Totally agree with this! HoloXLawrence is a couple that kind of snuck up on me and by the second season was deeply invested in their relationship and actions. The whole anime was just a nice break from "action! action! action!" and revolving everything around business practices and dealings was just perfect.

The banter that was traded between them was pure gold. They would just look at eachother and it was worth more then any words they could use. There chemistry on screen would make any hollywood script writer proud.

There chemistry on screen would make any hollywood script writer proud. The natural progression from travelling companions due to convenience, to admiration and partnership in business, to playful teasing, to acknowledgement and confession of love is done so much better than just about any show I can think of, anime or not. Far too often the relationship goes from zero to love in the blink of an eye. While I believe that "love at first sight" can happen (heck, it happened to me) that is not the same thing as the depth of love that makes you want to stay with someone and be by their side, come what may, making their dreams your own and entrusting your dreams to their care. That is where Spice and Wolf shines! Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide And Holo is the one who recognizes it first, despite the fact that Lawrence is the first to utter the words. Her dreams at the beginning of season 2 are very much indicative of her state of mind. She chooses Lawrence over her own kind in the dream, then sees the long range impact of that choice. Her fear of being left alone, again, when Lawrence's days on earth are over is what is holding her back in the 2nd season and what ultimately makes her ask him to let them part after the deal is over. His realization that he has no desire to live without her makes him go against her wishes. So romantic!

We get to see all the ups & downs of a "real" relationship. There are very few anime that do this--it's either slapstick or harem for the most part--so when a show like this comes around, I appreciate it all the more.

It is bad in the case of Corpse Princess because the main character sounds like a prepubescent scrub with no interest for the role, and maybe Speed Grapher...just because I can't imagine the voices being better than the original at all, because Saiga's voice was just so right.

I've subscribed to the fan sub copy, they're at 11. I forgot the site, but if you google around you'll find a forum where you only need to post your email to receive copies. They work on it daily and ask for donation lol

kadmos1 47905 cr points Send Message: 26 / M / Glendale, AZ Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 8/10/12 Jun "Lelouch" Fukuyama was Lawrence and Ami "Kallen" Koshimizu was Holo and likely were picked for this couple since Lelouch and Kallen had so much romantic vibes/sexual tension in Code Geass. Koshimizu goes from playing a wolf goddess that a man is in love with to playing the titular Himari (who, indeed, is busty) in Omamori HImari. With Himari, she plays a cat spirit that clearly the main guy wants to bone. I'm trying to say that she played characters that would involve the respective sex slang for dog/cat.

I don't know what their sales figures were like, but the author has completed the story. Yen Press is publishing them here in the US. Volume 6 came out in June. (I need to pick that up sometime...)
