True, not many would agree with me, and the show isn't perfect, but an ambitious undertaking in storytelling nonetheless. Alot of folks have different interpretations of the show's meaning, even citing references to christianity, pagan mythology, and buddhism. Personally, the hidden symbolisms didn't affect me so much as the sheer emotional impact the series had on my viewing experience. Heck, I didn't even catch those things when I first watched it. Either way, my opinion is very biased since wolf's rain is maybe the second anime I've watched ever, so it was definitely a nostalgia trip for me seeing it on your list :)
Heh. I cry during all sorts of things. Most of these instances are the 'moved to tears' rather than the 'omg so sad!' types, and I'm not sure if that makes it more or less acceptable.
Hi there youkais! Just dropping by to say I'm pleasantly surprised to see Wolf's Rain in your top 5 list. I have alot of fond memories of that series, especially the ending theme "Gravity" (makes me cry a bit each time I listen). Although not my all-time favorite anime, Wolf's Rain is a classic in my opinion (sans those god-forbidden recaps) :)

Thanks =D Where is yours from?
You silly, I also know that, either way I spend a lot of time watching them! ;)
So probably now I'm one hell of monster. :)
You are amazed in positive or negative way? xD
