Synopsis

Holo is a powerful wolf deity who is revered in the small town of Pasloe for blessing the annual harvest. Yet as years go by and the villagers become more self-sufficient, Holo has been reduced to a mere folktale. When a traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence stops at the settlement, Holo offers to become his business partner if he takes her to her northern home of Yoitsu. The savvy trader recognizes Holo's unusual ability to evaluate a person's character and accepts her proposition.

Now in the possession of both sharp bargaining skills and a charismatic negotiator, Lawrence inches closer to his goal of opening his own shop. However, as Lawrence travels the countryside with Holo in search of economic opportunities, he begins to realize that his aspirations are slowly morphing into something unexpected.

Preliminary (4/25 eps)
A unique fantasy story, I recommend this anime to anyone who is tired of generic isekai.

If you don't like the topic of economics, the story will captivate you thanks to Holo and her incredible charisma and Lawrence, a mature protagonist who, although he can be strict, can also provide security in key moments. The story is told passively but not Less interesting is its mythology about pagan gods who were once indispensable but now thanks to the influence of the church and its pilgrimage to a single god they have been forgotten and now live hidden among humans.

We also have the story of the hunted ...

(This is an intermediate comment, there may be errors in the text and loss of meaning)

This remake is interesting from the point of view of the approach to creating anime adaptations in different "eras". The history of anime as an industry can be divided into many periods: the golden one is the 90s, when the popularity and demand for Japanese animation began to grow, and it acquired its final formula. Zero - when digital effects were already being used in animation, the format moved to 16:9, and popularity outside Japan increased, largely thanks to the Internet. Tenth, a mass audience has formed, and now there ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (3/25 eps)
Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf is a remake of a 2008 adaptation of the same title. However, this is my first experience viewing any sort of Spice and Wolf media, so this review will be based solely on the first three episodes and won't be influenced by any knowledge of future events in the storyline.

The premise of Spice and Wolf is quite simple. Much like Frieren, which aired last season, it focuses on slow, tensionless adventures as the main characters travel from place to place. Given the protagonist's role as a merchant, a significant portion of each episode delves into explaining various ...
