    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!

    • 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! Edit
