Wolf’s Rain the uncrowned masterpiece

Wolf's Rain still breaking hearts 20 years later

This song always makes me sad because even though Kiba and the other wolves were reincarnated, they have no memory of each other, Blue or the humans. "Heaven's not enough if when I get there I don't remember you" is the line that hits hardest when you think about the anime's end.

I need this on Spotify so bad

Wolfs Rain is a hidden gem, every person should put it on their list because it is the kind of story that could only be executed as an anime.

Wolf's Rain is a tragedy. This song is torture and yet i keep coming back

it's a crime that this isn't on spotify but the rest of steve conte's music with yoko kanno is pls we need this one too

Heaven's not enough if when you get there.. just another blue and heaven's not enough you think you've found it and it loses you You've thought of all there is but not enough and it loses you in a cloud "there" most everything is nothin' that it seems "where" you see the things you only wanna see I'd fly away to a higher plane to say words I resist to float away to sigh to breathe.... forget and heaven's not enough if when I'm there I don't remember you and heaven does enough you think you know it and it uses you I saw so many things but like a dream always losing me in a cloud cause I couldn't cry cause I turned away couldn't see the score didn't know the pain of leaving yesterday really far behind in another life in another dream by a different name gave it all away for a memory and a quiet lie and I felt the face of a cold tonight still don't know the score but I know the pain of leaving everything really far behind and if I could cry and if I could live what truth I did then take me there heaven goodbye

Wolf’s Rain was my first anime, and by God I loved it. I cried so hard.. This has a special place in my heart, always. Goodnight, Toboe.

One of the BEST animes that nobody ever talks about

Holy shit I just got hit by the nostalgia train. Wolf's Rain is the first anime I ever watched.

Officially 20 years old tomorrow. Still an amazing show.

I cried listening to this song when my childhood dog passed away. I still come back to listen to it and think about the good times I had with my loving dog, Zoey.

Wolf's Rain deserves more recognition. It is beautiful.

Criminally underrated.

This song still hits hard after fifteen years.

*This is how nostalgic memories sound like*

this anime had a really good soundtrack

Wolf's Rain was the series which got me addicted to anime. It will always have a special place in my heart

I believe it's about the false paradise, when Kiba meets Mya. There, he simply can't cry because he does not remember things, you can't cry over nothing. That place erases your memories, as time passes by. Yet, cheza's voice asking for Kiba to remember made he give that "Heaven" all away. Memories are painful, but they are TRUE, not a quiet sweet lie, which this place was all about: Fake. "Heaven goodbye." Darcia kept persuing Heaven till the very dead end, he'd chosen to live a lie. Kiba gave that fake shit up for meeting cheza, his Heaven was future itself, not a place. Remember when he had a talk about it with Darcia, he persued it to have a future. He needed cheza to restart it all and keep the cycle going on, he knew she was the aswear, that was his intuition calling him, to keep going on despite of all the temptations, it was bigger than his own life, he was ready to kill and die for it. Heaven was a lifeless end, in a stagnated way. Darcia only wanted it to get Hamona back, a selfish reason, as he kept her suffering (cheza set her free). Kiba did it all out of instinct, a deep and soulfull calling. The whole point of Wolf's Rain is that: There is no end, no Heaven, only The Future.

It's important to note that this song is aimed at the Nobles, not Kiba and the wolves. Wolf's Rain takes place in an apocalyptic future post-totally successful global dictatorship. The nobles have reached the point where they no longer have to cooperate because they have all of the world's riches. There are literally no worlds left for them to conquer, so they hide away in their palaces and cling to their ill-gotten gains. It's pretty pathetic. The only thing they haven't obtained is immortality. Meanwhile, the common man (or wolf) struggles to survive and find a future apart from a system that no longer has to depend on its own people to maintain domination because the entire world is dying as a result of totalitarian destruction.

This anime was visually and emotionally beautiful

It's been a really long time since I've watched this anime; it was one of my first. I've only seen it once, but I don't have to guts to watch it again knowing how it ends. So I just listen to the OST and let my heart sink.

Wolf's Rain is something unique...is a gem. Is so different from other anime. For me is a masterpiece like Cowboy Bebop.

recently bought the dvd set for wolfs rain so i could watch it again as an adult and finally understand what i was watching when I was 10, it was so worth it. it was a story i couldnt appriciate fully when i first watched it but absolutly adore now.

Can't go wrong with Yoko Kanno and Steve Konte. Such an amazing and heartbreaking track.

This series was a bit of a comming of age experiance for me as a teenager. I remember being profundly impacted and cought in thought by the series. Going to rewatch it now, and i would very much reccomend it to others!

this anime its what got me into anime

Wolf's Rain was such a great anime. Also one of the best animes where the wolves actually look like wolves and not some weird cat/fox looking thing

I salute this anime. I've seen many. But this one goes deeper than most, and still holds on to this day. I just can't help but go back to this classic.

"I gave it all away for a memory and a quiet lie..." "Heaven, goodbye."

I just finished rewatching Wolf's Rain and god damn, i cried even more then 15 years ago when i saw it for the first time. Such a masterpiece, it will always have a special place in my hearth.

I don't think I'll ever get over how beautiful this anime is. I first watched it when I was 11, and last year (ten years later) I rewatched it. It was such a great experience, and it has aged so well. I'm really grateful it's the first anime I was introduced to.

For anyone trying to find this online to buy, search for Yoko Kanno. She's the actual composer for the OST and it'll be under her name. Steve Conte was just the vocalist for this, not the writer.

wolf's rain is my top 5 anime for sure. Fucking underrated as shit

Sucks this masterpiece isn’t on Spotify

We put to sleep my dog today on 8th of july. All dogs go to heaven, but even heaven is not enough for them

Such an underrated anime with some of the very best music scored for any visual media.

Gave it all away, for a memory was my senior quote. This show got me through a lot growing up

I remember getting so worked up towards the end know what would be the worst was about to come. This song really nailed in those emotions. I love Wolfs Rain, but man.... does it reach your soul.

Heaven's Not Enough (Wolf's Rain) Heaven's not enough If when you get there... Just another blue And heaven's not enough You think you've found it And it loses you You've thought of all there is But not enough And it loses you In a cloud "There" most everything is nothin' That it seems "Where" you see the things you only wanna see I'd fly away To a higher plane To say words I resist To float away To sigh To breathe...forget And heaven's not enough If when I'm there I don't remember you And heaven does enough You think you know it And it uses you I saw so many things But like a dream Always losing me in a cloud 'Cause I couldn't cry 'Cause I turned away Couldn't see the score Didn't know the pain Of leaving yesterday really far behind In another life In another dream By a different name Gave it all away For a memory And a quiet lie And I felt the face Of a cold tonight Still don't know the score But I know the pain Of leaving everything really far behind And if I could cry And if I could live what truth I did then take me there Heaven goodbye... •-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• O Céu Não é O Bastante O céu não é o bastante Se quando eu chegar lá... Seja apenas mais azul. E o céu não é o bastante Você pensa que o achou E ele te perde Você já pensou em tudo que tem Mas não é o suficiente E você o perde Numa nuvem "Ali" a maioria das coisas não é O que parece "Onde" você vê as coisas que apenas quer ver Eu vou voar Para um plano mais ato Para dizer coisas que eu resisti Para flutuar Para suspirar Para respirar...esquecer. E o céu não é o bastante Se quando eu estiver lá eu não me lembre de você E o céu faz o bastante Você acha que o conhece E ele te usa E vi tantas coisas Mas como um sonho Sempre me perdendo em uma nuvem Porque eu não podia chorar Porque eu dei a volta Não pude ver a contagem Não sabia a dor De deixar o ontem realmente pra trás Em outra vida Em outro sonho Por um nome diferente Deixei tudo pra trás Por uma memória E uma mentira silenciosa E eu senti a face De uma noite gelada Continuo sem saber a contagem Mas eu sei a dor De deixar tudo realmente pra longe E se eu pudesse chorar E se eu pudesse viver a verdade que eu fiz,então ir lá Adeus céu...

This show and Eureka 7 were Studio Bones at its best, the real monsters they were before starting to get obsessed with profit. Such gems they made, and this soundtrack is just superb.

I was 7 when i watched it. This music gives me chills

This song even today brings me to tears the creator and his masterpiece is treasure that we must never forget!!!

THIS SONG TRIGGERS MY FIGHT OR FLIGHT SO HARD! Wolfs rain is my all time favorite anime and every single time I watch it, it makes me SOB

1 million views Nice to see this masterpiece getting some recognition

One of the first ever animes I watched! Absolute masterpiece

This is the anthem of those ravenous for the things the heart hurts for

2021 and it's still in my heart

The thumbnail is exactly what I picture Heaven is like. A wolf's paradise.

Sometimes I just start hearing this song in my head for no apparent reason

In the 28 years I've been alive, I've already watched a LOT of anime, but Wolf's Rain is (imo) a highly underrated anime as well as my #1 Favorite Anime. I remember watching it when it first aired. The story's confusing at first, but you catch on quickly. The characters are written so well and though it can come off as very subtle, there's a lot of character development in everyone. Especially Hige and Tsume. To top it off, the music in the show is just awesome. It ranges from very soft and heavenly to tense and badass while working so well with each particular scene. All in all, Wolf's Rain is a 10/10, in my books.

Don't know why, this song makes me think about Cowboy Bebop's "Blue" and "Memory". Blue, in particular, is all about ascending to heaven and finding peace. Can't help but feel that "Heaven's Not Enough" is a response to that: "Heaven's not enough if when you get there it's just another blue" and "And heaven's not enough if when I'm there I don't remember you". There's also the line "I saw so many things , but like a dream, always losing me in a cloud", which makes me think of the ending of "Blue": "Everything is clearer now; life is just a dream, you know." And then at the end of "Heaven's Not Enough" it says: "In another life, in another dream, by a different name. Gave it all away for a memory and a quiet life", which again makes me think of Spike dying for a "memory" (and the song Memory is tied to Julia). It's a silly connection, but I can't help but think of that every time I hear this song.

I feel so much emotion, feels like I’m gonna cry from hearing this. And I haven’t cried in around a decade.

3:09 this part give me chills every time

This song deserve more spotlight

So much nostalgia. This song always hits me no matter how old I get.

A beautiful way to explore Buddhist ideals and concepts in an understandable and gripping way. Loved it. Was very happy with the ending.

"Stairway to Rakuen."

I’ll never forget this song It will always be in my heart

My god 20 years and im still here

It’s been years, but I’m back here again.

Finished rewatching Wolf's Rain a day ago to compile an episode soundtrack, and I just heard the news of Keiko Nobumoto's passing this morning. I've re-listened to this song most days for about a month now, fantastic song. The final message in the last episode states "thank you very much", but it is Nobumoto who deserves many thanks for her wonderful works and writing, whether it is WR or Bebop, or the "Lullabies of the Lost" in Samurai Champloo. A fantastic soul, unbelievably sad to hear of her passing. Rest in peace.

I love it, left a seed in my soul over time. Will see it again now in 2021.

Man this anime was just beautiful. It wasn't perfect, but it left an incredible impression on me and made me think about things. I love those kinds of things BECAUSE OF THIS SHOW. Since watching it, I started seeing traces of it in other anime. That's incredible.

Don't care how others feel about the ending the animation, atmosphere and music made Wolf Rain an experience worth watching.

Just started watching it , and wow it's amazing

this music makes me want to cry in all the right ways the ending... the nostalgia... this anime affected who i am today

Beatiful song

This not being on spotify should be a war crime

Remember how Blue isn't a full wolf And how this plays when Hige bids her farewell when he thinks he might not see her again Remember how we don't see her in the epilogue Hige no

The art work is so beautiful...so is the music. Makes me feel like I'm in a dream

this kills me every time

who remembers crying themselves into dehydration because of this anime because oh boy fellas I do

People have forgotten how damn good it is

RIP Keiko

Not even 20M....this deserves 200M. Be safe friends.

I'll never understand how anyone could dislike this series.

I got it in my youtube recommendations after 10 years. Strange algorithm, i remember watching it as a kid cause it was cool to see wolves and paradise.

One fucking name for this song: TOBOE Yes, I got teary eyes.

How can a song be this beautiful??? ;___;

One of the most beautiful songs...

Its always the overlooked, less popular anime that I go after. Even when I was a child, I could always resonate with them because people treated me similarly. These teach the best lessons and have the most beautiful soundtracks ❤️

best anime ever , nothing else like it

wolfs rain is the first anime i ever watched from start to finish like 10 yrs ago at this point. i get so much nostalgia from this song and the series. i feel like rewatching it now

Is anything more beautiful than the gray and brown snow filled sky of Wolf's Rain set to this music?

足りない楽園 辿り着いてもそこには 別のブルーが待っている 足りない楽園 見つけたと思っても この手をすり抜ける そこにある全てを抱いても 満たされなくて そのはかなさに取り残されるだけ あるように見えても虚像でしかなく 見たいものしか見えなくなる 高みに飛び去り 言えずにいた言葉を吐いた 何処かへ流され 息をつき 忘れるため からっぽの楽園 ここでは君の事が思い出せない もう沢山だ 分かっているつもりでも いつの間にか利用される いろんな事を見てきた でも気付けばいつも 夢のように自分をを見失う 泣くことも出来ず 目を背けた 存在の理由が見えなくて 昨日を遠く棄て去ることの 痛みをまだ知らずにいた 別の人生で 別の夢で 違う名前で 全てを投げ出して ひとつの思い出と 静かな嘘のため 凍る夜の顔を感じた 何を得たのかは 未だに解らない でも僕らは 全てを置き去りにすることの 痛みを知った もし泣くことが出来るなら つかんだ真実を 生きる事が出来るのなら 連れて行ってくれ さよならラクエン

this anime means so much, there are so many different interpretations and paths to this story, to absorb a lesson of a beautiful piece of art. One thats not just artificial and superficial happy go lucky, but touches on something very real, sadness, struggle, and the reason behind all of our pursuits, all of our blood sweat and tears, what do we fight for? whose your flower maiden/salvation? this song also touches on that struggle, when we think we found some type of heaven some type of peace, love, but in our innocence we didnt see enough and like a dream we lose it in a cloud... and as hard as it is to leave those memories of heaven behind, its inevitable because change is inevitable. and that memory, serves as a guide, in these times of suffering and struggle, its the light that shines up deep from our heart and soul, that no matter what darkness we may be going through it will always be there to reassure us, that weve walked this path before in another time, another life.... and guide us with courage and strength back to our homeland, our hearts, and our soul, our paradise MUCH LOVE & PEACE TO ALL LIFE

This song is etched in my heart.

Es curioso que ninguna canción de las que he escuchado de Wolf's Rain en KZfaq tenga un like negativo.....TODAS tienen like positivo 🤩🤩🤩

Like some good things this masterpiece is forgotten, perhaps lost in the massive pile of other anime series that deserve a watch. At least once.

Makes me cry every time...

Still a masterpiece 💯

my dog just died. and i had to hear this song again. he was in a lot of pain

Eternally waiting for this to be on spotify until I'm in the grave 👌🏻 please 😭

This serie brings me a special feeling. Like warmth on Christmas, a lonely one though. In a big grey city. Still, not being completely alone having a tiny little love inside. Idk

A hauntingly beautiful anime and soundtrack 😊💜

This is one of my favorite songs
