Overall I’m satisfied with the remake. I was not worried about the story, because the source material was good to begin with.
My only issue is that, ironically, studio Passione showed a lack of passion while animating it. What’s the point of making a remake and giving it a mediocre animation? Spice and Wolf deserved better.
Hopefully season two will make some improvements.
I can't disagree with the animation part. I don't know what their budget for this remake was but animation wise it was certainly not very good when compared to many other recently released anime.
It was still a great watch for the story definitely affected my final rating of it. They could have done so much more with this.
not the budget, the staff
