 A new anime project for Isuna Hasekura's Ookami to Koushinryou (Spice & Wolf) light novel was announced by publishing imprint Dengeki Bunko on Friday. The official Twitter account celebrating the series' 15th anniversary also revealed a teaser visual (pictured).Hasekura originally submitted the novel at the Dengeki Novel Prize in 2005 and won the Silver Prize. Media Works (later ASCII Media Works, now Kadokawa) began publishing the series through its Dengeki Bunko label in February 2006, featuring illustrations by Juu Ayakura. Kadokawa shipped the 23rd volume last September. Ookami to Koushinryou has a cumulative 5 million copies of its volumes in print. Hasekura launched the spin-off light novel Shinsetsu Ookami to Koushinryou: Ookami to Youhishi (Wolf & Parchment: New Theory Spice & Wolf) in September 2016. The sixth volume shipped last March. The first television anime by animation studio Imagin premiered in 13 episodes in Winter 2008, followed by an original video anime the following April. Brain's Base and Marvy Jack produced a second anime season in Summer 2009. Synopsis A young traveling merchant, Kraft Lawrence has become accustomed to days of roaming and trading, with few companions. Or so it was until one peculiar day where the trader finds a young, naked, wolf-like girl asleep in his wagon. The beautiful girl, calling herself Holo, claims to be a local wolf deity worshipped by locals as the God of Good Harvest. Year after year, she ensured they would reap a good harvest, but she has since grown tired of fulfilling the wishes of the ungrateful locals. Holo ends up striking a deal with Kraft: if he helps her escape the villagers, she will gladly help him in his merchant endeavors. Together, they roam from town to town in search of business, and Kraft realizes both the ups and downs of traveling with a haughty and shrewd wolf goddess.

| Wow... no one's stopping these out of nowhere announcements. Any due adaptation or continuation getting a call anytime now shouldn't a surprise given the kind of year this is turning out to be. So what will it be, a third season or a new adaptation altogether. |
 |
| the impeccable classic is back after 13-15 years |
| I am just ....... Speechless. Just speechless . There is no way anyone in this whole wide world expected this . No way . This has been quite a wild week ..... COTE , Rushia , and now this . Come to think about it , it has been quite a wild start to this year ... |
| Isn't what's written on the white screen near the end something that Holo says to Kraft past the end of the main 17 vol story, so in like vol 19-20 of the story ? Let me guess : that's going just to be a 12 minute special with random scenes happening in vol 20+ that will be delivered with a new BD collection made for the anniversary of the franchise. * cough, this is the same publisher as kyouhora that also released "brand new anime content" for the anniversary of a franchise that had 2 1 cours season anime, the similarities... |

| Definitely gonna rewatch it cause I don't remember wtf was going on |
kioramen said: No way, this just proofs that any show can get a sequel no game no life fans crying rn |
| i think they will adapt last few volume AND first few volume of sequel to promote sequel sales. i can't think any other reason to do new series other than that. the PV show some line from last volume IIRC. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| hurrah for ze fans! Hoping i can see a continuation of the cliffhanger-ish ending we got previously, but a remaster is good too |
| After all this time... I truly never thought I'd see the day that this would happen. |
| Slowly, but surely, every single anime dream comes true. Probably only NGNL S2 remains. |
 |
| I haven’t seen this show yet but I’m excited to know there is still more content to be made |
 |
| nice! didn’t think we’d get more ngnl fans’ hopium increases with every old ln sequel announcement lol |
 |
| Look like it's a remake/reboot!!! Haven't watched the first 2 season but it's make me happy when a beloved series gets a new season. |
We are now one step closer to a NGNL sequel. |

They definitely have a proper ending now to work with, so i hope it'll be like that. |
 |
| Yes the series is actually getting a new run, I am really happy about this! |
 |
| OH! YESSS! LET's GOOOOOOO........ Hope it will be a legit third season, not a reboot. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| LET'S GOOOO!!! I think we have officially entered the 'Remake' era of anime where every old classic anime/manga is getting a new adaptation. Next up are - Pandora Hearts, Berserk, Tokyo Ghoul, Gantz, No game no Life, Vagabond etc |
 |
Swagernator said: i think it will be something like naruto/boruto. it will adapt until last volume LN, with last few episode/minutes will tease content from the light novel sequel. that's probably most likely scenario that didn't mess too much. it could always go wrong tho.Kuma said: i think they will adapt last few volume AND first few volume of sequel to promote sequel sales. i can't think any other reason to do new series other than that. the PV show some line from last volume IIRC.

Leehozen said: It's gonna be a remake. (Most Probably)will it cover from where season 2 has stopped till the end of the light novel? |
| Chibi Reviews is gonna cry like a baby once he hears about this lol. 2022 is truly the year of revivals I've yet to touch this series though so depending on if this is a new adaptation or a continuation, I'll either check our the original anime or just start with this one |
| What has the world come to? So many anime that were thought to be dead are getting sequels! I hope it is continuation and they will adapt it fully this time. |

Me too.... me too... *cries in happiness and shock" This anime was the reason that I stumbled upon MAL while googling, created an account back in 2008... and now here we are with a new Spice and Wolf anime. 😭😭😭 I'm so happy that I'm still alive after 14 years. |

| I'm absolutely speechless... I'm crying, guys. I'm wiping my eyes with tissues as I type this very comment. Spice and wolf is special to me. I can't... I just can't speak right now. Edit: (A short moment later...) Mitsu no Yoake plays in my playlist right after I submitted this comment. UUUWWAAAAAAAAAA....!!!! T_T It is meant to be....!!! |

 "I'll be done soon. If you wait nicely, I'll buy you some sweetbread." said Lawrence.- I'll thank you not to treat me like a child. "Oh, you don't want any?" - I do. |
| Thats fantastic news, sounds like they are doing a "Fruits Basket" and starting from scratch Hopefully they will bring back the original voice actors |
| I still haven't watched this anime but maybe this announcement will speed up that process lol. Nice, and unexpected, news. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| its happening. its fucking happening. i can't believe it. |
| Time to watch season 1 and 2 I guess |
