Oh yes!! Very very Ken. Even the title is drawing me in though. Is it in English?

Ok - editing here. I found a website called Watch Wolf's Rain that has all the episodes. http://watchwolfsrain.com/

Originally posted by Springie Has anyone ever seen this anime? I kinda got drawn into it by pictures I saw of Kiba- one of the main characters who reminds me a lot of Ken. It's very dark, but interesting...I've been watching a few eps on You Tube. Kiba: The other guys remind me of Joe, Jinpei and Ryu (in personality)...can you guess which ones are which?

I've heard of it, but never actually saw it. Yeah, he does sort of look like Ken.

On a wierd planet/plane of reality that is not Earth, wolves are sentient beings. They can cast an illusion that makes them look human (hence the collar on one of them). Kiba is seeking Paradise, and meets up with the others on the way.

Toboe is male. Yeah, I was confused, too.

A Noble named Darcia is also looking for Paradise, for reasons of his own. They aren't good ones.

Most humans believe wolves are extinct. The Nobles destroyed most of the wolves, leaving a few survivors.

The girl you see in Kiba's arms is Cheza, an artificial life-form made from moon-flowers. Once the wolves find her, they're determined to protect her and follow her to Paradise.

Another female character is Blue, a wolf-dog who discovers her own talent for illusion. Her owner hunts wolves because he thinks they killed his family.

Cher (sp?) is a scientist who gets sucked into all this through a confusing set of circumstances I can't remember.

Unlike some of the wilder anime, this has a proper conclusion. I can just imagine the epileptic trees you guys will come up with. (Check TVTropes.org for the definition of 'epileptic tree.')

I've seen it and Wow yeah there's a resemblance I didn't notice before.

Beautiful haunting atmosphere, though it's a little too dreary for my tastes. My sister loves it. The soundtrack is done by the amazing Yoko Kanno (most famous for her Cowboy Bebop soundtrack)

EDIT: I just remembered I sent a message to Crispin Freeman, the voice of Tsume (the tough Joe looking member of the group with white hair). He's a huge fan of Gatchaman. I was telling him how cool it would be if he could voice Ken (at the time we were talking possible English voiceovers for TvC and voicing superheroes) and said that even though he'd love to voice Ken, he's sure that his deep Baritone voice would make a casting director cast him as Joe instead.

Looks like and sounds like an interesting show, I might have to look it up sometime. When I can find the time to get away from reading all the new fics being written.

I watched the whole thing on You Tube...it's good, but the ending is very sad...

So glad you are enjoying it, Maddy!

And littlewolf, with a name like yours, I'm sure you will like it!
