| I love stories that takes the viewers places. It gives that adventurous feeling to it. The whole merchant talk and economy was a lot to take in at first as I'm not really familiar with it but to be honest now I'm up for more adventure with this couple. I think the sequels will be better but I'll hold it for now. |
| My 17th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10. |
| beautiful anime. I really enjoyed it. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Hahahah I legit wanted Holo to beat the shit out of Lawrence for being so dense at the end! xDDDD Though it was still funny. Glad to see a happy ending. The shepherd girl was cute too. One thing I didn't get is how Holo dealt with the other big wolf though? |
| In which world is Holo shorter than Nora? Its exactly the same! The debt has me confused again, Lemerio held his debt, so surely he could have just got rid of that when he was there to negotiate. So what did he mean by "paying back the debt" after that happened? I thought the gold wasnt enough to pay off Liberios own debt because they only got 1/6th of the planned sum, so how does Lawrence expect to ever get anything over 10 years if the company is bankrupt already? This really doesnt make any sense to me, he specifically stated the gold wasnt enough. Having Nora still take the risk of smuggling in that situation seems dumb AF. Anyway great show! I wasnt expecting to like this so much, as usually romance isnt my main genre and while I heard it was economy classes disguised as an anime I wasnt expecting it to be this deep either, usually shows only talk about the very basics of trade. I cant say I understood the plans all the time though, maybe thats just the adaption taking liberties.. Holo suprised me the most, I knew she is a popular character and had high expectations because of this but she really blew me away. Absolutely amazing character, great voice acting, great character design etc.(she looks more mature in the anime than on the LN covers atleast which is a plus for me) Lawrence isnt bad either, maybe Im too used to cardboard MCs but he seems to have an actual persona and quirks. Overall great show, nothing I really disliked even though the trade plots seemed confusing or just didnt make sense. The chemistry between Lawrence and Holo is great, its not just onesided teasing with an oblivious male MC. Side character were good, animation was good considering the age of the anime. Tempted to give this a 9 but its not quite there yet. The mix of romance and adventure with a feeling of mystery works really well. 8/10 PS: I adore the OP and ED, hope season 2 is just as good. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Lawrence dealt with it nicely, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more "hands on" approach, so to speak. Anyway, everyone is safe and sound but Holo haven't had any honey peaches yet. Hope she'll get some in season 2. 8/10 |

| beautiful last couple of episodes, and ending on a note of comedic bliss. lovely! |
| Enjoyed this a lot, Holo as a character is very entertaining to watch and her chemistry with Lawrence feels natural, where I can't get enough of it. Their banter and teasing, but also their dramatic moments were done well. But the economic side of the show was surprisingly amusing to watch, was really invested to it, want more it. And not to forget I love the setting this show takes place in and the way it catches that old atmosphere and vibe from the area. The traveling side is also one aspect I'm a big fan of, going to different places and stumbling on new situations. Cute and catching ending song as well. |
| What a great show, like I’ve kept saying I’ve enjoyed the relationship between Lawrence and Holo with the latter especially being the show stealer for me. It felt so real and so natural with the two of them, loved their bantering and teasing but also when things got serious I appreciated those moments as well. Didn’t think the show focused a lot on economy but I guess it was part and parcel for what Lawrence’s job entailed as a peddler merchant because he needs to worry about how cost effective everything he’s trading is. And I have to say I was quite interested in it, may not be a big expert in it but it’s definitely interesting to listen to at the very least. Really the loved the ol’ medieval sort of setting to it, animation definitely does the setting justice with it’s very harvest like feel to it. While it’s not necessarily an action-y sort of show, I feel it’s more than entertaining enough when it’s just focusing on Lawrence and Holo’s interactions and the show’s more about that than anything else. The only thing I have against it is that it was probably a bit slow to get going but once it did, it was worth seeing it’s entirely. I rate this show an 8/10. |
| I'm confident in calling this an outstanding anime. Excellent chemistry between the progressively more interesting main cast was the primary appeal, but the side characters were by no means depthless either, and were skillfully managed by the writing. On top of that, intricate worldbuilding and a picturesque setting further elevated the standing of the anime. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any flaws. Even the weakest aspect of this watch, the animation, is still perfectly serviceable. |

| They did it! Now they aren't in debt anymore and it looks like everybody got their Happy Ending. So nice to see they used the opening music in the ending. |
| The animation really popped off this episode. This has probably been mentioned before but Holo's wolf scenes reminded me of scenes from Ghibli movies like something out of Princess Mononoke Anyway, Holo and Lawrence have the weirdest relationship but it's charming in its own.. odd way. I actually thought this was the end of the series but Crunchyroll has a second season listed |
| well that was a really good anime can definitely see why its one of the classics |
 |
| What a great finale. Especially loved the final moments, when they bicker about who Lawrence called out to and the bell tolls. I snorted. The show has such a strange, unique charm that snuck up on me. It almost feels.. "sleepy"? In both good and bad ways. It does make it hard to recommend to just anyone, though. |
| I will miss the cutie Norah. I hope we can see her in season 2 and for that matter the volumes not covered by the 2 seasons, or perhaps the remake gets to cover even more of the light novels. All is well for Lawrence, and a jealous Holo is cute. ETA: I dunno if this or the previous episode, but Lawrence is the first dude I heard who actually said gokigenyou (technically, Keyaru but he was crossdressing). |

| I dont know how to say my feeling about this anime but it was so good old anime like year 2008 give me this good feeling that i can not seek them in todays anime like they have souls |
| Pretty good. Holo indeed is up there in the S-tier of waifus, and I LOVE the opening. 7.3/10. Will get to watching season 2 soon, and then right after start watching the remake which is currently airing right now. |
