Great to get back to the series, it was a well made first episode continuing where first season left off, so it should be just as good =]

Man, looks like some kid fell for Horo. Not that I blame him though xD

Awesome first episode! I missed Horo a lot, and her momemts with Lawrence. They both have problems of their own, but I think they should just speak up and say they don't want to break apart -o-.

Also, great quote there, Lawrence. "I don't just carry boring stuff. You're on my wagon too, right?"

Good first episode for the season. It's always heartwarming to see the innocent flirting that goes on between Lawrence and Horo, great character chemistry.

While watching this it was like an actual continuous flow from the previous series. Which i must say i was quite nervous whether or not it would still have the same feel when i watched the ova beforehand. I'm glad that they stuck with the same formula that made the first series such an extraordinary and loveable one with the prime focus on horo and lawrence's relationship.

Is this the first time we heard of the name of Horo's home village? It feels like totally new information, but it could just be a bad memory on my part.

Yea, that would be bad memory on your part :p
Though it is the first time we've heard of the neighboring village's names. I'm sensing a hot-springs S&W episode eventually >.< I'm not sure I want to see an attempt like that with this animation style.

As for the episode, yay for more Horo/Lawrence flirting, and I laughed at the boy blushing at Horo. Add one more to the pile of guys saying she's nice looking lol. Hopefully we'll see more of him. Wish we would see more of Nora, but she's been left behind I guess.

The sound carried on it same feel from the first season, but I didn't like the new op/ed. Pictures were good, songs were a bit stale compared.

Still the cuteness of the original, I'll look forward to the next one ^_^

Should it be sad now that twice in a season I've been glad that subs scrolls by to quickly for me to process?

After watchingthe episode, it really feels like it's only been a day or two since they aired the first season. The medievel theme, fitting background music and the chemistry between Horo and Lawrence from season one were all brought into season two.
Also the new characters seem promising in bringing interesting plot and interactions between the characters. Also, the dream that Horo's been having, along with the possibility of her home town being destroyed also guarantees that there will be something to look forward to.

All the things good about the first series were present in that episode. Horo and Lawrence looked good together with all the small bickering. And the minor amount of economics talk always interests me.

Great introduction, just like the first season, and the direction and animation are far, far better than first season too, so it's all good for me. Seems like we have one of (if not the) best anime of the season there.

I don't like the OP/ED as much as the first ones though, even if they are still good.

What are exactly the differences now that this season is made by Brains Base? At least I didn't noticed much, so I'm glad. Anyhow, nice beginning. Go Horo. Koshimizu-san did a great job this episode. ^^ Fermi is cute.

Agreed. After watching the OVA that was released earlier this year by the new studio producing season 2 there was a little too much "fluffy-lovey-lovey" crap without that tension brought about between Lawrence and Horo. I am glad that this episode definitely touched on all of the aspects that made the first season great.

Plus with the some new characters introduced I would like to see how this all plays out

I guess that seems reasonable. Wait, Horo's human form is 15? She's seems so much older! Eh, I guess that's her personality that makes her seem older.

Horo why so cute o////o

Animation was good! If I didn't know they changed producers for this season, I wouldn't have really noticed :3 I do miss Tabi, though I'm liking this ending a lot more :D

I love the chemistry between Lawrence and Horo, and the "tension/problems" building up between them seem interesting too. The new kid is cute, but I don't want to see Horo together with anyone other than Lawrence! Plus, he looks too young.

Can't wait for episode 2, this season looks promising!! <3

Keep in mind Horo is over 700 years old since she is a wolf deity. Hence why she calls herself the wise old wolf and acts so much older. ;)

Its just speculation on her human form age though, but most will mark her in the 15-20 year old rank since I don't believe that her human age is ever referred to at all and it is based purely on her character designer's choice in body structure.

^Not just you.

Glad S&WII started; the new OP isn't bad too. It was a nice episode, and it was funny how Horo acted so well with that blondie. ED isn't great though, oh well.

Hope we'll get a great new season :]

Well her human form can't be past 20 anyway, she's got no boobs : o almost
not that it really matters though, Horo is Horo : D

Excellent episode as expected from Spice and Wolf series.
I loved how Brain Base paid attention very well to the setting and added details to the scenery. The backgrounds looked beautiful.
The voice acting is the best I've heared for this season so far.
I felt bad for Holo at the end because to Lawrence, their relationship is nothing but a deal that ends once Holo returns back home which is quite untrue because he has feelings for her but he's yet to admit it. The mention of trading guilds reminded me of labor law course.
