Wolf's Rain is one of my favorite series... it doesn't have the most memorable characters (they're actually quite stereotypical of anime characters), but the beautiful artwork/animation, and one of Yoko Kanno's best soundtracks makes the show itself extremely memorable.
The only downside is that the entire 4th volume of the series on DVD is a total write-off... I think due to budgetary concerns, they made four episodes that recap the first 3 disc's worth of episodes. The only reason it is worth watching is for the little insights that character narration brings to the flashbacks.
On the bright side, the OVA for the show brings it up to 30 episodes, meaning that you get a full series even without the 4 recap episodes.
PS - get your hands on the soundtracks if you value good music even remotely.
