  • If you would allow me a moment of sentimentality:
    A little over one year ago, I created my first review. Like most starting out (I would assume), the video came about simply out as a need to voice my opinion given no other outlet to do so. At the time, I wasn’t certain if I’d even make a second review, but here we are, twenty or so videos later, and I have no plans to stop. I realize that at the moment my audience is small (miniscule, in fact), but I don’t mind. I cannot overstate the joy of creating something that is enjoyed by others, even if it be but a single person. That said, I cannot deny that the relatively recent growth in my subscriptions is gratifying in its own right. (It took nearly ten months for this channel to reach 100 subs. The way things are going, it will have gained another 100 in a little over two. Progress!) And with that, I have said all I mean to say, but must give one final thank you to the fans. I recognize and remember each and every one of you since the day you first appeared, believe me. Well, this has gone on long enough, and I can hardly be sure anyone will even read it, so that’ll do it. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

    After 10+ years of watching anime, never interested in Light Novels, thís was the series that left me no choice.
    What a great read it was! Actually still is,.... after the story ended we got treated to a number of volumes with short stories (vol 20 coming up) and a side story (Wolf & Parchment) with the 3rd novel already in the works!
    When up to speed with the LN I'm starting with the manga.....

      Same here, I usually never care about the source materials of the animes I watch. Out of over 200 series I've watched, I checked out 3 manga continuations online. _Spice and Wolf_ is the first one to make me cave in and actually buy the mangas because the story is just that awesome.

    I can't stand the animation not ending properly. So I spent a good money buying all 17 volumes. I think my opinion is biased, but, make sure to read them during holidays. You'll read trough the volumes before you know it.

But i still think that in a world were studios are flat out running out of material to adept a comeback is possible. Season 3 should have a better risk/return ratio then many other projects that get the green light. It not needing much budget for action animation might help it out too :)

    Good review. The only point in which I disagree with you is in the animation. I believe it is enough for what kind of story this one is, its forté standing on the relationship of the characters and their economics adventures. Kara no kyoukai, on the other hand (as with most, if not all, of Nazu's works) rely on impressive action and epic supernatural battles.
    Many years later, but this series is still relevant. As most of you, I bought the novels for I needed to know what happened after the anime's ending.

Man, I tell you h'wut, I TRULY LOVE SPICE & WOLF AND THERE'S NOT A SINGLE DAMN THING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT!!! This series legitimately changed me... Holo literally changed me, some may believe for the better, some not, but all that maters is my belief, and I belive Holo is good for me! #Holoist #wisewolf #thepack

    So spice and Wolf is a capitalist romance fantacy story... I'm intrigued.

  • @YourLocalCopiumDealer
    @YourLocalCopiumDealer 3 роки тому +1

    There aren't that many adult romance anime out there, but this must be one of the best.
    The banter and flirting of the two main characters is excellent writing.
    One of my biggest complaints would be that the merchant and trade business was portraid
    (brace yourselves) superficial.
    What makes the trade guilds so important in europian history is that they gave the serfs
    (slaves of the aristocrats) a way to decide their own destiny, a path to freedom.
    Merchants broke the power-monopoly of the crown and the church with an alternative,
    they laid the foundation for big ideas such as 'capitalism' or 'the american dream'.
    Much like the romance in this anime, the medieval-trade stories has a lot of foreplay,
    but never gives you the climax you need.
    I did enjoy it though, even if it gave me romance-blueballs.
    Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more adult romance story.

    I love the characters and the opening but I can't stand what the show is based around. Economics. I'm sorry it's just so uninteresting and doesn't click with me. I don't mind watching animes that aren't about fighting because I have seen one such as NHK that has no fighting and other romance animes.
