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.

And that's when it got interesting. lol
Grimpak, umm not quite. What you say is only true for wars beginning in the 20th century. Before that, not even close. Napoleon was the first to even have his army bring food with them on campaign. All other armies throughout history always foraged for food. Which meant taking everything anyone had on hand nearby. Maybe the people got paid, but that was a distinct rarity. Most had their daughters raped as payment. Pretty much all women were raped as the army went through. And it didn't have to be the enemy army to do it either.
The UN still cannot keep its peace keeping troops from either raping the locals, or turning them into prostitutes.
There was 11 years between the signing of the Armistice and the October crash on Wall Street. 10 years and 11 months if you want to get picky. That is far too long a time to blame it on lack of consumption. Besides, consumption does increase because of all the new babies born after the soldiers come home. That's why the Baby Boomers are called that, and why they start their generation in 1946, 9 months after WWII ended. It wasn't regulation that increased consumption, it was those births and all the factories could build all kinds of new things that they could not beforehand. After making fighter planes, what's so difficult in making a washing machine?
The Demon King probably has magic powers we haven't seen yet, and she has business knowledge. She has the qualities of both Spice and Wolf. So what's the hero, a trophy husband? Sits there and looks good? What does he know, other than fighting?

well, it all depends on how war is conducted. back then in the middle ages we didn't had wars like we have today. WWI changed the whole war paradigm forever, and those 11 years aren't really that long when you consider the whole scope of things back then. nowadays society moves much faster with globalization and such. back then, due to how fast communication was (you had telegraph and radio was booming, true, but it was still quite hard to make it bi-directional and fast), things moved slower.
thing is, if you heard her explaining things, they are plausible, and they do come in hand with wartime economics.
also, she might have magical powers but
(click to show/hide)considering what I've read and whatnot, I'm more inclined on her being an extra-dimensional being.
