In fact, it was extremely interesting in a sense that they used common elements such as fantasy medieval setting, wolf-goddess, etc., but made you look at all of this from an angle which is pretty much unique. At least I don't remember any other anime similar enough.
And yes, all the trading stuff was quite interesting, but you have to pay attention or you'll get lost :)

That was the interesting part about it. Thank god it wasn't like the other anime shows I've seen, drama/romance crap ... I was expecting that, but honestly the way it was presented totally got me interested and for that, I like Spice & Wolf ! .... I need to watch the extra episode, ... haven't seen it yet! lol.

Same here. I need to get hold of it ;D

Well, I was watching the show right after the DVD's were released, so I was able to go in "natural" order: 6 -> 6.5 -> 7...
Focus on trading is only one of the examples of how the things you expect to be cliche turned into more slice of life, but, surprisingly, unusual way. No mages or knights, goddess who's not naive, nor dominating, and uses wits instead of deity powers, flirting and gradual getting to know each other by living through all sorts of things instead of ludicrous ecchiness, and so on, and so forth. This show has quickly got to the very top of my personal list :)

I consider Spice and Wolf to be the anime the surprised me the most this year. It has a story that was refreshing watching it the 1st time. There are many many many fantasy-anime with 'gods' and things like that but S+W did it in a way not seen before. The ending begs for an s2 :)
And Horo sure was kick-ass big inside those sewers :D
Alission to Lillia came second: good story but it lacked a bit of the fantasy part ;)
There where a lot of good anime in the 1st half of this year but the 4 that stood out for me where these 2 together with Vampire Knight (excellent anime! yatta for s2!) and Rosario+Vampire (man, that was a BLAST :D ).

Hey, Can I confirm something here? So there's 12 episodes that were released and 1 extra on a dvd which would be episode 7, correct? Making a total of 13 episodes. I'm just dling this torrent and this craziness is killing me... the file list is 1-6, 8-13. So I'm assuming the to be episode 7 would be 13?
Sorry for the confusion. I should be finished watching spice and wolf by the morrow :D

I don't think so. I'm downloading this anime now so I can't say for sure.
