Ok I just wanted to know something, are there any censored scenes or scenes that were removed from wolf's rain on Adult Swim? Because its gonna be aired on weekdays in November so I was planning to watch it, but I don't want to watch a version thats super censored or anything. And if it is censored are there any big importent parts that were removed that would just ruin the whole series? thanks, oh and no spoilers please..

From what I've seen on Adult Swim, it looked like very little was edited, aside from the Opening and Ending credits. I did hear they might have edited something in the OAV episodes or something, but I missed one of them Anime catgrin + sweatdrop.

But basically, yeah, it's pretty much uncut with blood and all. Wink

And do watch it, it's a pretty good series.

Could anyone just tell to me what should be censored from Wolf's Rain? There's just a bit of blood here and there, but nothing else. But it's supposed that people who will watch it it's mature enough...

I think some companies are getting insane with censoring. Sometimes, it happen that hey censor some scenes that they're needed to watch to understand how an anime continues...

There are some time cuts in the OAV to bring them down into the 22 minute range. OAVs tend to be longer due to being released straight to video and not having to deal with a commercial format.

Speaking of Wolf's Rain, can anyone tell me if the end of the last episode, as it was broadcast on CN this past Saturday night, was chopped off? It was a good last episode, but seemed to end in the middle of a scene with spoiler[Kiba, seen from behind, running down the street in the city in the new world after most of the other regular cast members had been shown briefly.]

I believe it was. The end theme was supposed to be "Stray" by Steve Conte instead of "Gravity" and the typical end sequence.
CN probably wanted to save time so they decided to cut it out.
It's going to appear when the episodes come out on DVD.

So the closer was the only thing that was different, then? Or were there follow-up scenes as the closer was playing? (I've seen this done in other anime series.)

from what I've read on a Wolf's Rain forum, CN cut the opening and ending credits of the finale, the opening credits are gone completely (I don't think I've ever seen opening credits for any episode) and they replaced the finale's special ending credits with the standard ending credits/song. Supposedly the finale's real opening and ending credits help explain the ending.

I'm looking forward to them airing the series nightly, so that I can watch it from the beginning -- I got into it late in the game, about 1/2-2/3 of the way through the series.

i read that they didn't show episodes 15-18 which were episodes that recapped what had happened from the perspective of the different characters.

Yes, they are. Hige, Toboe and Tsume explain a bit about their feellings since they started this travel. It does appear in my DVD's, thought.

My best guess:

spoiler[According to Cheza, Kiba did finally succeed in opening paradise, allowing everyone a second chance at the life that was so cruelly taken from them. Unfortunately, the blackness emanating from Darcia's eye suggests that will include him too. The whole mess is going to start again, and the process will repeat over and over unless and until Darcia can be taken out of the equation.]
Again, that's just my humble take on it.

I agree with you that spoiler[it will start all over again.]
Also does anybody else think that Jagura's mask looks almost the same as the one that Iron Mask wears in Mobile Suit Gundam F91?
