The series adapts Isuna Hasekura's fantasy romance light novel which was originally submitted at the Dengeki Novel Prize in 2005 and won the Silver Prize.

Kadokawa shipped the 24th volume on January 7.
Hasekura launched the spin-off light novel Shinsetsu Ookami to Koushinryou: Ookami to Youhishi (Wolf & Parchment: New Theory Spice & Wolf) in September 2016. The eighth volume shipped in August last year, with the ninth volume scheduled to release on July 7.
The first television anime by animation studio Imagin premiered in 13 episodes in Winter 2008, followed by an original video anime the following April. Brain's Base and Marvy Jack produced a second anime season in Summer 2009.

It was a bit jarring for me to watch the trailer especially the field full of static generic posed villagers that got copy pasted all over the place and those horse animations gave me Berserk 2016 PTSD
But this one is rather special to me, so im not sure if im even ready for this as my expectations are pretty high
Core members are there i just hope they will have good funding and spend it wisely and that the rest of the team are capable as this is not their first anime already
Like it wont be as bad as Berserk 2016 or Kamikatsu CGI and i dont expect Fate levels of funding and quality but i really hope its on the higher end of that spectrum and not some generic middle of the road quality that smaller studios are stuck with due to lack of funding or just forced to being rushed
Because if i was the OG director that was responsible for the original adaptation, that was part of the team that started this studio and messed this project up with the people he was partially responsible hiring i wouldnt be able to sleep and it would haunt me for sure

At first I thought they actually looked closer to Ayakura's design but now I'm thinking it looks more like Koume's style. I'm good either way.
As one who still adored the first adaptation, they have to stick closer to the source this time though. They skipped too much the first time around. Don't let me down, Passione. #JusticeForCole

I would've fancied a season 3 to be honest instead of a full-fledged remake, as whatever we had was already top-notch. Also it's Passione so...
... they better not start throwing some random fanservice shots just because they feel like lol. Need to suppress that DNA.
Also great they retained the original VA's. I mean they're still very much active, so it makes sense anyways, but still good. Though anyways just hyped.
You do know that the writer and director that went on to form Passione did the first two seasons of Spice and Wolf correct?

The publisher is really bent on milking this series huh... I'm not going to say no to more S&W, but I don't think the first season adaptation was a bad adaptation, so there's tons of dengeki bunko adaptations out there that deserved a remake more than this one. Obviously it won't bring as much money as this one heh.

They've also done Rokka no Yuusha, which had zero fanservice scenes and is still one of the most faithful LN adaptation in anime we've had so far, so that's that. They do use CGI quite regularly AFAIK though, which may not please everyone.

The idea of returning old voices causes endless respect *_*

Anyway, just like @ZXEAN said, I want them to supprise me and prove me wrong. And if they won't there is still the old adaptation to be rewatched.

Why are you getting triggered ? I don't think I have said anything offensive lol. I just want to experience a wholesome light hearted romance without unwanted fanservice that's all.
And yes if I don't like it I will definitely drop it. No need to worry 😉

If you are such a huge puritan that you can't handle a little fanservice then don't watch it . Nobody pointed a gun in your head to watch it .

The trailer looks amazing but I am still little bit scared, Passione is known for there borderline hentai anime and they might oversexualized Holo which I don't want to see.

I guess I should be happy with this remake even though the CGI looks bad and cheap in same scenes in the trailer. It is hard to imagine this adaptation will make me again as obsessed with the story and its characters as the original anime did. On the other hand it makes it possible that the other novels of the LN series be adapted and that is a good thing in itself. Who knows maybe we will get to see the adaptation of its spin-off as well in the future.
