Description:
There is an old legend that speaks of a hidden paradise on Earth - A paradise in which only wolves can find. And while thought to have been extinct for hundreds of years, wolves indeed still walk the Earth… hidden among mankind Now, a group of outcast wolves set out to find Paradise: Kiba, Hige, Toboe and Tsume. Each wolf is driven by their own personality and desires, but together they are pursued by humans seeking to quench their own thirst for power. A difficult and long journey lies ahead, with Paradise waiting to be found. The Bebop team returns with Animation by Studio BONES, Music by Yoko Kanno. Character designs by Toshihiro Kawamoto. Genre: Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi.

Although wolves are supposed to have died out more than 200 years earlier, a quartet of lycanthropes prowl the ruined world of this post-apocalyptic fantasy. The shape-shifters include Tsume, a cynical criminal; eager, naïve Toboe; perpetually hungry Hige; and charismatic Kiba, who's seeking 'Rakuen,' the prophesied wolf-paradise. Tied to his search are the Moon Flowers, and Cheza, a girl somehow created from those blossoms. But the wolf-boys aren't the only ones interested in the flower-girl. Scientist Cher Degré wants to continue studying Cheza in her laboratory, so she enlists the aid of detective Hubb. The fallen Noble Darcia and Lord Orkham and his minions are after Cheza, and she's somehow linked to Quent, a hunter bent on exterminating the wolf-humans.
The world of high-tech machinery and the world of curses, prophecies, alchemy and shape-shifters would seem to be at odds, yet the filmmakers manage to integrate the two in this often intriguing fantasy-adventure. The dark palate, angular designs, alienated characters, and dramatic camera angles will appeal to fans of Blood: the Last Vampire, and 'Rakuen,' the paradise Kiba seeks, remains a tantalizing promise. But the plot of Wolf's Rain is complicated with secondary stories and minor characters the filmmakers fail to develop in the first half of the series. Episodes #15-18 consist almost entirely of flashbacks with only an occasional new scene or line of dialogue, which make the story feel both padded and underdeveloped.

Rating:  - One of my all time favorites
Not much I can say that hasn't already been said about this masterpiece of an anime. Sure, people get confused by the fact this is only Part 1 of the Complete Collection, but I still loved this anime so much that I didn't mind having to buy both parts. If you don't want to pay list price for this box set (which is easily understandable for those who don't have a lot of money to spare), then you can find it at a lower price easily.
This is still a must have for any anime lover who is ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best
This anime has to be one of my all time faves!!! After reading most of the reviews for this show, I really can't say much more then that they have already, but I must say, getting this show was a must for me. Most people don't like the fact that it's in two parts, but to tell you the truth, it's cheeper in the long run getting the collection I and II. I looked up the price for the box set and it was $129.99 where the two collections added up for just over $70 (with Shipping and handling just over ... Read More

Rating: - Wolf's Rain Collection oneI put
I put off buying this one,becasue I kept hoping Cartoon Network would rerun it. They haven't. So I bought it so I could see it again. I didn't realize how much I had forgotten or hadn't notice it. There are so many characters it seems like every English voice actor I am used to hearing, had a part on this one.
A make shift pack of wolves follow the scent of the luna flower maiden to find paradise. The pack has no real leader, but Kiba's vision and desire to find paradise is so strong ... Read More
