This show was quite a refreshing break from Bleach, at least until the next episode rolls in. But, I thoroughly enjoyed Spice and Wolf, even more so because I trade in the currency market.
Yes, in the last episode when Horo mentioned she settled the matter with the wolves via mature means, at first I thought "sex" with the big bad wolf. But later I came to think she just prostrated herself and begged for her and company to be left alone.
I would really like them to create a second season. I felt that the main plot driving the story and keeping mine and most other people's attention was not so much Macroeconomics 101, but rather the developing amorous relationship between the two main characters. In episode four, Lawrence and Horo almost kissed, and she was willing to let him hold her.
Later in the fan-fiction section I'll have to write my own piece of work concerning the two, with a crossover into Bleach-land, of course. Here's a new zanpakuto release command -- Stray, Lobo Fuerte!
