Both are great epics, both are about the importance of respecting nature, the coexistence of the world of humans and the world of spirits, and both are about the encounter of two characters from very different worlds, who have a choice to make between fighting (aka destroying life even if it is to protect something) and being nurturing (aka perpetuating life). Also the visual style of both has a lot of volume and matter.

Spice and Wolf and Seirei no Moribito are both beautiful journeys in ancient lands (respectively Europe and Japan). Both are about the relationship between humans and greater powers like spirits, gods, Nature... and how humans slowly forget about them (possibly at their own detriment). Both are about the chance encounter between two characters from opposite worlds and how they come to respect and love each other. MAIN DIFFERENCE : Seirei no Moribito's main character is a mercenary who protects a prince. This series is thus one big adventure with one plot and many amazing fight scenes. Spice and Wolf's main character is not a fighter, he is a merchant. There is still a lot of thrilling action and tension in its various arcs, but don't expect too many epic fight scenes.
