Okami no monsho is a based off the manga "Wolf Jack" by Kazumasa Hirai (8man). I wish the print I have was subbed or dubbed. I could tell what was going on but then again not really so sure. What we can make out without translation makes me want to track down a subbed copy badly! Akira Inugami's family is gunned down in Alaska as he watches in horror. Wonderful cinematography of snowing mountains and german shepherds pretending to be wolves. Excellent beginning song about Wolf Guy. Years pass and Akira enters Highschool. It's a manga or anime come to life! The classmates are violent and apear to be in some cult headed by one very tall and deep voices student who carries a kitana. Akira fights these guys a lot, but gets his butt kicked alot. It seems Akira doesn't know how to fight. Akira transforms into both a wolf man and an actual wolf, ripping people's throats out as blood spurts forth everywhere. Yes, this film is pretty bloody. Akira's love interest is his shapely teacher who herself gets her clothes ripped off and chained to a post and gets beaten, but this is typical violent Japanese storytelling. Finding info on this movie is quite hard and finding info about Wolf Guy's also hard. Even without subs or dubs, this movie's worth checking out to complete your Toho collection or live action anime collection. Either way this movie's worth a look.
