Spice and Wolf (light novel)
| People are calling this anime a fucking masterpiece and I kinda wanna watch it to see what all the fuzz is about. However! I am very reluctant to do so because I have heard that it was never finished. There is no real ending since they didnt adapt all the light novels. Now reading the LNs is out of the question as i hate reading books. So my question is this: Is it worth watching both seasons of spice and wolf even though there is no real ending? Will I just be left with a big gaping hole in my heart for all eternity or will I truly be satisfied with the ending? |

| Definitely! It's one of my all-time favorite series and you should definitely give it a go. Season 2 did have an open ending, but it's resolved in a way that doesn't really leave you hanging. It's one of those open endings that leaves you wondering about the future of the main characters, but gives you some closure at the same time. Nothing like a cliffhanger of sort. |

I bores me to death. Season 3 aint happening. Its been 6 years. Is it sill worth watching even without a third season? |

| To me, it's a great series. I find it unique since it's hard to find another anime that talk about merchant or trading thing. Also, the adventure part of that series that they went on the journey together is what makes it interesting. Eventhough there isn't season 3, or the real ending, it's still worth to watch it. |

leNerd said: Its one of those endings that happen right where the story is not even nearly finished and gives you the read-the-LN-middlefinger And i HATE that kind of ending so i really think it means something when i say its still totally worth to watch it. Is the ending that bad? I am feeling a little bit conflicted right know. I know i will probably love the anime since its appearntly heavy on the dialouge. However when you say stuff like "gives you the read-the-LN-middlefinger" then i am not sure what to do. Is it really really really worth watching despite the fact that the ending sucks? |

Just watch it. It's a fantastic anime even though it ends unfinished. |

| Yes. Even if we're all wounded from no season 3 ever both seasons are very good and wrap up nicely enough they're worth the watch. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Yes it is worth watching even if there is no S3. |
 |
| It's the anime that, after enduring 10 years worth of all too many unfinished anime, finally got me reading LN.... ;) And I hadn't read a book in 8 years. I just hád to know how the story would continue, how their journey would conclude, the series was, at least to me, só captivating! And the LN are a marvelous read, who knows,... you may even find a new side to yourself! Perhaps you've just been reading the wrong kind of books all these years? :) |
OnePixelGame said: idk why the writer gave up on a anime version, i cant think it would be a bad thing because its still popular in different circles of the internet. And its still ranked preety highly in popularity for a "dead" anime It's not the writer (Isuna Hasekura) who decides whether or not an anime adaptation is made, that's up to studios/distributors/licencors.... He just writes, and gave us a perfectly concluded story, put the icing on the cake with the vol.17 Epilogue and treated us to cherries on top with the Spring Logs,... the translated vol.20 will be released end october. In order to do the source material any bit of justice there would have to be at least 5 more seasons, so unless a studio is willing to commit itself to that (highly doubtful) I'd rather not even see them try. |
