An Anime- GINGA DENSETSU WEED (Silver Fang Legend: Weed)

So hey readers, I hope you guys remember that is blog is originally an english project of mine. Thea teacher doesn't usually specify what to write, but this time, yeah, she did O.o (Hi Ma'am!)

I'm supposed to plan a draft of a classic/modern fable, examples listed: Winnie the Pooh, Donald Duck, Sponge Bob... And they are nowhere near the real deal of this site: Anime. And I GOT IT; modern fables are allowed, and fables are stories about animals, so here I go for an animal anime search XDDD

And after (actually, literally 23 minutes) a few minutes of searching, I found this:

GINGA DENSETSU WEED (Silver Fang Legend: Weed)

 So. Here goes the draft. XD

It is about a dog named Weed (yeah Japanese people and their names...). He is the son of Gin, the great leader of Ohu, leader of the dogs of Ohu to victory in a fight against monstrous bear Akakabuto in the Japanese Alps, ancient Japan.

Weed, the main protagonist, suddenly found that his father was gone, searching for his mate. He then went to search for his father in the Ou Mountains. He became the protector of Ou and its soldiers from danger and threats.

Then came the great Dane Brothers, Hogen and Genba, who plan to create an army and overthrow Gin. When Gin and his close friends John and Akame are found by Hōgen and his troops, Akame escapes to alert Ōu, while Gin, John, and Hiro (a dog loyal to Gin) are taken as hostages. John escapes, but is killed while acting as a diversion for Hiro. Akame locates Weed and explains the situation, prompting him to search for dogs to join Ōu's army. Gin escapes and starts recruiting soldiers. Hōgen, alone after having to mercy kill Genba, launches his attack on Ōu. Weed clashes with Hōgen and is injured, but spirits of dead Ōu soldiers appear to give him strength. Weed defeats Hōgen but chooses not to kill him. Hōgen stumbles away and is found by Shōji Sudou, a policeman whose partner was killed by Genba and Hōgen. Shōji shoots and kills Hōgen.

Later, Weed encounters a dog named Yukimura, and learns that a group of monkeys have been terrorizing the area. Leading them is Shōgun, a vicious baboon that feeds on young monkeys and puppies. Shōgun had previously attacked Yukimura and his family, permanently damaging his adopted father Saheiji. Weed, his comrades, Yukimura, and several rebellious monkeys attack Shōgun and his followers. Yukimura is able to injure Shōgun enough to ensure his death, but dies in the process. Saheiji reveals that Yukimura was Weed's brother: Sakura, too sick to care for all of her children, had given two of her puppies to Saheiji to raise as foster sons.

While Jerome is in Hokkaido, he is captured by a Russian German Shepherd named Victor, who aims to conquer the island. Jerome escapes and alerts Hakurō, a former Ōu soldier who resides in Hokkaidō. Hakurō and several of his sons are attacked and killed by Victor's forces. Gin and Weed go to Hokkaidō, but are unable to defeat Victor's troops. Jerome rejoins the Ōu soldiers with Lydia and Maxim, two subordinates of Victor. Angry at Maxim's betrayal, Victor orders a friend of Maxim, Alam, to kill him. Alam feels an intense regret for following orders, but later learns that Maxim survived. Alam decides to drown Victor by dragging him underwater and entangling him in seaweed. With Victor gone, Lydia chooses to stay with Jerome while Maxim and his remaining subordinates swim back to Russia.

While traveling, Weed meets his other brother, Joe. Joe dislikes Gin for leaving Sakura unattended in the Alps. He is unaware that Sakura had left Ōu under the false impression that Gin was dead, and that Gin had been unaware of Sakura's leaving. Joe explains that a large hybrid bear has attacked and killed his mate, Hitomi. Weed's group joins Joe to defeat the animal. During the battle, GB dies saving Weed, and Weed vows to avenge him. Weed knocks himself and the bear into a river. The bear dies after hitting a floodgate and Weed manages to survive. He returns to Ōu and learns that his mate, Koyuki, is pregnant. Weeks later, she gives birth to four pups. LIfe in Ohu slowly returns to normal.

The ending is happy, but not without tragedy.

That is all about the anime. Thanks for reading.
