Ookami to Koushinryou II: Ookami to Kohakuiro no Yuuutsu

I enjoyed this OVA aired and (presumably) taking place before season 2, it doesn't contain much plot and can be described in a few sentences, but I think it's just meant to be enjoyable, which it was. My favorite parts of it was seeing Holo's perspective of her journey with Lawrence in her dreams. The employment of the four humors, an old medical theory that was made way before the middle ages but was still used then was very interesting to me, and was amusing to find out it was a real concept as I had expected. Aside from Holo getting sick, it can be ... described as a normal Spice and Wolf episode with a slower pace (hopefully I'm using this term correctly) and it's nice to see Lawrence and Holo just living together.

Everything that makes Holo a beloved character is condensed into a 23 minute window. Holo gets jealous, wasted, makes lots of cute faces, makes lots of sad faces, and mixes her immense wisdom with charming snark as is true to her personality.This is exactly what you look for in OVA content - a reminder of why we love characters and putting them into more intimate situations than in the regular anime.

Even if you've never seen the regular anime, and especially if you have, this is a must watch. The complete collection blu ray contains both seasons and this OVA for ~30 somehow, a price so ... affordable you'd think Lawrence bargained for it.

A departure from the TV series. This time around, it focuses on Horo's tsundere dere side to Laurence. However, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have the educational theme of the TV series. We all know how much we love the medieval economics knowledge *sarcasm*.

Animation quality was almost unchanged from the TV series considering that this is an OVA. It's still Spice and Wolf.

It was an enjoyable watch so I gave it a good rating.
