I was waiting for this one,it was an awesome start,the character design and art are definitely good and consistent throughout the show,nicely done.the voice behind Horo is Amisuke from (Karen)Code Geass and (Tenma)School Rumble if I'm not mistaken.This series has been called a "unique fantasy" due to the plot focusing on economics,trade and peddling rather than the typical fantasy such as swords and magic. The japanese title of this series is Ookami to Koushinryou. I cant wait to see the next episode.I really like
this series.
Spice and Wolf's story revolves around Craft Lawrence, a twenty-five-year-old peddler travelling from town to town selling and buying various things to make a living during a period much like Europe in the Middle Ages.His main goal in life is to gather enough money to start his own shop,and he already has been travelling for seven years while gaining experience in the trade.One night when stopped at the town of Pasroe, he finds in his wagon a 250-year-old pagan wolf-deity girl named Horo.She appears to be that of a fifteen-year-old girl,except for a wolf's tail and ears. She introduces herself as the town's goddess of harvest who has kept it blessed with good harvests of wheat for many years.Despite having the responsibility to watch over the town, she wants to go back to her homeland in the north called Yoitsu,she believes the people have already forsaken her anyway and that she has kept her promise to maintain the good harvests.Horo wants also to travel to see the world how the world has changed while she has remained in one place for years. She manages to bargain her way out of the village by making a deal with Lawrence to take her with him. As they travel, her wisdom helps increase his profits, but at the same time, her true nature draws unwanted attention from the church.
