Spice and Wolf


Genres: adventure, drama, fantasy, romance, supernatural

Themes: Economics, Trading


Synopsis: Craft Lawrence, a 25 year old peddler travelling from town to town selling and buying various things to make a living during a period much like Europe in the Middle Ages. One night when stopped at the town of Pasroe, he finds in his wagon a 250 year old pagan wolf deity girl named Holo. She appears to be that of a 15 year old girl, except for a wolf tail and ears. She introduces herself as the town's goddess of harvest who has kept it blessed with good harvests of wheat for many years. Despite having the responsibility to watch over the town, she wants to go back to her homeland in the north called Yoitsu, she believes the people have already forsaken her anyway and that she has kept her promise to maintain the good harvests. She manages to bargain her way out of the village by making a deal with Lawrence to take her with him. As they travel, her wisdom helps increase his profits, but at the same time, her true nature draws unwanted attention from the church.

Comment: I find this anime rather interesting because this anime really does focus on how people managed their business. Even though the setting is in Europe during the middle age, it still gives us a clear idea on how we're dealing with business like how are we suppose to gain profits, the ups and downs in business and how can we determine the investment that leads us to profits. I can say that this anime really highlights the important things in business. This anime really focused a lot about business but that doesn't mean that it's meant for business-minded people. You don't really have to worry so much about it because the strategies highlighted in this anime is very simple. Speaking of the storyline, the storyline is easy to understand despite of everything about Holo is dumped in one episode. I can say that this anime is kinda similar to Mushishi in a sense that there's a brief description about the characters (in Mushishi's case is the introduction to Mushi and Ginko) followed by traveling to various places. Overall, I can say this is anime is a must watch whether you're watching it for learning about the basic things about business or just for fun's sake.
