it's ranked 190 on MyAnimeList. in terms of normies who watch anime, of course it's overlooked. they're all caught up watching some sub-par shonen anime and/or SAO. in terms of tasteful anime viewers, it's far from underrated or overlooked

I totaly agree. . .Although i'm fairly new to anime in general and the underlining fact that I've also only recently found out about this show. Even still, I "now sadly know/ understand that fact so well. . ." Spice and Wolf is above Beautiful. It is now my Favorite Anime Series in fact and one that even encouraged me to buy all 18 light novels to continue their beautiful story. I just wished I found out about this Anime sooner!!
I recommend reading the Light Novels, on which the Manga/Anime is based. It is an awesome read and is translated up to book 12(presumably book 13 in translation, 17 in total in japanese) I read up to 11, waiting for 12 to get delivered, and it is truly a great read and worth it. Season 3 is probably not happening.
TheSharpmarksman Because this is one of the animes which focuses primarily not on the kissy-kissy, but mostly on the story, which is why I love this anime more than any other out there, if you want an anime where there's a tongue-tying kiss every 3 seconds, there's a lot of them out there, but if you want a strong storyline, with a small kiss as to not overdo it, Spice and Wolf is your pick. At the same time, this is the reason why Season 3 is most likely never going to come, because people want to see animated people kiss, not hear about economics and treacherous intrigues, unfortunately people just aren't ready for Spice and Wolf.
it's not that, they purposely delayed the kiss and made the male character so dense episode 9 or 10 (the one with the boy who wants to marry holo) holo said to the main protogonist "make love to me" and he just stood there, denying that offer that shows they directly made the chracter dense as fuck
You don't just 'make love' to a girl when she in full rage and anger over a loss demands you make love to her, that's only what 12 year olds think. Holo just found out her home is gone, and taking advantage of that would have been so very wrong. I really like that they didn't focus on the male character being a sex-fiend. Really opens up the actual story rather than constant lovey-dovey stuff.
Spice and Wolf always has had that perfect balance between fanservice and maturity. There are times that Holo flirts with her tail, but it contributes to her character more than anything.
+raystrife235 Don't let go. . .Hurts me. I mean, read the light novels, read the manga, re watch the Anime 10x. But whatever you do: "Don't Let Go. . ." Spice and Wolf is too beautiful. Lawrence and Holo are too beautiful. The Anime is too Beautiful. Everything about this series is too beautiful. . .sigh* Its my favorite Anime Series now
Sometimes I just feel afraid watching some Spice and Wolf related stuff because I was devastated that the anime just had to end short and I wanted to see more until the ending, making it a long story because I don't enjoy reading the manga or light novel just to know the story. I always want to watch things by animation. The movement animation, voice, sounds, and color. I tried to move on from the anime by not watching anything related to it just to not get hurt again, but I just can't because I love the anime so much.
+LeglessLegoLegolas' LegoLegolasLegs I know! They left it on a cliff hanger as well! Where is that damn S3?! I voted for it but it was 1000 off 20,000 votes before getting closed :'(

Aw! Who did not love this song? If they do not like they do not need to press "Dislike", they just shut up and do not hear this music! Why have one dislike here?
This has to be akino arai her voice is perfect for the opening I haven't heard her voice since outlaw star when it aired on toonami and a few older anime even now her voice still has the same effect as it did when I was younger.
Isuna Hasekura finish the novel some time ago, the biggest problem is that this is not popular enough in japan to justify another anime season, the first market that this project will face is japan develop it is a really big risk for any producer.

Oh, how I wish this anime was on par with its openings. Oh, how I wish it was the mature tale of contemplative travel and soul searching it promised to be. Oh, how I wish it managed to match its obsession for trade plots with the subtlety of beautiful love. But one can always dream, and imagine the masterpiece that never was.
