Episode 7 of Spice & Wolf is a DVD only episode that didn't air on TV. The episode count was adjusted from 13 to 12 accordingly. However, renaming the topic for the latest episode to fit into the new frame would cause confusion. So we are changing the episode count back to 13 and will not set the anime to 'Finished Airing' before the DVD-Only episode is out. This seemed to be the best solution, the DVD-only episode will be regarded as Episode 7 so the latest episode until today (Feb 24th 2008) is episode 8. We realize that your list now says you watched 8 episodes when you've actually watched only 7 episodes but this is the lesser of two evils. Ignore it for now. The seperate database entry for the DVD-Only episode will be deleted. Modified by cyruz, 04-01-08, 8:18 AM |

In regards to the sticky posted here...I thought the 'Airing' tag wouldn't be removed until the DVD is released? As far as I know, the DVD wasn't released, but if it was, could somebody tell me? :P Thanks. :) - Vince. Modified by cyruz, 04-01-08, 8:18 AM |

I don't know who changed it. I even left an additional note. It has been un-done, thanks. |

I think you should let people classify it as "completed" because the seventh episode is not important for the story. Thank you.  |

Uhm, it's set as "Completed" now, which is quite bothersome for me since I don't feel I have finished it until I watch episode 7.  |

Gah, I apologize. Some staff members seem incapable of reading. I'll change it again for the fourth time. Merged the topics. Modified by cyruz, 04-01-08, 8:15 AM |

Cyruz and Shiranai provided some good information about this situation in answer to my query in a different forum and I thought it would be useful to have here as well since it cleared up my confusion about this situation. Shiranai said: Because this is a special case. I'm pretty sure there has never been another anime where the creators up and decided that an episode half way through the series would be DVD only. Since there was a preview for it in the previous episode, it still counts as part of the series. Making that episode into an OVA would be too much confusion for anyone who decides to start the series later after the DVD only episode is released. cyruz said: Reading through everything again made me think, the only thing we didn't set this to Completed yet was because the OVA episode is not out, so users don't discuss episode 7 which is actually episode 8. The topic can be created manually anytime though. See, if users update an episode via the '+' on their Animelists, the forum checks topic IDs and then tells the user if a topic has been made about this episode, and if that's the case the users are redirected to that topic if they wish. If we adjust the episode count now, the topic titles won't make sense anymore. Editing them wouldn't work either, then the Discussion Popup on your list would mess things up further. There is still a high chance of people discussing this anime. I do realize this is a special case, and I think I've explained why we acted like we acted back then. We could probably change this entry to completed, but there will be no OVA entry this time around, due to the forum settings connected to this. Once it's out, we will add the special information to the Anime Synopsis, this should be clear enough since everyone who wants to watch the DVD episode will need to know Spice and Wolf and therefore they will need to drop by that page some time. Thanks for the information and clearing up the confusion on this situation. Modified by insomnic, 04-07-08, 12:12 PM |

Yes, as I just said. That's usually how OVA's are handled. We've covered that already. |

...so much fuss over one dvd release personally would have left it as completed and alone and switched it afterwards. things like this happen all the time. Black jack released those lost episodes, Haruhi's episode count was supposed to be out of order, then theres all those 1/2 episodes that get released on dvd (kind of like this one, REC, Steel Angel Kurumi, Tenjo Tenge, etc etc) where they're supposed to happen between episodes 6 and 7 or something... its just a number dunno why its a special case ^_^ dont bother replying jus my 2 cents EDIT: and i just "completed" the show just now which is why im putting in my 2 cents... since the show finished just fine w/o episode 7 i could understand if it was like the last episode but who cares its more than likely a filler ep ^_^ Modified by Ranivus, 04-21-08, 11:50 PM  I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it -- Voltaire |

I guess the dvd-only episode isn't released yet? Or it is released but it hasn't been subbed yet?  |

Edit: I'm likely mistaken on this, it could be released on the third DVD or something. Modified by Sobzob, 05-12-08, 12:24 PM |
