Spice and Wolf Coming to the US

wolf_spice_pic
Spice and Wolf is finally coming to the US thanks to Kadokawa Pictures USA, for those who weren’t in the loop: its a story about a trader who meets a wolf deity and the anime covers their travels from town to town trading.
The anime adaptation is based off the original light novels that were published in 2006, incidentally the light novels were released in english by Yen Press earlier this year.
It’s an interesting anime, it doesn’t focus on gunho action but more of a focus on trading and the two main characters being our trader and a mystical wolf deity he happens to meet.
On a side note it’s been confirmed that a second season is in the works check it out on the official site (it’s in Japanese tho).

Figs Incoming

Decided to buy these two off a fellow forumer on OCAU (Overclockers Australia) forums for a brilliant price of AU$85 postage included.
Reviews for both figurines coming soon. But for now a photo of the goods after unpacking them from the shipment box.
