Thats the thing I like about this anime. Ending is whatever the viewer interprets it to be, literal or... how should I say it... different? :? Well you get my point.
I agree. That's one thing i really like about the anime too!^^ (and sorta the manga too)

There are many similarities. I think there's a different side type story in volume 1, but vol two goes in completely different direction, characters switch sides, very confusing.
Making an amv, is rather like being the director of a Broadway show, where you have a million dancers and each of them only knows one step.

The manga and the anime both start out exactly the same, but they both have their major differences. It just takes about the first chapter for the manga to really branch off of the same storyline as the anime. :roll:

Out of all aniems I seen, Wolf's Rain has the second worst ending ever next to Chrono Crusades wh ohasthe worst and saddest ending.

In Wolf's Rain everyone dies and they go to this diffrent universe and starts over

In Chrono Crusades the good guys die and the bad guy lives. So it is Good guys loses and bad guys win

Everyone has their opinion, but I think the ending is part of what made this anime so original.

How else would you have ended it differently? They all end up at Disneyland and party?

I think the ending was great, because it wasn't "the end". It made it so that even though everyone died, they came back in a different life to complete the cycle again. Yes, I creid my eyes out when Toboe died and it's kinda depressing to think that their souls are condemned to repeat similar round (if I understand the ending correctly: I have a badly sublitled Japanese version), but I think that it gives the story it's entire meaning.

I was like - "No Flipping way." I mean Kiba and everyone took twenty shots to the chest already and walked it off. I couldn't believe they really ended an episode like that.

As for the ending, I think they leave it ambigious - you have no idea what'll happen to them. They all have the chance to start over, and look for paradise all over again. I think it's sad they're all separate, and what happened to Blue, or any of the other chars??

i liked the ending, it was totally unexpected, it was clever though how they looped it to the opening scenes, its almost like we all seen paradise to start with, but just didnt realise it, like so many other things. I didn't really think they left it open enough for a sequal though, or even another season, and if they ever did decide to add a movie to the collection, they would have to take a leaf out of bebop and just another 'episode' for lack of a better word. Any way that is my opinion.
Some things are better left unsaid...
