Spice and Wolf (light novel)
| I watched the original series like 10 times. My favourite anime of all time |
| Infinite growth is the ideology of a cancer cell |
| I watched it seasonally and it was one of my favourite show at the time. I was still hoping for a season 3 until recently. |
| I love this anime I love the original and I'm already loving the remake, beautiful anime |
 |
| I watched the entire first series. I'm a bit iffy on the new character designs but I'm sure they will grow on me in time. I'm mostly looking forward to getting new content |
| I've watched the original anime but it's been some time since I rewatched it. I still enjoy rereading the manga from time to time though :) |
| Watched the original series around 2017 and rewatched it a while back, can't remember exactly when. With the rewatch, I did like season 2 less than before but season 1 is still very strong. I did watch it in dub though so hearing characters in Japanese does feel a bit different to me. Character designs are closer to the books a bit and its fine, I prefer a more mature Holo but this one looks fine, it didn't bother me as much as when I found out Yuru Camp season 3 was having designs closer to the manga, which was such a huge downgrade for me. 25 should be fine. I do wonder though, are they going to adapt the same amount of volumes or are they going to speed it up a bit. I know that in the original anime, one volume was completely skipped and I assume that will be adapted here. So will it cover 1-4, 1-5 or more? Not too sure yet. Hopefully the pacing remains to be solid and consistent. |
| I didn't watch it during the broadcast and the main hype, but eventually finished it in 2016 and 2022 when I started watching the anime again and decided to delve into many of the hits I had previously missed. I won't say I was ever a huge fan of the title, but I appreciate Holo's charisma and cult following, so I'm glad that years later she still got another chance to shine and become known among modern audiences. |

| Not me. (character limit) |
| I've watched the original and looks like the scene at the beginning with Holo and was not in the original.  |
 |
| I watched Season 1 around the time that I was new to anime. I wasn't really into it, so I didn't watch Season 2. I'll definitely watch this remake though. |
 |
| I've always had it on my radar but never watched it. I'm going in blind with the remake and I like it so far. |

I only watched in Feb of this year but became pretty obsessed and started reading LN after.
Currently I am kind of 50/50 on remake vs OG, I think the remake is doing some things really well, but there are also some things I preferred from the OG. For example, at the end Holo already starts to tease Lawrence by pushing up against him and flirting, I prefer this stuff to be more developed so when it happens I get a big smile from it, I didn't really care about it in that moment because they just met.
But overall it is very hard for me to make a proper comparison because to do so I really need the English VAs to come back :(

| @Yorda_trico True, episode 1 also ends with that scene in og, same overall conversation, but no pushing. I think the overall vibe for the episode was with Holo more hot than cute, where as in the original she felt more cute than hot in episode 1 Not complaining though, good start. We'll see how the vibe goes from here. |

Question
Is this the remake of season 1? Can I start here and what are your thoughts so far?
Is this the remake of season 1? Can I start here and what are your thoughts so far?
| @HansDevX Yes, you can start here. This is a remake starting from volume 1 of the LN and this episode covered the same material from the LN as the original series' episode 1 did |
| I've watched the original 2 seasons a few times, it's one of my all-time favorites. I've also read the entire novel series 3 times over and I honestly believe it's one of the best, if not THE best, series I've ever read (and I read quite a lot, not only light novels :P). I have insanely high expectations for this adaptation. |
  |
| I watched all of the original a few months before the remake got announced, after a video review i found on youtube. |
 |
| I saw original probably 10 years ago. |
sayu-simp said: Original shows aired in 2008 and a second season in 2009 with 2 OVAs. wondering how many of you cultured viewers have watched the original shows. what are your opinions on the new remake and new character designs. I'm loving the same VAs for Kraft and Holo so far and Holo looking just as mischievous as she did in the originals. do you think the 25 EPs will adapt to where the second season left off at in the original shows too? p.s. Martin, Holo is MY wife. I rewatched it several times and the remake is beyond my expectation, well it is really good, moreover they adapted yalei the character from the LN. I tog 25 eps cant cover 2 seasons from the og, if they dont skip the story from the LN. |
SeaCrab said: Hello dear mal users,my name is as said by the creator of the post Martin I am here to address the madness that Holo is his wife, dear readers. His name is sayu-simp and he dares say Holo is his wife, madness ik, do not listen to his statement holo is 100% my wife Yes I with gratitude thank you for reading Nah, Holo never goes to the sea, she doesn't even know you. this is a scam, Holo is totally my wife of all time. |
| I watched the original quite a while ago though I remember the majority of it. The remake looks promising but it’s way too early to judge it heavily. |
  |
| I've watched it years ago and totally enjoyed it. I hope the remake won't let me down. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| My all times 3rd if not counting movies, in that case 4th. I was laready a seasoned consumer of anime, but is in up there with the real gems. This remake will be even better presumably, so could take its place soon |
| If this ends up stopping on the same spot the old S2 arrived, I will be let down immensely. Either do an outstanding reboot adding detail, or adapt past that. I've already seen the original series. No need to wait 24 weeks to do it again, I'll just rewatch the OG then... |
| bruh |
| Seen this so many times, last rewatch was before covid though, new designs are fine and the first episode did an excellent job in my opinion. If they adapt everything this time then this first 25 episode may stop at the end of vol 4 which was skipped in the og series - (og was vol 1,2,3 & 5) and this is if they adapt it 2 volumes per cour. Based on the opening and the ending visuals of the reboot, only characters from vol 1 and 2 are shown, so the first cour might only be the first 2 volumes like the og! Keeping the above in mind if the entire series (the original 17 vol of the LN including the colours/side stories) is adapted then the second season of the reboot will start where the second half of the second season of og series began, when the duo arrived in Lenos or ep 7. This is assuming of course the studio does not rush through the first 5 volumes to fill the 25 ep. |
| I watched all of the original spice and wolf, it's been a long time since then, so I forgot most of the plot, but I can clearly remember Holo as a character, I liked her personality and design. I'm definitely going to be watching this remake, it will be like a fresh experience since I've forgotten most of what happened in s1 and s2. So far this first episode was enjoyable, I don't mind the new character designs and I'm happy that they kept the same voice actors. The only thing that worries me is that this will most likely only adapt what was already adapted (or even less), if we don't get a second season adapting new content, I will be really disappointed |
