Spice and Wolf

A merchant and a harvest deity

This is one of my top favorite anime. Set in the time of trading guilds in Europe, this show relies on a lot of witty dialogue and an ongoing theme of economics. The main character is a traveling trader who gets paired up with a magical wolf harvest deity and has to accompany her back to her home. On the way they do various business dealings and uncover schemes.

If you like dialogue driven anime or just economics, this is a good show. The english dubs are great!

A Goddess and A Human

Spice and Wolf is a long journey filled with heaps of dialogue and economics of the olden days which is applicable even now.

Spice and Wolf is set in the medieval in a land that appears to take inspiration from European countries. Our story begins with the introduction of Kraft Lawrence, a travelling merchant who while on his way from town, is approached by the wolf goddess who goes by the name of Holo the Wise Wolf. Who asks to accompany Lawrence on his travels so she can return to her home in the snowy north. From here on out this is a journey filled with heartwarming and fun filled adventure between the two as they ride together selling goods and getting into trouble. All around a great, interesting and inventive concept.
This is partly Spice and Wolf's most charming feature. The interactions that take place between Holo and Lawrence will keep you engaged and smiling throughout the entire series.

Overall this show was a beautifully executed piece of artwork.
