Wolf's Rain - Season 1 (2003)

The new pack travels across the harsh terrain, their destination still undetermined. Tempers flare, and Tsume wanders away from the pack. Toboe goes to find him, but the land they've stumbled upon presents more danger than they ever thought possible.

After traveling for days on end, Kiba picks up the faint scent of Lunar Flowers. Where it leads them is not a Paradise, but just another broken city filled with wolves who have given up on Paradise. What cruel reality awaits them in this forsaken town?

Zari realizes that his clan has slowly distanced themselves from him and wonders if he was wrong to sell his companions to the humans of the town.

The wolves have left the tunnel and are once again searching for paradise. Cheza jumps from Darcia's airship to escape and meets the wolves. Meanwhile Cher and a group of soldiers are looking for Cheza.

A sweet song followed by sweet dreams. The pack has a proper sleep since their journey began. But when the day starts again, they must find a way to get back on their trek and protect Cheza. But who is that strange figure following them?

The pack investigates the town for a way out, but it is swarmed with those looking for them. As they search, Cheza encounters Blue and tells her she has wolf in her. Though true to her master, Blue takes off when she is attacked by a guard.

The pack takes their trek through the Forest of Death, a place feared by the humans. As they wander hungry and tired, Hige and Tsume go after a mysterious owl. But will this talking avian lead them out or lead them astray?

Darcia has Cheza once again, and the pack is left beaten under the full moon. But not everything goes Darcia's way when he returns to his castle. The pack takes time to heal, unaware of the storm brewing on the horizon, and encounters a familiar face.

Hubb and Quent are still traveling together, searching for Cher and Blue respectively. When they get to the next town Hubb finally finds Cher but she tells them that they must all travel to Darcia's keep or all may be lost.
