Spice and Wolf (light novel)
| i've seen almost nonstop gripping from anime only fans of the old anime complaining about them having to do season 1 again. let me explain as a LN reader. 1. they skipped an entire volume. last time so there would be confusion if they just decided to continue without addressing that. so you will be getting new content soon calm down. season 1 and 2 of the old anime was made at a time where novels and manga plot lines were often thrown into the bin by executives. 2. they added a character that didn't exist at all and altered plot points of seasons 1. purple hair girl never existed. 3. it's been years so often studios find that starting a new is better for getting an audience then just skipping off to new grounds where everyone is left confused. |

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  |

Thank you for the clarification. Do you consider anime-onlys can watch both back to back without being too confusing? Or maybe just finish one to proceed to the new adaptation?
| @C9StarFOX just watch the new one old one will cause more confusion like the old full metal alchemist did when brotherhood came out. |

| There is no more Chloe, so we can assume it will be more faithful to the source material. Also, the presence of Myuuri in the first scene directly implies, that we may have full adaptation, because I really doubt it was just a cameo Easter egg. The only thing that was significantly better in original (so far) is the ED. I always adored that cute, childish song. |

4. Those old anime only fans forgot that this world doesn't revolve around them. The author and the studio don't have an obligation to listen to them, most of them were watching it for free anyway~  |

Tabi no Tochuu is legitimately one of my all time favorites, I absolutely adore that song. |

Imagine someone who never existed has more characters and raison d'être under her sleeves than that merchant guy in a remote village who's struggling to stay afloat on stage. I'd conduct that trade all the time. |

| The cut the giant snake arc. I will never forgive them. |
| I wasn't familiar with the old show's cuisine, but since I liked it enough, I hope they can create an equally good show while keeping all the things that the old show ignored. |

I would say Tabi no Tochuu is not *significantly* better than the new OP, especially considering Hana Hope actually recorded an English version for the English dub. They convey two entirely different emotions, the old one being more bittersweet and longing rather than the new version's optimism and sense of impending adventure. For sure, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved the new op as well. I think both songs really manage to fit the same wistful vibe which is really cool in my opinion. |

| @SgtBateMan Don't pretend you wouldn't have preferred the older version either way (I mean even if the old were faithful and the new made an "unnecessary" change). |

| @Piromysl One option requires like 100 episodes to happen (from Passione, at that) and the other one sounds absolutely like something they'd do. So yes, I don't know why you'd look at that and doubt it's just a fanservice-y cameo. |

| @Unowen I mean have you seen the amount of Holo figures and spin-offs Spice & Wolf has, I can't imagine they'd stop for budget reasons (Not to mention how dialogue heavy it is it probably doesn't need to much) - There are VR games, this series is more than profitable so that'd only leave dumb executive decisions. Also Passione was behind that shit Higurashi remake/reboot thing and for as bad as it was they still matched the number of episodes from the original (Which is somewhere around the 50 mark) so if it's successful enough for them it wouldn't surprise me really if they continue releasing seasons (and I sure hope they do) |

| Tabi no Tochuu was a much better OP. It still gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it 😬 I wish they would've kept it and I wish they would've adapted parchment and wolf. Hope this adaptation does justice, although the 2008 version was a banger already |

| @Nirinbo But I do prefer the original installments and those "unnecessary changes" were the best gifts ever presented to the audiences (despite the source material being amongst my favourite). It portrayed 'perspective' and 'imagination'. |

| As a big 'Ah Megami-Sama' fan I can appreciate the need to redo things from the start. AMG's TV series ignored the older 5 episode OVA for the sake of starting fresh with a more manga accurate adaptation of the story, so I can appreciate Spice & Wolf doing a similar type of reset of the anime canon in this remake version. |

| I'm just happy to see Holo again |
