[Impressions] Spice and Wolf

My friend has told me several times to write about Horo was bringing furry back. As much as I thought he was right, I wasn’t going to rave on about only that for 12 weeks. So here’s one mention of it while I review the whole series. Horo definitely is a character you can love/adore/fawn over. Oftentimes you forget she isn’t human. And then when you realize it, you may just become even more interested in her. :3

Spice and Wolf took us back to more rural/colonial times before mass production or steam technology. And what’s surprising is the economics lesson within; I tried my best to learn something, but I still think it went over my head. Then of course we have the story of Lawrence and Horo — their unlikely meeting and even more unlikely journey. But the way they go about it is so fun.

International Saimoe League in progress

minhtam2448 started this project in late December prior to Christmas.  It has encountered delays and rules rewrites and constant requests for help and translators … but it has gotten off the ground and is progressing smoothly in its sixth week.

If you enjoyed the latest Saimoe competion in Japan or are still reeling from the abruptly closed SaiGAR, then you have another grand tournament to satisfy your urges this spring and summer.
