She introduces herself as the towns Goddess of harvest who has kept the lands of Pasloe blessed with good harvest for many years. However the Pasloe people have forgotten the caring Goddess and now she wants to return to her homeland. The Goddess persuades the series protagonist Lawrence to take her with him and the two start a new journey. What awaits our duo and will they be able to reach the homeland of Horo unharmed? Find out the answer by watching Spice and Wolf now. Adventure has always been one of the most interesting genres however it is also very difficult to make a good one. The main problem here is that it might become boring too fast. Spice and Wolf is truly one of the best series in this genre: you will not be able to predict anything on the contrary Spice and Wolf will make you relax and then it will dumbfound you. And you know that feeling is amazing watching a show where you do not know what might happen in the next episode is truly pleasant. With that being said I guarantee you that the story of Spice of Wolf is on the level and you will surely like it but I would not recommend you to marathon this series to be honest. I also find it important to mention the fact that the anime is unfinished and to know the ending you will either have to read the novel or wait for the animes continuation which has not been announced yet. If it does not scare you you will not have any problems with the storyline. The animation captures the medieval setting perfectly. Although the anime was made in 2008 I can say that even for 2016 the animation is still beautiful. Everything: fields market squares towns characters outfits and character designs are very beautiful. And it is because of the fact that this anime pays attention to all colors and this alone makes this series that beautiful. But not only the animation but also the series OST helps you to dive into the atmosphere of Spice and Wolf. The music in Spice and Wolf is simply splendid. No words will ever describe how beautiful it is. I have never heard an OST that will be as beautiful as in Spice and Wolf it is something you should listen to or perhaps get a copy somewhere. The OST does its job and it helps you to appreciate this anime even more. Moreover the voice actors that took part in this anime did one hell of a job voicing their respective characters. I would recommend you to watch this anime in Japanese but if you are a big fan of English voice actors you are free to watch it in English it is also good but not as good as the Japanese version. As for the characters Spice and Wolf has also many things to offer. Yes I will not try to hide the fact that this series has weak supporting characters. But in this series there are only two characters Horo and Lawrence Spice and Wolf is only about two characters and all other characters do not mean anything. They exist only to complement Horo and Lawrence. That said let us discuss Horo and Lawrence. Horo is the incarnation of every guys dream girl: shes strong confident and smart but at the same time very charming weak and feminine. Her character is unique because in most anime romances females either depend on men in everything or are just too independent. Horo is independent but she also looks like a weak creature that you want to protect. I find it also important to mention that Horo does not deny that she loves Lawrence. Her main goal is of course to return to her homeland but she is ready to give up on what she needs because of the fact that she likes Lawrence. Kraft Lawrence at first looks like a merchant that only thinks about profit. But after a little while the viewer understands that Lawrence is an extremely caring individual who sometimes sacrifices too much. Horo hates it about him but she also finds his chivalrous conduct attractive. Although he relies on Horo in terms of protection and sometimes he cannot express his feelings later on he shows that he is not only ready to protect what is important for him but also that he is not afraid of showing his true feelings. Lawrence is not just some emotionally numb idiot: he is both strong and able to express his feelings. All in all Horos and Lawrences duo is amazing It is never annoying it is never boring you just want them to stay together forever. Anyway Spice and Wolf is a very enjoyable series. Everything about it is enjoyable and you just want it to never end: from extremely wellwritten storyline to very interesting characters. As I have already mentioned it Spice and Wolf is not just some boring romance yes it is there but this series tells a story of two lonely people and there is also a grain of reality in it: one should fight for what they love and want to achieve. And believe me in Spice and Wolf both Horo and Lawrence will have to fight for what is precious for them. All in all I would recommend this series to any person that likes anime. I simply cannot imagine even one reason for you to not watch Spice and Wolf. Yes there is one reason but even if do not have a desire to read the novel you can always find spoilers on the internet which I would not recommend you to do to be honest but it is up to you of course. I hope that you will enjoy both seasons of Spice and Wolf its amazing OST and perhaps you will also read the novel.
