Overview

Holo is a powerful wolf deity who is celebrated and revered in the small town of Pasloe for blessing the annual harvest. Yet as years go by and the villagers become more self-sufficient, Holo, who stylizes herself as the "Wise Wolf of Yoitsu", has been reduced to a mere folk tale. When a traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence stops at Pasloe, Holo offers to become his business partner if he eventually takes her to her northern home of Yoitsu. The savvy trader recognizes Holo's unusual ability to evaluate a person's character and accepts her proposition. Now in the possession of both sharp business skills and a charismatic negotiator, Lawrence inches closer to his goal of opening his own shop. However, as Lawrence travels the countryside with Holo in search of economic opportunities, he begins to realize that his aspirations are slowly morphing into something unexpected.

Also known as "Ookami to Koushinryou".

The only feeling from this anime is warmth.

Lawrence invests money in something, loses it somewhere, remains in debt to someone, the wolf sarcasms, chemicals, and in the end both profit. In my opinion, the plot is quite unusual and very interesting for people like me (5th year of Management). There is no place for a fanservice in this anime, it is for those who are tired of boobs and beads. So that you can fall apart and think about where their hopes and guile will lead these guys. They are clearly not leading to good. But there is an atmosphere of a fairy tale, where everything usually ends well, but this is anime, and if it's not done by Americans, you don't have to wait for a happy ending. If we talk about the love between the characters, then everything is done seriously, not in plain text "she is pining for him, he is pining for her, but they don't think about it", but in hidden text – if someone feels something for someone, then this is a lucrative matter and everyone is fighting it on their own inside myself. We only see what we want to see.

I think we were extremely lucky that the Wolf was filmed in 2008-2009, the heyday of graphics and Brains Base studio. The picture is really fabulous and high-quality, lively and soulful. The adventures of a medieval street vendor are perfectly conveyed. IMHO.

The most undisclosed character is their horse. He goes everywhere with them, but we don't even know his name. A big annoyance!

I watched the second season. I shouldn't have sinned at first: There was even more outright drudgery here. The whole half of the second season is about almost nothing. Lawrence frankly does not learn from his mistakes, both in business and in romantic relationships - his confessions knocked out from under the stick look comically pathetic. For a Wise Horo, she sulks and tantrums too much. It may be a masterpiece, but it's not mine. So the four is a stretch and without a second revision.
