I thought this episode was awesome! It was very well written and it is not very hard to understand the situation. I really like how they managed to get alomost everybody in the episode. The concept of Wolf's rain is brilliant. it is really a great show. First the introduce Kiba, then Quent and Blue, then Tsume ,Cheza, Cher and Hubb, and last but not least Hige.Toboe does not show up until a few epusodes later. Kiba however is the only one looking for paradise. Hige offers to go along with Kiba and search for paradise with him. Anyways, I like how the show gives everyone a backround, instead of not going into their pasts and making them all flat characters with a mission.moreless

This agreat start for Wolf's Rain. I already love Hige and his personality. But I love Kiba even more! I even recognize some voices of characters of other shows. Like Hige's voice is that of Tai of Digimon. I hope everyone has enjoyed this as much as I have. Ja'ne!
This episode is just the beginning an all. Tsume and his bandits start the seires off by capturing a train that the noblemen have. They won. Then Kiba comes in badly injured and finds Tsume and they start fighting and are interupted by Gei or Gel or whatever. Kiba is captured and is in a cage. Hige comes in and they start talking. They leave and Gel or Gei dies when Tsumes bandits try and get into the place where Kiba was captured at. Toboe isnt in this episode.moreless
Hige is portrayed as having the keenest sense of smell out of the Lunar wolves - he mentions this fact while talking to Kiba, and he complains vehemently about being down in the sewers.
Edit
Kiba (white wolf), Tsume (gray wolf with scar), and Hige (tan wolf with collar) are introduced in this episode.
Edit
When an auto-defense mecha is disabled, the sound it makes is that of the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive failing to work from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.
Edit
Kiba: They say there's no such place as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the Earth there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But in spite of that, why am I so driven to find it?... A voice calls to me. It says, search for Paradise.
Edit
Quent: The thing about fairytales is there's always some truth in them.
Edit
Hige: I can smell a dog taking a dump 10 kilometers away.
Kiba: Oh yeah? That must really stink.
Hige: Sure does!
