Spice and Wolf Review - New Daily Anime Releases

Spice and Wolf - if it wasn't such a nicely animated series I would almost expect it to be some kind of educational program about economics. Every episode they go into how economics works and how to use it to get filthy rich. The dialog about this is often nicely placed and relevant its just way to over the top. And distracting from the story. I mean give me a break. The guys is traveling with a wolf god who can take on (cute and fox girl fetish) human form with dog ears and bushy tail. She is the "great and wise Horo" who wishes to travel north to try to find her comrades after the people of the world have begun to no longer worship and rely upon her for harvests. She hooks up with a traveling merchant who just can't help but constantly talk about trade and economics. If not for Horo this show would be absolutely boring. She often lends a light-hearted-ness to the dialog and keep things moving.

I would recommend it for economics students as a interesting way to learn economics as for anime fans it may often be boring and wordy but the characters are developed well and you get a general sense of the relationship blossoming. It interesting at times and boring at others. But who can't help but love the fox ears and tail. If only she was a little more buxom and less loli she would be perfect. (What can I say I dig the ears and tail.)
