Customer Reviews of Wolf's Rain - Leader of the Pack (Vol. 1)
Beautiful and convoluted Wolf's Rain is one of the most beautful anime series released in recent times. Bones Studio (RahXephon) and musician/composer Yoko Kanno (Cowboy bebop, Arjuna) ensure that the show is visually and musically nothing less than stunning. The story on the other hand is a painfully slow epic spanning no less than 30 episodes. Other reviews probably provide a better synopsis of the 4 wolves' search for paradise in a bleak furure so I need not elaborate here. The story itself is interesting, filled with action and intrigue but the large cast and numerous sub-plots make the series a rather tedious watch. The series features no less than 4 recap episodes in the middle portion of the show to insure viewers knew what was happening. Overall I wouldn't recommend this series as it really strived to be more than what it was.
So Far So Good
Wolf's Rain is without a doubt one of the most beautifully animated series I have seen. It also features a great soundtrack, a given from Yoko Kanno. Be ready to think about this one though, as so far it has a complex storyline to it. You know the simple version by now: a place called Paradise will appear near the end, and only wolves can find this place. Thought to have been extinct over 200 years ago, wolves are actually all around people disguised themselves as humans. 4 wolves, Hige, Tsume, Kiba and Toboe are searching for this Paradise. That is the simple version, but the story is much more complex than that. Having only seen these first 5 episodes, I can't really explain the plot much further than that. But I can say that from these 5 episodes I like what I see so far and I will be buying the rest of the series.
I bought the version with the limited edition artbox. If you have seen the series and like it, I think you will like this version, as you get a sturdy artbox that will hold all of the volumes once they are released. The box is beautifully illustrated as well. Also you get the original soundtrack to the series which is also a great deal to be included with this set. The music only adds to the depth of the series and is as much a part of the series as the series itself. And lastly you get a plush Kiba, which doesn't really matter to me but I guess it is a cool bonus. Wolf's Rain is not something kids will understand, and it may bore others. It is not really fast-paced (at least so far) so it may not be up your alley. But if you are into anime that has a deeper meaning to it give Wolf's Rain a try. I can't say it is my favorite because it's not, but I liked it a lot and I can't wait to get further into the story when Vol.2 is released in August.
Stunning
This first DVD is a sure-fire hit. The animation, music, and quality of the characters is great. I have not liked an anime series this much since Neon Genesis Evangelion. Great series to invest in. The soundtrack that comes with the DVD in the LE box is excellent also. Great music and a great show recieves 5 stars from me.
