To some the may be a little obvious, but did you notice the similaritys in Wolfs Rain and Cowboy bebop?
( SPOLIER ALERT IN #6)

1) the both have the same creator

2)Look at Hige from WR then look at Spike from CB :
they have the same hair style and put some pounds on spike and make him short, then you have a Hige

3)Both animes have a old "Mystical" person:
Laughing Bull from CB and the indian cheif from WR

4) Yokko Kanno did the music for both:
This and "1)" are obvious I think

5)The both have a group (around 4-5) and they get tag-alongs though out the series:
WR: Kiba,Tsume,Tobe,and Hige Tag-alongs Blue,Hub,and Cher
CB: Jet,Spike,Ein Tag-alongs Faye and Ed


[spoiler]6) In the end of the series all or just one main characters die:
CB: spike dies
WR: first Tobe dies then the rest of them do[/spoiler]

7)(i wasnt going to post this) same gender relationships:
WR: tsume and tobe
CB Faye and Julia

Can you find anything else that is the same?, because im stumpped here

[FONT=book antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue]What possibly could you be stumped on? Wolf's Rain and Cowboy Bebop are similar because they have the same creator and composer. What's there to be stumped about? You just want to find more similarities or something?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

A "spoiler alert" is not nearly enough here, dear. And as the person who tagged your post, I had no choice but to see what you wrote. If there's one thing that really gets my goat, it's being spoiled... seriously, this is the kind of thing which makes me want to never venture on a message board again. So please, the next time you plan to discuss major plot twists, simply type [spoiler]text[/*spoiler]--minus the asterisk, of course.

I don't think the two anime are at all similar, to be honest. The phrase "the same creator" is quite misleading, and I have no idea what you're trying to imply by using it. Wolf's Rain and Cowboy Bebop have different directors; as a result, Wolf's Rain lacks Shinichiro Watanabe's distinctive touch. The director of Wolf's Rain had a small hand in the Cowboy Bebop movie, but that's it. They do share the same script-writer, Keiko Nobumoto, yet in Cowboy Bebop he was just one part of a much larger team.

Yoko Kanno has worked on a huge number of anime--everything from Turn A Gundam to Escaflowne to Earth Girl Arjuna. Just the fact that she did the music for both Cowboy Bebop and Wolf's Rain is not the best reason to claim they're similar, particularly since the soundtracks of said series are rather different.

They have the same character designer, but again, that's a pretty superficial connection. For better or for worse, Adult Swim chose to hype Wolf's Rain as being made by the creators of Cowboy Bebop. Because of this, people tend to think that Watanabe directed both anime, and so on and so forth.
