A Traveling Merchant and His Unique Companion
5 Stars
A Traveling Merchant and His Unique Companion
- Synopsis: This anime showcases the adventures of a traveling merchant whose life changes drastically when he encounters a wolf goddess longing to return to her home. From commerce to relationships, this anime is a breath of fresh air choosing to emphasize business and trading as its focal point. Along the way, the relationship between the main character and this lonely wolf goddess begins to develop as their time together increases. Just like in business and relationships: it can be a roller-coaster ride with its ups, downs, and twists and turns.===========================================================================================================- Comments: This was a nice refreshing anime. It's pretty dialogue-heavy. As such, it might appeal to a more mature audience that doesn't need over-stimulation from constant escalating fight scenes like many animes. It's a fairly relaxing and educational anime about many concepts such as economics and commerce/trading, among other things. If you enjoy animes with lots of exposition, as opposed to action, this may be an enjoyable anime. There's also some romance in this anime.- Analysis: Holo, like many females in animes/real life, are clever at using men to get them to do things.This might entail that they act vulnerable, or otherwise have some sort of aura that influences men to do things for them; this is quite relevant to reality. Especially, if the female is considered attractive.Social interactions are heavily emphasized. Not only does this help build up character development, this also may infer to the fact that life heavily revolves around relationships. After all, it's extremely difficult to live a life of seclusion. Since humans tend to be social, too much seclusion could eventually result in them going insane.Moreover, human nature can be very ugly in various situations. One might include that fear or desires may be so great, that one would sacrifice anything and anyone in their way. This is easily backed by a myriad of horrible things that were done in the past. Especially, during war-times. It's also addressed that humans are selfish. Many will not hesitate to use someone or something to gain what they want, and then discard them when they have no use for them (such as "friends" with benefits). A sad, but all too true occurrence.- Features: English and Japanese audio, as well as English subtitles. Contains 26 episodes on 4 Blu-rays, and 26 episodes on 4 DVDs with a run-time of about 10.5 hours. Rated TV-14 for some violence and suggestive scenes. There is censorship, however.- Conclusion: In short, this anime is dialogue-heavy, contains some romance, emphasizes business and money as one of the main subjects, and a cute wolf girl. It has plenty of educational material, and is refreshing since it takes place in a fantasy world that doesn't emphasize sorcery and blades like many other fantasy genres do. This is more suited for a mature audience that enjoys exposition and character development.===========================================================================================================- Recommendations: Maoyu Maou Yusha, Yusibu, Chobits, Bakemonogatari, Mayo Chiki!, Hataraku Maou-sama!, Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon?, Tales of the Abyss, Blade Dance of the Elementalers, Yona of the Dawn, Absolute Duo, Sky Wizards Academy, and Re:Zero.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anime is great 5/5. Delivery and packaging not so much, I would give it 2/5...
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2020
Anime itself deserves 5 stars. Art is really pleasant to look at, soundtrack is marvelous and the characters are just lovely. And while it is one of these "chill" stories, there is plenty of things going on to draw you in. Already watched it way back but wanted to have my own physical copy.

And now excuse the following rant that starts with one big...

BUT the pictures depicting product are misleading. First picture shows that plastic Blu-Ray box has its own external packaging in multi-format option (1st picture) and quite nice looking one with nice pictures on both sides (I bought the multi-format version). But not only I received only the plastic box (and I really was hoping for that extra-cover as it would look really neat on my shelf), but it was quite damaged as well. I mean you can see that the package was flying. And I do not mean the USA-Poland route. Hard to tell if this is how it arrived in Poland or if it was local courier fault but the content in the box was not secured in any way in the first place. No bubble wrap, no plastic bags with air, nothing. This package had to cross the ocean so considering that the way it was backed was abyssmal. The seller was Amazon Export Sales LLC so I was expecting a bit more... 2/5 (1 point for good time time of delivery)

Discs are looking intact and luckily not damaged (hopefully, will have to verify that asap) but I will have to check that as at least the first DVD was loose and the last Blu-Ray Disc was partially dislocated... I will suck it up and buy myself a Blu-Ray box to swap the cover and discs to, but I won't be able to get the missing part and that is kind of a letdown...

Reassuming once again:
- Spice and Wolf anime 5/5
- Package I received 2/5
