*Spoilers*
It sure does seem like Kiba was the only one “unchanged” in the new world, but with the other wolves reborn as humans looking exactly like their human facades – I wonder if Kiba will try and make contact with them. Anyway, it was just a thought I had…

What are you talking about? Every time I read one of your posts I get confused because I don’t know what you’re referring to. |

I dunno about that. They were doing things at that point that were near impossible for a wolf to achieve, even with their illusions. Tsume, for example, was driving a motorcycle. No possible way a wolf could efficiently pilot a motorcycle. Hige was holding a bag of donuts in one hand and eating one out of another. Toboe was holding a kitten and an umbrella in both hands. Near impossible feats for one without hands, unless they got them, unless they forgot and lost their wolf side as Darcia mentioned to Kiba during their battle. That seems to be the implication.

I don't know. During the whole show they did stuff like that. Through it all it seemed very likley that if you swung at their heads you would have made contact. Perhaps there was something physical to those forms. Perhaps they were so powerfull that even while not physical could still affect the physical world. Being wolves if they were to pick anything up it should have stayed around their head level, but they held things like thier food up to their human heads. Can an illusion project images of things other than the wolf? Makes you wonder how powerfull the spell was and just what it did. For all we know that display at the end could have been just a more extreem example of what they had alawys done, or not.
Oh, and someone once said Hige was eating what looked like a chocolate donut, harmfull to canines. Before that is brought up again, ahem, this is Hige were talking about. If he was alergic to bees he'd eat them anyway.

If he was alergic to bees he'd eat them anyway. we really don't see them do many things an intelligent wolf couldn't do. we don't see them drive, we don't see them doing things that would require them to use both hands at the same time, we DO see they leave pawprints when they appear human. the illusions do seem to adapt to show them doing things like a human would do them, but that's logical, as it could blow their cover if they were only seen holding stuff in their mouth. also, in the interviews on one of the first two DVDs they say they had inteded orignally for the sounds they made walking thru the snow in their human seemings to be the sound a dog would make walking thru the snow. they only defaulted to the sound of a human walking thru the snow because they thought it sounded too weird the other way. that indicates that it is indeed an illusion. |

I'm referring to the Message...Not yours or anyone, The one who started the topic "Is there a "paradise" at all? Well I'd have to say there is a paradise...Theres no way to prove it but those chosen will go and find it.

So pretty much you think every aspect of Wolf's Rain ties with christianity.... |

I've gotta agree with that, you can't tie WR to any one religion without lessening the theme. plus, Crispin Freeman, a mythology buff, has written at least a couple times how Wolf's Rain shares many themes with various asian myth themes, especially hinduism and buddhism. it also shares some themes with western myth themes (I don't know about you, but Darcia at the end made me think about Fenrir from the Norse mythos... or maybe Skoll or Hati, Fenrir's sons, who persue the sun and moon respectively and will devour them at the time of Ragnarok). one of the things most myth buffs who love Wolf's Rain like about the series is it's mythic without having a firm tie to any one culture or religion's myths. it just focuses on themes in mythology without focusing on any one specifically. |

I believe there is a Paradise...Maybe because Humans reak the world so much....Most likely we can't find it. But I think with those who conquered their Sins...I think they are the ones who can find it. Those beyond avg. Humans.

Crispin writes things? 'Bout mythology and stuff? I'd like to read them, if they're online. Have a link by chance? :3 |
