Why this you say? Well, they are the continuation from the original series. These OVA's show the next 4 episodes in the series, and lets us discover if they really do reach paradise.
Better known as episodes 27-30. Make absolutely sure you watch this. Without it, the ending is incomplete!

Feb 23, 20084 of 4 episodes seen 18 of 21 people found this review helpful Better known as episodes 27-30, the Wolf's Rain OVAs are like the natural four last episodes of the series. If you've read my review of the 26 episodes of the anime, I had a few gripes. Combined with the OVA, on the other hand?
It becomes STUNNING!
Intense, emotional, and gripping, the OVAs are the climax of Wolf's Rain. This is where Nobumoto really shined... a good shounen series, but with a seinen-class masterpiece of an ending. The story is given proper closure and the ...action is at its flashiest, but the characters are beyond what I can describe. It brings them alive and pulls you in, and I found myself near tears for people I hadn't even cared about before.
Make sure you set aside time to really watch this. Prior to watching this, I thought Wolf's Rain was overhyped. That notion has now disappeared. read more

Jul 16, 20084 of 4 episodes seen 11 of 14 people found this review helpful Honestly, I wasn't aware that the last four episodes of Wolf's Rain were really an OVA. (The DVDs I bought had all 30 episodes so I just naturally thought that there was just 30 of 'em). There really is no difference to the animation or sound, but it is still very enjoyable to watch; almost more so than the rest of the series.
In order to "finish" the series in just four more episodes, the pace is fast and to the point. The constant attention to detail and new developmen...ts kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. And what a shocker the end was.
Without any spoilers I'll just say that this ending is much more satisfying than what happened in episode 26, but for some reason many people still don't like the open-endedness. I thought it was the only way the series could've ended and it was done beautifully. I even cried during some scenes (oh Toboe...).
Anyway, if you love Wolf's Rain, you'll love this OVA (odds are you saw it anyway without even noticing). There really is nothing to hate here unless you really hate endings that are not as solid as a concrete wall. But really, Wolf's Rain isn't about the ending. It's about the journey along the way. read more

Feb 15, 20084 of 4 episodes seen 10 of 14 people found this review helpful This is a sequal to the series: Wolf's Rain. So this picks up after the end of that one. In a nutshell, usually people would refer to Wolf's Rain OVA with an "Eww, that totally killed the series." If that's all you've been hearing, then you should perhaps give it a chance. It isn't totally evil and bad.
The story itself was a little dull, and the ending... That was a bit obvious after a little bit. The Entire story isn't very sound, or very continuous.
The... Art, it was decent. With a bunch of blood splattering everywhere... It was decent. The colors were well done, and the landscape was nice too. It doesn't get a nine because, the battle scenes were a bit more head one warrior type instead of Ninja back stab and jump away. There wasn't too much action, expecially when it wanted to get things done. I felt they kind of rushed things.
The sound. It was good. Not perfect. I didn't get a rush because of the sound. But the music did give to the entire storyline and add effect to it.
Characters. Perhaps one of the better qualities of this anime, and this ending OVA of the series. Character begins to show, and each one takes a different spin on life. There was much character building, and character creation, without all the flashbacks.
I did enjoy it. Perhaps more than the series. It did touch my heart and I was tearing at the end of it.
Overall an 8. It had characteristics of a good OVA section. It showed some of them, but the ending was the worst bit. read more
