Wolf’s Rain leaves us with the kind of ending that drives many people nuts. Nothing is explicitly tied up, bunches of things are inferred, and we have to go fish back through the entire show to try making sense of it. But I will hazard that the underhanded message is that the world we see at the very end, which bears a remarkable resemblance to the present day, is Paradise. Or, more properly, Paradise-moving-on.
( Spoilers for the ending, which may only make sense if you have seen the ending. )
