Anime Wolf's Rain

[Super Feen]

So is anyone watching this anime? I've only seen through episode 3 and so far I am very impressed. The animation is excellent and so far the story is keeping me interested. It's from Bones, the same crew responsible for Cowboy Bebop so the same quality is present. Here's a short blurb from Anime-Keep to give you an idea of what it's about

[QUOTE]200 years they were said to been extinct, and for nearly 200 years humans have continued to extentsively use the earth's limited resources for their own luxury. The end of Earth is near, and it has been foretold that the wolves will know the path to the paradise...[/QUOTE]

The way I understand it, the wolves are magical and legendary creatures that have adapted to living with humans by tricking the human eye so that other people just see them as humans and not wolves. If you haven't seen or even heard about this then I strongly suggest that you do everything you can to check it out.

I was reading about that in one of my New Types. It looks interesting enough. The main character looks a lot like Domon from Mobile Fighter G - Gundam though. I am really looking forward to see this anime though. I have been waiting and waiting for another CB series. I guess this is as close as I can get. :P The story is actually quite strange, and has a mysterious feel to it.

I am looking for some of the episodes on iMesh right now. I always like to 'preview' my anime before I even think about buying it. I'll edit this if I can get any.

I would like to see this. I love wolfs and other animals! But the problem is in salford, none of the good stuff in the US comes over to use. The only good stuff is dragonball z, Simpsons, Gundum and the souls of the lost. The souls of the lost is brill! It's about a boy who had another soul trapped inside him. The soul takes over and is taking other souls. It up to tiger (the legandary warrior) To stop him. But the soul master keeps running out of tiger grasp. There also shinzo, on fox kids and that OK.

it looks pretty interesting and i also saw it in Newtype. I haven't seen any of the anime when i look around so i haven't seen any yet. But if it involves wolves i will probably enjoy it.

Three replies for such a ******* masterpiece?! Egads, folks...

I love Wolf's Rain! I can't wait for my DVDs to get here. Damn shipping time from Japan. Anyways, to the topic.. It's a perfect story of a quest to paradise. When I first started watching, I had no idea where they were going with it. Especially Cheza. I was figuring she was going to be the silent figure throughout the whole story, never actually playing a true role, only a speculative role. The slow character development was probably my only problem with it. The characters were all great once I finally knew whom they were and now are. The slow progression of Kiba to the leader of the pack was a nice touch too. I would have expected him to just be plopped in there like every other leader in an anime. And the fact that he isn't perfect really adds to the idea of a real wolf pack. Tsume always guiding Kiba in the world of man he was naive to. Always brining him back to reality when he sucombed to Cheza's scent. It also seems to be the first anime that actually made me cry, as much as I don't really enjoy admitting it. I felt a connection to the characters, and when they hurt it made me feel sad. Especially episode.. 10? with the Blue incident. Oy, when I thought what was going to happen I felt sad. And the music is splendid! I listen to the OST so often. In my opinion, it is Yoko Kanno-sama's best work ever. It really went with the series, an eloquent dance of happiness and sorrow...

Enough of that now.
