Wolf's Rain (2003–2004)
10/10
The one that will certainly make you think
26 March 2012
You know, anime has made a huge step in past ten years, showing people more than films nowadays. This style of plotting reveals more secrets of our society and brings people the torrent of emotions. I was quite skeptical about this anime since it had no advertisement, it was not so popular and no one ever knew about it. Sort of mystery, I thought, until I realized form the first series that it was more than just a regular anime. It was a story revealing people how they are pitiful and pathetic. You know, post-apocalyptic story always makes you feel sad since your imagination brings you the dead world where people still live, and they live just to die in the end. When I read the plot at the back of DVD of Wolf's Rain I laughed at the logic of a story that "wolves are in a search of a Paradise". However, the first thought that was developed in my mind was "Why were they searching?" And the story tells about their adventures in this quest. You know, Paradise is closed for the souls of people when the day the world ends will come, but still, in theory, if there were some survivors, what would they live for? Death would not allow them to rest in peace at that moment, and there goes the loss of hope. Wolf's Rain is a "rainy" story that will eventually bring tears to your face. At least I had tears at the end of a story. That moment when you realize what the meaning of this anime was, what author was hoping to tell us - it certainly brings tears. In my opinion, this anime has the best OST that fits in every situation or scene in a story. It is the art of music that makes anime seem more emotional and full of joy. I strongly recommend you to watch this even if my review is not enough to convince you. You will understand everything when you'll try by yourself.
