About Spice and Wolf

Here is what Spice and Wolf (狼と香辛料) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, fantasy and romance anime by Imagin (2008). The premise: The peddler Kraft Lawrence travels through the realm selling all kinds of things. After visiting a village, he finds out a sleeping girl under the pelts in his cart.

Soon after, she has wolf ears and a tail. The wolf girl explains that she has been called a "god", but that her name is Holo and nothing more. Lawrence teases the girl a little, but after hearing more of her story, he is moved and resolves to accompany her further north.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Holo (Ami Koshimizu) and Kraft Lawrence (Jun Fukuyama) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Imagin, so the studio's house style defines how Spice and Wolf looks and moves on screen. The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Viewers rate it 8.0/10, which signals strong word of mouth. On the casting side, Ami Koshimizu voicing Holo gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2008, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
