Release orderRecommended
0 / 5 watchedRelease order. The 2003 run and the 2017 series are independent adaptations, so treat them as two takes.

- 2 Kino's Journey: Life Goes On 30-minute film, released February 2005. A Kino origin story tied to the 2003 series.

2017 version

About Kino's Journey
Kino and the talking motorrad Hermes spend three days in each country they visit, and each stop tests a custom, law, or belief. The 2003 A.C.G.T series ran 13 episodes on WOWOW from April to July 2003, followed by two 30-minute films in 2005 and 2007 plus a short Tower Country episode in 2005.
Lerche's 2017 series adapts the same light novels from scratch in 12 episodes, so it is a separate take rather than a sequel. The release order below keeps the two versions distinct, and either series works as an entry point since the stories stand alone.
Good to know
Only two films are verified: Life Goes On (February 2005) and Country of Illness: For You (April 2007). No film titled Inorganic Angel was found in episode databases. The light novels passed 24 volumes in 2025 with no new anime announced as of September 2026.
