DVD Reviews of Wolf's Rain - Limited Complete Collection

DVD Review: good but unsure
Summary: 4 Stars

I was just confused i bouth this a while ago AAND I WAS JUST RAING THINGS AND i looked back at this and when i got this movie i got the whole series but i didnt get the colletctors box which im looking at it now and i thought thats what i ordered obviously im A little late with this but thats the only problem i have had with it it wasbrand new and works great

DVD Review: Great Purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am really happy with my Wolf's Rain purchase. It comes with all the episodes, a soundtrack, and the collector's case is really nifty. Overall, it's a real bargain!

DVD Review: For the Anime Obsessed ...
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this for my daughter's birthday at her request, and she was overjoyed. Video and audio quality are excellent and she's really into the story line. Anime is right up there with Harry Potter with her. Since she is writing her TOK (Theory of Knowledge) term paper for her senior high school IB Diploma addressing cultural aspects of anime, I can't complain. By the way, Amazon is selling the Wolf's Rain CD sound track separately, but be aware, that CD is included in this DVD package, though no mention of that is made in Amazon's description. I ordered the CD when I ordered the DVD set and had to return the CD (We didn't need 2 copies).

DVD Review: An epic adventure finally for adults
Summary: 5 Stars

Having first watched this series at a relatively young age, I must say that to fully understand this series you should watch it at 16+. Yes, it's a cartoon, but if you're not familiar with anime and want to buy this for your kids, look elsewhere. However if you're a mature anime fan, you've come to the right place.

This series blew me away. Everything from the smooth animation, realistic character development, and flawless score by Yoko Kanno just fit perfectly. The pacing is perfect; never too slow or too fast. You learn as the characters learn and you're never beaten over the head with plot points.

The character development is where this show really shines. The four wolves and Cheza; Detective Hubb and Cher; Quent and Blue; Darcia and Jagura; all the characters get ample screen time to tell their stories as you learn why they are the way they are. In other shows, you don't want to learn about the side characters because they're irrelevant/boring. Not here. All the characters are interesting in their own way and serve a purpose to the end. Their problems feel real, as does their pain.

Another aspect I love about this series is that it never delves into the typical comedy that's in so many other anime shows. I always hate watching something dramatic broken up by a pointless comic moment for no apparent reason, making it feel like an emotional rollercoaster *cough*Chrono Crusade*cough*. The drama is realistic, not over-the-top. Wolf's Rain never gets too wrapped up in itself which is the main reason the drama works so well.

At the end of this series I was heart-broken and emotionally drained. The entire series builds on itself, coming to a spectacular climax in the last 3 episodes. If you don't shed a single tear by the end, you must have no heart.

One tip for anyone watching: skip the four recap episodes in the middle of the series, right after the Fallen Keep episodes. The characters just talk through four episodes of already viewed scenes with no new info, so unless you just want to watch for the sake of watching, skip it. It breaks up the drama for too long and it's harder to get back into the meat of the story.

If you like epic stories that don't get bogged down in their own drama, you should check out Last Exile or Samurai 7.

DVD Review: Very deeply emotional
Summary: 5 Stars

Despite all the violance this anime is full of emotions, good and bad, which really touches the heart. You won't go away unchanged once you've seen this anime. Deserves 5 stars.
