Spice and wolf help

Yo. I just finished the first season of the new reboot of the new spice and wolf series. It was goddamn peak.

Now I'm sad. No season 2 yet. And I'm not about to read the novels. Just cuz there's a confirmed season 2 already. So to stay happy. I need to know something.

If I watch the old 2000's anime with the ova's and (I think there might be a movie. Not too sure, just saw some stuff that wasn't connected to a TV series.) Movies.

I want to know of I will be spoiled. I'm not going to rewatch sceans that uve already watched in the reboot. But I also want to know if I'm missing out on stuff the reboot hasn't added yet.

Finally. If I am missing out on stuff. What is your opinion? Should I wait for season 2 of reboot. Or should I watch the old show with stuff that isn't yet in the reboot.

Please help.✌️

There’s only a little bit at the end of the older series with stuff you haven’t seen. The ‘24 series was just a reboot.

Just go read the novels bro. They’re fucking peak. Nothing else is going to satisfy you; we’re in for a wait until Season2 comes along and that’s still not going to cover the entire series.

I must hold out for season 2. If season 2 gets canceled tho. I will read them. After throwing my phone through a wall of course.

The older series is mostly the same stories, except the last arc that is different. The old adaptation skipped the one (with the snake god worshipping village) and put in the next arc instead (which will be the first one when we get the next season). There is at least one short story in the old adaptation as well that was missing from the new, but it is not essential.

In short, you won't miss anything by skipping the older adaptation.

You can always just stop if you see something unfamiliar

I watched the original Spice & Wolf like a morbillion years ago, but I don't believe there is anything major you'll miss out by not watching it. I thought the remake version was really good too, so I'll stick with the new one going forward. You'll be able to get some more specific answers from the Spice & Wolf sub though

My post is awaiting mod approval there. But I know i can get a faster answer here. Thank you for your help. It's well Appreciated

The reboot is more Faithfull to light novels. The original merges characters, or makes small changes to try and simplify the story.

The latter half of the second season does covers material not covered in the new anime yet, but also skips an entire arc that was covered, merging important elements of it into what they covered. It's only about one arc ahead of the reboot. It's likely to be covered slightly differently if do you want to watch it.

You’re not missing too much other than the last arc.

They brought back the main voice actors for the remake so voice performances for both are amazing especially for the English dub.

I have heard people are abit harder on the 24 Japanese version. It is the og actress for holo in that but her voice has drastically changed over the years.

The English va sound just as good as they did back in 2008.

Also if you’re getting into the Light Novels I highly recommend the audio book version on audible.

It’s narrated by the English va’s of Lawrence and Holo

The old show is not as faithful to the source material, but I think it has some very good aspects to it, some of which the new show does not have. For instance, the details in the background. The new show is not necessarily as detailed as the old one. If you ask me, I like the old show aesthetic more than the new one. Also, Holo’s wolf form in the new show looks like a dog more than a wolf (wolves tend to have their front legs closer together than dogs in order to run longer distances, etc). As for being spoiled, the old show’s final arc is different from the new anime. It is still something from the light novel, but it is from further ahead. I would say that it is fine to watch the old show. You may find it fun to see the differences between both shows. There isn’t a movie that I am aware of, but there is an OVA, mainly about Holo, Lawrence, and the Shepherd getting together and reminiscing.

What's so great about it I remember trying to read the manga and I found it to be incredibly slow paced and boring nothing really seemed to be happening in it

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 16:35

People already wrote, but TL;DR.

- First season of older anime and first OVaare the same as first 13 episodes of a new anime. Just with some minor differences from the noveks.

- Second OVA is another sgort story from LN vol.7 (same as first OVA/ep.13 if a new anime).

- First 6 episodes of S2 of older anime are the same as ep. 14-19 of a new anime.

- The remaining 6 episodes are a new story tgar will be adapted at tge beginning of the new season.
