Although Vol.4 is skipped, since it is the separated episode, I think that it is suitable for OVA.

The picture from Episode 0

Dumb question, is episode 0 out yet and I missed it or are these screenshots from the trailer? I know that the anime doesn't start until June/July but I keep forgetting the date of 0...

It is a special that will be bundled with the next novel on April 30.

seaghyn16 · 2009-04-18, 19:44

looks like we've got an air date of July this year....soo far away....

Anyway, around the same time (summer of 2009) the second game will be released.

Season 1 is already re-airing.

uhm...Volume 11 (side stories) is also going to be released May 10th next month.

GuidoHunter_Toki · 2009-04-18, 22:05

Although the wait is going to kill me, I'm okay with a release date of July as I have way to many things I'm watching as of now and by then some of them will be done. I tend to to stop watching shows sometimes when I get a too many shows packed into my viewing schedule. Heck, I have my american TV programs to watch as well.

*skreech!* Okay stop whoa hold the phone here.. game?

I apologize for clearly missing something here, but there's an SaW game?

Part of me is eagerly anticipating the explanation... the other part of me is wondering how you fit 1/2 hr explanation-of-monetary-system episodes into a game format.. :lol:

Yes there is a Spice and Wolf game for the DS. It is a dating and business simulation/visual novel type of game.

Haha, I always laugh when I hear this. Dating and business combi.

Can someone help me out with something? What is the thing that's coming out with episode 00 this month? It's a novel of the same short story right? At least that's what everything is making me think. But then how come it's not being included in lists of the novels for the OtK series?

Vexx · 2009-04-19, 11:03

Kind of like Utawarerumono's SRPG "dating/combat" game..... o.O though actually the S&W game sounds more interesting to me - I don't own a DS and don't really plan to.

The second DS game can make another character go together in addition to Horo, and we can enjoy a love triangle.
I make Abe go together by all means, and I want Horo and Abe to quarrel.

Episode0 is DVD bundled into the visual novel which will be released on April 30.
The story is "Wolf and Amber Melancholy" in novel Vol.7.

More screenshots and character sketches at dengeki and gigazine (NSFW - warning for nudity).

ETA: There is also an english translation of the gigazine article: http://en.gigazine.net/index.php?/ne..._spicy_wolf_2/

GuidoHunter_Toki · 2009-04-20, 15:35

The eyes for the most part look good with the expressions of Horo, but those "normal" expressions or faces she makes with her eyes wide open, the eyes still don't seem right. I defenitely think the pyshical features are much better than before.

That’s kind of the thing I'm not getting though. The "visual novel" part. Is it a game, a novel or what?

After looking at these pics from the new season I've noticed something. How come Lawrence never gets to experiment with his wardrobe?

He does. It's just that Horo keeps stealing them from him before he gets to wear them himself, leaving him only one outfit to wear.

Hmm...I see. You know, Lawrence would look nice in the clothes Horo wears.

LKK · 2009-04-21, 11:53

If you remember, the first outfit Horo wore really was Lawrence's. She took his clothing she found in the cart. Turned out it was his best set of clothes.

Ryuou · 2009-04-21, 13:04

Yeah it's too bad we never got to see him wear it......

From what I remember, for this company they call their regular novels "visual novels" so I think that means that episode 0 will just ship with the next book.

Yeah that's what I've heard, but the next regular OtK novel (although it'll be the 2nd side story novel) will be released next month. So episode 0 isn't coming with that. I was thinking that it would just be the same story as episode 0 in novel form, but that sounds like it'd be very short.
