Both shows begin in a post-apocalyptic world. Both shows' characters are on a journey to a destination which they know nothing about. Both are relatively dark shows, but do not shy away from humor occasionally. Both have action in them, but only when necessary, and the action isn't overdone. Both have fantastic endings that leave you thinking.
Wolf's Rain and Witch Hunter Robin are both excellent series in which the story is presented in a dark setting. Characters are both developed and added slowly as you progress through the series. Each contain extensive action scenes and awesome music to go along with it.

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.
Also made by Studio Bones. Has a similar concept of social outcasts (Contractors/Wolves) of whose existence the general public is unaware, posing as humans and trying to survive any way they can.
I'd reccomend those who enjoyed the fantasy and animal aspects of Wolf's Rain try on Ginga Densetsu Weed for size. They both use animals as main characters, and they both have one of those scripts that can take you from a laugh, to bawling on the floor and back again in the blink of an eye. Although Ginga is bloody and violent, at times it does seem more oreinted towards a younger audience than Wolf's Rain is, but overall they're very similar.
The stoty is really different, but the feeling is colse, exspecially the ending gives the same moral. The the song writer is the same, and it gives the sipirt to the show.

Well, in One Piece, Luffy and his nakama look for One Piece and in Wolf's Rain Kiba and his nakama look for Paradise. Both one piece and paradise are like legends but the main characters believe the legends and look for it. In both anime you can see the bond between comrades and how deep it is. Both contains a lot of good fighting scenes. In both animes, the main characters are not normal, one is about pirates and one is about wolf. Of course one piece is much lighter than wolf's rain but if you like either one, you'll like the other for sure!
Similar atmosphere of dying world and hopelessness. They both are dark and sad seinens.
Both series present a similar quest carried out by beings similar yet different from human beings. In both cases, they are hunted and repressed by humans who fear the greater power of their race. Toward the Terra takes place in space, in a more technological setting than Wolf's Rain, but they both develop a similar idea in an engaging way and with interesting characters. The endings are also worth getting there.
Both animes are set in the dark and wintry northern territories, and they share a simular style of animation. But there's a wide difference... Wolf's Rain is a masterpiece, and First Squad is quite mediocre.
Both have very dark themes, and an overall quest for redemption.
Both series present themselves with adventures, but each journey also becomes a way to explore the psychologies of the protagonists. Wolf's Rain's ending has quite a different feel from Last Exile's, but in the end, the morals are very alike.
Both deal with apocaliptic themes and have tragic stories.
In Vk there´s vampires while in Wolf´s rain there´s werewolves. Seiyuu Mamoru Miyano is in both animes in a main role. Both share a dark interesting plot.
Really similar atmospheres of drama and mystery, and of course, the fact that both revolve around wolves in human form.

These two anime are nothing a like. But I thought I'd recommend it anyways for my own personal reasons. In my own opinion Saikano is the most saddest and most drama filled anime i've ever saw. I most defiantly recommend this anime to the drama lovers. I swear I never cried so much with any anime like I did with this one. I loved it. One of my favorites. Anyways, same really goes with Wolf's rain. It's sad but an amazing anime.
I had the same feeling while watching Jyu oh sei even though they have different plots. Thor is just like Kiba. Wolf's Rain is much better though.

Good draw, funny, there is much action.
When finishing up The Hakkenden I noticed some similar themes to the ever-popular Wolf's Rain.
One major similarity is that they both deal with dogs or wolves on a quest to fulfill their destiny. Where Wolf's Rain features wolves disguised as humans, Hakkenden features half-dog/half-human warriors. In Hakkenden the goal of the warriors is to break the curse on their family and put an end to the evil Aboshi, who can be compared to Lord Darcia in Wolf's Rain. Similarly, Cheza from WR can be compared to Hamaji/Fuse in Hakkenden. An interesting feature of both is that they each have the following line somewhere in the anime: "Who are you creating paradise for?" (paraphrased) They may not be entirely similar and their themes may not adhere to the tastes of all anime watchers, but if you look carefully enough you will see some striking similarities. Both are pretty good, but I would say Wolf's Rain is by far much better than Hakkenden, though longer.
Drama. This is the word that connects those two animes.
The story in Romeo x Juliet is more romantic than that in Wolf's Rain, but the main idea is the same- the prise you have to pay for your freedom or for the happines of your loved one.
Both of the stories are very touching and deep, have awesome animation and music and I hightly recommend them.
Both Wolf's Rain and Princess Mononoke have a lot to do with animals, the enviroment, and both take place in a slightly post-apocolyptic setting.
