Post Holo or the other girls if you want to [spoiler]spice[/spoiler] things up
[spoiler]I like korbo[/spoiler]
>>2740687
Who doesn't?
>>2740839
Almost everyone from /a/
They seriously have shit taste over there.
Which do you all prefer, the LN's or the Mangas?
>>2741173
I haven't gotten around to the manga, yet, but I'd probably say the LNs either way. Books have the advantage that your imagination will fill paint the picture you like best naturally. Additionally, you don't have to worry about any stories being glossed over or skipped when it's the source material.
And speaking honestly, I like Ayakura's art a bit better.
>>2741314
Thanks for finally being the one to answer Anon.
And on an unrelated note, seeing her ears there reminds me. Is this Holo or no?
>>2741317
Oh shit, i forgot how different that picture is.
>>2741324
Nah, just go ahead and read the books from the start. I'm sure the anime missed some minor details I'm not remembering.
Besides, they're splattered with illustrations from Jyuu Ayakura, and he's pretty much set the bar for Holo art.
>>2741327
Yeah, I found a place to download the pdf's and I can already tell I love the artstyle.
>>2741330
Yeah, Ayakura's god tier.
Also, I don't wanna sound like a shill, but you should go buy a physical copy if you've got the cash. With the sequel currently being written, we could potentially see a resurgence in S&W popularity. If you want season 3, you gotta remember that studios and publishers listen to wallets before anything else.
>>2741337
Trust me, as soon as I have the money I will buy them, but that's just it, I don't know when I will have the money.
>>2741327
The only artist that has outclassed Ayakura that I can think of is Kawakami Rokkaku and even then it's close competition. I want to commission from one of them but I doubt they do them and I would need to learn nip.
While were talking about books, has anyone preordered the Collector's edition omnibus? Could they also include the Spring Log?
>>2741452
I didn't know the omnibus was a thing until you mentioned it just now.
My poor fucking wallet.
>>2741454
Well Yen Press announced it a week ago, but only printing 2000 copies.
I would dig an adult /u/ episode/story of Holo and the Shepherd.
>>2741611
an actual story or just a doujin?
>>2741789
Even a Doujin will do.
>>2741611
>>2741840
Reminder that Keito Koume himself has made a shit ton of yuri doujins.
>>2742113
DELETE THIS
>>2742113
Please don't.
>>2742468
>>2742446
It's not an official picture.
>>2741452
i think i ordered one in time, and i doubt it will include spring log it hasnt even been published in nip land and much less translated to english
>>2742471
it is official it was on the preview of spring log, it isnt what you are thinking, holo is fine
>>2742566
I personally think that if Spring Log is complete, then it shouldn't be a stretch that that the US could also get a copy to translate in time for the Collector's edition.
>>2741339
The only thing that gets me about Kawakami is I'm not big on Holo lewds. Otherwise though yeah, he, Ayakura, and Koume all form like this trifecta of cute Holo art.
>>2741173
The Manga so totally inferior to the LN and the Anime.
>>2740862
What lies, everyone loves Korbo. On /a/ especially.
>>2743125
I've met faggots from /a/ who hate Holo. I don't see how. She is one of the perfect waifus
>>2743128
Well those people are in the minority thats for sure.
I really only see love for Korbo and Lawrence
>>2743130
One time I mad a thread on /a/, about 3/4ths of a year ago, and everyone was bashing Holo for being too generic, Too boring, and not having a personality.
>>2743141
Eh how weird. I've actually only seen the opposite. Usually tons of love for Korbo and the show and probably 1 person who doesn't like her or the show. Pretty sure it's a long time favourite on /a/. Wishing for Spice and Wolf S3 is always something you see, and now could actually happen.
>>2743141
>Korbo
>too generic
>too boring
>not having a personality
>this was said on /a/
You have 3 choices:
1.)They are utter newfags where SAO was their first anime
2.)They are too stupid to see her subtleties
3.)1/10 B8
I saw this great concept for S3 on /a/ if it ever happened because of the sequel LN being announced:
>The best part about this is now they can just have a season 3 where Holo tells stories from the LNs to her daughter.
>>2743146
>>2743147
Yeah it was odd, I expected more love for Holo, personally she is my favorite Anime/LN/manga character.
She has such a rich personality that will make any mad fall madly for her.
>>2743166
>now they can just have a season 3 where Holo tells stories from the LNs to her daughter.
I DON'T THINK MY HEART CAN TAKE THIS
>>2743130
We need more Holo webms.
>>2743166
>she tells her daughter where puppers come from
Just took my 9 yo brother to a theme park.
I just wished it would have been Holo instead and i would have bought her a caramelized apple and a Frito pie.
Autumn's on its way.
>>2743767
hell yeah it is
Saw this on /pol/, but this belongs here instead
>>2744049
Fuck year.
I'm gonna pickle some apples soon, have a batch ready for Holoween.
>>2743233
I made a few dozens of them some time back. Since they're all with sound, I'll just dump the pomf.se links I have of them. Quick labels to differentiate the links more easily.

Holy shit thank you Anon!

>now could actually happen
please no
don't start this
I've come with peace with myself accepting that an S3 will never ever
don't try to ruin my life with false hopes again
>>2745780
Anon, how many centuries did Holo stay in that wheat field?
If she can spend such a long time waiting to simply go home, we can hold out for a new season.
>>2744798
Wow.
>>2744798
>>2744949
>>2745910
Most of the .webm I have are of Holo or Shinobu. I'll probably make more S&W once I do a rewatch. I suppose I'll go dump my Shinobu .webm in the related thread in a bit. (One of my webm folders: http://i.imgur.com/TUiMGb6.png)
>>2745922
Dump that shit mein negro!
>>2745922
>Holo and Shinobu
I applaud your taste,
>>2743127
:3
where'd you get those?
>>2743127
I want to know too
>>2746488
>>2746674
Not OP but it seems like the picture is from here: http://korboskustomglass.blogspot.com/2012/03/shipping-estimates.html
I think the art for the mugs are in one of the older posts, which you could possible snag to have someone print a similar mug to you - if you really want it.
Doesn't seem like the blog is kept anymore.
Spice and Wolf is by far my favorite anime. There's just something about it that gives me warm comfy autumn feels and soothes my soul.
I really want to read the books/manga as well now, and hopefully soon I'll have the time.
What should I read first, the books/novels or the manga?
>>2748785
I read the manga first. Made me appreciate the novel even moreso. The manga is still good but the novel is where it's at
>>2748830
I've been wanting to start it too, but where do you find all the media in english?
>>2748972
I just went by my local Barnes&Noble or whatever book retailer is in your area and bought the manga, then went back and got the novels. If they don't have all of them on the shelves, they can order for you what they don't have and let you know when it comes in
>>2748972
You can order them from most online shops, it seems. Checking YenPress (the ones who are distributing the English translations), they refer to: AAA Anime, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Google Play, Hastings, Indigo, Indiebound, Kobo, and RightStuf.
I personally ordered mine from Amazon, because that seemed like the most reliable, as I don't live in America.
>>2749140
>>2749225
oh thanks! I thought I had searched amazon, but maybe I was thinking of searching for figures where they are all super expensive by now.
Would you say it compares favorably with Kino no Tabi? Superficially they're both two people travelling together in an old-timey world...
Found this in /k/
I brought it back
>>2747822
Wonderful, that's my new phone wallpaper right there.
>>2743286
I feel you
>>2749784
No problem anon
Unfortunately Holo is not my "waifu" so I can't use her as a wallpaper.
She is definitely a top tier girl.
>>2749784
It would be nice tbqh
>>2749839
Honest question. Do you have a waifu?
>>2750184
Yes, IA the Vocaloid.
>>2750184
No, the closest thing I've ever had was Tali, but then they fucked her up. I would say Holo but I want her and Lawrence to be happy together.
>>2749140
I only recently noticed that hood has little pockets to keep her ears warm.
>>2744436
Do you have a recipe you prefer for pickling, do you spice it?
>>2754878
I have this recipe handy; it uses honey, cinnamon and a few other things. I've only done it a couple times and I have trouble getting the jars to seal properly; I tried peaches last summer and only a fraction sealed. They're delicious, though. They're sweet, and the spices give it a very "autumn" taste and scent.
>>2754906
Thanks, really appreciate it
>>2754906
About how long should I wait before eating them? Is it six weeks, because that seems like a hell of a long time.
>>2754955
I waited five or six weeks for the batches I tried. It is a long time, but this is pickling, so as long as the jars seal properly, they should be fine to eat. Just be sure to check for any mold or signs of spoilage when you open them.
>>2754945
It's no problem. Autumn's here, and S&W is an autumn series, so I want to cook and share more apple recipes.
I just pre-ordered the collector's edition book. pls gz
Scans of the new LNs are up
>>>/a/147892832
Myuri a fucking cute
October's finally here!
If the S&W anime were too get picked back up, would you guys prefer it to be the same animators or a new team? And would you prefer it to continue from where it left off or be rebooted?
>>2757356
Continued with same animators
>>2757356
I could live with a new studio, if they could make the art look more like Ayakura's in motion.
Is there a chance this'll come to Crunchyroll with the big pairing of Funimation and them? Could mean a newer audience and thus re-gained popularity.
>>2757579
God I hope so.
Did anybody that pre-ordered the Collector's edition have theirs shipped yet?
>>2758588
Sounds like one anon should get it tmwr.
4MB posting limit? laaaaaame.
>>2758724
why the limit is 4 Mb?
>>2758753
Hiro lost J-list. The file size cap is to reduce bandwidth usage until the ad revenue is back up.
>>2758442
>Merry Christmas μ's
Okay, which Love Live was this pic before the edit?
>>2754906
God bless you anon.
>>2757423
This, very much this.
End of the thread, but don't worry the love will continue
