I hate myself I accidentally clicked hated it instead of loved it 😢. They have been doing Vol 2 so much more justice so far compared to the og. Book 2 is very thick so they of course have to cut out areas. Kinda like how book 1 was 80% of Lawrence in thought and you can notice that in the first 6 ep. This however cuts areas of dialogue that I do agree is unnecessary a lot shorter to make room for the other bits that build the better over arching story as well as let them explore Norah as a character SIGNIFICANTLY more than the original which was my only complaint about the old anime. A key example of this is the ending of ep 2 as they will cut out a LOT of the dialogue between Lawrence and the man in the merchants guild showing it through having a quick clip of them talking but no actually audio coming from them rather another character which was not in the books I will add (not a bad scene tho and very welcome addition). Knowing ep 3 they will probably skip to the important part of that conversation thus by skipping over this unnecessary bit (which I still would have like to seen) it saves them MANY minutes as it takes place for about 7-10 pages of just random dialogue and Lawrence’s observations on reading the room. Overall a smart play to save precious run time for the anime. This is looking awesome so far as vol 2 is significantly better than the first volume imo and same with every volume afterwards (minus 5 I think 5 was aight)… god I’m a nerd over spice and wolf

| hahah! Holo was just jealous against a normal young shepherd girl! 4/5. |

| a quit travel to the city!!!! kekeke |
| Transition episode, but still enjoyable and relaxing, with the next one, troubles begin. The new design of the shepherdess is very cute, I like it. |

| Holo is the most cute girl. I love her so much. She was indeed jealous and yes, the shepherd was also very cute. The little doggo was cute as well and he gave Holo a side eye. Cute. The priest looking at the cute shepherd was kinda creepy. |
 |
| music continues to deliver never disappoints the color palette brought out the ideal rustic beauty of the evening twilight scenes |
| Nora's cute and also a sweet and nice girl. Need more. More trouble coming for Lawrence and Holo it seems. |
 |
| Holo is stunning and already keeps the wolves at bay. So I can see her perspective of being against hiring Nora. Even if she wasn't working as wolves sworn enemy! |
 |
| Nora Arendt's appearance in the remake has been forthcoming, and for the shepherd whom Lawrence requires blessing on his way, she would turn out to be his next biggest asset besides the obvious Holo. But for now, she's just a wandering shepherd with her trusty sheepdog Enek, who wants Lawrence to hire her on the way to Ruvinheigen if there're wolves targeting them, much less unaccounted danger...and the hijinks of a man and woman together. Still, working at an orphanage and becoming a shepherd for 4 years, Nora has always wanted to have a proper job, though Holo getting indirectly insulted at Lawrence and his advances on her is quite the comedy aroused from jealousy. With both Lawrence and Holo parting ways with Nora midway, they reach Ruvinheigen, which is in dire need of armour, and imported ones from Poroson are all the craze. That said, the city is quite lively, though danger still lives wherever they go. A merchant association that Lawrence is part of, it's home away from home. But an informant coming with words for Lawrence, what does it entail? What drama will Ruvinheigen have for Lawrence? |

| The part where Nora was escorting Lawrence and Holo, I agree that that was a very ironic thing that happened, with Holo of course being a wise wolf and all. I especially got a kick out of the part where Lawerence said "wolves are troublesome, aren't they" and Holo pinches him for it (as you can imagine) But despite that, he doubles down and says "and they're sly and devious too". LOL And also where Nora, right after that, said "I don't like to talk bad about them since they might be listening". OMG I nearly fell on the floor laughing when I saw that! |

| Am I misremembering or did Holo get along way worse with the dog in the original? |
