Shannon oleary this anime don't even get me started, this was my entrance into the anime world. interesting plot line very enjoyable characters from many different backgrounds, the characters grow so much throughout the whole series and love them more each episode. what a hidden treasure this show is. if your skeptical about watching the series i'd say go for it! it was one of the best decisions i have ever made. its a very well produced anime and the style is pleasing to the eye. if you do watch this i hope you enjoyed it as much as i have.

Cammy Jade Krueger I enjoy this adventurous suspenseful drama, but one flaw can be said. That they stray off of the course of the storyline way too many times to focus in on each of the main characters and other trite matters. "Wolf's Rain DVD 4" is nothing but replays, recollections of the series thus far from the view of the main characters, each handing down a commentary on their own personal episodes. I would say that they read too much into the things they encounter during their journey, and can spend half to entire episodes on something that doesn't even have to do with the main event. It appears as if they are walking towards the end, but would tend to break often and dilly-dally then start up again. But I can see how the creators might have done this intentionally, for the audience to see how intense this journey was which could have gone on for what might've been years. All in all it is fair, there are always new encounters and sights along the way, making every minute of it enjoyable despite the sidetrackings. The story manages to keep a steady tempo throughout each scene, whether stagnant or flowing which is difficult to do, which is why most rivaling animes lack this in their story-telling.

aris4309 It's not that I did not want to reward this movie with a straight forward 10. It's just out of a principle of mine that I don't give away '10-s' because I believe that a movie or series which you thought of being the best, can be surpassed by something which you just didn't happen to know yet. Or a movie which simply has not yet been made. But Wolf's Rain really gave me the feeling to release my self of that believe.Honestly, Wolf's Rain is one of the greatest tales ever been told. In all of the 30 episodes in which it is contained, it proofed to be an overwhelming experience. This begins at the very first episode and brings the viewer to a dramatic and beautiful climactic end.One other absolutely great anime-series has to be Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. This anime is able to bring you to the point of thinking about: intelligence, the questions: what is a human and what's not and where are the boundaries? And what's the near future like and will science-fiction turn to every-day technology. (They already have a professor in cybernetics at the University of Reading, you know.) Wolf's Rain however is all about the goals that we have to set in our lives to keep us going and all the feelings and emotions which lie on this road towards these goals. The human and emotional approach of Wolf's Rain is easier to understand for most people then the far more rational approach of the Ghost in the Shell-series. But in my point of view these two are part of the same amazing coin because these anime-series truly know how to amaze the viewer.Anyway Wolf's Rain is a perfect example of the grand potential of the anime-genre. I'm not a person who likes to cry a lot, but I'm not ashamed to say that I had to shed a tear while watching the last parts of the series. This series will make it very clear that the power of animation is to be able to maximize the expression of every element of the story. After seeing this anime, it became one of the reasons why I am an anime-fan. Try it out let it be a great expansion of your anime-collection or let it be a superb way to get acquainted with the anime-genre.

earthray2 Wolf's Rain follows the incredible journey of a pack of wolves who are desperately searching for Paradise, despite the crumbling world around them and the threat of extinction that haunts them. We viewers follow the emotional journey as they find Cheza, a flower maiden who is key to their dream, and awkwardly root for the destruction of humanity and salvation of the wolves. Check for incredible plot. Next is music--Done by Yoko Kanno, THE composer of the century, there's no way that you can watch this series and not be moved by the incredible soundtrack. It fits the series to a T--and, might I add that the songs range from Latin to French to Maaya Sakamoto singing English. So no worries there.The voice acting is one of the best that I have ever seen in anime, and trust me, I've seen A LOT. The voices are nearly perfect and fit like puzzle pieces with the tone and plot. So now for my direct opinions. Wolf's Rain is one of the best things I have ever seen. After every episode I found myself searching for a paradise of my own and a purpose as great as the wolves'. It is an addicting series that is beautifully done--the artwork is amazing and the animation has virtually no flaws. It flows and flows, and leaves you stunned at the end. A good stunned though. An inspired stunned. Which leaves me to my last note--if you're looking for an anime where you can predict the ending, this one ain't it. If you're looking for one that will leave you with a changed perspective of everything, take the leap and watch it. I can guarantee that there will be something you like and remember forever.
