It was wholesome enough, Holo seemed much cuter than I remember her.

Nice to see Lawrence and Horo again; their blushes were really cute. Having the same BGM is a plus. The art might've taken a turn downwards, but I'm sure that the S2 will be better. Since this OVA has left me with a smile in the end, I'd say that all is well. Looking forward to tremendous amount of dialogue. BSS, I'm patiently waiting for you. PATIENTLY.

Maybe it's because I've read the novel but it didn't really live up to my expectations. The interactions between lawrence and horo weren't as good as i had hoped but hopefully it's really just me having my expectations too high. Still i certainly enjoyed it.

Animation was really lacking but it was nice to see Horo and Lawrence again even if it felt like there was a lot of forced moeness.

Cute OVA :D I agree that the animation wasn't as good as the first season, but it was close enough and doesn't bother me that much. Horo was so cute o///o

I didn't notice the "annoying" BGM when I first watched it, but after I read the comments I rewatched the beginning and indeed it was a little annoying. ^^; But still they kept it in the same style as S1, so I'm happy~

Can't wait for S2!

Was that in the last episode of the first season? I'll have to rewatch that because I don't remember her knowing about Horo's true form.


Lawrence explained it to her in.. I think it was the second-to-last episode of the first season. Plus, while innocent, she seems to be fairly intelligent, and all the clues they've left would have been put together well enough for her not to be suprised if she hadn't known.

One thing I'd disagree with most of you on, is how much affection has increased. When I watched the first, I could see it at least in the second half (once Nora entered) and when I rewatched it, it was almost from the beginning. If anything, I'd say that there was less affection shown in the OAV between them than what was shown in the first season.

I really liked this episode. I don't know if it's possible, but Nora seemed to bring out even more of the wolf/human relationship, and I wonder if she's going to continue to travel with them.

Have to laugh at how clueless Lawrence is about why Horo doesn't like Nora. 'I know you don't like sheppards' *knocks him over the head* I guess he's never seen a woman acting jelous before.

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

Kinda late but i've been trying too get the OVA for a while, but can't find it anywhere. Anyone have a tip for me. I read this: An OVA of Spice and Wolf II was announced to be released on April 30th before the airing of the second season. It's called episode 0 and will be bundled with Dengeki Visual Novel "Spice and Wolf: Ohkami to Kin no Mugiho". The episode 0 will not be aired on TV, but can't find it anywhere, not even in stores

Great return for a great series!!! Luckily everything that was enjoyable about the first season is still intact so now if only subs for S2 would be released quicker.

Hmm.... its very strange when they keep this much similar, but change some fundamentals of the series... I think BB is doing a pretty good job of producing the anime, but it seems a lot more comical and moe than before, which I'm a bit disappointed in. Comical moe is so mainstream that it becomes hard to differentiate between all those animes, but I'm sure that Spice and Wolf II can stay out of that realm. It worries me that it's moving in that direction though, but moe is fine with me :D

That said, the similarities are well appreciated on this side of the interwebs. The music and animation are pretty much exactly the same which is good, and of course the seiyuus. I hate it when a series gets new voice actors in the sequel, bugs the crap out of me.

Overall, still very good, but probably won't measure up to the first season.

I clearly need to learn a lesson from Lawrence in terms of how to deal with women.

When they're hung over, I need to describe food in terms that makes them hungry.

That is clearly how to deal with women.

I liked this Ova more than the first season ; D

Horo was very cute it was good that invested more time in the relationship between Horo and Lawrence.
Lawrence voice is great.

the dream sequence was sad I hope that this will not happen in the end of season 2
but I loved the ending scene with the three were laughing.

9/10

Lol, I would love to see that. Although we can't tell if humans and wolves can actually reproduce together.

Although there were only 3 characters, this OVA made me smile, and laugh. :D

I have mixed feelings for this OVA. There were some parts that I really liked but during other, I just wanted it to end.

I wish they could have "expanded" that scene where Lawrance dies. I though that that was the best part of it all.

Highly enjoyed the OVA. Great advert for the Second Season, which I'll finally be watching on hulu (can't wait for funimation).

I didn't think anything was out of character on Horo's (or Lawrence) part. They both care for / like each other but don't outright say or act upon it. I think this was evident in many scenes in S1 and I assume we'll be seeing more of the romance aspect and complications of it in S2. Fingers crossed it doesn't end like her dream and hoping for S3.

I know it was written that the novels end in February, so I may have to start delving into them to see the final conclusion. Great show.

This is the kind of episode I was looking for in season 1, hope to see more like this in season 2. Didn't have any problem with the new animation. It's not that different from the previous one.
Also, the gif posted earlier is win :D
