Wolf's Rain-

Wolf's Rain is a great show if you like depressing things. It is filled with blood, revenge, death, and trying to find something called Paradise.

Summary
Wolf's Rain takes place in the future when all wolves are belived to be extinct. In fact, the wolves have learned to transform into humans when they need to in order to stay alive, sort of like a werewolf. So they're basically walking among the humans but no one can reconize they're wolves. So there is one white wolf named Kiba who is searching for a place called Paradise, where wolves can run free and not have to hide from humans. Later on Kiba meets three other wolves, Tsume, Hige, and Toboe who join himon his journey to find paradise. It is a really depressing show with no comedy whatsoever. Romance can be seen once or twice but not very often, and like I said it had lots of blood and death and is very graphic. It is a really good show though just not for kids.

Full Metal Alchemist-

Full Metal Alchemist is also a very popular show in the United States. Unlike Wolf's Rain, it has plenty of comedy but is serious at the same time.

Summary
Full Metal Alchemist is about two brothers, Edward and Alphose Elric. When they were just young boys, their mother died of an illness. Blinded by the wish to bring their mother back to life, they tryed to bring her back through a human transmutation which used alchemy. But the plan went horribly wrong when the younger brother, Al, was sucked into the void they had opened. In order to get his brother's soul back, Ed gave his right arm and left leg up and in return was able to paste his brother's soul to a suit of armor. After a few years, the boys wish to find a legendary substance called the Philosopher's Stone, it is said that the owner of the stone, can use alchemy without the law of equivilant exchange. So Ed joins the military in order to obtain information on the stone so he and his brother can get their original bodies back. This show is about thier journeys. It is a really good show but graphic so I wouldn't reconmend it for kids.

Cowboy Bebop-

Summary
Like Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop takes place in the future when we are able to travel from planet to planet in rocket ships like we can in cars. It's about a group of bounty hunters traveling throughout space trying to catch criminals in order to get the bounties placed on them. In the show however, they never succed in actually getting the money. It's a good show but once again not for kids due to the sexual refrences, language, and violence. It can be funny at times but is mostly serious.
