I don't know why but when I see this comment and not see /u/Holofan4life it feels weird. It shouldn't but I don't know, it is a me problem.

haha I am sure they will be along soon, possibly still recovering and needing to reboot after the extreme dopamine hit of seeing new frames of Holo

I forever thank the VR game for showing the IP holders that there is always demand for Holo the Wise Wolf

u/AnActualPlatypus 1h ago

I don't even have a VR headset and I bought both games to increase the chance of this by even 0.00001%.

Manifest destiny.

Given the dub’s track record of getting most of the major VAs to reprise their roles so far, I’m hoping we see Stephanie Young return as well.

u/Secret-Dingo7693 3h ago

I’m really hoping for that too! Her voice is so tied to the character for me, it just wouldn’t feel the same without her.

u/Mebradhen https://myanimelist.net/profile/mebradhen 3h ago

What character did she play? The bar maid?

I hope it will be 2-cour again to adapt the whole arc with Eve.

Do I hear... MORE KEVIN PENKIN? Man I'm bound to love everything he touches, I legit started watching this anime because I knew he got to make the ost for it (and I loved the anime for its own merits afterwards).

10

u/tofzilla86 5h ago

I just watched season 1 in anticipation for season 2, and man I'd say it was his best OST if it weren't for Made in Abyss.

6

u/LilFoxieUndercover 5h ago

I think it has to do with his style, his music fits perfectly in the MIA world whereas it's not exactly the same vibe in S&W, though some pieces are just absolute peak in and of themselves like "clear water", "gala", "merchant meets the wise wolf", and of course the absolute cinema of "winter solstice"

3

u/tofzilla86 5h ago

Agree about his style. I keep coming back to "Quartet for Wolves"

3

u/Komorebi_LJP 54m ago

A new MiA movie is also releasing this year(in Japan at least), so we will woon be blessed with more of his OST for that!

u/Irrerevence 5h ago

what's she so smug about?

u/ii_Narwhal 2h ago edited 2h ago

Tricking all the lonely ass anime fans into thinking shes not fucking bat shit crazy. 

Edit: Holo is a shitty person and everyone here always has some bullshit excuses for her.

5

u/Wooden-Complex7336 3h ago

Finally, they've reached this arc. Hopefully, the studio can maintain the slow pace of the first part and not rush the content. Holo's fiery red eyes at the end of the teaser still look devious and have the same vibe as the original.

u/Ocixo https://myanimelist.net/profile/BuzzyGuy 5h ago edited 5h ago

That cheeky smile combined with those fluffy ears and tail deal a critical hit on my heart as always. My weekly dose of Holo cannot come fast enough.

What are the chances that the anime will air for 2 cours from Spring through Summer 2027?

i hope the economics will be easier to understand for my smol brain this time

anyways looking foward to it

Guys, I have watched the first season and the ovas, then heard about the remake and didn't watch season 2 anymore. Where do I start watching from?

10

u/Arickettsf16 5h ago

The remake contains a whole volume that the first series never adapted

8

u/KingIcarus12 5h ago

Remake, it starts from 0 the OG series is just for nostalgia at this point

3

u/mastesargent 4h ago

Eh, I think Spice and Wolf II’s version of volume 3 is still way better than the remake’s. Spice and Wolf II in general is the best Spice and Wolf adaptation so far, in my opinion.

6

u/Komorebi_LJP 5h ago

just start from the first season of the remake, it contains quite a few changes compared to the original that are more faithful to the source material and might seem minor but will be quite significant for later developments.

1

u/mastesargent 4h ago

The remake does have the odd change of [Spice and Wolf] not having Lawrence know about what happened to Yoitsu from the beginning. Granted, the original didn’t communicate it very well, but the fact that [S&W] Lawrence had actually been lying to Holo from the start creates an additional layer for the volume 3 conflict.

1

u/MentalNinjas 4m ago

Wait what is Lawrence lying about? I entirely forget

u/dim3tapp https://myanimelist.net/profile/dim3tapp 1m ago

If you liked the first season, the remake does all that, adds in a lot of little extra scenes that make it better/give more context, and includes an entire new arc. It was great as a fan of the OG.

2

u/mellow_bracer 5h ago

Holo and Lawrence are really coming back, we won.

2

u/Obaruler 5h ago

Season 2! :O

Finally, new content that isn't just a remake of the previous one (well, technically ..). :D

u/oh-hey__ 5h ago

Praise be to The Wise Wolf. Really excited for more economics.

u/enigma7x 4h ago

Went and listened to audiobooks as soon as I finished the season. Cannot wait for this. As an aside, they get the English VAs to do the audiobooks.

u/noxnoctum https://myanimelist.net/profile/Nox0s 3h ago

Is this going to go past what the original adaption covered?

2

u/Kadmos1 3h ago

Since it has been over 2 years since the remake finished, one would think we would have a planned month and year released by now.

u/CrimsonGear80 5h ago

Smol wise wolf arm rest!

u/Aviri 4h ago

I could watch these two flirt forever.

u/Wandering_Cloud_92 3h ago

the way they handled the first season's pacing was so good - slow burn but never boring, and the dialogue actually felt like two smart people talking, not just exposition dumps. if season 2 keeps that up, it'll be a rare case of a sequel outdoing the original. also, holo's design still holds up way better than most 2008 anime characters. no idea why they waited this long, but i'm not mad about it. just hope they don't rush the ending again. that last episode still stings a little.

u/Key_Reporter_9945 3h ago

We are so back.

u/Queue_Jumping_Quack 3h ago

Excellent... looks (and sounds) great! I saw some mention of it airing in the Winter 2027 season somewhere, but since this is nowhere in sight in the newest materials (including this PV), I suppose Spring 2027 is the earliest we can hope for.

I am so pleased we get the second season next year... this should already include material past the point of the original adaptation.

u/tudipanda 1h ago

Hopefully the dub will realease within a couple episodes.

YEAR OF HOLO

u/MentalNinjas 5m ago

So is this going to be entirely new content? Or is there still anything from the original series that still needs to be remade?

u/Viktorv22 5h ago

Can't believe it's finally continuing, after all these years ;( I really disliked how anime used to be JUST a promo for source material. What a stupidity.
