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.

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?
