Synopsis

Hana, a hard-working college student, falls in love with a mysterious man who attends one of her classes though he is not an actual student. As it turns out, he is not truly human either. On a full moon night, he transforms, revealing that he is the last werewolf alive. Despite this, Hana's love remains strong, and the two ultimately decide to start a family.

Hana gives birth to two healthy children—Ame, born during rainfall, and Yuki, born during snowfall—both possessing the ability to turn into wolves, a trait inherited from their father. All too soon, however, the sudden death of her lover devastates Hana's life, leaving her to raise a peculiar family completely on her own. The stress of raising her wild-natured children in a densely populated city, all while keeping their identity a secret, culminates in a decision to move to the countryside, where she hopes Ame and Yuki can live a life free from the judgments of society. Wolf Children is the heartwarming story about the challenges of being a single mother in an unforgiving modern world.

Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki translates to "Wolf Children Ame and Yuki" animated film directed by Hosoda Mamoru of Studio Chizu. I'll just start literally by saying "Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki" is amazing 10/10 and must be watched by all.

College girl drops out of school to have furry sex with real wolf and raise two wolf kids: the movie.

Positives:

When i finished it and going to give a rating,i was really looking for an option like outstandingly bad,which could have been a really heartwarming wholesome movie,turned into just a simply putting bad.
It shows how ungrateful your children can be,it shows how amazingly stupid you can be when you are in love and why it is so needed to control your urge in moments

Don't get me wrong,there's nothing wrong to fall in love within a second and make a mistake but in every decision that's just sad

But it made me think about the fact how quickly people forget about some people who work their asses ...
