Spice and Wolf (light novel)
| I've seen some mixed reactions to this remake on Twitter with some saying the original's better, while others say that this one's better. Most of these however haven't read the original light novels. For any light novel readers who have also seen both versions of the show, which one is better so far? |

| its funny people complain that, cause the director of the original is the one directing this remake. Maybe, the art style might look different and there might be some changes in the adaptation, but what I dont understand is, how are people comparing a 26 episode original anime with an ongoing series that has only 1 episode as of now and calling it good/bad? |

Easy, you watch the first episodes of both and make the comparison. The remake has underwhelming performance. |

| I heard that the remake version is more faithful to the original source material. |
| Honestly there are pros and cons to both the original anime and the remake so far. It seems the remake will be more faithful to the Light Novels, as the original anime took some liberties and skipped some content. Most who watched the original (including myself) will say that the overall quality of the art and the adaptation of the remake itself is inferior to the original anime. However, it is EXTREMELY hard to objectively judge when nostalgia plays such a huge factor, so at this point I can’t fairly judge which is better overall. The remake gives Holo slightly bigger boobs, which some would say is a plus, and some would say is a minus. What IS a minus though is the fact that the original anime had Holo with Barbie Doll anatomy (nude figure with no nipples) and the remake has hair covering her chest, making it needlessly far more suggestive and sexual than the original anime was, especially when you combine it with the bigger boobs, regardless of whether that was the intention or not. All I can say is that I look forward to watching this remake and seeing how it plays out. |
| I wish more people watched Chobits. |
| After one episode? Can’t tell. But I do think that, so far, this rendition is a bit closer to the feel of the LN. The only thing that isn’t there is Holo being haughty about “I’m the wise wolf.” She is constantly reminding Lawrence in the LN out of self-pride. It may seem like a small thing, but her arrogance and pride showed through it and it was a big part of her character. Again, one episode, this is something she does over stretches of time, so we’ll see. That said, I do suspect this one will be better than the original. Also, preferences aside: the art style is a lot closer to how it really looks, so there’s that. I actually like this one better |
| Just from Ep 1 alone it's already more faithful. The designs are close to what they were intended to be and a major point in ep 1 is that Yarei is there. In the original anime, he was replaced by Roberta but in the LN Yarei is the merchant. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| this more closely follows the LN then the previous one that changed and altered a lot of characters. |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| I watched the original 3 or 4 times it was my first anime that I became obsessed with, bought and read the LNs, bought the manga. Of course I am nostalgic about the artstyle and the general atmosphere of the original, and not a fan of the CGI that sometimes shows in this adaptation, but putting that aside (because it seems like the anime industry of this era still can't make use of the CGI to its full potential) it seems a failry good adaotation. Don't mind the crowd that picks on everything, if you enjoy it then good for you, if not then just drop it. |

It’s higher quality by every metric. Voice-acting that fleshed out characters in the original installment maybe? Or that dude in charge of sounding department of the remake forgot to turn on the SFX for the night in the forest and made up for it by overplaying the monotone BGM that didn't even add any deeper layer to the conversation than distracting people from it? Whom is he trying to fool? Everyone who has ears knows. |

Nostalgia merchants will say the remake is bad.
But it is more faithful to LN in terms of character Design and Plot.

| @Ab_271004 if series concludes their romance and tells us do they official hook up and have kids or not and finishes the story then its way better unlike the previous version that left us hanging with unfinished didn't say whatever they official hook up and have kids or not |

@V1P3R0P lmao that makes the debate even funnier. Like if it's the SAME director, then why is there this debate in the first place? People should rather feel assured that an experienced director is helming this remake KEKW
| @Koustubh Well, if you want to get more technical, Takeo Takahashi is credited as chief director, and while he did storyboard this first episode, chief directors usually tend to serve as more of a supervisor role rather than a creative/hands-on one. |
