C&C - Wolf's Rain - "City of Howls" [4/24]

[The Landstander]

A great piece of animation or an excuse for furries to make an anime? You decide.

(for the record, I've heard both...from several sources each)

[Lord Dalek]

Come on STRAY!...

[The_Dominion]

I don't think it has anything to do with furries. I hate the pure idea of furries, but I like Wolf's Rain a lot.

[Teek]

Bishounen Fest 2004 begins in 3, 2, 1...

[Duke]

Wee, I love the fact that it stars Johnny Young Bosch! :anime:

[Lord Dalek]

Wee, I love the fact that it stars Johnny Young Bosch! :anime:I could care less, watching my old fansub from last year.

[Duke]

I like the animation, especially the fact that the snow LOOKS 3D for once!

[The_Dominion]

And Stary! is noticeably absent.

[RD!]

Tsume is going to turn anyone who may just glace over to the screen away.


He also needs to be drawn with his pants not halfway down.

[Youko Recca]

So far the only tiny complaint is the freakin' bondage type clothing that one fool is wearing...

[silverwings]

Tsume/Freedman = hottie in leather = :D

Hmmm. I think I like this show. :anime:

[Lord Dalek]

Have they run the op yet?

[Duke]

Yeesh, what a way to die. Even heard the crunch.

[Behonkiss]

Lordy, that's one stupid-looking kid.

[HumanoidTyphoon]

Vash just said "what's wrong with killing." :anime:

[Spike Mcdougal]

Nice to hear the Seatbelts again

[Space Cadet]

Have they run the op yet?
No, they didn't.

[Youko Recca]

Yeah and those guys remind me of the idiots who mistook Spike for Vicous.

[Tech]

wow this anime is awesome. i might of found a new favorite anime... gotta wait a few more episodes (Fooly Cooly is now number 2, Inuyasha is now 3) sorry guys... ;p

[Lord Dalek]

No, they didn't.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *Listens to MP3, sobs*

[Behonkiss]

Nice song played in the part before the break.

[Teek]

It's good to see people are liking this show. Will be interesting once everyone sees the the final OAV's, if they're ever aired.

[Tapout]

Vash just said "what's wrong with killing." :anime:
Dammit. You beat me to it. :)

I haven't seen it unedited, but from what they did leave in, hopefully they won't pull a Blue Gender on it.

[The_Dominion]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *Listens to MP3, sobs*
The OP would have been the moment after Tsume saw that Noble ship, notice my earlier post.

[True Noir]

Can I say, that this anime is soooooooooooooo FREAKIN' AWESOME. What a great soundtrack. Tsume is so cool. I can't believe Quent just shot Kiba. Be back gotta watch more

[Lord Dalek]

It's good to see people are liking this show. Will be interesting once everyone sees the the final OAV's, if they're every aired. Don't see the problem with people not liking it really, four episodes of recap never hurt anyone.

[Roman Legion]

Bah, no OP... grr.

Amazingly, I'm exceedingly pleased with the dub so far... my only nit is Tsume being pronounced "Sue-May"...

--Romey

[Lord Dalek]

The OP would have been the moment after Tsume saw that Noble ship, notice my earlier post.That pisses me off. Stray's in english.

[Teek]

Man, so many familiar VA's in this series. Question about a VA in a future episode...

Have they announced who will be doing Blue's voice?

[Duke]

LOL. Gene & Tai in Wolf's Rain! AWESOME!

[Lord Dalek]

Man, so many familiar VA's in this series. Question about a VA in a future episode...

Have they announced who will be doing Blue's voice?I'd look up on ANN but they seem to be down...as usual *SIGH*.

[Rikou]

Bah, no OP... grr.

Amazingly, I'm exceedingly pleased with the dub so far... my only nit is Tsume being pronounced "Sue-May"...

--RomeyHow's it supposed to be?


Tsume's hot, blood is good, music is catchy and token naked floaty chick.

Wolf's Rain good.

[Spike Mcdougal]

Kaneda and Tetsuo

[The_Dominion]

NOoooooo Tsukasa!

[Lord Dalek]

How's it supposed to be?http://animeart.com/music/a/wolf/

As with every other video on that site it doesn't work for me anymore. Recca must have some special power.

EDIT: 3000th post. Yippee!

[Duke]

Tai doesn't look right without his goggles.

[Teek]

At least what got a truncated ED. Is a shame because both OP and ED are awesome.

[The_Dominion]

The ending is severely shortened, thereby destroying yet another great song, but at least it is an ending.

[silverwings]

Wow. Amazing first episode. I love the music. Tsume and Kiba are gorgeous (which doesn't hurt. :anime: )

Though, in terms of total bishie count, I don't think this beats Prince of Tennis. :sweat:

[Lord Dalek]

At least what got a truncated ED. Is a shame because both OP and ED are awesome.They keep Maya but trash Conte? My anger at Bandai has just increased.

[Youko Recca]

That was fantastic.Sorry, better than WHR but that's a good thing case it shows how great this was.Hope it can keep this up in the future.

[Killtacular]

I love things that prove AS is full of ****.

Neither the OP or the ED had to be removed/trunicated for time, but they did it anyway.

I'm glad that I know that the real reason is that they just hate openings. Being constantly weighed down by the possibility that it might be for time was getting too stressful. Thanks AS for doing your thing. That thing being lying.

[The Landstander]

Solid. I liked it. As mentioned, the music is good, and the plot seems interesting.

NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY. =(

[Rabi~en~Rose]

The ending is severely shortened, thereby destroying yet another great song, but a tleast it is an ending.

haven't we learned yet that WS hates japanese? :confused:


anyway.... :(
I was hoping for a more down to earth kind of series but no we got another weird futuristic one. poor Tsukasa died and the episode as a whole bored me http://members.aol.com/kimminakochan/chicken.gif

[Lord Dalek]

[Duke]

Hmm, I dunno what's more ironic/coincidental, both Hige & Tai look alike, or if Micheal Reiz voices Hige...(Micheal was also Matt on Digimon, who had Garurumon, a Wolf Digimon as his partner).

[RedBoot]

They keep Maya but trash Conte? My anger at Bandai has just increased.
It ain't Bandai's fault. Buy the DVD and Stray will be there.

[RD!]

Bah, no OP... grr.

Amazingly, I'm exceedingly pleased with the dub so far... my only nit is Tsume being pronounced "Sue-May"...

--Romey

If I remember... ...it was always Tsume...

Anyway, the dub kicks ass except for Hige's voice who... may take some getting used to. It is really sad not to see Gravity, as it's certainly one of Kano's best.

[Lord Dalek]

One question: Who plays Toboe?

[True Noir]

How's it supposed to be?


Tsume's hot, blood is good, music is catchy and token naked floaty chick.

Wolf's Rain good.
I have to agree with you there. Tsume and Kiba are extremely hott. I am really into Chiza. She looks cool. Too bad for the ending song, music rocks and they just had to make it short

[Rikou]

Hige looks like Spike with blonde hair.

... That is all.

[Duke]

One question: Who plays Toboe?
Mona Marshall, aka Izzy in Digimon, Motoko in Love Hina, and Shiela/Wendy in South Park from 2000 on.

I love imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0551065/).

[Delthayre]

My initial reaction is mixed. Some elements worked very well while others were either undwelming or outright faulty. The music was decent, but none of the songs grabbed me. I do like the backgrounds at least. I'm a little unhappy with the character designs as well. The loose editing standards were a welcome boon and the gruesome bits are suitably intense. The plot seems potentially interesting as well.

I was happy that the kid died. I never liked that kid.

I'm going to go with ßßß out of ßßßßß (I would use stars, but my English typing outlet is on the fritz, so I have to work with the German one).

I'm dissapointed by the truncation of Gravity, I like it a lot. But I am glad that they cut Stray, I could do without that Tarzan reject of a song hurled noxiously from the lips of Steve Conte introducing the show every week.

[MrBananagrabber]

I enjoyed this immensly. I saw the first episode fansubbed way back when, but I never got my hands on the series. I'll absolutely be tuning into this one. I really liked the dub, too.

Too bad I have to be patient and watch one ep a week...just like everyone in Japan =P

[Youko Recca]

haven't we learned yet that WS hates japanese? :confused:


anyway.... :(
I was hoping for a more down to earth kind of series but no we got another weird futuristic one. poor Tsukasa died and the episode as a whole bored me http://members.aol.com/kimminakochan/chicken.gif
Wait so this...bored you?

[Lord Dalek]

Mona Marshall, aka Izzy in Digimon, Motoko in Love Hina, and Shiela/Wendy in South Park from 2000 on.

I love imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0551065/).Gotcha on that Duke.

[Artimus Gigan]

AND YES I KNOW EVERY THING THAT HAPPENS AND I WILL SPOIL IT ALL!!!
MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!
well if you want me too...anyways...

This series has some really nice art to it, similar to how FLCL combines ordinary surroundings with fantastic/beyond belief characters. The Soundtrack is going to be released next month so you will be able to get the music. But I think it's going to have alotta "wha?" moments considering that the episodes are spaced a week apart...youdo need to go back and watch things because some subtle comments and actions do get lost...

oh and MM also voiced Kite in the .hack games

[G1Ravage]

One question: Who plays Toboe?Mona Marshall.

This show's got some voice cast.... Johnny Yong Bosch, Beau Billingslea, Crispin Freeman, Lia Sargent, Mona Marshall, Robert Wicks, Steven Blum....

And is anyone else getting tired of hearing Joshua Seth? ...I know *I* am.

[Beat]

Okay, the new policy seems to be "Original Openings and ending are teh suck."

The show now seems a bit emptier.

[Artimus Gigan]

Ya know I wish they included some of the linear notes of the backstory in the beginning


because from a beginner's perspective you really have no idea what the hell went wrong with the world...
I mean yeah 1st episode has some blood and fights but you really have no idea at all on what's going on...

or they could have atleast shown the second episodes along with the 1st...

[GMB]

I really want to like this show a lot more than I do.

Awful intro episode, with great animation and music, but no real character insight and little to no exposition so that people like me who are watching the show might have some teensy inkling of what's going on. I know some people were wolves that shifted to people and some people have guns but since no one bothered to explain much beyond that it made the show a little hard to get into.

Never mind it has that godawful "Witch Hunter Robin" pacing which made the first half go by so slow I thought the show was over aready until I looked at the clock.

I do NOT understand why modern animes are so sluggishly paced and squeeze out plot details like blood from a stone. . .and yet need 4 recap episodes.

So after all the hype and the buzz it got on this board, I was really disappointed and left kinda cold by the show, but in the interests of fairness I'll give it a couple more tries to hook me.

Tho had the first episode done it's job, I'd already be waiting for next week's.

A very disappointed C+ It looks good, it had fantastic music (especially "Gravity") but it hasn't given me any reason so far to tune in next week.

[Sheamon]

Ah, as good as I remember it to be, this time in english :p Great animation, Yoko Kanno music, an intriguing and mysterious storyline, what more could you ask for? Leaving in Stray and not chopping up Gravity *cries* But outside of that great first episode, happy to be watching this show again.

Dunno about who's voicing you know who, I can try to go back to the commercial and see if I recognize whose doing Cheza.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Wait so this...bored you?

boring....nothing special seen here. :( CN's anime acquistions this year so far are striking out with me :( http://members.aol.com/kimminakochan/chicken.gif

[RedBoot]

And is anyone else getting tired of hearing Joshua Seth? ...I know *I* am.
Nope. He's got more range than people give him credit for. Compare his performance as Hige with his Shobu from earlier today, there's quite a difference.

Mona Marshall also did Naota from FLCL, which is on right now.

[JetMaster5]

....it's pretty good I suppose. The plot was decent and interesting. Animation looks good. The music was alright, nothing great, nothing bad.

This whole episode beats out WHR in pacing. I like it.

[Killtacular]

Okay, the new policy seems to be "Original Openings and ending are teh suck."

The show now seems a bit emptier.
Not only that, but people programming their VCRs are inconvenienced, because FLCL ends up starting 2 minutes early.

It's ****ed up, but at least I know now never to believe another single word WS says ever. At least if it's from the comedy department.

Disrespectful, to say the least.

[KaidoYuji8Adam]

WOW


Just...WOW

This series so far is incredible to me. I will definitely be picking up the SE DVD's when they come out.

One RANT:
There was SOO much time to air the FULL ending, AND Opening, but they didn't.
So, InuYasha can air the WHOLE ending as well as FLCL, but everythin else gets shafted?
Endings are so wonderful, and artful..I cant stand WS editing them, and EVEN ON TOONAMI. Also, the next episode perviews need to be AFTER the ending.
GR....I REALLY hate that they are chopping the endings.
Even if it means cutting the opening..I want the full ending like on InuYasha, Outlaw Star, FLCL, and how Bebop used to be...is it so hard?
End rant.

So yeah, Wolf's Rain was incredible!!

[Killtacular]

There was SOO much time to air the FULL ending, AND Opening, but they didn't.
They had a full 2 minutes and 30 seconds to run the full ending and opening. But they'd rather we be inconvenienced just so that they don't have to listen to the songs.


GR....I REALLY hate that they are chopping the endings.
Even if it means cutting the opening..I want the full ending like on InuYasha, Outlaw Star, FLCL, and how Bebop used to be...is it so hard?
It is and will continue to be hard as long as they continue their intolerance.

[Artimus Gigan]

The first episode I think is really nothing incredible, granted the fight scenes are interesting, but those are only fights, there's no explaination till later episodes on what happened in the past and why they are hiding currently....

Oh and I bet openigns and endings are cut so the people will buy the DVDs...

[Killtacular]

Oh and I bet openigns and endings are cut so the people will buy the DVDs...
Pft. Bandai has no control over the production and WS doesn't make a cent off the DVDs.

The reason is just that they don't like long musical numbers. the end.

[True Noir]

Wow... so some of you guys actually think the show sucks ... already. Oh well. I thought the intro to the episode was good.

[Lord Dalek]

The first episode I think is really nothing incredible, granted the fight scenes are interesting, but those are only fights, there's no explaination till later episodes on what happened in the past and why they are hiding currently....

Oh and I bet openigns and endings are cut so the people will buy the DVDs...Or watch em at Adultswim.com, which this is all just a giant ploy for.

[Youko Recca]

Who think it sucks?

[Lord Dalek]

Who think it sucks?Not I said the Fly.

[Swordfish_II]

This show is great.

BONES=teh r0><0rs!!!!!111

:anime:

[Artimus Gigan]

Well first episode was loaded with action, but I'd rather have a story instead, show gets better in later episodes, but there is also massive ammounts of mind****. But there was a comparision of WR to Eco The Dolphin, considering that the director's point of view seemed to have taken one animal specie and put it frontforth as the key to everything...

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Who think it sucks?

me but like any series I will give it a 6/7 episode chance :) http://members.aol.com/kimminakochan/chicken.gif

[Youko Recca]

Not I said the Fly.
Wow took alot to figure out it was plural you Cat in the Hat imposture.

[Artimus Gigan]

Who think it sucks?
Not me either...there is one defining moment in the series I'm sure will be burned into the back of everyone's memory though...

What is it you ask?

When will it happen, you question?

The answer is...

well you want me to spoil you or not, i mean seriously y'all got so mad when I used them here black boxes ta tell y'll 'bout dem witches I felt kinda hurt 'ere

[Grenzer]

Wow... so some of you guys actually think the show sucks ... already. Oh well. I thought the intro to the episode was good.
You just can't please some people. Give them a banquet and they just pick at it and complain; and then walk away and later after the meal is over they moan about how hungary they are. Having saw the first three episodes subbed last year at a anime club last year I was eagerly awaiting how the dub would turn out and I was not disapointed. Everyone sounded fine except I was caught off guard that Tom Wyner was voicing Quent instead of Beau Billingslea; maybe Beau starts voicing the role next week.

Overall a B+/A-

[Youko Recca]

Artimis you spoil me and I'll make sure to return the favor.....:anime:

[Lord Dalek]

Wow took alot to figure out it was plural you Cat in the Hat imposture.What, you were hoping for me to break into "Sparrow" by Simon and Garfunkel?

[RD!]

Ya know I wish they included some of the linear notes of the backstory in the beginning


because from a beginner's perspective you really have no idea what the hell went wrong with the world...
I mean yeah 1st episode has some blood and fights but you really have no idea at all on what's going on...

Like... every first episode in anything?

[Artimus Gigan]

Artimis you spoil me and I'll make sure to return the favor.....:anime:Very well

Lunar Cheza is goping to lead the wolves to Rakuen(that be there paradise they be all yappin'bout) They will try to escape the city, but bounty hunters will be after them because the word is out that wolves roam the streets, they also have the ability to talk to other animals in the city that will assist them, eventualy they will escape in the forest, and that's where Episode 11 begins


enough or shall I go more?

[Rikou]

Artimus... get over it.

[Swordfish_II]

Damn you! Damn you are your boxes fortelling the future!

I must resist. I must resist.

[Artimus Gigan]

Like... every first episode in anything?
I was thinking like a brief introduction or somthing considering that for 26 weeks this is going to air, it would have been better to do some short intros explaining somethings instead of those dreaded 4 episodes in a row recap...

[MattThomasM2B]

Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!! Wash me in your sweet crimson!!! Oh yessssssssssssssssssssssssss, yessssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!

Needless to say, I liked it.

[Youko Recca]

And....the games begin.Since I only read the first three words of that spoiler and could follow where you were going with it...I now ask you Artimis.....what have ya.....eh....been waching lately?

[The_Dominion]

Very well

Lunar Cheza is goping to lead the wolves to Rakuen(that be there paradise they be all yappin'bout) They will try to escape the city, but bounty hunters will be after them because the word is out that wolves roam the streets, they also have the ability to talk to other animals in the city that will assist them, eventualy they will escape in the forest, and that's where Episode 11 begins


enough or shall I go more?Actually that isn't what happens at all.
[EDIT: Oh wait, that has to be sarcasm. Stupid me.]

Oh BTW one of the songs, the one right after the Tsume-Kiba fight, is here:
http://www.maayasakamoto.net/cds/wr-ost2.html
it is called Heaven's Not enough. However a few of the other songs in today's episode was not released on CD.

[Artimus Gigan]

I bet you all just liked the first episode for it's blood and gorgious gory sexy fights, bah neither of any of you cared about it's intelligence, it's symbolism, it's subtle hints at things to come, nay all ye wish for is gore...

and you wishes will be fufuilled, there is violence at every turn, I am pleased at the ammount of blood that WS left in, already the ride has begun and it event hasn't shifted into overkill yet, prehaps my expectations of the board's acceptance of the series was off, instead it was the opposite of what I expected, so I think I can celarly say that many of you will like,love,enjoy, the next episodes to the fullest...

This may be AS's next Bebop...

[RD!]

You need to... stop acting like you're some god because you've seen the series already...

[Youko Recca]

Is "goping" a word even? :anime:

[Artimus Gigan]

You need to... stop acting like you're some god because you've seen the series already...
I'm merely acting like it in joking, I'm not serious about it

[The Landstander]

You need to... stop acting like you're some god because you've seen the series already...Yeah...it does get kind of annoying.

[Youko Recca]

I thought we could all play along...and I was wrong.

[TnAdct1]

Two things:

1. I'm pretty sure someone else other than Mona Marshall voiced Naota in FLCL. (in response to another person).

2. Okay, did anyone else have Akira flashbacks during any of the scenes with Kiba and Joshua Seth's character?

[DarthNuriko]

I thought it was a good first episode. I don't like them cutting up/out music, but I've never had. Anyway, good. I'll tune in again next week.

[Botman]

I haven't seen it unedited, but from what they did leave in, hopefully they won't pull a Blue Gender on it.Speaking of Blue Gender...

I'm not too optimistic after seeing the first episode. I hope this doesn't turn into another "anti-human" anime, where all humans are the "bad guys", and the series ends with the wolves annihilating all of mankind, before they go to "Paradise".

Right now, I'm rooting for the "all wolves must be destroyed" sherrif guy... :evil:

[RedBoot]

Two things:

1. I'm pretty sure someone else other than Mona Marshall voiced Naota in FLCL. (in response to another person).
Bleh, you're right. I always seem to get Mona Marshall and Barbara Goodson mixed up.

[randomguy]

This may be AS's next Bebop...I doubt that. Whereas Bebop grabbed me with its stylish flair, snappy dialogue, and punchy action on the very first episode, I found Wolf's Rain rather bland and uninteresting. Besides, I'm not a big fan of being cryptic for cryptic's sake, so it'd be nice to have some sort of an explanation for what the setting is and what-not. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to know what's going on when I'm watching anime.

I find myself questioning CN's anime accquisition as well. I'm looking forward to Ghost In the Shell with the utmost anticipation, but outside of that, I've haven't liked an AS anime since Blue Gender... and I'm one of the very few people who enjoyed that show.

[Tapout]

Solid first episode.

I'll believe the kid's dead when I see his corpse spalttered on the pavement.

[Sandoz]

Nice animation, cool soundtrack, and good dub. This show has my attention. The pacing was a little slow for an episode with barely any exposition, but it's a decent buildup. Kiba and Co. seem like interesting characters, though I was surprised the human kid died.

[aesir]

Solid first episode.

I'll believe the kid's dead when I see his corpse spalttered on the pavement.
Oh hes quite dead. It'd suck if they made him a real character throughout the show.

[Keldran]

me but like any series I will give it a 6/7 episode chance :) http://members.aol.com/kimminakochan/chicken.gif

You have more tolerance than I do.


Personally I gave up on Wolf's Rain after the first few episodes on fansub, though I might give it another chance given how much easier it is to catch it on tv. I'm also curious whether they'll show the filler episodes and the OAV episodes, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

[ClockStomper]

I sorta liked it. I think maybe the science people can use the girl in the tank(!) ala "Minority Report" to find out when the Wolves "Wolf Out". Wolves v. People could make for some cool battles, yet I hope the series picks up a little. Gay Leather dude makes up for his crappy clothes by being a black Wolf. Coolness.

The CB comparrison is unfair since the writers and Watanabe are absent.

[Anime Guy]

Liked "City of Howls." Nice action scenes in the beginning with Kiba killing a couple of people. And the "what's wrong with killing?" line said by Johnny Young Bosch. Just like when Roger said he wasn't a bounty hunter on Big O.:D Great soundtrack in this show too. This episode ended in a kind of "to be continued" way, but at least it's something to keep people hooked.

[Hyper Shadow X]

I wonder who's the person that's inside that green bubble?

[Sheamon]

I wonder who's the person that's inside that green bubble? That's Cheza, you'll learn more about her later.



The CB comparrison is unfair since the writers and Watanabe are absent.
To my knowledge while Watanabe isn't involved, the writer is.

[kaine23]

Very intresting concept and series thus far!

[Duke]

I wasn't expecting a big plot relevation or anything in the first episode, I was expecting some of the main characters to be introduced and the basic way of life to be introduced. In that field, I wasn't disappointed.

I am really liking this series so far. One question though, we're not going to get the "32 gallons of blood per cut" schtick, are we?

[Eddie G.]

Holy crap, it's actually about wolves. I didn't know anything about the show going in, and was really suprised that it really was about wolves.

But anyway it was a good way to spend 1/2 hour, and although the story was a little shakey and the characters seemed more or less empty for now the animation was pretty nice to look at.

[CaptainRed]

I doubt that. Whereas Bebop grabbed me with its stylish flair, snappy dialogue, and punchy action on the very first episode, I found Wolf's Rain rather bland and uninteresting. Besides, I'm not a big fan of being cryptic for cryptic's sake, so it'd be nice to have some sort of an explanation for what the setting is and what-not. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to know what's going on when I'm watching anime.

I find myself questioning CN's anime accquisition as well. I'm looking forward to Ghost In the Shell with the utmost anticipation, but outside of that, I've haven't liked an AS anime since Blue Gender... and I'm one of the very few people who enjoyed that show.

I had sympathy for you up until I read that you are a fan of Blue Gender. My personal vendetta against that show dashed away my sympathy, and makes me immediately call you wrong, wrong, terribly terribly wrong in a very vitriolic manner. Good day to you sir! (throws scarf around neck, gets caught in revolving door)


I just placed that "noble's ship" sound! It's been driving me nuts!

It was the sound of the Gate Accident making things mighty unpleasant for the kid in Cowboy Bebop's "Sympathy for the Devil".

I feel better now. :¬)

Watching the beginning of the episode, I have the sudden urge to play one of the Final Fantasy games... maybe VII, I donno...

I liked the episode better the first time I watched it(rewatched). It's interesting, and I'll probably stick around. I donno... maybe I'm just tired. :¬}

I have my doubts as to the kid's fate as well... but at the least, I want some meaning given to the focus they gave him in this episode.(I didn't ask to be told, I'm happy to wait and see)

*honks hugs and whatever else*
Cappy "Red vs Blue Gender" Red

[Nabuca]

Glad to see that my favorite voice actor Johnny Bosch got another main character role. Its a good sign for Wolf's Rain if Bosch has the main role, Last Exile and Trigun are two of my favorite shows. Anyway I thought the first episode of WR was great, I have high expectations for this show.

[Deadly Messiah]

I am not sure what to think about it. I need to see more episodes. I like the dub, but man, I kept thinking of WHR's characters. It was nice not to have all the annoying commercials every 4 mins like I saw during DBGT and SEED. At least AS has stuck to the format that made CN superior to other stations.

[Youko Recca]

Man I really hope when Samurai Champloo get's here it is good enough to surpass Bebop....

[TsuiTsui]

I was surprisingly impressed with Wolf's Rain! The visuals were the first thing that caught my attention ... yes, Tsume and especially Kiba were really pretty to look at! :anime:

The music was also beautiful; another great Yoko Kanno work! I'm looking forward to this OST's release next month.

I was abit weirded out when I heard alot of familiar voice actors played the characters in this show, LOL :sweat: (Tsukasa's VA first came to my mind).

The storyline about wolves is a unique concept. This first episode got me hooked to watch the rest of the series!

[Tienshin]

If nothing the first episode was interesting, the basic concept of Wolf's Rain has some potential and certainly is unique in terms of what we have seen from AS series in the past. Episode 1 offered some nice action elements and judging from what we saw tonight, this series could be quite versatile in that department. I enjoyed the animation quality as well as the music, but as some have mentioned the characters went mostly undiscovered. Of course we did meet several people over the course of the episode, so I am not disappointed.

I'll be tuning in again.

[Sisto Kid]

Ah, fudgeabuncha haters... :p

Me, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. The comparisons to Bebop are a tad bit unfair (thought I blame AS for that tagline, "From the creators of..." which isn't entirely true. :rolleyes: ). I think it would be pretty hard to catch people off-guard with something like Bebop again, although IMO, FLCL came pretty dang close. ;) I also think the hammering people gave WHR was a little harsh as well, but I seem to be in the minority here. :shrug:

I give Wolf's Rain **** out of 5 stars. I'm intrigued enough to keep watching. Although, at the risk of repeating what a lot of other people on here are saying,...(Disclaimer-*Rant Alert*)

YO!!! AS!!! WTF DO YOU HAVE AGAINST OP'S AND ENDING CREDITS THAT YOU EITHER SPEED THEM UP LIKE A HAMSTER WITH AN AMPHETAMINE HABIT, OR ELIMINATE THEM ALTOGETHER??? WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM??? ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!!!! ANSWER ME!!! :mad: Ahem...sorry...end of rant. :sweat: :o

[SNS]

It was an okay episode. Glad to see that Johnny Young Bosch is voice acting in another anime, hopefully we will see him in more anime.


I also think the hammering people gave WHR was a little harsh as well, but I seem to be in the minority here. :shrug:I agree, people were too harsh with WHR.

[Artimus Gigan]

Ya know the one thing that bothered with the series was that when in human form they grab stuff with their hands, but actualy the wolf has it in it's mouth. They should have had each limb corispond with it's counterpart that's the only part I really find odd about it. I would have prefered if they morphed into wolves not just have an illusion set up...

because especialy in the 1st episode fight scene it sorta makes you wonder how he grabs his knife when actualy there is no knife at all, if he actualy fought likie a wolf in human form it would have made a bit more sense...

[Captain Harlock]

Kind of a lackluster first episode with the introduction of the characters. The characters seem like the typical cliche characters so far (with some subpar character designs), so one can only hope that the characterization becomes better. I'll watch next week, out of nothing better to watch and hope that it'll catch on to me. I know this is the first episode, but if I don't commit now, I won't commit later.

Alot of the pack still hasn't been introduced...

Ya know they really should have shown WR weeknights, 26 weeks isn't going to help it any...

But I'm especialy wondering how the fan reaction to the female wolves will be...

[Brent Long]

This didn't seem very good to me. The plotline sounded good online, and it was animated well enough. It just put me to sleep while watching it, and that guy with the silver hair looks like he was animated by Peter Chung, but all things aside I'll still watch.

[wrenchien]

the iron chef american made me miss this.


because trout decapitations and soup in urchin bowls owns so dam much, sirs.. so dam much.

[Schism]

Wolf's Rain is one of my favorite Anime. Having watched all 30 episodes (PLEASE skip the recap eps and air the OVA's, dammit...not to mention the OP and full ED), It's nice to re-watch the series from the beginning.

I agree. The WHR bashing was way too harsh. I LOVED the series...

I mean you can't please everyone, but come on.

On to WR now...

Yes, things get a lot more interesting as the series goes on.

Don't let the Bishounen factor draw you away from the series. There's a strong woman you'll love in both Cher and Blue.

There's a frail, determined woman in Cheza as well.

And, yes. There will be a villain you'd love to hate, much like Vicious.

It's a different cup of tea from Bebop, but damn. Is it ever a good cup of tea.

[Mynd Hed]

Meh. I saw this episode a while ago, and seeing it again on AS did nothing to change my opinion of it. The molasses pacing is an early strike against the show-- I don't know how they can actually manage to bore me with that much blood and violence, but somehow, they did it. The backgrounds and music are undeniably gorgeous, but the character designs are a mixed bag. There are some pretty good ones, but the pretty good ones tend toward the generic anime designs, and it seems like every character they tried to branch out and do something original with turned out horrible. The wolf designs are plenty cool, but it doesn't help my opinion of the show that they're plucked whole cloth, along with the non-anthropomorphic "they can talk but their lips don't move" dealie, from "Princess Mononoke".
The worst thing, though, was the incredibly stilted dialogue. None of the characters seemed even vaguely like real human beings. Not only didn't I care about them, I didn't find any of them even remotely believable.

I keep seeing anime lately that conform to this formula where the creators assume that an incredibly slow, convoluted-for-the-sake-of-convolution plot will seem deep if they slap a veneer of good animation and music over the top to cover its flaws, and that people will like or relate to characters who talk like philosophy students on Valium. Noir, Witch Hunter Robin, and now Wolf's Rain... all visually stunning, all uniformly boring. I'd rather watch a show with cheap, cut-corners animation, poor directing, and realistic characters that I actually sympathize with any day. Think I'll pop in my Berserk DVD today and do just that.

Now, keep in mind that this is just my opinion based on the first episode. I'd very much love to be proven wrong, but somehow I doubt that'll happen.


It's going to be atleast a few weeks until things really get going...
That's what they said about Witch Hunter Robin, and I never got over being bored by that show.

Overall Grade: C-

[Duke]

Noir, Witch Hunter Robin, and now Wolf's Rain... all visually stunning, all uniformly boring.

Hey, Noir had a 12-year-old slicing a guy's face open with a friggin ID card. How is that boring? :P

[Juu-kuchi]

Hey, Noir had a 12-year-old slicing a guy's face open with a friggin ID card. How is that boring? :P
Perhaps boring in the fact that her and Mireille are both heartless killers who we're suppose to 'empathize' or 'sympathize' with, and since they're so ruthless and so emotionless (despite 'emoting'), either we're bored or we hate them. Which is why I did not like the Bride so much in Kill Bill.

Anyway, I've seen this and the second episode of WR. Then I stopped and have not tried to watch it again. Guess nothing was exciting enough to have me warrant a look into it.

[True Noir]

[Code:whatup_doc]

Wasn the episode yesterday the first?:confused:

[True Noir]

Wasn the episode yesterday the first?:confused:
yes it was

[Delthayre]

I don't mind the sluggisness of the pacing at all, in fact I tend to enjoy slow pacing. My problem with Witch Hunter Robin was that it lingered and languished over a lot of stuff, very little of which was interesting. I find a little more promise and sensibility of pacing in Wolf's Rain, but I think it could fall into a similar trap. So I'm just going to wait and see how this series turns out. I even gave Witch Hunter Robin until it's thirteenth episode to impress me (it failed) before I stopped watching it. Wolf's Rain will get the same chance.

(And on an aside: I liked Noir a lot, although I probably could have down without most of the episodes between #1 and #8)

[Sanwich]

My goal is to actually keep up with a complete talkback thread series for once - we'll see if I make it. c_c

Anyway, I watched and re-watched this episode, and I've generally got a pretty good feeling about the series so far. A lot of stuff seemed rather puzzling at first, but I caught the jist of things, at least. There seems to be a real dichotomy here - you have the harsh, tangible, 'real' world... And then you've got this whole mythological spin, involving the wolves and their ability to disguise themselves, plus the whole search for paradise and the importance of moonlight and the 'flowers' and such.

At first, I assumed the wolves could actually physically transform themselves... Which isn't the case, apparently. It was really interesting how it all just seems to be an illusion they generate - but then there are a whole lot of inconsistancies and nitpicky things to look at... For example, the whole thing with their hands actually being their mouth. How could the one character be holding something and eating at the same time, then? And I also find it hard to believe nobody would notice a human with a wolf's shadow or wolf-prints, but that's just one of those things, I guess. And it's only the first episode, so. n_n;

Overall, I liked it - and I can't even fathom how people can accuse this of being 'slow'... There was action, multiple character introductions, and numerous questions raised. What, they expect a full plot resolution after half an hour? o_x

[Jaguar]

It was just fine. B-.

[Anime Freak]

I didn't find Witch Hunter Robin boring,but I can definetly see why people would dislike it,that is because of how most of the episode usually consists of them talking and goes by at a slow pace with bits of action and then usually lots more action at the end. I dont mind that all that much, but what i do mind is stuff like Serial Experiments Lain, Boogiepop Phantom, .hack//sign or even Texnolyze where all they do is just stand around and talk to each other about the mind and all this philosophy crap that bores the **** out of me. Thats what I dislike, series like WHR and WR dont seem to bother me.

The philosophy shiz in Evangelion actually wasn't that bad until the last 2 eps where i said , "wtf?". Same with Big O, until the ending of the last eppy where i said "wtf?". As long as a series has a reasonably amount of action then i'm fine with it and if your not then you should head on over to Toonami cuz thats where all the action filled eppys is.

***Note: This is only my opinion, in fact anything anyone says here about the series on CN or not are only their opinion and everyone has their own different opinion, hopefully most of you can get a grip on this fact.***

[Wounded_Dragon]

Meh. Average episode. Standard post-apocalyptic future with a twist. I had more fun trying to identify VAs than actually watching the episode. Still, somewhat interesting, with the violence and blood. Loses points for being rather vague about stuff, such as the wolf illusion (is it an illusion? it's not exactly clear in the first episode. Artimus, shush).

In its own way, as sluggish as WHR's first episode. Guess we'll see how it develops.

[Demon_Child]

I felt that it was pretty good.
I liked the animation, music, backgrounds and character designs. I like wolves so that was one of the things that drew me in. I thought that the dub was great but I always think of Mr. Seth as Tai and probably always will. The characters were a bit unbelievable but hopefully that will improve. Poor Tsukasa died :(
Over all *** out of **** It will have pretty bad to make me stop watching.

[Mysteryinfoman]

I also liked WHR but every person is different. I have seen WR but not all of it, like up to episode 12 or 11. It is pretty good and I heard the ending is like one big cliffhanger and CN better air those Ova episode's to at least help explain the end of the show, if it is one huge cliffhanger. Also those re-cap episodes, four damn, that's alot.

[randomguy]

Hey, I liked Noir too. Not high art, but the action was good and I enjoyed the La Femme Nikita vibe.


I'm always amazed at how jaded some folks can be... people will find fault in anything, I guess.
Yeah, that, or maybe it just wasn't that good. I'd understand you saying that if this was blow-me-away fantastic, but I found it mediocre. It's not Citizen Freaking Kane or anything.

I'll give it four or five weeks, though. I mean, I like to use my Saturday nights to do things, so I'm not gonna make an kind of extra commitment, but I'll watch it when I'm home. I try to give every anime a fair shake.

[Roman Legion]

Yeah, that, or maybe it just wasn't that good. I'd understand you saying that if this was blow-me-away fantastic, but I found it mediocre. It's not Citizen Freaking Kane or anything.

Well, there's certainly no lack of people who don't appreciate Citizen Kane, either. ;-)

What I don't understand, however, is what some people are expecting...

--Romey

[PickHut]

I enjoyed this, nice first episode. I thought that one kid would become a regular, so it really surprised me when he died:eek: . Also has nice looking animation, and the enviroments were interesting too. Hopefully the story will be just as good as I watch more episodes.

I give City of Howls an A-.

[Roman Legion]

If people don't like Darcia, when he apprears, I think I'll officially give up on these talkbacks. :p

And I'm predicting severe hatred toward Toboe, just because... (nothing against him, myself).

And it's only the first episode, so. n_n;I think the kid who Tsume tried to save just saw Tsume as a wolf. That's just a theory, though, as the wolves could all transform into humans, at least, it looked that way to me. Maybe wolves can see other wolves disguised as humans since they, themselves, are wolves. I dunno.

[Rikou]

And I'm predicting severe hatred toward Toboe, just because... (nothing against him, myself).
But he's adorable!

... Yeah, that's a good enough reason for most people to hate him.


I re-watched it this morning, and I still twitch and want to shout "Spike!" every time I see Hige. It's the hair and the little salute/wave thing his did with his hand.

Glad the kid with no front teeth bit the big one. Let's hope he really is dead.

Can we stop with the WHR/WR comparisons already?

[Blue Arc]

SO, what was editted out of the episode? Anybody know?

Anyway it was good, not what I hoped for but that wasn't a hinderance. May the blood flow on.

I ain't need no ****ing sig.

[jeffrey 228]

Sorry if my review was late and stuff, but regards of me taking a rest of this too much active place called ToonZone as of late I was not here, but I will say that after seeing this series, it seems mighty interesting on how it looks and stuff with this new anime, but it is as not as popular on my list as Witch Hunter Robin, but I do hope this series becoems a good one of me, but probbly not get the DVD likly.

And I say the first episode gets me C+.

[Artimus Gigan]

It will get better, but people are probably going to forget about the show on occasion because of it's timeslot...it's going to seem that the episodes are too short also....WR really needs to be seen one episodes after the other...or things won't make sense...especialy in the last episode


Also my opinion on the ending of the series:
it's really going to bug the hell outta, and make you crazy

[Youko Recca]

Why is eveybody happy that kid died?

[Artimus Gigan]

Why is eveybody happy that kid died?He had no front teeth

bad dental hygene=instant squish

[Delthayre]

Why is eveybody happy that kid died?
He was annoying and not an animate plush doll.

I could never hate a plush doll.

Unless it had a cell phone.

[tlsmith1963]

I don't mind if an anime series is slow-paced. I can like the slow ones, & I can like the fast-paced ones. I like Witch Hunter Robin, & I like Wolf's Rain. WR has the extra advantage of having Yoko Kanno's music. Her music is always so beautiful & interesting. I just wish they hadn't cut out "Stray".:mad:

I saw some of WR fansubbed, and I also predict that some people won't like Toboe. As for Darcia, I think people will find he is pretty interesting. Does anyone know who is doing Darcia's voice in the dub?

It's unfair to compare WR to Cowboy Bebop. They are very different series. I think a better comparison will be Bebop & Samurai Champloo. Like Bebop, Champloo seems like it will have lots of attitude, style, & great music. I'm looking forward to it.

Tammy

[Sora Takenouchi]

The show looks great so far. The animation's nice, the music's great, the boys are cute, and the plot is interesting. I'll make sure to tune in every week for this one.

And, sorry, but I wan't exactly crying when the kid died.:shrug:

[herbkir]

I'm another who's on the fence about Wolf's Rain. The first episode was okay but no jaw-dropping stunner. This just may be one of those anime that build slowly. The start wasn't bad but it did leave a lot unsaid. I'm going to keep watching to see how this one develops. (Slow pacing isn't really a bother; WHR was a decent anime, not one of AS' best, but enjoyable.)

As to the WR recap episodes, they might not seem so bad since we are watching this series on a weekly basis, not nightly. (^_*)

[Sheamon]

I saw some of WR fansubbed, and I also predict that some people won't like Toboe. As for Darcia, I think people will find he is pretty interesting. Does anyone know who is doing Darcia's voice in the dub?

Steve Blum, who we know as Spike in Bebop, Tom of Toonami, Roger in Big O, and tons of other roles is doing Darcia.

[Anime Guy]

Why is eveybody happy that kid died?I'm not. He didn't seem that annoying to me. He tried to kill Kiba and he was voiced by Tsukasa. Unfortunately, it's always the ones who look up to the cool guy that get killed.

[shogunthethird]

that has to be the most blood I've seen on an adult swim anime, and not freaky youkai blood either, I'm talking the normal red kind

[Youko Recca]

Now that I look back on it...maybe there is a possibility the kid survived.

[talibancity]

I don't like how they changed Tsume's name (pronounced 'suh-may' in JP) to 'sooh-may'. Small change, but ya know. Otherwise, it was very close to the original JP version.

[Mr. Pedro]

Though the blood and the doggie-poop jokes were a nice touch, I wasn't too enthralled by this show. Hopefully, things will heat up in the coming weeks. It will be then that I will decide if this is worth losing sleep over.

[True Noir]

Why is eveybody happy that kid died?
The kid was annoying. I can't believe they made a character out of him on the AS site that's why i think he's not dead. I did feel sorry for Tsume though when he tried to save him and failed to do so.

[Youko Recca]

What the heck made the kid annoying and what was his name even?

[Delthayre]

What the heck made the kid annoying and what was his name even?
Oh for the...

He was just ANNOYING! It's an emotional reaction. And if emotions were really explicable, there wouldn't be as many episodes of Star Trek!

[Sublime420]

I don't know why but the kid annoyed me too. He was just whiney and funny looking, is probably the reason.
Also he was really sort of out of place, that or he's the stereotypical kid who evokes forgotten emotions in a heartless beast, either way he's just annoying.

[True Noir]

What the heck made the kid annoying and what was his name even?
Geez ... Recca. Sorry for thinking he's annoying but he just is. I do have respect for the kid for trying to save Tsume.

[Youko Recca]

Don't worry...I don't give a damn about Doug(I named him) but I just wanted to dwell deeper and discover the truth behind the mistake.

[G1Ravage]

Nope. He's got more range than people give him credit for. Compare his performance as Hige with his Shobu from earlier today, there's quite a difference.

Mona Marshall also did Naota from FLCL, which is on right now.
Naota is voiced by Barbara Goodson.

[CaptainRed]

Is this a Wolf's Rain talkback, or a Witch Hunter Robin and OP/ED talkback?

Sheesh...

Gave the episode yet another watch, and am back to liking it. Not sure how well this show is going to work on a weekly basis... and not much else to say at this point.


***Note: This is only my opinion, in fact anything anyone says here about the series on CN or not are only their opinion and everyone has their own different opinion, hopefully most of you can get a grip on this fact.***

Pet peeve: if you've got something to say, do your statement a favor by not hampering it with disclaimers and pre-apologies. And please try to not talk down to the entire forum... individual posters are fine, just not the forum as a whole.

This is too much like Witch Hunter Robin, but with wolves. It doesn't help that the guy who plays Amon is a main character, as well as Haruto. Maybe they'll do something intereseting with it. We'll see. The animation is top notch.

[Mynd Hed]

HOw did you find Noir boring? The ruthless killing was always so sweet.
Hmm, maybe because two-thirds of every episode was either the blonde chick making another vague empty threat against the brunette chick, the brunette chick crying about how she can't feel emotions and how sad that makes her, or a flashback that we'd either seen half a dozen times before or was from two episodes ago?

But I digress, so back on topic, I watched my tape of WR Ep. 1 again since my girlfriend hadn't seen it, and I liked it a little better the second time. It might still go the WHR / Noir route, but it hasn't quite fallen into that pit yet, and it might get better. We'll see.

Gah late with this post. Way too lazy right now to read the whole thread since its 2 AM, will do it later.

It was pretty nice of them to get the same VA that did Tsukasa from Hack//Sign. LOL I got a kick out of hearing that voice and watching that kid clutch that staff. (http://home.hawaii.rr.com/wizardgrey/images/Wolfs%20Rain/1022.jpg) Pitty that little kid ended up dead.

Lets see other stuff I dug from this show:

Really nice vehicles, animation is real well done, most of the character designs are impressive, wow with the action and gore, as for the VA's.

Crispin Freeman is back with his bad ass type voice. Man still can't get use to it, especially after watching Chobits and Captain Tylor. Various other familar voices, the one that stood out for me was that guy with that scientist sounds a lot like Beck from Big O. Also the guy who rescues that wolf from that cage sounds like Shobu from Duel Masters. :D If this was already mentioned in this thread, sorry for repeating what was already posted.


Vash just said "what's wrong with killing." :anime:LOL that was funny! Gonna make a sound clip out of that tomorrow and link it here. :D

Not much else to say. I am looking forward to the next episode. Also I want to see more of that Wolf Hunter with the dog.

Here are some screen caps from the show. (http://home.hawaii.rr.com/wizardgrey/Wolfs%20Rain.htm) Odd I thought I took more shots than, that. Oh well.

I thought I saw Tony Oliver's name going by, so you probably have very good reason for thinking that scientist sounds a lot like Beck.

The university anime club here has been watching WR this year. I never quite got into it. It's a good show, I've definately seen worse, but it kind of takes its concept and doesn't go anywhere with it. It gets more interesting as it goes on, perhaps, but not more exciting.


I don't like how they changed Tsume's name (pronounced 'suh-may' in JP) to 'sooh-may'. Small change, but ya know. Otherwise, it was very close to the original JP version. I didn't notice. People in WHR putting the accent on the wrong syllable in Sakaki was worse.
