Short Review: Wolf's Rain (no Spoilers)

[jeriendhal]

Summary: In an alternate world where wolves have been all but rendered extinct, the few remaining hide in the human cities, cloaked by magic in human guises. A band of four wolves flee from the city to seek Paradise, the wolves' original home. But their quest may end the world, for no wolf may enter Paradise while Humanity still lives.

Review: A nice, tight little one season series, marred only by an inexplicable four episode recap in the middle.

Oh, and if you've seen it and think the ending is either a bummer or makes no sense? You need to brush up on your Norse Mythology.

I was a bit puzzled by the ending, but then again, I haven't read much into Norse Mythology. ^^ Maybe I should.

Oh and I agree, the four episode recap is absolutly rediculous.

Yeah...those four recap episodes...bane of the series existence.

So it was Norse mythology, I've heard everything from Buddhist to New Age interpretations of that end, but my Norse myth is pretty lacking except for the basics...So does that mean that Kiba is Baldr? XD But really I should go to the actual texts now and figure out the parallels or the non-parallels.
