I completely agree with you and Aoshi101. This anime is my favorite of all I've seen.... actually, it was the first I really devoted myself to seeing every episode of. It was so serious most of the time, but it had some humor thrown in... intentional or not. (Tsume's clothes gave me the giggles a couple times. I remember this one really depressing and glum scene that showed him crouched and facing away, but all I could do was laugh 'cause the shadows made it look like his buttcrack was hanging out... gotta love tight leather.)

It's also the only one my sister will watch with me. She HATES anime! Go Wolf's Rain! *happy dance*
