I did ; I think if you feel any sort of attachment to the characters to be fair, give them a few episodes to grow on you then you have a chance of liking this just because you'll want to know what happens to them all in the end. There is definitely some character growth here. The relationships that develop and change between them all are an important focus of Wolf's Rain so give it a higher priority if that interests you.
Also add points if you love tragic and atmospheric stuff. And flowers, or the moon. To all of you who recommended Wolf's rein to me: Thank you :D I watched it and really liked it, music was great as you said, and I think if I didn't hear your advice I would miss on a great anime,despite an confusing relation between OVAs and the show, but I watched both so I got the picture right :D I especially liked depiction of characters Tsume an Darcia.
So thx again. Wolf's Rain is the best anime ever. I know you already watched it, but I just had to say this. Signature removed.

Criticman12 29 March But back when Adult Swim use to show a lot of anime, there was, "Wolf's Rain".
A Post-Apocalyptic tale about a group of Wolves trying to search for a place called, Paradise. What make's this show really great is the animation, the story, and the character's. The soundtrack was also great. From the opening song, Stray, to the ending credits song, Gravity. The music capture's the dark and moody setting of the show.
I do have one small problem with this show. It's the four recap episode's. They were really boring. Overall, "Wolf's Rain", is a sad and amazing anime show that is definitely worth watching if you're an anime fan or a Wolf lover.
Thanks to it's charming characters Wolf's Rain can keep one involved enough to make it trough the interesting but badly told story, that just never wants to get started leaving you on the edge of your seat in a bad way all along the series.
On the other hand Wolf's Rain rather frequently lets you down, probably topped by the 4 - I repeat, four - unforgivable flashback filler episodes that you might just as well skip right in the middle of the whole thing, at the one and only point, where it really looks like things could finally lift off.
The artistic concept is okay, but the animation is minimum effort, to the point where everything looks just like a colored manga. I espetially found the drawing time saving repeating shots obtrusive.
All together, despite it's likable characters and the interesting story, as much as I tried to like it, Wolf's Rain simply drags ass and as it never really reaches any climax, I'd say, it's rather a waste of time than anything else. We've all seen better than that. Let's help them find paradise This is one of the single most important anime series ever, it single-handedly helped revive the fan side of the industry and created a digi-sub boom.
That is why I love this show. I had waited for this show for ages when I first heard about it, when I finally saw it I was amazed. Atmosphere is the body of the show. There is far more to praise in this show than a great number of what was on at the time of its premier in Japan, but this along with Witch Hunter Robin and Gundam Seed represent the kind of quality that the current industry is capable of.
Enough Praise Yes there is a lot going for it, plot, character designs, music, atmosphere, character development, but it has one downside, much like the afore mentioned Witch Hunter Robin, it is essentially an Evangelion clone. This is not evident until the end of the show, and it does not hamper the quality of the show, but it does promote a trend.
The ending, unlike Evangelion, is happy, and is the most amazing ending one could possibly ever wish for out of this show, but it is a bit cryptic, but satisfying nonetheless.
Wolf's Rain is gold, the kind of gold that we get today. Hopefully we get more like it in the upcoming years. A fine show smirre44 21 March Just finished watching episode which were delayed and only released on DVD for some reason, I think a conflict with the network airing in Japan. The original 26 episodes aired on TV though. The ending reminded me of the RahXephon one, and probably not without coincidence, since Bones the studio making the anime did both series.
It is a sad and dark tale about a pack of wolves trying to survive in a hostile world, on their way to a place they call "Paradise" which apparently is a better place than their present. Recommended if you like serious, melancholic and a bit thought-provoking series.
I've just viewing finished Wolf's Rain. In the following personal reaction, I will try to avoid giving away too much and will speak in generalities, but it might still be better to see the series first if you want to avoid any possible spoilers.
One study of this anime series by Susan J. Napier tends to focus on a nihilistic approach. She sees this anime as dramatising a fruitless attempt to engage with a complex and essentially meaningless world through the form of a fairy tale. She notes that the heroism shown is principally developed through masculinity and thus represents only a partial answer which must ultimately fail.
Yet she doesn't show that the incorporation of a feminine anime principle would change anything. Despite the brilliance of Napier's analysis, I don't agree with her at all.
I think she minimises or ignores the final vital sequence at the very end of the final episode. The fairy tale has at its core Tolkien's concept of the "eucatastrophe" i.
In Wolf's Rain this concept is developed through the quest for Paradise which can be defined as cyclic regeneration, a sweeping away of the dross and debris of failed attempts to control Nature and the acceptance of a rebirth. To me the end of the series was a deep affirmation of growth, cleansing, and the certainty that "Though lovers be lost, Love is not". Thus, I feel that the final message which Napier feels is negative is in reality positive and proof that a new beginning is possible; Life and Love and Beauty will always spring from the sacrifices of those who have faith in those qualities.
The search for Paradise is, therefore, a great quest across the wheel of Time and Life; each successive search brings the goal closer. Wolf's Rain is a sensitive yet dynamic attempt to engage with spirituality which I think rivals that of Ghost in the Shell. The sensitive use of colour with its dark and sombre hues reinforces the very serious message of this remarkable anime. In addition there is an evocative and beautiful soundtrack combined with an excellent English Dub.
I would highly recommend this wonderful series. One last point. The plot diverges significantly in some respects from the excellent Manga which is quite a bit more upbeat! Raxing 20 February The opening theme is perfect for this premise as it conveys the tone of the show. The characters are all unique and like able, but the premise of the show is what makes people want to watch. We want to know and we hope that they find paradise in the end.
The characters drop everything in search for an ideal and continue to push on even when hardship falls on them. The wolves are inspiring and the show has a romantic tone that appeals to me personally and obviously to many others. The reason I did not give this a show a ten is the story is kind of convoluted at times, has four filler recap episodes, and I didn't like a certain character that they meet later in the series.
I have a love-hate relationship with this anime, but mostly love. It is kind of frustrating to want to see the ending so bad but be continuously denied it as the show presses on. This could be a flaw in pacing or could have just been intentional. 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. So no worries there. 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. Details Edit. Release date January 6, Japan. Bones Animation Japan. Japanese English. Chicago Illinois, USA. Technical specs Edit. It's in my top five and I own it on DVD, so of course! It's great. Will-O'-The-Wisp Cardcaptor. This is one of the few anime series which has a better Dub. Problem with the japanese version is everyone sounds the same.
It also gets much better as it progresses, though the begining episode was awesome. Definatly worthy! Wolfs rain dub is pretty good, although I havn't listened to the sub version. Looks like its gotta be the dub. Went out today, so no Ergo Proxy for me today, and tommoro I got someone coming over. Its also exam week So it looks like we all agree the dub is the way to go!
