Synopsis

In some distant future, it's common knowledge that all wolves have been extinct for 200 years. However, it seems this is false as wolves have not disappeared but rather have taken human form. Kiba, a lone wolf, wanders into a city, trying to sniff out the Lunar Flowers that are supposed to lead whoever follows the scent to paradise. The source of the smell is Cheza, a girl who sleeps in what appears to be suspended animation in a lab. She and the wolves are drawn to each other, and Kiba hopes to find paradise once he finds the source of the scent of Lunar Flowers. However, once Kiba finds Cheza, she is kidnapped by a mysterious person called Darcia, and his search begins anew. Before he leaves the city, he meets 3 other wolves, Tsume, Hige and Toboe. All four wolves have very different personalities and ideas, and their friendliness towards each other is a little rough around the edges. However, they soon band together to continue to search for paradise. (Source: ANN)

Recommendations

Both have very similar atmosphere of adventures.
reportRecommended by Gelos
The general atmosphere in these animes are very similar. There are minimal cute/funny elements, the general color of the series is black. However, the complex plot with sudden twists and climax makes these series beautiful works of art. (If my memory did not fail me, Wolf's Rain's plot was not as complex as that of Witch Hunter Robin and Ergo Proxy.)

The new millenium has brought us many new anime titles. Most of which seem to involve a sad story, a sad main character, and an overall sad feel. Wolf's Rain may indeed fall into that category, but there are unique differences that make this series more complex than that.

Take first, the main character Kiba. He has a goal and he'll do anything to reach it. But he has two distinct sides to his character. One is his proud, rash, and arrogant self that attacks anything that stands in... read more

Wolf's Rain is one of my most favourite anime series ever. Its *very* rare that I'd give an anime I’m reviewing a 10 for EVERYTHING, I always review fairly - even if I didn't enjoy the anime. For me, Wolf's Rain is a perfect anime. I love literally everything about it.
The story was created by Keiko Nobumoto (Screenwriter for Cowboy Bebop) and animated by studio BONES, well known throughout the anime world as the studio who brought us such popular shows as Eureka seveN, RahXephon, Scrapped... read more

Wolf's Rain is a Shounen, Action, Adventure anime with something different about it. It is based on a post apocalyptic Earth that is slowly dying out, yet the main focus is on a pack of Wolves on their journey to paradise.

The show has a very promising start as it kicks off with plenty fast paced action in the first couple episodes and it's not even an issue that a lot of things are unexplained, like why the wolves are able to disguise as humans. Of course a lot is slowing explain... read more
