Nop.

 

Spice and Wolf is fracking brilliant and very mature about its... err, ecchi? I wouldn't even call it that since they don't make a big deal about it.

 

So Holo's first appearance is with her butt naked. But it's never really emphasised, she's naked because she's a wolf and has been for the last few hundred years. Lawrence doesn't really make a big deal about it either.
 

Obviously he's more concerned that SHE'S A FRACKING WOLF.

So it's very mature about romance and I'd say it's probably one of the better, if not, best romance you can find in anime.

 

I'm reading the Light novels.

 

Still on vol14

 

Got three more to go.

 

In the end of this one they DO SOMETHING FINALLY (I looked ahead.)

 

Jesus that took long.

 

Oh and when it wants to be sexy...

 

 

It does it without typical fanservice.

 

God I love Holo's voice. That alone is fanservice for me.

Is there a site for the light novels or do you actually own them? Because I need to get in on this, I want to know how it ends ;_;  (PM me if you want)

Yeah the soundtrack is charming. Very folksy and medieval. It fits the setting perfectly.

 

But that first opening will always be special <3

 

 

Oh and bro, if you do fall into the trap Chewin and I did, and start the Light Novels, I advise you to read carefully.

 

For a light novel it sure has a lot of complicated plots going on.

 

Especially that damned Narwhale arc. How Lawrence got out of that one is amazing. It's great because the author never goes beyond what Lawrence can do as a peddler and a character. He doesn't suddenly become L Lawliet and pulls some amazing brainstorming; nor does he asspull some "contact" who's a Lord and can do y and x. The dude manages to resolve conflict within the bounds marked by his flaws and strengths.

 

If it wasn't for the crappy prose from the translations (I would so love to know Japanese just to see how the prose works) they would be very very good reads.

Well I bought 5 volumes already. The rest are still being published.

 

So I torrented the rest. Sorry, but there's no way in hell I'm waiting till like 2016 for the last novel. And that's an IF. Yen Press won't translate if they don't sell.

 

But at least I'm buying them.

 

You should be able to find them quite easily with a quick google search.

 

I'd link it, but I'm not sure if the BioWare forum rules allow linking to torrent sites.

Quite humorously she comes across as cute in the anime, but in the light novels she can be rather rude, to the point I would like to throw her out of a window myself (which Lawrence actually thinks of on several occasions). Truly, his behavior and annoyance is certainly understandable. 

 

And yes, Brina Palenica does a masteful job as a VA. Dub all the way.

I suppose voice acting, animation (facial expressions etc) does a lot. Especially when you're familiar with the anime and then head to the light novel.

 

But yeah, she can be a burden sometimes, her attitude is far more sour and well... yeah, rude. But where I'm at... she's mellowed quite nicely. I don't know where you are now though.

 

Oh, and the prose doesn't help -.-

 

I'm so picky when it comes to prose.

 

Really. I'm awful xD

Another fan service in anime? Using Kawaii factor here (instead of Tsundere).

Aye, Lawrence and Holo respectively are well rounded and established characters who both bring a distinctive role to the narrative, alongside the dynamic relationship between them is mature and well executed. It is certainly something one can appreciate.

To certain extent yes, but there is more to it than meets the eye. I initially had rather low impressions on the show, but changed my mind rather quickly when I experienced it.

Alright so Spice and WOlf will be one of the two shows. Suppose it will replace Hellsing. What to replace Bebop with is a task that could take millenia but I'll figure it out one way or another. If I don't I still have a dozen or so shows that might be utter garbage or silly fun to pick from.

Yeah, it's one the few very adult relationships you can find in anime. Alternatively, they also have this immaturity about them that isn't aggravating at all and plays at their strengths.

 

In other words.

 

It's adorable.

 

Edit:

 

Wtf

 

Endearing?

 

Jeez.

 

Goddamit sim.

Oh btw.

 

People

 

Watch Bakuman or Silver Spoon.

 

But Bakuman preferably.

 

Why?

 

Cos it's finished. Though Silver Spoon is better.

 

But Bakuman is great.

 

You guys should watch/read it.

 

Damn it.

Think I'll see it as future fuel for our struggle when our truce is over and all other opponents are crushed.

Nah but we all know you're a hater so of course you'd say that.

Nope.

 

Wait for my whole Naruto series rambling post thing that will be long maybe anyways. Going to go over my whole time with the series.

 

 

 

And everyone should just read Bakuman.

 

It's a manga about making manga so you should read it as a manga if you want the full experience of manga about making manga.

I have also read the VN long before watching the UBW anime but there is still a difference between the VN and seeing it animated. 

And some battles look amazing in the UBW anime.

It's really amazing how captivating GitS:SAC can be. I've seen the whole series at least four times over already, but I still got hooked up for a mini-streak for several episodes because they just hooked me.

 

The standalone episodes aren't bad at all, but when the series takes to its core story, it really shows it's strenght.

Hellsing: Ultimate is an excellent action show with some really dark aspects but not without a sense of comedy and being entertaining in the mids of bodies getting mutilated in countless of ways. Can't say that I recall that many bodies that left the screen unharmed one way or another. Alucard is a rather solid lead character but would get boring if not complemented by other characters like Seras or a few other very notable characters. It was a mostly entertaining watch with some issues here and there but none that were too intrusive on the experience
