I really enjoyed the original, and this remake is fantastic for bringing it to a new audience, but as much as I love seeing something I enjoyed get a new coat of paint there’s still something… Missing, from this adaptation I suppose? Not that it’s bad or it’s missing anything through any fault of its own, it’s just that something about spice and wolf is greatly benefitted from the warmth of older animation. I do prefer the new voice acting though, the performances feel more nuanced and true to the characters. It’s an interesting give and take

In any case this episode is as charming as always but it’s definitely making me consider medium of animation more than I really have watching other shows.
