Title: Spice and Wolf


Summary:
Spice and Wolf's story revolves around Kraft Lawrence, a 25-year-old traveling merchant who peddles various goods from town to town to make a living in a stylized historical setting with European influences. His main goal in life is to gather enough money to start his own shop, and he already has been traveling for seven years while gaining experience in the trade. One night when stopped at the town of Pasloe, he finds in his wagon a pagan  wolf-deity girl named Holo who is over 600 years old. She appears to be a 15-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 her 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 and that she has kept her promise to maintain the good harvests. Holo wants also to travel to see 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.

Since most of the people here are girls who have a strong interest in shojo, I decided not to post an anime based on oppai. As such, since I saw people have taken a liking to CLANNAD, I've decided to post this. Spice and Wolf is a wonderful anime and probably one of the last of decent animes left. It's an engaging journey between a wolf deity and a merchant. At time, there are lots of tension, drama, and romance which gives it a strong feel. However, there are moments of comedy and humor at the same time. I highly recommend everyone to watch this.

Can't agree with you more than that! Spice and Wolf is AMAZING! It made it to my top 5 favorite Anime all times~ The story line is so good that I can't even explain it to my friends in real life without boring them out...

It is still unannounced nor have proof for a third season but if you ask me, yes there will be one for sure! The story is faaaaar from ending (in the anime that is). I read somewhere that they are publishing or published the last light novel so yeah!

You have nice taste in anime~ ;D
