maxcherry715 said: A pretty good episode overall, the wolf part was pretty awesome (though if that wanted to include some action, I wish she had fought those "youngster" wolves). But, since when did Lawrence have complete toleration of her wolf form, I mean that episode (don't remember the number) showed him get used to it at that moment, but I still think the transition would still freak him out a bit (I know I could never get used to the idea of a gigantic wolf let alone a cute girl transforming into one). The series maintains its quality throughout, so a 9/10 for it. I think thats why she said close your eyes. It seems like he's grown accustom to her wolf form. It shows he trusts her more now then he did before. It's funny seeing Horo try and get Lawrence to confess his love to her and him toying with her even more. I wonder how things will turn out for them when they finally reach their destination. We known they like each other but she's already admitted that humans and wolfs cant coexisting because of age and because of her being a non human. I hope theres a happy ending :D. |

| Overall very good series with an unusual theme (commerce) and an unusual female lead character (Horo) who is the main attraction of the series in my opinion. Too bad the animation is awful and the plot seems quite episodic sometimes. But the main characters and the opening/ending are so great that we can somewhat overlook these weaknesses. Moreover, there's still room for a second season, so it's all good. 9/10 |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| good ending i give it 9/10 and now i'm looking forward to the OVA :| |

cyruz said: Very unique show, one of the 3 good anime of this season. Horo was awesome, I can't wait for the DVD episode. 9/10 Word by Word! |
| Haha the ending was pure gold! Here's to an S2! I don't understand why you aren't allowed to set this to complete until the release of the DVD only episode. Can't the anime itself be changed to 13/14 instead of 13/13? Makes no sense to have 13/13 and still be on 'watching'. |
| very nice show, a sequel is very much warranted. |
Jacut said: Too bad the animation is awful... I've got to disagree there. This isn't an action show, so the animation's fine. Spotty at times, but certainly not awful... We really need a second season... |
 |
| Great episode, and great series. Although i would have liked it to finish with 1series, and they live happily ever after :) And on a side note, i cant mark it complete becouse the DVD episode doesnt come out for afew months? .. it most likely doesnt even have anything to do with the story. |
 |
| It's better this way,there's surely gonna be a 2nd season,so even moar Horo! Tho the ending was kinda plain,I loved this episode,plus we saw wolf-form-Horo in action =D |
| I gave it 4/5 because I was hoping till the end for a kiss, but I got disappointed once again XD Hopefully we'll get a secon season, it's got a lot of potential. |
 |
| I was reluctant to start watching this show, but it grew on me quickly after I started. I gave it an 8/10 overall, and if we don't get a season 2, I will fly to Japan, and urinate on those responsible during media coverage!!!! |
 |
| oh finally i watched it, something wrong with my browser and veoh just wouldn't load. overall good, just that it hard to understand what they say, and sometimes i feel awkward, but no doubt one of the good animes this season. now i can't wait for epi 7 |
| Good ending episode. The scene at the end with Horo and Lawrence was awesome. Hoping for a second season. And more Horo ;D |
     |
| at first description, i was turned off because of the merchant thing etc. but i gave it a chance for some reason and lo...a 9/10 show! what kept me from giving this a 10 was the merchant/trading parts where i got lost..maybe because of the subs(was using BSS..was ayako's clearer?) or maybe im just a noob -_- like the one in that last ep...i didn't quite get the thing about the gold. i was confused with all the numbers lawrence was blabbering about(6 thousand? 400? 600?) from what i could understand...he "tricked" nora into continuing to smuggle the gold because simply taking it wasnt enough right? and so how much did they get all in all? and what was the five hundred rumione he was talking about? he was selling the gold back to remerio? well in any case, i was lost there but yeah, the show was still good. OH. and before i forget. no kiss! :( T_T horo was soooooooooooo cute when she was running after lawrence when he said "however.." and she was waiting for his answer XD "uh..uh..oh..ma..matte!" just so cute i melted XD |
 |
| There wasn't enough gold, you were correct in that. He "took" the earnings from the Gold and then sold it to Remerio at a higher price. Since they obviously didn't have any money for that (their company was on the verge of bankruptcy), he just took enough to pay his debt and forced them to enter into a 10 year debt with him. Basically, they will be funding his travels for ten years. :-) |
 |
| Ah, the ending = <3 Horo and Lawrence together are just awesome. I need a second season! >=3 |
     |
| Hmm...I'll have to admit this wasn't quite what I was expecting. It seemed a little anti-climactic from the last episode. I thought there would be some more drama and action. Overall this series didn't 'wow' me. It had some good parts that would get me excited, but then it would juts mellow down again. It's not bad, but it's not great...and some of the wolf anatomy in this final episode looked pretty bad. =/ The whole economy thing confused me at parts and I couldn't quite follow, so that didn't help either. Oh well, it was still a pretty interesting series to watch, it just didn't have the kind of plot that would keep my attention for a long time. |
| I really enjoyed every episode of Spice and Wolf. It will race into my favorite list right after this post. I prefer thoughtful, intelligent and mature anime. In addition to that Im a huge "catgirl" fan. So, this show is just made for me ;) Hehe, I had to prepare myself mentally for the last episode, quite I while. Now I watched it and normally should be extremly disappointed, because the three main things I was hoping for didnt occur: 1) An intense wolf-fight 2) A touching reunion of Lawrence and Horo 3) Wolf-babies with white hair and red eyes (ok....maybe I wanted too much) Interestingly enough Im not dissapointed. This last episode left me with a satisfied feeling. They are still on their track, waiting for new adventures and quarrels to come. Its an open, but also very happy ending. *Thumbs up* I personally have no choice. Im addicted. This is a clear 10/10 for me! ALL HAIL TO THE TAIL! |

| Love it.. but an open ending? !<_< hope there is a 2ed season.. (plz plz plz) and still wating for ep 7 |
     |
| The overall plot of "mechanting" didn't interest me, but I loved Horo. I hope they make a second season and elaborate on the characters' relationships more. |
| I would like to give you some additional information about Spice and Wolf which I stumbled across surfing the Internet. But I dont want to open an extra thread for it. So if you are interested......"PUSH IT". |

| Yes, I really liked this show and after the terrible disappointment that was True Tears episode 13 I would give this honors as the best show of the winter. |
| So how long till the DVD episode, and the sequrl, please a sequel. I liked this episode. |
| My anime list |
| great episode nonetheless, too bad it last only 13 episode. i wouldn't anticipating episode 7 which was only in dvd (but i will watch it when it is available anyway), but i do hope there are season 2. this show is too good to be end now. i mean, there are much more things they can do together! i want more horo! 9 out of 10! ^3^ |
 |
| I'll admit that halfway through this show I became sort of...bored. However, even after saying that, the last few episodes were so good that I couldn't stop watching. I really hope there'll be a second season. 9/10 Maybe a bit generous, but I enjoyed the last few episodes so much, and looking back on the show almost everything was perfect. AikoD said: I was hoping till the end for a kiss, but I got disappointed once again XD I was thinking that too and like yourself I was disappointed, but perhaps its something to look forward to XD |
   |
| Even though there was no kiss - I loved it! And yeah - The kiss is actually something to look forward to - a second season would be useless if there would be a kiss in the first ;) I frickin laughed during the church bell scene =D |
 |
| Pretty good ending over all 9/10. Can you smell a second season in the making? |
| it's been a long while that I've been completely sucked into the characters. The character development is amazing, and i really really hope there's more. I was not disappointed by the end i did think there would be more fighting with horo and the young wolf but, in the end not disappointed. Mostly because, I think, with the character development so strong and deep, its as if I trust the decisions they make lol. really odd, and weird for me to say something like that, but it was like 'horo doesn't want to fight?' okay that's fine with me... lol >_< I will be disappointed if there's not more! that bell scene also made me laugh. Great Great anime, a definite 10 out of 10. |
 |
| I frankly loved it. And I also wish they had something of FTGT's fantasy, cuz I would love to see that happen! :] But no, I'm really hopeful for a second season but like some other really good series, coughFate/staynightcough, its kinda a slim chance for a season 2. They wrapped it up real nice but they need a good plot. Maybe some more danger? More bankruptcies? Maybe? Hmm... or more LawrencexHoro action would be great as well. They should def. make a Spice and Wolf movie, OVA, and season 2. And if that happened...well I would be in heaven! Though all in all, the ending was great. It's always good to leave freedom to the imagination! EDIT: Actually if there is to be a season 2, I won't expect it until next year. But let's just say they could release a coupla movies and OVAs for us right? The chances are about 65% i say in favor of season 2 if the popularity keeps going up but then again coughfate/staynightcough....... |

| what a really nice ending. but i kinda expected more (romance)but hey, it could happen in the ova (ep 7) i cant wait!!! >.< |
 |
| Great series, good ending. Definitely want a sequel, but whether we'll get one or not i'm not sure. Overall, 9/10. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| My affection to this anime went so far that I even prepared peaches in honey for myself 'cuz from the moment Horo started to desire them so much I felt I WANT THEM! xD |
 |
| That was a good series loved the whole story I give it 10/10 now only if there was a sequel.. |
| hoping for a sequel, but thinking twice, just what will happen to that uniquely cute couple when Lawrence have taken horo to the north, will they part ways, but that's too sad for me, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, guys, im thinking twice about it, this series is a little good by it self, but not really complete, oooh well |
| It was a nice ending, but they definitely need another season. I was disappointed that Horo & Lawrence didn't kiss or anything. It seemed like they crammed too much into this last episode as well. Please come out with a 2nd season!! XD |
 |
| A Really great series. |
 |
| I don't know why, but I found the series to be very interesting. |
 |
| ahh sequel so tht they actually reach the north, and i wanted more couple action at the end (some confessing or kissing?) but if they do an OVA/sequel with tht, ill be more than happy :D |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| really awesome series. one of the animes i will always remember. and one of the animes i consider really awesome. really awesome and cool episode. i felt relieved when i saw horo in her clothes.... lawrance does not have to spend on more clothes xD (not that i would mind seeing horo in new cute outifts) horo wolf = awesomeness its nice that noora survived. it was nice to see that it all worked out for lawrance, horo, and noora at the end, horo was too cute. her blush was nice now i wish for a second season..... there will hopefully be one the anime was a 8.5/10. but with the addition of horo in it, the anime became an easy 10/10 for me. |
     |
| Man the ending sure hung us up. Looking forward to the next season (if there'll be) My rate is 8/10 . Yes it's unique and interesting but not enough for me to give it a 9. This series needs more effect on some aspects. |
| Wow!Ending mede me want more!DAMN HORO IS SO FUCKING HAWT AND CUTE!!!Want more!SEASON 2 PLEASE OR ILL KILL MYSELF!!!PLEASEEEE!!!!! Ending:9/10 Overall: 10/10 |

| This series is uniquely superb. An amazing! This gave me a warm feeling inside =] |
 |
| i loved this anime. it had some really great qualities and was really unique. i think it stands out against all the others that are out at the moment. ^^ i really can't wait until the next season. ~^,^~ |
     |
| Excellent anime series, loved the romance between Lawrence and Horo the most. Ending was blunt though, hoping for a new season soon. Anyone have any idea when it will start airing? Loved this anime, 9/10 from me. |

| Well, there is, operantly 9 books and only 2 was used for first season. Reading some the third book right now at B-K and it is very interesting. Absolutely waiting for the sequel. What concerns me most is |
| I shall know no fear as I am fear incarnated |
| Haha, I really like how Horo heard that Norah was coming, tried to cause a scene to make Norah jealous then Lawrence got the last laugh... Anyway, I really like the dynamics of the two couple, very very unique, something which I've not seen in any anime so far... they actually actively flirt with each other without one or the other being embarrassed or shy about it. The fact that they're actively flirting with each other playfully is what keeps me watching.... I'd prefer there to be more action tho. The show does lack depth... but the fact that Horo is allowed to flirt and act cute makes up for it. |
| . |
| I give it a 9.5/10 It's definitely not action, nor eechi, nor rollicking comedy, it's a light drama. And for what it is, it's an outstanding effort. The characters are well defined and in places the artwork is outstanding. It's good to see a strong female lead in an anime that isn't Dolly Parton in zero g or a goth gunslinger, but instead is a smart, likable person that is there on her own whim. |
| Now that was a fun anime. Smart, funny, exciting, interesting, subtle, and enjoyable. Knowing that there is a second season planned helps a great deal, obviously. I imagine that the second season will be more adventure oriented than this, although not necessarily as largely as that might imply. It's just a hunch. A very unique anime in that, aside from the language and animation, there was really nothing Japanese about it at all, leaving out most of the familiar anime elements that make us love others. It did truly manage to draw out a good experience for us, and I'm very glad that I watched it. It's a rare occasion that I give this score: 9/10. If you're just checking this thread for reviews, WATCH THIS ANIME! |
