Hello, new and returning viewers! So, if you didn't know already, Wolf Song is a webcomic now! You can read it here: www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/red-wolf/list?title_no=492070 I'm trying to update it on a monthly basis, but sometimes it updates whenever I can manage. I've been trying my best to keep myself consistent with it despite having a full-time job ^^; If you'd like to support me, be up to date on my projects and read new chapters a day before they're public for as little as $1, you can do so over on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/danydarkly That's all, thanks again for watching! And thank you for inspiring me to expand this story :>

I feel like that at the end he's just like "Sh*t, I killed another one"

Red hair, hand-down clothes..... She must be a Weasley

Found this when i was 13 and years and years after that it was found again, I still love it. Edit: thank you so much for the likes haha didn't expect that

I hope you know that for at LEAST a few years now this has been my favorite animatic and I always somehow find my way back here.

The moral of the story is.......NO CAPES!!

50% of people in this comment section: Golly that wolf sure is rapey The other 50%: THAT WOLF IS HAWT

This shaped my personality in middle school and I'm proud of it

What I always founds strange was that it was in Grimm's version of the story that the Huntsman rescues her and her grandmother whereas it was in Perrault's version that she gets eaten. Here I'm especially thinking of the morale at the end of Perrault's version, where it warns us that it's the charming, courteous wolves that are always the most dangerous.

My ship was pretty good... ...until the Fire Nation attacked.

The Wolf Song is based on Red Riding Hood because the original story is about how a girl is becoming a woman - so her mum finally lets her go to her grandma's on her own. The red cloak is meant to show her becoming an adult because it symbolises menstruation. The wolf is a strange man who wants to sleep with her and the story is about how not to trust strange men especially when you just start puberty. That is what the song is about because it is based on the classic fairytale. He is not in love with her, it is not love

Hi yes hello Thank you for watching my very old animatic and for your interest in these characters, as well as sharing your interpretations. I'm honestly amazed that this thing has been viewed as much as it has, I don't think I'll ever be over it tbh I've gotten (and still get) a lot of comments asking for a sequel or suggesting that Wolf Song should be a comic. Well, good news! Not only have I been working on a fully-animated prequel video, but I'm also working on a comic based on Wolf Song. Those who keep up with me on social media have been mostly aware of this, but I figured I should post this info here for those new or returning viewers that may be interested in more of, well, this. If you would like to be more in the know and maybe also support these projects so I can get them out to you all sooner, I urge you to please check out my patreon page. I've been trying to do this on my own for the past year or so and it's been at a snail's pace, since working on personal projects doesn't pay the bills ovo; www.patreon.com/danydarkly Anyway, I'd really appreciate the support but if you can't that's totally cool. Your patience while I work on completing these projects is also very much appreciated. Stay awesome~

1:37 The wolf: ah yes, your hair smells gud. What shampoo do you use? Red ridding hood: I- The wolf: never mind lol Also lesson of the day: If your grandma conveniently lives near a forest，either take a gun with you or stay with her for the night. Also don’t wear Long ass capes.

3:00 I CAN'T be the only one who thought "No capes!" Tell me you get it- PLEASE tell me you get it!

4:47 werewolf guy: “dang it, this is the third one this week!”

*cape trips her* top 10 anime betrayals.

Show this to a friend, asking her opinion: "Do you think he killed her in wolf form or... took her v card as 'human'?" Her: "What if he took her v card in wolf form?" Me: "You just made me have more questions now, dammit!"

found this when I was probably 9 or 10 years old. And I fell in love with it right on the spot. I loved it SO deeply. But then I lost it... and I've been searching on and off thought out MANY MANY years. And today! I have finally found it!! I have no words to express how my heart feels, to have finally found something that I had loved so deeply that I had lost. Finding it and watching reminded me of how my life used to be before life hit. It reminded me of me before foster care. 💖💖 Thank you SO MUCH for creating this. 🥰 EDIT: THIS HAS A WEB COMIC NOW???? AHHHHH

Me: *Sees ending that could have many interpretations based on analytical and physical experiences* Brain: *Catches on fire*

Listen to the lyrics closely... He wants her to eat but also loves her. It's pretty sad, so many mixed emotions.

Me:so what’s your favorite animal? Crush:oh!wolfs! Me:

Her cape was the death of her

I'm just going to say it I find the guy attractive k i'll go now...

I found this back in 2015, and I just stumbled upon it again. I still get shivers.

Me low key shipping them 😘

So basically what I believe happened is that the girl actually did die after her wrist got cut. (I'm stubborn, and I really wanted to know what happened, so after some research and planning, I found out this) So basically, the wrist has two arterys on both sides. One is called the Radial artery the other is called the Ulnar artery. If he had pierced her in the middle of these two artery the chance of death would be lower. But since his claws pierced both sides, it means he would have cut both her arterys (which would be a definite death sadly.) Also another thing I thought I'd mention is; when he was still in his human form it showed him change positions from close to her neck (holding her wrists), then closer to her face (intertwining his fingers between hers). The lyrics talked about 'your final kiss belongs to me' so thats what I'm guessing he was planning to do, judging by his expression (if ya know what I mean 😏). But since the scene after showed the full moon, that probably signified that was the reason why he ended up changing forms and killing her, since it wasn't in his control. The memories shown after were to show just how much he really was intrigued and interested by her, but after the memories, it showed time in the present after he had turned back to human, he realized what he had done, and dropped her hand knowing she was gone. The last scene showed him looking up at the moon probably heart broken, that no matter what, he couldn't be with the girl he loved. 😢♥ The last thing I thought I'd mention is the fact that he keeps mentioning crimson and a variety of different reds. Yes, crimson basically means red, BUT since he kept repeating 'crimson river from your veins, crimson river soothes my pain' it might mean that just like a dog can't see the color red, the wolf might not be able to see himself finding love, or in his case 'understanding love' causing his pain. 💞😔 OK I know this comment is really hella long, but I swear this is the last thing; when the lyrics sing 'puella lupo inferno interfecto est' it means the girl was killed by the hell wolf, BUT 'my red right hand' actually refers to the vengeful hand of god (according to Milton) meaning her death would be avenged by him. Okie, if you read through this whole comment, then I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and wish you a wonderful rest of your day 💖💐 ~ 2 year later Update: I just wanted to thank you all again for 2.1k likes, that’s absolutely amazing, and I’m so happy that you guys liked my theory! I still really adore this animatic, so I’m happy to have poured my heart out into my analysis. Also thank you to anyone who made additional contributions to my theory, I’m always happy to hear other people’s opinions on this story :)

Red "you're sending me mixed signals. Do you want to date me or kill me" Wolf "........" Edit: holy shit, this blew up?? XD I wasn't expecting it to, but yall are really funny!

Ok so you mean to tell me that when I tried to find this for years, nothing popped up, but when I open UKposts it decides to just pop up in my recommendations. No biggie, I'm just happy I can watch it again. :3

Im shocked and happy to see that im not the only one that discovered this when I was a kid and remembered it years later 😂💓

At the end I just want the wolf to start singing “Oops I did it again “ it would fit perfectly!

And this is why we.dont trust cute guys we randomly find In the woods

I remember watching this in school and the teacher walked behind me at the 3:35 part I almost died that day 😂

Every time a new chapter of the webtoon comes out I come back to watch this. I've been invested in this story for seven years. I'm so excited!!

the face at the end "Fuck, another girlfriend dead. damn it Bill." (bill cause he remiinds me of a cipher)

I shipped these too, until that fateful moment he killed her. so the lesson we learnt was never fall in love with a wolf man DAMNIT WOLF BOY.!!!!!!!

Okay so i never really invested in Red Riding Hood that much but what it seems like to me is that the the village has the wolf in the woods and it wants girls at certain times in maybe certain years and so in a way to protect The Village when the year and time comes around they pick a certain girl around the right age and then sends her into the wood to be a sacrifice to the wolf and for him to do anything to her even kill her, and they put the red cloak on the girls to show that they're of age and are virgins now what i think is that shes not dead, I think that this actually is a love thing I think that he fell in love with this girl and then it kept her and what I think that shocked face is this is that I think he might have turned her into a werewolf since he had his claw in her wrist and his face was right by her neck he may have bit her, then turned her so she can be with him forever, and also that big red pedal I don't think that's blood it is her Red Cloak because we all saw that he took it off of her and I don't think he would have took it out from underneath of her and threw it somewhere cuz that would just be a waste of time and also can't you see that in the last picture at 4:49 he is sitting on her knees, her knees would have gave out if she was dead and especially since there is weight on them I think that she is alive and he keeps her alive and he doesn't take anymore sacrifices from the village and just keeps her.

Okay, so here's my take on this entire thing-i'll leave a bit of a trigger warning here, since the subject does contain the theory of sexual assault. The red cloak she wears symbolises her maturity as a growing woman, the bright red color resembling menstrual blood, but it could also mean her purity and virginity, yet underneath that cloak she is still somewhat naive, considering she took the wolf's hand in the beginning, not because he essentially enchanted her, because she didn't recognise the sheer danger she was in until it was too late. The wolfman and how he continues to mention the red features of the female states that she is new and fresh to him, he is intrigued and curious since most canines can't recognise the color red, so in his human form her shocking red cloak attracts him, it can also be her purity and overall naivety that attracts him, more so her virginity. The forest represents the open world, in the flashbacks we see red riding hood given the basket of goods to take to her grandmother's house, this task represents her going off into the real world, more so she becoming an adult and experiencing becoming an adult. The wolf looms said woods because he's used to living in them, he can navigate them, or even more so, navigate the world or the city streets, another reason why he may be so attracted to her is because she isn't yet used to the woods, she's an easy target. Her tripping over her red cloak basically resembles the idea is that she wasn't ready to leave the nest in the first place. We can only assume that she wasn't taught how to exactly care for herself when alone and about, so her own curiosity in the wolf man essentially led to her doom, that curiosity and childlike nature in the cloak. In the end where he's looming over her said corpse and he has a look of regret on his face is him coming to realise what type of monster he's become, I tend to believe he raped her, he stole her virginity, tore her red veins and the red cloak like he tore her-well, hymen. Thank you for reading this, I am sure that it will get flagged, but I don't mind.

THIS NEEDS TO BE AN ANIME sorry...

this is why you do not wear a long-ass cloak and its color sticks out like a neon pink light in blackouts

When I watched this I was speechless for a solid minute then all I could say was “nifty”.

I never realized the trees have sad faces at 4:10.

I swear this wolf is colorblind

Is wrong that I think the human wolf is hot (I love his smirk)

I remember watching this repeatedly when I was like 13/14 and I just randomly remembered it now, still love it!

I KNEW I DIDNT IMAGINE THIS IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND IT FOR 2 YEARS

Little red riding hood gone Phantom of the opera

My shipping instincts took over..... Until he killed her😑 Cause he's a wolf..... DAMMIT that ship was beautiful

Well... I still can't believe that it was made 5 years ago xD I'm watching it for a year now and I still LOVE IT!!

Hmm Im confused if this is a Love Story or a Murder or Both...

3:01 NO CAPES!

Her: *lets self die* Me: *dates the wolf*

I remember that 5 years ago I was obsessed with this video xd That little 8 year old girl watched this video a lot of times a day and made drawings of it :"3

Finally, after all these years I re-found this

I wish this was made into a anime or something...like a Anime movie or serise...is it just me who thinks that????

Basically his breath was so bad when he breathed too close to her mouth it gone down her throat and infected her lungs in such a manner that she collapsed thanks to her body being weak with pneumonia

I remember watching this when I was younger. It randomly came into my mind. I saw the creator made a COMIC. Binged it last night and wow. It was like next level nostalgia.

*Im so addicted to this masterpiece*

Better love story than twilight anyone?

That was an amazing animation, i love this guy 😂 He's so mysterious, and his final face is like "Fuuuuuuck... again?"

That wolf guy can bite me i don’t mind-

I went to the comic expecting something dark like the animatic and instead I got my favorite specific kind of ship guilt pleasure this is GOOD 😭😭😭

And that kids is how I met your mother

Many ask of she was killed or not, and this animatic leaves it sort of open to interpretation. However I really listened and read the lyrics carefully and I gathered that this is about a mercy kill. She's been abandoned by her family, heart broken, cold and alone. An animal of instinct and unjudging nature discovers her. Undoubtedly he is lustful and lonely himself, however is too wild to properly love her. "Take thy red hand and set me free." Transfixed by the man's charm and also scared she in the end loses the will to fight. The wolf is confused, a mate or an easy meal... the hunger wins the fight and he delivers her death to end the pain. It appears that he hates his nature after the deed is done and mourns over the body before close. I guess it could be sad. But at least she's at peace.

Yall I got lucky, I watched this 4 years ago and finally remembered it again

two words. a masterpiece.

I don't think that the wolf killed her. Since he's a werewolf, due to him being half wolf, he was hungry (which wolves usually are during winter) but his human side loved the girl romantically. So basically the human and the wolf inside of.. well the wolf, are having a controversy. The wolf's hunger was winning over humanity bit by bit, which drives him to start to hunt hunt or chase the girl. Then his humanity flashed, what I believe are memories of him and the girl, which drove him to stop trying to kill her. The reason she's lying like that is because she's shocked due to the near death experience. The wolf realized, "Shit, what the hell am I doing?!" And stopped what he was doing.

*i think I broke the replay button*

*I love this video so much I been watching this video for a whole week everyday something about them to just makes feel something I never felt like sadness and nostalgia and the vibe makes me feel safe*

I love how this is still getting loved after 9 yrs :D still a beautiful animatic which made me cry when i was younger

*at the end*.....I actually must take human flirt lessons ;-;

I would have punched that guy from the beginning "CREEPY STALKER!!! I DON'T LIKE TWILIGHT!!!!" and I can't tell if he is a vampire or werewolf?

I love how no one realised the that the Wolf song is a song about a possessive stalker who rapes a girl... And how the video actually fits the metaphor

I was obsessed with this when i was a small child ❤😭

My Theory- This wolf found his mate and to bite her is to mark her, hes in love with her but shes a scared human- he wants to make her happy but she keeps running, his wolf takes over and he accidentally hurts her and he realises he has hurt the one he loves when his human form returns

Stumbling through the winter forest Her feet froze' to the bone The darkness holds no solace So very, very far from home A crimson cloak behind her drags It's torn by thorns and snagged to rags Pity maiden for your folly To venture in these woods alone Mercy lives not in the holly No compassion from the stones Your fear brings tears like summer rain (Oh mother father where are you?) They beg for me to ease your pain (I'm cast adrift what should I do?) My love oh I beseech thee Throw thy cloak aside to feed me Crimson rivers from your veins Crimson rivers feel no pain Your long red hair ensnares me Your warm red blood it calls me My red right hand shall take thee home Puella lupo inferno interfecta est [The girl was killed by the hell wolf] Thine eyes betray confusion Am I friend or am I fiend? Pardon me for this intrusion And I'll show you what I mean I've come to claim a heart from thee (My heart is broken can't you see?) Your final kiss belongs to me (Your scarlet kiss will set me free) My love oh I beseech thee (Wandering alone) Throw thy cloak aside to feed me (Far away from home) Crimson rivers from your veins (Forest of the damned ) Crimson rivers feel no pain (Drowning in the land) Your long red hair ensnares me (Sinking like a stone) Your warm red blood it calls me (Lost and so alone) My red right hand shall take thee home (I cannot find my way back home…) Puella lupo inferno interfecta est [The girl was killed by the hell wolf] Playing the obedient daughter Brought you where the wolf bane blooms Sacrificed in sacred slaughter 'Neath the pale light of the moon Your form lies wreathed in ruby red (The crystal snow my wedding bed) A scarlet halo round your head (The scarlet halo of the dead) My love oh I beseech thee (Wandering alone) Let thy rivers flow to feed me (Far away from home) Crimson rivers from your veins (Forest of the damned ) Crimson rivers feel no pain (Drowning in the land) Your long red hair ensnares me (Sinking like a stone) Your warm red blood it calls me (Lost and so alone) My red right hand shall take thee home (I cannot find my way back home…) My love oh I beseech thee (Wandering alone) Let thy rivers flow to feed me (Far away from home) Crimson rivers from your veins (Forest of the damned ) Crimson rivers feel no pain (Drowning in the land) Your long red hair ensnares me (Sinking like a stone) Your warm red blood it calls me (Lost and so alone) My red right hand shall take thee home (Thy red right hand shall take me) My red right hand shall take thee home (Thy red right hand shall take me) My red right hand shall take thee home (Thy red right hand shall take me...) My red right hand has brought thee home (…Home…)

What I got from this was: He meets a girl, manipulates her, takes her v card, he regrets it after seeing how she feels

It’s been like three years since I last watched this

I've watched this four times in a row. Someone send help. (This is amazing!)

I've watched this like a thousand times! I love it! I feel kind of sad for the 🐺 cause he shows conflicting attitudes, he wants to protect her but he keeps saying that her blood calls him. hmmmmmm.... very thought provoking. Amazing animation! Thanks for this inspiration.

Om gosh i haven't heard this for so long im glad i found it!!!

After he killed her he just sits there. Idk it cracked me up a bit. His expression was less "My red right hand has brought thee home" and more of a "oh come on. Again? Really? I murdered a woman AGAIN?! uggggh"

As she tripped on her cloak I had one single voice echo in my head, "NO CAPES!!!"

Anyone else getting flashbacks to diabolik lovers.... no ... just me.. okay

I was 12 years when I watched it and now I'm 15 and still watching it . I love it💖🖇

Props to the animator this shits insane

I dont know who they are but I kinda shipped them

It would have been a different story if she didn't go on a full moon

the wolf was handsome bruh😂😂is that weird? the girl is even blushing

I feel like I've assisted a stalking and a rape that ended in the death of the victim. This song is marvelous and touching, the animation is so fitting and makes me cry thinking about all the young girls who have encountered horrible men in their lives. I watched this animation when I was a teenager, I'm glad to watch it again after several years.

Ok so some ppl are saying the wolf is colorblind cause he’s a dog (well canine) but that’s not actually true, dogs can see most colors, except red or green, so the question is..why does he keep saying crimson? My theory is, seeing as when he’s a wolf he can’t see red, the color is very noticeable and strange to him, and when he’s a human, he finds himself attracted to it. Yup I’m over analyzing again. xD

the wolf guy looks like human bill cipher in a way

He reminded me of Alastor from the hazbin Hotel.

I think I was 13 when I watched this video. Now I'm 18 but still love it so much ❤️Thanks for creating this💋✨

*His friend comes around the corner to see the bloody scene* GOD DAMMIT PHIL! ANOTHER ONE?

when the wolf face popped up ( 4:22 ) i started cracking up because all i could think of was insanity wolf.

The last time I saw this I was 10 and I’m 18 now and just found it omg the memories ❤❤❤

Watching this makes me feel like an English teacher.
