Wolf's Rain English Sub & Dub

About Wolf's Rain

If you are hunting for a new action series, Wolf's Rain (ウルフズレイン) deserves a look (2003). The setup goes like this. What the story covers: In some distant future, it's common knowledge that all wolves have been extinct for 200 years. However, it seems this is false as wolves have not disappeared but rather have taken human form.

Next up: Kiba, a lone wolf, wanders into a town, attempting to sniff out the Lunar Flowers that are supposed to lead whoever follows the scent to paradise. The source of the smell is Cheza, a girl who sleeps in what appears to be suspended animation in a lab. She and the wolves are drawn to each other, and Kiba hopes to find paradise once he comes across the source of the scent of Lunar Flowers.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Mamoru Miyano as Kiba and Kenta Miyake as Tsume. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 26 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with bones, which means the visual identity of Wolf's Rain follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. At 7.4/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. Voice casting, including Mamoru Miyano as Kiba, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2003, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
