Well, Fallen Noble, you see: #1 was such awful, unspeakable mess that I have not yet coined a name for that #2 would still be on that level of crapola, but only slightly higher. Still not high enough to count I kind of liked the drawing....the wolves looked kinda funky to me in a tolerable way, probably because that's similar to how I sketch (but with more definition in the legs so they're not so stocky and stiltish and I work on making the tails less scribbly). The people-drawings I wasn't too impressed with, but in the end, I just find myself flipping through the manga and looking at the five or six choice drawings I've found myself drawn to. Other than that, I just sit and admire the cover art and colors. Crap is cutting them a lot of slack. I'm too exhausted with the level of disappointment I had with this manga to put effort into cutting them down. I'm just hoping that the final DVD will have something on it to make all of this worthwhile. I haven't seen special features since the first DVD...this, the lack of merchandise at this point and the craptastic manga put out is leading me to believe that Bandai and/or studio BONES don't love their fans.

Its those god damn japanese people, they didnt like it. I also hate how there are close to NO special features on the dvds... there hasnt been anything since creator interview in volume 2!! there better be something on the dvd. (i got the dvd 2 days ago, but its at my dads house and im with my mom til tomorrow, so ill tell you... i get them a month in advance )

aw...you already got Final Encounter? Lucky mofo....it'll probably be another month before I can because the only place that will have it will be Sam Goody and you know they'll be charging 29.99-34.99 for it because they suck like that.

Yep i did, but i am actually quite unlucky. You see, my dad is on a camping trip and isnt home all weekend- my dvd has been sitting outside since Friday, and my mom is a ho so of course she wont drive me, and my bike is at my dad's house. Unfortunately, i fear is may have been stolen!!! Well, my mom went shopping, she said she would check if it was there or not. If it isnt there, then it is either stolen, or the ppl who feed our cats when my dad is gone have put it inside, which i hope that is the case. In addition, my ghost in the shell dvds volumes 1-4 all arrived too, from a different website, so ppl will see allt he packages at the door, know we are not home, and raid our house and steal my dvds. well anyway, its probably nothing to worry about, but im UNlucky foo.

I agree; it would be awesome if they had a lot of special features on the last DVD. I would love it if they would show the various character designs before they settled on the current ones; I always love watching how the character designs change before they settle on the final ones. It would also be nice if they had an interview with the director so we can hear his thoughts about the end, and see if it would answer some of the unanswered questions we’ve been asking, but I doubt this will be the case.

Oh, so you’re the person I should be thanking for those free DVDs I found on somebody’s porch. ;D *Just kidding*

There was one of them...I think volume 4 or 5 that was supposed to have an interview with the creator, but when I popped it in...I found no such thing. But I swear the box says it does. I was disappointed.

There was one of them...I think volume 4 or 5 that was supposed to have an interview with the creator, but when I popped it in...I found no such thing. But I swear the box says it does. I was disappointed. I know... we were betrayed. I borrowed volume 4 from a friend *glares at empty wallet* expecting some interviews and such, but I found no such thing! But I am happy with the first one (The only one I actually own.).

Shame on you! Buy them all! (wow, this thread changed topic) Anyway, all in all i was very disappointed with extra features. I guess since no one liked the show in Japan they didnt even bother.

How about we just turn this into the "Everything We Hate About SOme WR Merchandise" thread.Yay for bitching about stuff! Anyway, I will buy them all, and even the god-awful second manga, to complete my collections. Oh, and I need to buy some WR lighters and posters as well. Hopefully I'll be able to buy all of that with 7$

Hopefully I'll be able to buy all of that with 7$ Somehow, i just dont think that would cut it. but more ranting on the special features: if it wasnt popular in japan, fine! then screw interviews, etc. but they should at LEAST have bloopers or english character interviews, or something so simple like that! i mean i know the WR english cast was pimp, but they have to have some bloopers!

But I am happy with the first one (The only one I actually own.). Volume three didn’t have any interviews either – even though it said it did on the DVD box – talk about false advertising. but more ranting on the special features: if it wasnt popular in japan, fine! then screw interviews, etc. but they should at LEAST have bloopers or english character interviews, or something so simple like that! i mean i know the WR english cast was pimp, but they have to have some bloopers! Exactly! I bet they had some hilarious bloopers because sometime things just come out wrong.

All in all, this really pissed me off. If anyone reads this shit first, they wont bother with the anime, which is a VERY good anime. I give this a 0/10, i hope the writers and animators get raped and cut in an underground prison filled with mosquitoes. o-o well... maybe it's not that bad, since i read it before i've seen the anime, but I think it's an extremely short summary of the whole anime and it led me to find out more about the anime in the first place. Hehe... so it does get some people interested. What really pisses me off is that I can't find a single place in my country that sells the Wolf's Rain's DVD/VCD/OVA! *gumbles*

Most likely if I had read it first also it would have raised my intrest also. Good point.
