This is a discussion thread for episode 3 of the new Spice and Wolf anime. If you hadn't heard, the show is currently airing and is a re-adaptation of the story rather than a continuation from the previous show (even though the main voice cast is returning). It's still early in the season (probably 24-25 episodes, so plenty of time to catch up and join in the weekly episode threads!
Thank you, I have heard about some new S&W anime, though I was hoping it would continue the manga, not readapting it.
Such a shame, I might give it a try, but I have the original and it's so good, why do we need to redo that...
Since you said you're reading or have read the manga, I'd highly recommend the light novels. They're great if you like the series!
Unfortunately I don't have it, and haven't read it.
Only watched the anime, both series, which I love so much, one of my top all time picks (first will always be Madoka though). Absolutely top music score, I would listen to the OST during work, when I still could listen to anything. I also want to see where the story moves forward, but haven't yet found the time :(
Well, the LNs are licensed by Yen Press assuming you want to acquire them either digitally or in physical form.
Side note: I could never get into Madoka no matter how many times I tried. I don't know why, and I can't hate the series, per se, but I just could not finish.
I don't know many anime watchers, and everyone around me loved it. One colleague had issues at first, I told him to get past the third ep, and he finished it that day.
I remember my first time. It was midnight, I knew I had to go sleep, but thought I check out first episode for the heck of it. The animation is beautiful, score is very captivating, so I decided to forego sleep a bit more. It was very lighthearted, kind of silly but in a good way, very unlike most anime I've seen before. Then I finished the series at 4AM absolutely emotionally rocked, I never cried so much in my life, and I have been through some shit.
It's totally because the core feels very personal to me, and it gives me hope I've never felt or could imagine before. But everything other is absolutely top tier, too. I love Shaft, saw most of their stuff way back when, and this is definitely one of their most timeless pieces, because it's so stylized. OST is kind of hard to listen to randomly, but fits the anime perfectly. And the story.. it just feels right, and complete. Without any spoilers, definitely one of the very few complex story element implementations done correctly.
Unrelated to this, don't ever watch anything beyond the anime, or first two movies. Anything after that never happened, is not related to this story, and Madoka is finished and done after the 12th episode.
I think the third episode was where I really fell off. I think Madoka is unique in that I couldn't bring myself to say it was bad, so I just left it as an unscored drop on my AniList, with the caveat that said drop isn't exactly a statement about the show's quality, but more that the show (and really most Shaft shows) just don't strike my fancy. The lone exception as yet has been 3-Gatsu no Lion, which is absolutely fucking fantastic.
Pretty sure that's the idea, but they need to start over to continue. The original skipped a book.
