I haven't been blogging for a while, but that's because I have been so busy watching Spice and Wolf! This is just about my favorite anime I have seen in a long time! The story is set in fake historical Europe, maybe around the 1600's? I dunno. So a traveling merchant named Lawrence is just leaving a town that celebrates the harvest with a festival in honor of Horo, their wheat goddess. And guess who pops out of his cart? It's Horo in human form (usually a wolf) but she has wolf ears and a tail. She is no longer needed at that village due to advances in technology and the church gaining power. So Lawrence takes her along on his journey because she wants to go back to her hometown in Yoitsu to see her wolf friends. They get into lots of exciting situations, and there is some filler, but very interesting and educational filler. I like the anime a lot because, it being a Seinen, is aimed at the older crowd. You learn a lot about economics and money exchange! Very good anime. There is also some love and romance between Lawrence and Horo, but that can come to no suprise considering they are of the opposite sex and in an anime. There already are two seasons and a third one is rumored to come out, and it is based on nine light novels of the same name. I would give it a 9 out of 10.
