@Ishitateso clearly this remake has pushed the fanservice one or more tier above the previous anime so maybe we will get some
| @lighthalzen-kun It really hasn't, she's just as naked in the original. She was naked for more of ep 1 in the original. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Pretty ballsy of Lawrence to introduce Holo as his wife. But Holo doesn’t seem to mind. I already love Holo and Lawrence's banter. I think I'm falling in love with Holo's voice. She sounds so majestic yet so cute. |
| Watched these first two episodes back to back, nothing much else to say aside a solid adaptation so far, OG S1 was good at the start, you could see the potential, and then with time there is tons of payoff, so is the remake, I m not gushing or going crazy for what I found. But I m pleased, hopeful, and happy that we are getting 25 eps STRAIGHT! The director of this also directed S2 yes? So this is a "passion" project and from that and my love for the series, I expected at least this much to bring it back from the death, it deserved at least this much respect. So far so good, solid OP1 mainly, if they repeated OP from S1 I wouldn't mind, but this is tasteful enough (good visuals), and I m curious to see what our boy Pekin has been cocking up for this amazing and legendary (IMO) series. |

| @Playcool he directed S1 too, he also said at the time that he was a fan, and yes i'm sure it's a passion (passione, even) project he even directed "maoyu" that is considered the fake spice and wolf, at the time recommended to be watched when you want more spice and wolf-like stuff, so he must really like this "type" of writing (duo of character with good chemistry between them and ambiguous romance) |
 “Read as little as possible of critical or aesthetic works. They are either products of a close-minded spirit, petrified and devoid of meaning in their lifeless hardening, or clever verbal games [...]. Works of art are of an infinite solitude; nothing is worse than criticism for approaching them. Only love can grasp them, keep them, be just toward them. Always give precedence to your own feeling against these analyses, these reviews, these introductions. [...] You must let every impression, every seed of feeling, ripen within you, in the dark, in the inexpressible, in the unconscious, those regions closed to understanding. Wait with humility and patience for the hour of the birth of a new clarity. Art demands of its faithful followers as much as of its creators.” — RAINER-MARIA Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (letter dated April 23, 1903). |
| Holo's eating quickly is very cue but im suprised she has yet to burn her mouth on something |
 |
| He could've said that his sister or just his travelling companion but he jumps the gun and says Holo is his wife. My memory of the og anime was pretty vague but somehow, I remember what Holo said about the church but can't remember anything pertaining to that other merchant. Love the bit about wolfs attacking human and vice versa. Nothing much going on this episode, just take shelter from the rain and a bit of interaction between the two but somehow, I don't feel bored of it. I really love Holo's voice. |
| No need for the wise wolf to see that this "kid" is a crook... Holo is so cute in this episode, sly and cute! |
| Guys focus on the subtitles when watching the episode... DO NOT GET DISTRACTED LIKE I DID!! |
 |
| good chemistry and communication between Holo and Lawrence |
| I'm really liking this show but man, I'm loving Holo. I'm falling hard xD. |
| In the pouring rain, Holo sure is unapologetic being naked in front of Lawrence, and she takes pride in her marten fur, something that still keeps their chemistry alive. As a merchant, Lawrence is quite the knowledgeable one to share with others, and as a "wife", Holo is still adept with her surroundings, though she WILL take advantage of free food every chance she gets. Zheren definitely has the looks of a swindler, but his deal with a large silver coin is hiding something deep within, and Holo knows it all too well other than Lawrence if he decides to plunge on the offer like a merchant, because he is one. The Wise Wolf earning another food fill from this, and having to explore the Church on her own the next morning, she's easily fascinated by the change of the times. Still though, Lawrence takes Zheren's offer to meet at a familiar's merchant place in Pazzio, as the journey continues with a rather precarious wolf joke that Lawrence has experience facing against wolves, and not a good one that almost caused the loss of life. It's the same for Holo, and they're now even. Despite being two worlds apart, both Lawrence and Holo are similar alike. |

| Holo is probably the cutest female main character in this spring season for me. I have a feeling she'd win rewards on anime polls for being best girl or something, but if she doesn't, she's still the best girl for me in this season~ |
| Holo is so lovable |
| Hi !!! |
| Holo is wise indeed. Praise the wise fluff! \o/ |
 |
| this new adaptation's music and aesthetic are relentlessly serene and Holo is looking relentlessly healthy ^_^ |
| Even a wise wolf has to appreciate the value of a cheese covered potato. |
 |
| Seriously wonder why this is voted lower than Frieren. Afaik it’s adapting the superior source material well and visually looks great. Maybe it’s the fan service? Or the fact that this doesn’t feature a stoic granny elf? |
| I remember the corresponding episode in the original dragging on a bit. Didn't feel it here. Guess we're getting an improvement |

| @Animillion The visuals are good, but not quite as great. I'd also guess the subject matter is more accessible |
| Seems like the wise wolf surely can tell in a somewhat accurate fashion when someone's lying. Lawrence might use that to his advantage in those times when he doesn't feel (understandably) aroused. Not quite sure why that kid would like other than to make a profit himself somehow but I guess will see that in the coming episodes. |

| Great synergy between the two! Their discussions come so natural and make some great world building since you know they would have them evn w/o us viewers. Animation is on point and really smooth and overall the show is quite beautiful! |

| Is it gonna get good? |

| Holo smiles are very cute, it's a shame she has to hide her ears and tails. The best part about Holo is that she does things at her own pace. |
