Wolf's Rain: Difference between revisions

Line 82:

** [[Tagalong Kid]]: Toboe

* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: The aforementioned ability of the wolves to assume human form is sometimes confusing. Most of the time, they apparently [[Our Werewolves Are Different|retain their wolf form, only ''appearing'' to be human]]. They also, for the most part, seem to be incapable of certain human activities such as driving or using firearms. Yet they sometimes appear to be holding objects in their hands. It usually translates to holding things in their mouths, as shown when Tsume grabs Toboe to keep him from falling. The confusion mostly stems from the fact that they also spend a lot of time looking human even while there are no humans around to fool. Possibly, this is a sort of [[Translation Convention]]; the audience can identify with the characters better if they look human. It doesn't really get weird until they start chowing down on [[Bambification|a dead deer]] -- while in human form.

* [[Freak Out]]: {{spoiler|Lord Darcia when Jaguara's men infiltrate his keep and kill Hamona}}

* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: The OST has songs sung in several different languages, including English, Japanese, French, Italian, Portuguese, and even some Native American chanting. [[Surprisingly Good English|And it's all done flawlessly]], but then again, this is [[Yoko Kanno]], after all.

Line 91:

* [[Hey It's That Voice]]: Doesn't Darcia the Third rise from the dead, [[Mad World|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.]] }}
