Great video. Almost as good as some of FX's top quality releases which actually have less episodes per DVD (i.e. FLCL, Inu Yasha). Really impressed in this department. Didn't really notice much in the way of pixelation.

Same as video. Great job on the transfer of this show... though, I wish I could say the same about the next category. This series has a great soundtrack by the goddess Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop, anyone?). This set is worth picking up for the audio alone, to be quite honest.

Unfortunately.. if you can't stand bad subtitles... don't pick up this set. I wish I could recommend it on the soundtrack, and beautiful animation alone... but I can't. I wish I'd have waited for a set that was based off the R1 releases forthcoming. Oh well.. live and learn. ;)

no pixelation or skipping and clear and sharp picture too.

Pretty good and opening n ending theme songs are great.

It's a great and interesting story and good packaging but one problem here as agreed with Peter that chapt. 15-18 which I thought it should be yes in one chapt as a whole but I just FF it . For fans of WR, you may want to check it out new chapt 27-30 ends is out now too! ;)

1rst, 2nd and 3rd DVD: 4/5: Pretty good VHS rip (except episode 17 who has a vertical line on the side of the screen). Pixellated and grainy on some fighting scene especially on the 1rst DVD where Tsume attacks a train and Kiba fighting Tsume's followers. Wolf's Rain is pretty recent (made in 2003) so the graphic are pretty good especially the designs of the building and the fight scene between wolves and human (pretty cool to see) Compared to the 1rst DVD, there are no preview on the 2nd and 3rd DVD

No problem detected, I don't know if it's a first in Japanese anime but both opening and ending song are in English only. Steve Conte sings the opening "Stray", one of my favorite song to date and Saaya Sakamoto sings "Gravity", the ending song. The opening Stray ROCKS big time

I thought that Wolf's Rain was quite good. Seeing Kiba, Tsume, Toboe and Hige metarmorphing (transforming) from wolves to human was a way cool idea for a storyline. I'm a sucker for these kind of anime. The only complaint I got in Wolf's Rain is that they put 4 recap episodes IN A ROW. That's right, Episode 15 to 18 are recap of the first 14 episodes. They could have made a recap of one episode only instead of 4, what a waste of episodes. The storyline was quite good, 4 wolves tries to find the promised land (a.k.a paradise) however, they don't know if it's really paradise or hell itself. Since they don't know where it is, they relies on Cheza, a little girl who's considered to be the "Daughter of the flowers" (her scent attracs the wolfes) to guide them. In their journey, many peoples tries to stop them to reach their goal especially the Jagara group who swore to eliminate every wolf that exist in Japan. They say that the wolves is a threat to mankind. Jagara are also looking for paradise but for their own purposes but in order to open the gate to paradise,they need Cheza to complete the ceremony. Many wolves failed to reach Paradise but Kiba, Toboe, Hige and Tsume are determines to reach the unreachable and the unseen. They protect Cheza with their life from the Jagara and everybody else because without her, they can't go to the promised land.Everybody thought that the wolves dissapeared for good about 200 years ago but a few of them are still lurking in the shadows to find a better way of life. The fighting sequence was awseome to see, wolves against humans, some of them were really bloody and we see clearly the wolf's fangs planted in a man's neck. Not pretty to see. Kiba fighting the balle android was probably the best fight sequence of the anime, especially when Kiba was running upward on the mountain to dodge the machine gun of the battle droid. The character's are pretty interesting to follow especially Cher, a scientist that was conducting research on Cheza. Her story is a little sad, the way she separated with Habu because she wanted to devoted her life thought research. She left him one day without telling no one of her wherebout. After Chize was kidnapped by Dalaxia, she saw wolves running throught the tundra. She doesn't her eyes at first so she follows them in order to find more about them and maybe try to find a new meaning to her life. Kiba, Toboe, Hige and Tsume character's are explained in the recap episode (Episode 15-18) but everybody had a interesting storyline to follow. The ending was great. I never saw it coming, NEVER. The last 2 episodes were truly unpredictable it's one was one best ending i've seen in a while. Just seeing it is worth buying Wolf's Rain Overall, Wolf's Rain was quite a interesting show but the weak subs kills most of the fun in watching it. I recommanded it BUT NOT THE MI VERSION,get the fansub version or wait for the R1 release of it. Give it a try, you might liked it. Extras: 1rst DVD - Textless opening and ending song 2nd and 3rd DVD - None Packaging: A flowery scene in the background. On the left side, a picture of a wolf. On the right from up to down: Kiba, Toboe, Hige, Tsume and Cheza. All 3 DVD's are DVD9

is a really good tv rip with a few little mistakes. not bad at all tough. it looks like the x tv from MI

stereo, but really good. didn't have any problems

no pixelation Perfect!

Voices were sharp and clear, Perfect!

I bought this since I've only seent eh first episodes and it caught my interest, the first 14 episodes are the best to my knowledge, after that there's you could say less action. I know for the last 4 episodes on DISC 2 those are merely resumes of what happaned so far in the story with each character's perspective on it. The story mainly is about 1 wolf, Kiba, who travels to find the so called Paradise but along the way he find 3 other wolves, which with one he doesn't like much in the beginning. Then they follow a lower of the Moon wihich happened to be a young human girl but was made with flowers. And all wolves will protect her at any cost sicne the people who create her want her back. Plus it's a time where humans think wolves are extinct for now 200 eyars. They have a certain gift to look like human to disguise themselves throughout the crowds and move easier. Amoung all Wolves Kiba remains the one where you see him fight more, then it's Tsume. As for Toboe, he's the one scared of everything at fiers but later on soemthing changes. This series if for those that like some adventure, with an intriguing plot, but be careful this isn't an all action series, actually you see not much action and the wolves in action, which kinda disappointed me sicne I thought I'd see the wolves much more than this. But it does have an intriguing plot all the way and how the characters get to actually like and care for each other.
