Spice and Wolf is a fabulous tale that will sweep you away. Mind you there is no fanservice, but it plays well at the strings of the heart. Each episode unfolds the experiences of the merchants life as he travels from town to town making his living and assisting a surprise companion. Thier story unfolds as does the world in which they live in. Full of rich culture, economics, politics and subpurbly detailed to draw you in and make you feel part of thier world. I promise you will love this show. My teen daughter was glued to it and my 8 year old son had insists on watching it over and over. One truly to be appreciated. Beautiful art, story, animation,and music. Add this to your collection.
