And we wonder why American kids do so poorly in academics?
Don't eat tomato leaves either. They are in the Nightshade family. I saw they had "heirloom tomatoes" in ep. 2. Does anyone know of a group doing similar teaching of better farming practices in places arouns the world that need it, or do they all just give them food?

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

Just a note, some creators (including the Director) who worked on Spice & Wolf also worked on Maoyuu Maou Yuusha. The seiyu for Horo (Koshimizu Ami) is also the seiyu for Maou. As awesome as she is, Ami is not pretty good with her Kanji and English .... and I don't mind that nor the tingling vibes of Spice & Wolf. I welcome both.

I don't mind the vibes either, what I mind is it being not being as good.
Anyway, the second episode is a step in the right direction. I hope it won't be the last one.

I should re-watch ep. 3, as things were moved fast towards the end. It seemed close to committing a continuity error, but saved the day with a quick explanatory line from Maou.
The maid is worse than useless. Advice that's a day late and a dollar short, wouldn't you say so?

This is a wonderful series, I enjoy everything about it and it is much much better than Spice and Wolf which has a nice premise but never lived up to its potential..the main relationship was poorly handled and the economics side was not well done at all...in that version. Here it is superb and very accurate and well spoken. I also love the low key but exciting main relationship here, and hope for much more. The art and style of this is edgy in some ways, it reminds me of the unusual but rather bad art style of the Anime remake of The Count of Monte Cristo..Here it is ok as they balance it with fine art in many scenes. The overall feel is similar to SAO and i like both very much so I am very happy with this.
If you find the story and underlying themes of war vs economics hard to follow you are probably from the USA, most other countries and cultures will be fine with it, but sadly in modern America there is a cred for being boldly anti intellectual. Too bad for this is fun stuff and well done. I have this series at the top of my list as several others i had hopes about have been dashed by staff changes and a huge drop on quality. Here we can enjoy something very good and well done. More please :)
