Well, while we're at it... finally the missing episode 7 is out by sudo for those interested in that version:

My answer: NO WAY.
I said: 'everytime I heard'
Lawrence and Lelouch share the same VA: Jun Fukuyama
Horo and Kallen share the same VA: Ami Koshimizu
Hence... I 'heard' them. I can care less if she resembles C.C. a bit.
They were nice giving you a green one. You're asking for a red now
Of course, little sacrifice to you for expressing your Kallen Fanboyism.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
meh. the ending was decent, but the rest of the show was boring, and pretty uninteresting. I didn't like how they ended it with the completion of some minor story premise in stead of ending the actual over laying story. but I guess that's what a season two is for.
horo was okay, her attitude and emotions, and the fact that she changed into a giant wolf were really the only things making this show watchable..
Lawrence? nah, didn't care for him, he showed too much weakness and proved downright undependable. good thing he had horo.
I'd give it a 6/10.
I don't know if I'm gonna bother watching the second season or not.

It seems you missed a lot of the wit that made this show interesting, but that is probably because a lot of it was lost in translation, especially in the episode released after the series (7, I think). It was never about the plot, but rather the character interaction between the two main characters, which is something a lot of anime are lacking in.
Peace.
I'm sorry, I didn't word my post accurately. when I said that I liked Horo's attitude and emotions, it was talking about in reaction to Lawrence. their interaction was more what I liked, not just solely horo.It seems you missed a lot of the wit that made this show interesting, but that is probably because a lot of it was lost in translation, especially in the episode released after the series (7, I think).

I didn't look into the series much at all before watching it. I was told, and read, that it was very good. After that I read the tags and categories on aniDB, and then got the show. I didn't read a story synopsis.
What I was expecting was a romance, not a tutorial on how to barter.
I said I liked the ending, and yes, it was entertaining. But frankly, it was incomplete. Most of the story gives us business lessons, and the final episodes revolve around a mistake he made, while the series never actually resolves the underlaying story. It's an incomplete story.
the progression and general portrayal of the characters was shallow, predictable, and generally boring. apart from select moments between horo and Lawrence. Watching horo haggle with the dealers made me ask myself "am I actually watching this?".
If the series is going to revolve around the main characters interaction, then maybe they should change the male, because he was downright annoying. Now that you say it's not actually about the story, but in stead the characters, I highly doubt I'll bother watching season two. I only would of watched it for the fulfillment of the story that this season lacked entirely, but if what you say is accurate then I probably shouldn't expect a resolve.

Seinen series tend to feel more free about the way they present the story and what kind of a story or other elements can carry the series in general. The story was quite weak at least in this first season, in my opinion, making this look almost like a half slice of life show. However, it was also your expectations that betrayed you: It should be obviously after watching the season that it was indeed trade this show was all about if we ignore the characters.
Scipy comeback of the wolf:
Spicy and Wolf II OVA - BSS
Apparently this ova launches the second season (which should start this summer, like has been said).
Horny Horo with her ass up in the air, her tail waiving in excitement, waiting for a male sure was a sight...
Other than that, the cool and soothing pace sure did work right from the start, again.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
It should air in the same season as Haruhi's 2nd season.
A lot of the material from this OAV is from the sound dramas released a while back, with some minor changes. Those who got to see the ones I managed to translate before should notice this as well.
Peace.
That was a pretty contentless episode, aside from what David pointed out. Lots of light banter and not even fancy trading knowledge mixed in. Well, actually the medical stuff was a pretty interesting part, reflecting nicely what used to be solid "knowledge" in the past. It's nice how this series integrates with the time period with details like that. In the end I reckon this was an ova underlining how much Horo likes Lawrence. And how dense Lawrence is in return...
Wow, that vision of Horo's was something I'd expect near the end of the show. It really highlights that if she chooses to stay with Lawrence after all after their journey to the North, their time will only last an instant compared to her own lifespan.
According to this though, it's well worth it.
And call me dense, but I didn't get the joke at the end neither.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Well, this was a pretty entertaining watch
Did the anime do a faithful reproduction of the light novel, or where there subjects that were censored and changed?
Edit: Corrected, sorry about that

Spice & Wolf comes from a series of light novels to my knowledge.
