In some distant future, it's common knowledge that all wolves have been extinct for 200 years. However, it seems this is false as wolves have not disappeared but rather have taken human form. Kiba, a lone wolf, wanders into a city, trying to sniff out the Lunar Flowers that are supposed to lead whoever follows the scent to paradise. The source of the smell is Cheza, a girl who sleeps in what appears to be suspended animation in a lab. She and the wolves are drawn to each other, and Kiba hopes to find paradise once he finds the source of the scent of Lunar Flowers. However, once Kiba finds Cheza, she is kidnapped by a mysterious person called Darcia, and his search begins anew. Before he leaves the city, he meets 3 other wolves, Tsume, Hige and Toboe. All four wolves have very different personalities and ideas, and their friendliness towards each other is a little rough around the edges. However, they soon band together to continue to search for paradise.
Wolf's Rain aired in the United States on Adult Swim from 2004–2005. There are a total of 30 episodes.

Anime series on Adult Swim
The only anime I actually like. Unlike most others, it has a respectable storyline and believable characters, even if the dialogue is a little awkward in places.

a show about wolves embarking on a journey with the flower maiden to reach a place called "Paradise". In order to avoid drawing attention from humans, the wolves use a spell of some kind to make them appear as humans themselves.

In this anime, wolves are believed to be extinct for 200 years. Humans are sparsley scattered around, living in domed cities scattered throughout a desolate, wasted world.
Yet among them, wolves do roam. Disguised as humans, they seek the scent of the Lunar Flower to lead them to a place called Paradise, where wolves roam freely.
This show features 4 of these wolves: Kiba, Hige, Tsume, & Toboe as they search for Paradise. Accompanying them is Chesa, the Flower Maiden, crafted from a legendary Lunar Flower.
Hunting them is the wolf hunter, Quent, who knows that wolves still roam. Because of this belief, no one takes him seriously & think of him as a drunken old man. He hunts for the wolves with his companion, Blue.
As you watch the series, you see their triumphs, their losses, their struggles, & encounter new allies & enemies. There are several twists here & there, & an ending you won't forget!

Wolf's Rain, a truly awesome anime. Sadly, it's no longer shown on television. (Thank goodness for DVDs!)

an extremely good anime produced by BONES who also made cowboy bebop. its about 4 guys (kiba, hige, toboe, and tsume) who take on human forms to hide that they are wolves. the story takes place 200 years after wolves have gone extinct, and the main character, kiba, is looking for the lunar flower maiden (cheza) to lead him and his friends to paradise. but the villian (darcia) keeps her in his lab so he can open his own paradise and get rid of the wolves. a woman (cher) and her ex-husband (hubb) took cheza to the lab in the first place.
