    So nice to see someone cover Wolf's Rain. Such a underrated and forgotten anime

    Whether it's characters or situations, wolf's rain is full of symbolism through and through. That's why I love the series, it's not an ordinary one and certainly not to be watched with fragile heart and shut off mind. It explores the meaning and aspects of life.

    When I first watched Wolf's Rain, I was amazed at how it was able to include all these different religious/spiritual concepts and symbols without feeling contrived or derivative. You have the Norse imagery of wolves delivering the end of the world, Hindu/Buddhist concepts of life and death and repeating cycles, and of course, a very Christ-like sacrifice for the redemption of the world.

    Thank you for this video. I always thought the lunar flower was a lotus and had something to do with Buddhism. This made things clear and my appreciation for this beautifully sad show much deeper.

    Sad to see how forgotten with time this show has gotten, I rewatched it last year and loved it even more. And I'm glad to see someone else compare Wolf's Rain with Texhnolyze, they share quite a bit, and I was suprised to realize just how many similarities my two favorite shows have with one another.

    came from Hakaru's recommendation! Thanks for the insight on what Cheza may represent, when I was watching Wolf's Rain I didn't have idea it could go so deep, more than it naturally does

    Great video! And I can’t exactly make out what you’re saying in regards to what the flower is based on after trying to understand what you’re saying - but the lunar flower from the show is a tan hua/queen of the night flower! A flower that in a sort of sad symbolic way, only blooms once a year and for a few scant hours at night

    so this isnt really a break down of wolf's rain neither an analysis on its motifs and mythos but rather a comparative analises with the study of modern mythology, from hinduism to others. A waste of time for anyne really wanting to see an analysis on wolf's rain however a good video for anyone who is moreinterested in how mythology is re used for anime and more.
