Review of Spice and Wolf

The plot: Kraft Lawrence, a 25 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. One night when stopped at the town of Pasroe, he finds in his wagon a 250 year old pagan wolf deity girl named Holo. She appears to be that of a 15 year old girl, except for a wolf 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. 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.

This show is so good. Holo is a great character. Kraft Lawrence is also a great character too. But the rest of the characters are assholes.

The chemistry between Holo and Lawrence is amazing and believable.

The romance is subtle and realistic.

The music is amazing, it can be calm then fast.

The animation is beautiful, the backgrounds look very good and the characters look really good and expressive.

The voice acting is good in both Japanese and English.

I wish there were more episodes and seasons :(

Overall, this is an amazing amine with great characters, beautiful animation and incredible music

10/10
