The scent of Lunar Flowers and the will to find Paradise is all he has. Along the way, he runs into other outcast wolves - Tsume, Hige, and Toboe, each with their own story and troubles. Fate bringing them together, they seek out the Flower Maiden, Cheza, and their way to Paradise. But, doing so is no simple matter. Up against a world that fears them and a man with mysterious abilities, their journey is overrun with challenges and worse - sacrifices.

English So. I'll start with the music: I already have the OST (both of them) and I'm listening to it because the soundtrack for Wolf's Rain is just great, it's like the music itself can tell this story, it's totally in line with the anime. What can I say about the story? I wasn't bored. Rooting for them. She believed they would find paradise. I believed in a lot of petty things at the beginning, which I dismissed near the end because I started to realize that gloom, grey, and death were simply unavoidable. Not everyone is meant to go to paradise. There were scenes in the last four episodes or so that brought me to tears. It's sad. What can you do. And given the ending, I don't know why, but I kind of subconsciously knew where it was all going, so I'm unsurprised but satisfied. It was a strange introduction, but I'm glad it happened. I'd happily do it again, even though I know tears will roll down my cheeks again. ()
