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

This OVA honestly doesn't feel like an true OVA. There really is no difference to the animation or sound, and doesn't add much to the show besides more problems for the characters. The soundtrack is the same soundtrack they used in the show and there is no new characters introduced. Just another sub-plot that is cleverly told in a way that doesn't make it seem out of place.
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 developments is enough to make people watch.
Granted, this ending is better than what people got with episode 26, but it is still open-ended makes you feel that they didn't accomplish much. It gives the sense that Wolf's Rain is a never-ending series, though this is implied.
Anyway, if you love Wolf's Rain, you'll most likely love this OVA as well. There really is nothing to bad here unless you really hate endings that are not as solid as a concrete wall. read more

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!

Very similar and beutiful atmosphere, similar characters and of course, the fact that both contains wolves who can transform into humans.
