No problem. ^.~ I've seen the anime, but only twice so I still wonder sometimes. I'd agree - they do have physical attributes to their 'human' shadows that contradict the main idea of the 'illusion only'.
After all, Tsume holds and uses a knife in his 'human' visage - and attacks with the knife - putting it to a man's throat at one point in the anime. If he were holding that in his mouth it would be a little redundant, and I don't think he could be nearly so dexterous with it. Plus there's the part where he picks someone (no spoilers) up with his arms - and no bite marks or signs that his physical form is not what it looks like.
I'm *sure* they're supposed to be wolves with human shadows, but there are a few parts in the anime that just don't look that way. Like when Toboe is carrying that 'present' of the fur coat in his arms - not in his hands (which would be his mouth or teeth), but in his arms. He couldn't do that if his physical form were that of a wolf because he can't walk on his hind legs if his front paws are wrapped around something.
Yeah - there are just a few times when the anime doesn't seem to quite 'match' with the idea of them only having shadows of 'human' forms. But they're still supposed to be wolves masked as humans - which some people can see through if they look hard enough.
