Now, fans can expect another TV anime adaptation for the well-known fantasy series about a merchant and a god. Since its release in different media types, Spice and Wolf has received positive feedback for its unique fantasy plot that goes beyond the typical magical beings. This series touches on economics, trade, finance, and much more.
It follows the adventures of protagonist Kraft Lawrence, a 25-year-old traveling merchant, and his companion Holo, a neglected harvest wolf god. Together, the two unlikely pair travel around a fictional world in their horse-drawn cart trading goods and spices.
On the official Twitter account of the upcoming anime adaptation, fans shared their thoughts on the exciting news. While some fans were thrilled for a whole new adaptation, others wished that it would be a sequel and pick up from where the previous anime ended. However, overall, everyone received the news with open arms.
