After watching the ending, it's almost as if this season was merely a set-up to the movie/season 2 of Spice and Wolf.

I learned a lot about economics. Like silver coins, bartering, etc. Lawrence and Horo are probably the best anime characters in quite awhile. The music was well done, dialogue was excellent, and Horo's ears....so....fuzzy...

The animation does leave lots to be desired though. Reused scenes, shoddy lighting, etc. Horo was drawn fairly well, and I liked how they integrated the fanservice scenes without making it blatantly obvious (unlike, say, Elfen Lied).

According to some who read the novel beforehand, the anime stayed relatively true to the original script, but there were some points where changes were made. The link to the blog where the writer dissects this is somewhere in this forum, I forget the link...

Overall, best series this season. Greatly looking forward to the next installment.
