V4sh brings us this awesome review for the new S&W Ova!

ITS HORO TIME AGAIN!!!!

(Horo is not impressed that you haven’t watched this yet.)

I thought I’d review this as well to make up for the Valkyria Chronicles review being late. Following on from the largely unknown and underappreciated anime from last year, comes the first episode of the new series of Spice & Wolf. This episode was released on April 30th as a bonus DVD with the latest in the series of light novel written by Isuna Hasekura. This episode sees Lawrence and Nora getting to know each other better in a bar, and reminiscing about last season, Horo looks suitably impressed at this situation, and later falls ill. The usual random conversations ensue, usually food focused as this is Horo after all. This episode is rather more comical then the previous series had been, but still manages to keep a semi-serious tone, touching on the relationship between Horo and Lawrence, and Lawrence’s own mortality. The main focus in this OVA is Horo unlike the previous series in which Lawrence had taken the lead. The animation is slightly different to last season, most noticeable are Nora’s eyes which are substantially larger then they were in the past, but small changes like that are to be accepted as for this season there is a brand new art director. Music is absolutely stunning just as last seasons was. Due to this being a DVD only release the video quality is very high and the resolution is 720×480.
For all those fans of the series there is yet more Horo on the horizon, as the second series of Spice & Wolf is due to air in July. I personally cannot wait.
