TLDR: If you like animes which revolve around animals(especially dogs), where they fight for a just cause in a cruel world, and you can see friendship, humanity, betrayal, lots of character development, and other similar themes, then I recommend this action filled anime to you. But let's dig a bit deeper.
Story:
The storyline is continuous, each episode builds on the previous ones. And because this is a sequel it even builds a lot onto the prequel anime, Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. However, it's not a problem if you haven't seen that one first, because this anime will tell the basic things which you need to know in order to understand who is who in the story.
It could be said that the plot is pretty simple, there is the Big Bad, and the protagonists have to defeat him to bring peace. At first…

This is overall one of my favorite anime, but this review is still my opinion. Please respect that without further ado. Please mind if there are any grammatical errors. I'll try to keep it a little brief though.
Story: (9)
I loved this original story for Ginga Densentsu Weed. Like how life goes, there are events throughout the show that draws the characters a little off corse. But there aren't so much where the characters are blinded to what their main goal is. Like many shounen anime, there will be various fight scenes. Bloodshed, bruises, and the tension of the battle field. There was never a time in the anime did I think "is it done yet?"
Art: (7)
Dogs and wolves, what an interesting idea. The dogs' movements sometimes look a little wonky. Especially when you see the backs of them a…

The series was good, no doubt and it does make a fair watch for all those watchers who are into animal-related anime series. The plot is a strong one, owing to the sequence followed in the manga; unlike the anime version where focus has been laid on only a part of the actual story.
The series carries a number of criticisms, a few of which are:
- The characters from the prequel have been showed to have deteriorated a lot.
- The present characters aren't of that strong framework.
- The reason why Hougen waged the war against the Ohu still remains unclear.
- The emergence of Genba is abrupt and absurd.
- The leader, Gin - who defeated a BEAR gets beaten down by a BUNCH OF DOGS, miserably.
- The death of Hogen has been shown in the anime while in the manga, Hogen is shot by a police officer.…

Okay, this has got to be the greatest sequel i have ever seen. And it's prequel, is in my top 3s right along with this one. I actually started with this one when watching the series, but as soon as i realized there was a series before this one, (Ginga Nagareboshi Gin) i stopped at episode 2 and watched the whole first series, then i continued this one after about at most, a week after finishing the first one. I was totally impressed with the difference in art, and sound, (then again these were made 20 years apart, and it did bother me that they changed the look of tthe dogs from the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, which had a change in color, and slight change in patterns on some of the dogs) but it didn't stop me from watching it at all, i was once again sucked into the story and I enjoyed it just…

I'll be honest here. Even tho GDW is newer than GNG I still think that GNG is animated better. I think you all have seen those GDW animation fail pics and if you haven't you really should check some out.
First few episodes are well made but then in some point it seems that animating gets a bit different. I can't really explain it so you should really see it by yourself.
GNG and GDW share some same characters like Akame,Smith and John.
Even tho I didn't like animating at some points the story is emotional and just simply awesome. I know GDW has kinda like same plot as GNG but tyrannical bear was just changed to huge dog.
I've watched this anime many times and I own the completed series box but anyway I prefer manga version and GDW manga story actully goes further than anime.

Story is fair enough and it won't ruin the enjoyment of this anime! Drama on this series is so beautiful it made me cry! I cry every time i watch Ginga Densetsu weed, there have been only few anime that have made me cry for the beautiful story/drama. Weed is a young pup of the ohu leader Gin and he have to save his dad from Hougen, Weed encounters many situations where he's dear friends will die and make you guy's CRY!! Weed do learn the leadership on the way to save his dad and learns the value of the friends that support him, Weed sympathize enemies and enemies cry for his kindness... There was few scene that made me want to puke for the foolishness of Weed. I never do read Reviews for the anime i feel like for watching but if u do read this then u are doubtful about this anime series an…

My god I remember watching this back in 2007. This was seriously the most fun I've had watching a 26 episode anime.
The story is really interesting, it has two parts to it. The first part is about some lab experiment gone wrong in Japan that results in a half dog half lion creature that kills a bunch of the lab dogs, but befriends a german shepared who apperes later in the show. Its pretty weird and has nothing to do with the actual main story, except introduce the german shepard character and his strange past.
The second part is more about the akia dog Weed, and how he finds out that he's the son of the legendary bear killing dog, Gin. Weed goes on a journey to find his dad and on the way meets many other dogs before becoming their leader. Weed and co. encounter two evil great dane br…

My first anime was Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, and it was so great, i was curious about it's sequel. But after a few episodes: killing the most prev. characters in meaningless death, and Weed become the reincarnation of Gin by mastering his fathers attack only by instinct, not to speak about the Final. With Gin I've really felt the anger and rage against an opponent, but in Weed...
I just pray that the - hopefully - upcoming anime about Riki would be better then the first two, or at least better then this one.

Ginga Densetsu Weed is not as good as Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. First of all, Weed was much to soft. As example, every time John and Lector came back for him, he would let them go. Now, there are times to kill and times to spare - but Weed was way to soft. In Weed's defense, many say: "Oh, well hes just a puppy!" but think about this, Gin was only two-three weeks when he was faced with Akakabuto and his destiny, yet he took it head-on and did a very good job with facing his enemies. Yes, Weed is very smart and powerful for such a young dog, but he needs to learn more. Perhaps it will come with expirance.
However, the animation for the Anime was absolutly horrible. Such as, in Episode #2 - almost everything looked like a box or out of proportion.
The manga was well-drawn, at the least.

Edit: After I re-watched this series, I have decided to re-review Ginga Densetsu Weed. I realize that I wasn't in the best of moods while writing my previous entry and now I'll write this review with a more... Level head.
Ginga Densetsu Weed is the sequel to Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. Both share a few of the same characters and the like. Ginga Densetsu Weed, however, is much newer (having been made in 2005 while Ginga Nagreboshi Gin being made in 1986). However, being relatively new does not automatically make it great, but GDW might be worth looking into since there is an extreme lack in dog anime out there (that aren't cute anyway).
Yes, Ginga Densetsu Weed has comedy scenes, but this is no Massugu ni Ikou (A rather overly-cute dog anime). GDW is an action anime, with cannibal dogs, assass…

This anime was probably one of the best 26 episode series I have ever seen. The story line, characters, they were all made carefully and actually had me crying during things like deaths, and betrayals. If you are looking for a new anime to watch this would defiantly be the anime to watch.
The art was good but I think the way they moved their mouths and some of the actions done could have been a bit better. But that shouldn't affect the overall Storyline and the overall of this action packed anime. Throughout the whole series it had me starring at the computer screen, I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
So if you enjoy action, a bit of blood, a deep storyline, as well as even just dogs. This is an anime you should watch.
