Ok! Oh boy I’m excited! I would love to hear what you think, i don’t get to talk to anyone about wolfs rain… It has the greatest OP in the world (and you think you know what i mean by that, but you don’t)…

Wolfs rain is an overlooked gem about wolves and a girl at the end of the world. It was the next project the storyboard director from evangelion went on to work on iirc, one of studio bones first projects and fantastic music by yoko kanno throughout. Every character in it both good and “bad” has a motive, has a reason for their actions, and is wonderfully fleshed out. It plays a bit with character archetypes and how they break down when they are actually real people, reminiscent of EVA. Wolf’s Rain is also on my short-list of great animes that also finish well.

You will cry through. Oh yes.

Imma go watch it again

Mushishi thirded. It’s slow pace and human characterizations, patient world building… Exceptional.
