Rain on Me
Wow. Wolf's Rain, this anime is one of the best I have ever seen. I feel so much for the characters! I was getting misty-eyed when a tragic event happened near the show's end. If anyone loves anime or even likes anime--gosh, if you even have a penchant for good storytelling, see it!
Here's a synopsis: In a post-apocalyptic future where humans live in domed cities surrounded by wasteland, wolves are assumed to be two hundred years extinct. Yet wolves do walk among them, disguising themselves as humans in order to survive in mankind's domain. Now a handful of wolves will follow the scent of Lunar Flowers on a dangerous quest to find that which legend promises them: Paradise.
Quote of the Entry:
"When are we born? When do we die? Why are we born? Why do we die? The world has been destroyed and we've fallen countless times, always resurrecting from the ashes as Paradise. It has happened before, and it will happen again. An endless cycle of life and death. The world is a Paradise that was opened by someone, but this era too is almost at an end. We have acquired the means to exceed our natural span of life, never suspecting that the world itself was finalized in its existence. This knowledge has left me in despair, my fate has fallen and scattered like the petals of a dying flower, like the blast from a sand storm it has been warn down and weathered away. As if to be purified, the world will be encased in ice so that it can return to the beginning once more. Paradise is a world that is opened by someone..."
