Welcome to HOLO EXPO, sponsored by Holo Interviews! HOLO EXPO is a place where everyone from around the world gathers to celebrate Holo, cosplay as Holo; along with other characters from Spice & Wolf, and a place to purchase and sell Holo merch.
Here we are at the Q&A Section; our next guest is a Wolf Diplomat, a conflict mediator between the Humans and the Wolf Community. And one of the biggest advocates for Holo. HollowNightWolf.
Would you like to introduce yourself to our audience
Where to start. I suppose I'll start easy, Hi everyone! I'm Hollownightwolfie but everyone just calls me Wolfie for the most part. I'm from the United States (Holoist States of WiseWolfica) and I've been an anime lover since I was a kid. Yeah I'm one of those started on Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and Yugioh kind of cases that expanded out once the internet became a thing for me. I'm 28 years old and I work for a hospital emergency room. Currently have a boyfriend that I've been with for two years at the time of this interview. I'm shy, introverted, have some depression and anxiety issues but I like to help people and make friends ^_^
What drew you to Holo and to joining The Holoist Society?
I love wolves so as soon as I saw Spice and Wolf, the title itself grabbed me and I had to watch it. Once I got into it, I found a deep medieval world with interesting characters and beautiful artwork. Of course the beautiful, witty, and awesome Holo became my favorite character of the series. She was funny, graceful, and I loved watching her character develop. Who doesn't love a wolf harvest god! When I found the club, I was happy to see that people were active in it and thought I would be able to make some friends that shared a similar interest to me!
Ah yes that is our Holo. Everyone gets so taken by her that it just lifts them out of the normality of their existence. As for your passion for wolves, how did you develop an affinity for them?
I think Spice and Wolf and Wolf's Rain helped in that but also my dad was very into wolves and had artwork around the house that I saw as a kid. I thought they were beautiful and I loved that they were pack animals who stuck together and took care of their families. I loved their wild and free spirit to run through the forest, their ties to Native American culture, and the fact they were the world's first doggos! They make me so happy <3 <3
Right on, that's awesome. Yes Wolves can be very cute, familial and even spiritual. Now, you mentioned before that you have a Holo messenger bag and Holo Nendoroid, but did you ever get that figure you were hoping for? https://store.crunchyroll.com/products/spice-and-wolf-holo-figure
Sadly I am a little strapped for cash at the moment cause I just moved out on my own but hopefully things will be changing here soon so I'll have some spending money! stay turned!
Haha ok, we'll be looking to hear back from you on your quest for the special Holo figure. Now we would like to turn to the audience who have some questions for you. This is from @SohEasy
What is your favorite anime OST?
I LOVE Naruto and Inuyasha. The best in terms of anime OSTS I think. I like demon slayer music for the ending and openings too but I think those two are my favorite thus far. SHOWING HERE!
Next we have questions from @GodofWolves. If you could make any anime you wanted, what would it probably be about?
I think an anime of my choice would actually share some similarities to Spice and Wolf or Inuyasha with a wolf girl at the center. I'm a romantic person so there would be love. I think exploration, forests, oceans, just places to see in general?
Are you working your dream job? and if not, what would it be?
No, I'm not currently working my dream job. Like I mentioned, I'm at a hospital and while it is much better than anything I've done before and supports a small life, I'd love to work in conservation or environmental science of some kind. I started going to school for it but life keeps getting in the way : Gotta make more of an effort to get it done.
What's the anime that made you love/start watching anime and one you can still watch over/over till today.
That is a toss up between Inuyasha and Naruto. They were the first two series I discovered when I got to the internet and I fell in love. I could watch inuyasha over and over without caring and naruto being as long as it is doesn't bother me at all ^_^
What's the anime that made you hate anime, or maybe not hate, but at least think to yourself, like wow that was horrible, maybe i should quit watching this anime stuff after all? lmao
There is very few anime I've seen personally that I actually didn't like so far but I WILL say one piece (AND NO IT ISN'T DUE TO LENGTH) and discovering how fucking horrible hentai can be. I don't mind a little fan service here and there but there comes a point where it is too much for me. Non hentai anime that did that for me was High-School of the dead and Food Wars. Like come on man....
Uh oh @a105 is not gonna like that take LOL. Anyways, Thank you for everyone's questions. And Wolfie for sharing your story with us as we got to know you a little bit better today. Is there anything you would like to say to close out our Q&A.
I also wanna throw in that I am a bit of a closet furry..if anyone has seen my discord profile picture, that is my Fursona. Her name is Ghost and she is a SkullWolf ^_^ She has become a bit of who I am and I love how I finally was able to get her out of my head. I don't have a fursuit of her or anything (yet?) I'm not sure if I will or not. We'll see..but yeah! That's me in a nutshell. Thank you everyone for the questions, I really enjoyed doing this! ALL HAIL HOLO
