The story of spice and wolf is overly simplistic, but don’t get me wrong, simple things can be the best things. Ookami to Koushinryou is a story about Lawrence, a traveling merchant and Holo, a wolf deity. While economics do play a part in spice and wolf, you shouldn’t let it stop you if you don’t like the subject. The economics are really interesting in the series, you can see how Lawrence do his trades and earn his money, but obviously the story isn’t only about this. On a personal point I think it’s the characters that make this series original and good.
SOUND (8/10)
I love spice and wolf ost’s, the opening is great, it fits so well with the anime, even the ending is good (even if it’s ‘’engrish’’). I really loved Holo and Lawrence voices, they fit perfectly. The background ost’s really add a good atmosphere in the anime, they are unique, it’s the kind of ost that I enjoy listening while doing other things.
CHARACTERS (9/10)
This is by far the best part of spice and wolf. The characters are so unique. Holo is an awesome character, her personality is well made and she’s an original character, she’s not your main tsundere girl you will see in every anime. Lawrence is a good character too, this guy doesn’t know how to talk to a girl which can be funny sometimes, how he doesn’t understand how Holo thinks, and he’s a cool merchant, what else can I say? The relationship between our two main characters are something that I really enjoyed, there’s always a ‘’tease and tease back’’ when they talk together. It’s really enjoyable and they are the type of characters you will eventually care for as the story goes.
ENJOYMENT (8/10)
If you’re someone like me who really enjoys when characters are well made and are not left undeveloped you will definitely enjoy everything about spice and wolf. As a light novel reader I think the season one was really well adapted, they did not leave weird plot holes that they could have done by skipping light novels things, which is really enjoyable. I would definitely re-watch spice and wolf in a year or two. I can’t, but suggest anyone who loves spice and wolf to read the novels, they are awesome. Spice and Wolf as surely climb to my top five favorite series of all time
OVERALL: 8/10, would recommend
TL:DR: Story is great, characters are awesome, memorable series, if you like spice and wolf I suggest that you read the novel to continue this awesome adventure!
