werewolf is still a very popular creature in the supernatural type, especially as a powerful enemy of the more mysterious vampire. This metaphor is also reflected in the anime, where the supernatural elements of the anthropomorphic wolf monster are integrated into stories full of dynamic, comedy and visually appealing. It is interesting, however, that some anime not only has crazy unique stories, but also attempts to explore various types of stories in surprising ways.
In this work that subverts tradition, it includes a unique interpretation of the werewolf myth. Some anime use werewolf as part of video games or student groups, while some werewolf are even genetically bred to serve the vampire owners.
Cross and Vampire
For the family of the protagonist Aono Tsukito , letting him enter a school full of monsters is a very dangerous gamble, especially because it is a school specially created to help monsters live in peace with humans. Yueyin must always be vigilant, because once a monster is discovered by a human on campus, she may be "killed and silenced". Although he became friends with the heroine Akaya Moeka (Vampire), the supporting role Moriki Yinying is also very interesting.
Moriqiu Silver Shadow may be considered the only werewolf in the story, showing many of the werewolfs that should have, such as appearance and relative physical strength. The subversion of this myth is that the werewolf in "The Cross and the Vampire" is not very mysterious, but is quantified. The relative strength puts them at the S-level combat power level, and their comprehensive combat power can be comparable to vampires. Compared with the more mysterious images of werewolf in previous myths, the werewolf in the anime is more "tangible" and "quantitative".
Overlord
A more surprising twist in the werewolf theme or myth is not just their characteristics, but their nature as a whole. In the anime Overlord, werewolfs are called human wolf, and they are a rare monster in the YGGDRASIL game. In fact, they are indeed very rare. The protagonist Ainz and the guild have only encountered a werewolf named Lupus Regina Beta .
In the game, werewolf have similar characteristics to their fictional similarities, because part of the game is based roughly on the real world. Werewolfs are known to be almost invulnerable creatures unless they are used to deal with them with silver weapons. What's even more interesting is how werewolfs are classified as alien races and beasts, which means they have all the attributes of such creatures in the game. In fact, the werewolf was reduced to a "game creature" in Overlord, which adds a lot of fiction to the myth.
Monster King Girl
In most horror settings, the existence of werewolf means that there are other supernatural creatures there, and this is exactly what the Monster Kingdom represents in "Monster King Girl". When the protagonist Hikaru Mihiro dies after saving a young woman from a car accident, he finds himself "resurrected" to serve that man - Hime, one of the heirs of the Monster Kingdom. Unfortunately for Mihiro, he is involved in the war between Hime and her siblings for inheritance.
However, in the unique character lineup introduced as Ji's friend and guard, Lisa Yeon-Neon, who is not just a werewolf, but a half werewolf. In "The Monster King", the werewolf is stereotyped to maintain the body-enabled self. However, the werewolf in this anime is unique even in mythology. Being a half werewolf can only change her ears and arms - a genetic marker of "insufficient" compared to other werewolfs.
Wolf Rain
The essence of werewolf transformation has always been a topic of debate in the fantasy world, especially whether werewolfs are limited to humans with wolf characteristics, or whether they can completely become complete wolf forms. The latter explores in "Wolf Rain", and wolves disguised as humans live in the doomsday.In "Wolf Rain", it is said that the wolf is the only creature that can find the "Flower of Moon". The girl of the "Flower of Moon" will open the door to the "Paradise" and guide the wolf to the Paradise.
Although the wolf pack is almost extinct, the protagonist Wolf Ya and his new wolf companions must bravely explore the world and find Jiesha. The girl of the flower is destined to lead any werewolf who found her to paradise. Unfortunately for Wolf Teeth, they had to compete with the werewolf Kuente Yaton and Darcia, the creator of Jessa. Unlike other werewolf-themed animes, werewolf is the only idea to discover and enter the paradise, adding an almost mythical element to the horror settings of the past.
Vampire League
One of the most exciting things about Vampire League is not only its distortion of the werewolf myth, but also how it tries to go against the vampire myth. In The Vampire Alliance, the current vampire ruler, Queen Mina Chaipesy, has been granted permission to create the Bund, a vampire district that she reveals the existence of vampires to humans. However, Mina must deal with the growing hostility and paranoia of humanity towards vampires and the threat of dissidents in her ranks.
Another indispensable element of the anime is her bodyguard, Akira Digi, who is her werewolf protector. In Vampire Alliance, although werewolfs are still highly evolved wolves, similar to humans and have transformational abilities, they are specifically for vampires. This element undoubtedly limits the number of factions in The Vampire Alliance and will certainly make the vampire the center of the story. However, among the types where vampires and werewolfs are often mortal enemies, vampires control werewolves is undoubtedly a new sight.
Wolf and Spice
Viewers who watch "Wolf and Spice" for the first time may think it is not a werewolf anime, but a fantasy anime, and that's where the anime begins to twist the werewolf type. As a fantasy anime, Wolf and Spice is not focused on swords and magic, but on economy and trade. This anime tells the story of Clarford Lawrence , a young businessman who trades goods around the world and hopes to eventually use his knowledge and experience to build a store of his own.
Lawrence has been not very lucky in recent years, except this time he met a man named Hero, a girl with wolf ears and a wolf tail. Rather than saying that werewolfs are objects of fear, their unique connection to nature makes them the image of the gods. Hero claims to be the "virtuous wolf" in charge of the harvest. As modern trade has caused her followers to abandon her, she decides to leave and explore the world. Although reluctant at first, Lawrence eventually started to bring Hero with her, because her 600-year knowledge reserve had begun to help him make a fortune in trade.
