    Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

    A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

    The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

    One of my favorite movies growing up was Balto, mostly because I liked wolves growing up. As I got older I was introduced to this anime, and decided I'd give it a shot and all I can really say is, definitely, worth my time. Wolf's Rain is a beautifully crafted story, telling of these wolves who are desperate to find Paradise. Along the way they have many adventures leading up to finding it, really grow as a pack and on a personal level, and really look at the torn world around them and really make you ask the question: does the dream really end once you reach your goal? I enjoyed watching every minute of it, the animation- I can't even describe it, I've never seen wolves more beautifully drawn until I watched this anime. The music, amazing. One moment it is relaxing with beautiful piano music and the next extremely gripping as you get to the more intense scenes. The thoughts of these wolves, their lessons on survival and what it means to have a family and a dream, everything about this anime makes it deserve to be one of the top ten in my book. I can't really complain about the anime at all aside from a small dip in the middle which was honestly kinda boring, buuut it comes back with a bigger bang so it kind of makes up for it.All in all, Wolf's Rain is one of Bones Must-Watch if you are an action/adventure anime fan.

    Wolf's Rain is just the best anime ever! There's no argument! It touches many different grounds and thus establishes itself as one of the most philosophical animes of all time. It urges us, the viewers, to ask ourselves the most fundamental questions, for example, why do we live? Throughout the anime, we witness how the main characters (Kiba, Hige, Tsume and Toboe) and even the supporting characters, grow up and change and experience different feelings which at the end of the series serve to illustrate how each and everyone of us interpret life and beyond that... One of the most important and interesting part of the story is obviously Episodes 19 and 20, where Kiba meets Myu in the Eternal Garden. Though it's an illusion, it shows the veritable feelings of Kiba towards his friends and Cheza and why he wants to find the "Rakuen". With a background of Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Wolf's Rain shows how Society is, with discrimination, Capitalism, aspirations and how human beings are, love, hatred, confusion, trust, loyalty and the animal instincts in all of us. Therefore, I can only conclude this review by stating once more, the most obvious fact, Wolf's Rain is the beat anime of all time!

    "Wolf's Rain" is one of the most beautiful and inspiring anime shows that I've ever saw. I'm not a big fan of anime, but I loved this show. The animation, the characters, the story, and the music (The great music made by Yokko Kanno, who also made the score for very good animated shows as "Cowboy Bebop" and "Escaflowne") all was perfect.The story, despite being somewhat strange, it is captivating and wonderful since the very first moment. "Wolf's Rain" it is one of those anime shows that you could see thousands of times, and always have the same magic and charm.And about the last episodes...I know that many reviewers disliked the ending, but, personally, I thought that it was a perfect ending for a show like this, the kind of ending that is sad and emotional, but fulfilling and hopeful at the same time."Wolf's Rain" is a great anime show, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

    Following the success of Cowboy Bebop and Rah-Xephon, BONES created this 30-part anime about four wolves on their search for Rakuen (Paradise) . . . And it's terrific! Both the Japanese and English cast is great, making the characters come alive, but the animation itself seems to be an homage to "old-school" animes like Lupin the 3rd and Case Closed.The soundtrack is great, as well. Yoko Kano (who also composed for Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) works her magic in this show, blending melodic tunes with enchanting lyrics and rock melodies with singers such as Steve Conte, Maaya Sakamoto, and Ilaria Graziano.The characters, although mostly that of the canine variety, are very believable and, at times, quite lovable. You can feel Quent's grief, Toboe's happiness, and Kiba's determination to find Rakuen (Paradise).As for the plot . . . either it takes place on a futuristic Earth or a different planet altogether (the creators don't really go in-depth about that). Anyways, a wolf wanders into Freeze City and eventually, over the course of the first three episodes, pairs-up with three other wolves to find Paradise.My only problem with it is the ending, where the creators took the easy way out and killed-off all of the characters, seemingly following in the steps of Cowboy Bebop (where they killed-off the main character, Spike).But I digress: Wolf's Rain contains one of, if not, the best storyline in anime history, and it has given me something that I could watch over-and-over-again. 10 out of 10.
