and a vicious criminal has escaped to that land.

Kino and Hermes arrive at a country they've wanted to visit for a while. Despite high hopes that it would be a wonderful country, everything had changed with transition to a new king.

Kino is napping in a hammock when the ground suddenly begins to shake. The shaking grows stronger, and a huge, ashen country wall appears. Kino and Hermes are shocked at the sight of the moving country.

Shizu and Riku arrive in the Ship Country. Sailing between continents, the ship trades goods and takes on travelers willing to work. Shizu is offered a job overseeing the commoners, but instead chooses to work with them and is given a guide named Ti.

A cold wind blows with early winter. After receiving permission to stay in a country for three days, Kino and Hermes encounter a man who's waiting for his lover's return. After parting ways with him, Kino is welcomed by the residents in town.

A group of travelers sets camp high up in a tall mountain range. The affluent group laughs together, wearing warm clothes, and prepares their dinner. Meanwhile, one girl works away silently.

Kino tells Hermes a story.

Shizu begins his journey in search of a permanent residence along with Riku and Ti. After their group arrives at a country with stable order and a good economy, they take their time surveying the nation.

On top of a mountain, an old bandit stands on lookout with a teenage boy. Together, they carefully size up their prey: a dark-haired man in a buggy with a girl and a dog, a single rider on a motorrad. In addition, Kino drinks tea and makes a meal.

A small country lies surrounded by mountains. Blessed with beautiful forests, the country is still very poorly rated by travelers. The rumors were so bad they drew Kino's interest, who decides to visit the country with Hermes.

A girl going through her "Final Week" before becoming an adult meets a traveler named Kino. Kino travels a world unknown to the girl, the world outside her nation's walls, living life freely.

Framed by the warm sun, Kino passes through verdant, rocky plains. Beside the road, Kino spots some peaceful, napping sheep... who stand up and charge. A heated chase ensues until Kino is driven off a cliff by the herd of violent sheep.
