Wolf's Rain - The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

This is a must have for ANY anime fan. I remember when this show was airing on TV(adult swim in US). I was super young, but I was already watching anime by that time. I used to stay up late on school nights without telling my parents, just so I could record the new episodes on VHS. And one of my clearest memories was of episode 29, because I had chosen NOT to record that one and instead just watch it in bed. I cried my little heart out(Toboe </3) and regretted not recording that episode for years. Until eventually I bought all of the separate volumes to make up for the fact that I didn't finish recording it. And now, I have the better Blu-Ray high quality version of it, and it is just stunning. This is such an underrated anime, and I recommend it to everyone that asks. Whether they choose to watch it is up to them. However, all of the people that have watched it, have loved it as well. Wolf's Rain was one of the first shows that started my love for anime and I would never give it up. It is also one of the VERY FEW anime I watch and enjoy in English dubbed. Ugh, I can't gosh about this enough to get more people into it! I love it so much it hurts! Anyways, I'll stop my rambling of this amazing anime by saying that this series is definitely worth the price and I recommend it to anyone who is willing to give it a try.

This is a review both of the anime itself as well as the Blu-Ray edition of this series. As a massive fan of wolves and a decently big fan of anime, this series is easily my favorite. I thoroughly enjoyed the series as a whole and it is still my favorite animated series to date. The series is definitely worth watching if your interest is in more serious anime that has subtle depth to it’s story telling. If your interest is in more comedic or modern anime such as The Devil Is A Part-Timer or Sword Art Online, than this may not be the series for you. As for the Blu-Ray edition of this series, I would not necessarily say it is worth the $30+ upgrade from DVD if you already own it. Being a fan of Wolf’s Rain, I am completely ecstatic with my purchase and appreciate the slightly clearer quality and difference in Menu setup on Blu-Ray from DVD. However, if you are satisfied with your current DVD copy, than this purchase is hard to justify unless you are as large a fan as I. To summarize: A great series and very pleased with my purchase!

I am a fan of FMA: Brotherhood. Altogether, I am not a giant anime fan, but I enjoy the quality product that lays within anime. Wolf's Rain has stuck with me most of all the anime I have seen. I do not want to give major plot details, but the characters are great and balance each other. The story/plot is fantastic. The most important part is that there is cost within the story - this is not fancy fluff - the stakes are high. Originally upon watching the DVD version, I also bought the soundtrack. The music itself could be a whole nother review. I lent my old copy to a friend right before a falling out years ago, so I was wonderfully delighted to see this being released on bluray. Do not get me wrong, this series is worth the hefty price of the old version prior to this release, but if you have a budget, realism in cost is a valid concern. If you are a fan of good anime storyteling, do yourself a favor and pick this up at the price.

Amazing anime lots of character development

This is a pretty good show very happy I was able to get it on disc.

I remember first watching this anime when it originally aired on Adult Swim. It was the first anime I had ever seen and I was so in love with it. Even though I always mentioned this anime when talking to others about the animes I liked, I never once thought about checking Amazon for the series until around Christmas when one of my friends mentioned owning it. I checked Amazon, and saw this box set. I ordered it, hoping all the DVDs/Blurays were there, and that it was good quality. I started watching it as soon as I got it in the mail and it's just as magical now as it was then. The box covering was in pristine condition, as was the plastic case. The DVDs and Blurays are fine, no scratches or finger prints (which there shouldn't be because the plastic case was wrapped in the standard plastic). And the video itself is great quality.

I love Wolf's Rain and have ever since it first came out. Watching the blu ray release has been a nice update with the colors looking sharper than ever, more vibrant, and the music (done by the incomparable Yoko Kanno!) is just as vibrant and effective as it ever was overlayed with the beautiful imagery and story. That said, there are 4 FULL episodes of recap in the middle of the series that are still here. I kind of wish that the blu ray release had addressed this better by putting them on their own disc, as a sort of view it at your own risk option. But that is the silliest of gripes and the only one I have for this release. But it's a perfect release. Pick it up!

This anime was full of beautiful art work And attention to detail. The story line was super interesting and unique. It even got my feelings twisting around at how emotional it was. The ending was a shock too, so be prepared for that. I also like the cover art and it came it great condition. I would recommend to any anime fan to watch it, you will have no regrets.

De acuerdo a las reseñas de otros usuarios por un momento creí que no incluiría lo subtítulos, pero afortunadamente si vienen. Lo malo es que no puedes configurar el audio y los subtítulo como tu deseas, no hay opción para habilitar o deshabilitar los subtítulos, estos aparecen únicamente si tienes el audio en japonés y se deshabilitan con el audio en inglés, por suerte puedo disfrutar de este bello anime con la configuración que buscaba, audio japonés con subtítulos, ya lo demás no me importa mucho. Esta serie de Wolfs Rain está integrada por 4 blurays en los que se abarcan los 26 episodios de la serie original y además incluye las 4 ovas finales. Los primeros discos tienen 9 episodios cada uno y el último bluray tiene 3 episodios + extras, lo cual es mucho contenido. Ya hace mucho vi Wolfs Rain, y es un anime soberbio en todos sus apartados, aunque reconozco que no es para todo el mundo. No es un anime ligero, es un anime adulto y a veces se pone un poco lento, muy enfocado en la historia y sobre todo en los personajes, que en verdad son muy carismáticos e inspiradores. La calidad visual y sonora de este anime es completamente incuestionable. La animación soberbia, siempre mantiene ese aire de anime de alto presupuesto porque nunca disminuye y la música de Yoko Kanno es lo máximo, además que los temas que aparecen son increíbles, todo perfecto en el apartado artístico. Si buscas un anime adulto, con personajes carismáticos, historia muy original, una ambientación post apocalíptica bien lograda, adelante, adquiere este bluray, es para ti...y en caso de que tengas dudas, te recomiendo que veas el anime que está disponible por Crunchyroll o Funimation, de hecho, tiene esta colección tiene un cupón que te permite adquirir la versión de Funimation por streaming.

価格が何よりいいとこ。この値段でこんなvolume。

This is how you re-release a product. Amazing quality and amazing pricing. I was afraid this series would never be a part of my collection because of the out-of-print DVD's going for $500+ CDN from resellers, but thankfully we get this updated version at a great price. The series is a classic. Great story, great characters, AMAZING music. It's a must own for any anime fan!

Recordaba con cierto cariño esta serie, aún no la he terminado de ver, pero puedo afirmar que estaba en lo cierto. Pocas veces he conectado tanto con una serie de animación, solo se ha acrecentado este cariño del que hablaba. Y el servicio de Amazon es también muy bueno. ¡Saludos!

内容的なことはさておき、主に以前国内で販売されたDVD版（BOX版ではなく）との比較です。 画面左と下がクロップされてるようで（左を削った分比率あわせで下も削られたのかな）、その分画面の情報量は減っています。 線のメリハリはBDのほうがありますが、特に元ソースを大きくいじることはなく、素直にアプコンをかけた印象です。DVDをアプコン機能のある機器で視聴する物とそれほど変化を見ることは出来ないかなと。 デジタル製作だと発色が劇的に変わることは稀で、今回もその例にたがわず。 当時の風潮か、あまり深い色味を用いたりせず、線自体も黒というより周囲に溶け込むような印象。 明暗の表示幅の狭いブラウン管で見る時代に合わせて作られたこともあってか、液晶に表示される今の基準で見ると余計に思い切りの足らないぼやっとした暗部に見えてしまいます。 この頃の作品はどれもBD化の恩恵を受け難いようで、DVD時代によほど酷い圧縮による画質にされたとかでなければ特に差を感じることが少ないですね。DVDの時点でバンダイビジュアル販売だと尚のこと（当時他社作品より綺麗でしたから）。 とはいえ変に画質に手を加えようとして失敗してしまうより全然いいです。 この価格でアプコンが既になされた物を見れるという意味では満足ですし、一枚辺り9話収録というのもありがたいです。 コンボのDVDの方はリージョンにあったドライブをつなげ次第追記ということで。 BD4枚+DVD5枚で計9枚入りのBDケースには驚きました。分厚い！。こんなBDケースがあるんですねぇ。
