What's the Deal with the New Spice and Wolf Remake?
If you loved Spice and Wolf, get ready for a twist because they are doing a whole anime remake! This new version will make some huge changes from that first series. So, what is the story about? The anime Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf, takes a trip to medieval landscapes with a merchant, Kraft Lawrence and a goddess called Holo (who takes the shape of a young wolf woman) on a whole adventure, combining some fantasy and economics!
Will the Remake be a Straight Re-Do?
The original anime (that came out back in 2008) was awesome, but there was a bit of a complaint: they'd just remake it exactly, but no changes! This anime remake wasn’t adding much to what came before, so what's going to be different?
Are There Major Differences Between the Remake and the Original?
- There will be big changes! You might be a huge Spice and Wolf fan! They actually didn’t use a huge part of the original story. It turns out they are actually bringing in volume #4 of those light novels, where the story is set. This new anime is even called "Legend of the Pagan Gods arc." It looks like the whole remake is going to adapt the books. Think of that first one like a whole new version of the series.
- The remake of Spice and Wolf has its own kind of charm - with updated animation. It's looking pretty amazing, so if you love the Spice and Wolf fantasy anime, it is definitely a must-watch.
Will The Remake Have New Episodes?
- The remake's new episodes are going to be a super special addition, especially for anyone that was hoping for an extension! If you loved Spice and Wolf you've gotta be looking forward to getting those missing bits from volume #4. And just imagine if the producers add on even more stories from Isuna Hasekura's light novels! We've seen that happen in other anime before! It might give fans a totally new take on Kraft Lawrence!
So Which Should I Watch First?
This one's pretty simple - if you are a huge Spice and Wolf fan and have been enjoying that remake, you can totally watch that first anime series! You're gonna get some awesome stuff, especially if you are looking forward to new stories. But be ready to be totally mesmerized with Spice and Wolf's original anime because that one was pretty amazing.
You know that this new anime is totally re-creating the original, but you might even end up finding a different vibe in those older versions - especially when you consider those characters are brought to life differently in the anime remake. This fantasy anime has really hooked fans into its economic adventures! They even love all that awesome merchandise! So jump into the Spice and Wolf world, and start reading the light novels! You won't regret it.
