Wolf's Rain is a masterpiece, created by the head writer of Cowboy Bebop (you know, the good one), beautifully realised by studio Bones and supplied with a banger of a soundtrack by Yoko Kanno.
You should definitely watch it if you haven't yet.

It was also one of the shows I translated in another life (for a market nobody on this site probably was part of) that sure was a big change from, you know, your usual Shouty Guy, Tiddy, Gundam or "Stuck In A Game World" fare¹.
I remember it like it was yesterday...
What do you mean, that was two decades ago?

^1: Actually I'm doing Bandai a disservice here, because I also got to do Planetes² and Witch Hunter Robin for them in that era, and really only 2 shows you could classify as "Tiddy".
There was a fuckton of Gundam tho, obviously.

^2: Another incredible masterpiece you owe it to yourself to watch one day

"Stray" is forever a banger but that show kinda disappeared along with like Witch Hunter Robin and contemporaries

thanks for the prompt, i had been meaning to get around to Wolf's Rain.

(i started Planetes a few years ago because it sounded real cool but over the first few episodes i get very angry at the main lady for continually endangering everyone with her inability to follow work procedures.)

You (probably? hopefully?) won't be disappointed.
(also, in Planetes' defense: that thing pays off if you stick with it, but I can understand being "Done")
