Wolf's Rain

Plot (From ANN):
In some distant future, it's common knowledge that all wolves have been extinct for 200 years. However, it seems this is false as wolves have not disappeared but rather have taken human form. Kiba, a lone wolf, wanders into a city, trying to sniff out the Lunar Flowers that are supposed to lead whoever follows the scent to paradise. The source of the smell is Cheza, a girl who sleeps in what appears to be suspended animation in a lab. She and the wolves are drawn to each other, and Kiba hopes to find paradise once he finds the source of the scent of Lunar Flowers. However, once Kiba finds Cheza, she is kidnapped by a mysterious person called Darcia, and his search begins anew. Before he leaves the city, he meets 3 other wolves, Tsume, Hige and Toboe. All four wolves have very different personalities and ideas, and their friendliness towards each other is a little rough around the edges. However, they soon band together to continue to search for paradise.

My Thoughts:
Ok...I have no idea how to start...well...this is definitely a very unique anime series. Another one of those that do not have a lot of fight scenes and when they do show them it starts of as they are human then turn to wolves. This is definitely not like a werewolf type of series, they are wolves. The idea of it to be honest was great. My only gripe is towards the middle it kinda got boring to the point of you wanting to just stop watching. My curious side though made me keep on watching and towards the end it started to definitely pick up again.

The animation was ok. Nothing special but definitely gave you a lot of pretty backgrounds and scenery. I honestly liked the subbed version more than the dubbed. The voice acting in english just was not good. I loved the opening and ending song. They were quite unique in their own way.

Overall I give this a 3 out of 5. Definitely watch on a lazy Sunday. I do have to warn you that this series is just not for everyone because it focuses more on the story than the love, comedy and action elements. Well, honestly I don't think there was any comedy in it.

By the way, I did watch this twice just because....LOL.
