however, this series taught me something very interesting.
I went on reading 2 of the manga versions of it and thanks to it, I learned that
(click to show/hide)potatoes are actually poisonous!

first episode is ok :)
hoping it wont be too much of a tease. . .
Ha! This guy is perfectly on target:
--- Quote from: metalotaku from AniDB ---There some interesting reflexion about the relation between economy and war in this serie. However, if the character remains as shallow as they seem on episode 1 and if the cheap fanservice is not downtuned drasticly, all the good ideas and the setting will be all waysted once again

I had a good time watching ep.1. I thought he agreed too quickly to her proposal. But what you gonna do in 1/2 hour show?
Usually war brings famines and plagues, not the opposite.

depends actually.
at the war, more precisely, where the war happens, that is mostly correct. but, industry output increases ten-fold, there are huge strides in several scientific fields and in some cases, there is a decrease in non-war related criminality. food shortages are resolved thru rationing which allows for a more even distribution, altho it also increases black market and corruption, which is where hunger comes from. It is because we had a World War I, that we have penicillin as widespread as it is today, and ambulances.
it is also arguable that the end of World War I was the starting point of for the Great Depression. War ramps up consumption quite considerably, but with the end of it, the consumption drops and the industry and producers continued with the production levels of wartime, which created an excess of stockpiles and subsequent extreme devaluation of consuming goods, thus leading to the 1929 Crash.
This didn't happened afterwards in WWII because you had already some regulation put in place, and the Korean war AND the cold war happened.
so yes, in the end War IS good for business.

I guess it only makes sense someone would try to clone Spice & Wolf given how unique it is.
Holo is way more attractive though.

The attractiveness in Horo comes from her character and how it interacts with Lawrence. As relationships go, it's basically that of two equals and in terms of anime, it displays a level of maturity commonly absent in the medium. This, on the other hand, feels like watching a crush between an 8 year old kid and a "chubby bookish onee-san" from a middle school.
Keeping that in mind, I find it quite interesting, that Horo is portrayed as a nubile youth and the Queen as a milf.
