=== ''[[WolfsWolf's Rain]]'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Abridged Series]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQi9Ax8UzCw You better believe it!]
* [[Accidental Murder]]
Line 61:
* [[Divided We Fall]]: At first Kiba and Tsume have this relationship, but over time Tsume comes to believe more in their quest for paradise and becomes a vital aid.
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: Curious.
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: Quent, Hubb and Cher. Mainly Quent though.
* [[Due to Thethe Dead]]: {{spoiler|Cher is the first person to die in the final episodes, unable to get out of the vehicle fast enough before it falls down the cliff. Hubb and the Wolves are able to get down the cliff fast enough for Hubb to spend his final moments with her, before he lays her body into the nearby river and lets it sink into the depths.}}
* [[Dystopia]]: Mew's world, the fake Paradise.
** Jagara's city is implied to be this.
Line 90:
* [[Here We Go Again]]: Subverted. The series opens with Kiba wounded, staggering through the snow after the death of his pack: "A voice calls to me. It says, 'search for Paradise...' " The scene and monologue recur in episode 30, {{spoiler|only this time, he's the only character who is still alive. In the last scene of the series, some of the characters appear alive again in a modern city, and Kiba starts running, implying that his search for the Paradise started again.}}
* [[Heroic Albino]]: Cheza
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Kiba has one after Cheza dies. Then he dies shortly after. Tsume has one at Toboe's death as well,proving himself to be a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] after crying [[Manly Tears]] and going into his [[The Woobie|Woobieriffic]] [[Backstory]] with his dead,fallen friend.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Doesn't Darcia the Third rise from the dead, [[Mad WorldMadWorld|swapping his wolf form for a chainsaw attatched to his arm, and participating in a game show called Death Watch?]] {{spoiler|Only after [[Cowboy Bebop|killing that white-haired gangster.]] }}
** To tell you the truth, the entire cast has recognizable voices. [[Crispin Freeman|Tsume]] is [[Hellsing|Alucard]], [[Mona Marshall|Toboe]] is [[Moribito|Prince Chagum]], [[Johnny Yong Bosch|Kiba]] is [[Gankutsuou|Albert de Morcer]]/[[Last Exile|Claus Valca]]/[[Trigun|Vash the Stampede]]/[[Code Geass|Lelouche Lamperouge]], etc.
*** Certain Japanese voice actors can be recognized as well. Like Mamoru Miyano as Kiba.
Line 119:
** The former is even more disturbing when you think about the fact that [[Really 700 Years Old|Cheza is at least 200 years old]], but her human form looks about 13 or so, and [[Younger Than They Look|Kiba is only about 2 or 3 in wolf years]], but his human form looks anywhere from 19-21. So it's pedophilia either way, regardless of how you look at it.
** Toboe and Leara. It didn't last long though, as Toboe accidentally killed her pet hawk, and in the emotion of the moment he dropped his human disguise and let out a mournful howl. She understandably does not take any of this well.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Tsume
* [[Jump Cut]]: This is how we transition between wolves looking like wolves and looking like humans; no morphing, no nothing.
* [[Just Before the End]]
* [[Kill the Cutie]]: Several. {{spoiler|Toboe is the most memorable one,though.}}
* [[Kill'Em All]]: In a distressingly systematic fashion, {{spoiler|followed by a possible [[Reincarnation]], depending on what you think is actually happening in that very last scene.}} However, {{spoiler|the manga version of the story has the wolves and Cheza survive. The bad news is that Kiba ends up being blinded in the fight with Lord Darcia. The good news is that the clouds part, [[Cue the Sun|the sun shines]] and the Ice Age ends.}}
* [[Licked Byby the Dog|Licked By The Wolf]]: Early on when Tsume is being a jerkass, Toboe's liking for him is one of the few things (besides his badassery) that makes him likeable. Although being voiced by [[Crispin Freeman]] doesn't hurt...
* [[Lie to Thethe Beholder]]: The wolves' human forms are merely psychic illusions; they can't fool animals, security cameras, or so on.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: The wolves, when in human form, are always seen wearing the same clothes. As, actually, is pretty much everybody, for the most part (Hubb and Cher are shown wearing different outfits in [[Flash Back]] but their clothes don't change much in the actual show).
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: There's a plant whose pollen puts anyone who comes near it to sleep until they eventually die. This is possibly subverted, depending on your interpretation of the scenes that follow.
Line 166:
* [[Owl Be Damned]]: That freaky (ghost?) owl who keeps popping up.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Tsume begrudgingly takes on this role with Toboe, right down to the very end.
* [[Power-Up Food]]: Quent Yaden can see through the wolves' illusions [[By the Eyes of Thethe Blind|after consuming alcohol]].
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Species Guy]]: Kiba has a chip on his shoulder.
* [[Raised Byby Wolves]]: Interesting inversion. Although this show is about wolves, only ''two'' out of the five wolf main characters were actually raised by wolves, Tsume and presumably Hige. The rest were raised by humans. Because they are wolves, they tends to lack emotion when they are in their human forms, and can be very awkward when actually conversing with humans. Toboe, Blue, and Hige are all much more comfortable around humans, because they have been around them more. In Toboe's case, his attachment to humans {{spoiler|is what ultimately causes his downfall}}.
* [[Reality Subtext]]: In [[Real Life]], Japanese wolves were rendered extinct. {{spoiler|[[Kill'Em All|These ones fare no better]]}}
** However, these wolves are [[Big Badass Wolf|big and badass]], while the Honshu wolf was only a little bigger than the coyote...
Line 191:
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Many of the songs are sung in English.
* [[Sword Fight]]: Jagura vs Darcia
* [[Talking to Thethe Dead]]
* {{spoiler|[[That Poor Plant]]: [[Tear Jerker|Poor Cheza...]]}}
* [[Theme Naming]]: Kiba = Fangs, Tsume = Claws, Hige = Whiskers, Toboe = Howl, Darcia = dark.
Line 197:
* [[Third Person Person]]: Cheza always refers to herself as "This one."
* [[Together in Death]]: {{spoiler|Toboe and Quent, Hige and Blue, and technically Cheza and Kiba, although Cheza's body literally goes to seed before Kiba dies}}.
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: Blue spends half the series fighting wolves with a burning passion and hatred, only to find out she's half-wolf.
* [[Tragic Dream]]: Hub comforting Cher while they are being held captive by discussing how after this is over they'll live by the sea in a house together, and grow old together. Even if they get out of the situation, the world is an icy wasteland on the verge of a complete nuclear winter, there's really no chance they'll ever get to see this dream come true.
* [[Train Job]]
