In every sense of the word, this anime is unconventional. But I say that in the best possible way. From the first episode the show highlights both the situation and the tone of the entire piece. Parts of Spice and Wolf are romantic and humorous, other parts are dramatic and thought provoking. Fortunately, the pace at which the story uses these elements is perfect, never giving the audience too much or too little. Even so, it isn't till the third or fourth episodes that we see what the show is really known for: The conspiracy and economics that are always at work. This is what really brings the story to life, the depth of the characters and their roles. Already we are given two very interesting characters as the leads, but no matter where the go the audience is pulled in by the realism of the settings. Character's have agenda's, goals, and different idea's of how to get there. Thus, how our "hero's" interplay with those characters creates a great interest. Overall, I highly recommend this show.
