Ókami to kóšinrjó - Season 2

The second series felt weaker to me compared to the first, lacking the same level of entertainment and intrigue. While the first half with the romantic triangle, cat gold, and stock market was quite interesting, I found watching Lawrence's confusion at times to be rather painful. I missed the overall lightness and fun that the first season had. The second half, particularly the fur trade, only started to catch my interest in the last two episodes. Until then, it felt like not much was really happening, and what did unfold seemed disjointed. Characters' moods changed abruptly within a single scene, which didn't work well for me. Additionally, I also felt that the ending was somewhat undeserved. Despite these criticisms, the series still boasts cool animation, excellent music, and occasionally brilliantly written dialogues. The chemistry between the central duo when they tease each other remains a highlight. However, this time around, I didn't completely fall under the spell of Spice and Wolf, so I can't give it more than a 7.5/10. (07.03.2024)
