>Holo jokes about having fucked men in the past

She wasn't joking

>>867228

Normalfag anime viewers don't actually think about the anime they watch. They only see the surface level value of a show. They just saw romance happen on screen and ignored all the details, which is where the devil is.

>>867228

Season 2 literally ruined the whole franchise and is the reason we never got Season 3.

>>867228

It's a series about a fox girl, what do you expect. It's just another reason catgirls are vastly superior to any sort of wolf girl or kitsune.

What's your obsession with NTR? People love using that word for everything that isn't a chaste virgin being courted and only deflowered on her wedding day. While I can understand the importance you put on that, and value it as well, you need to find a different word to describe things you don't like.

>>867228

So how's the LN compared to the anime?

>>867393

Lawrence and Korbo both abandon their autistic quests and set their priorities straight all in accordance with Abe-Sama's will.

>>867393

I didn't bother with the LN after getting burned out on the books. Something like twenty of them, and they don't kiss until the very end and if I remember right, you're cucked out of it anyways.

Also, before it got officially translated, you had to torrent pdf's and stuff for it. The most prevalent of these torrents of fan-translations had the translator putting in his fanfic. So right after the last book ended, you were treated to fanfiction where Lawrence fucked Holo.

>>867434

This anon has it right. I didn't really care for the romance part at first. I was there for Lawrence selling stuff mostly.

>>867397

I mean, there are something like 18 main series novels and then two active spinoffs with at least 3 volumes a piece. The LNs themselves are pretty decent books, and like any book that gets made into a movie or tv show, the depth of detail in the writting is simply better, and the complex economic stuff they do is prefaced and explained better.

>>867228

All in all, OP, you came into the story for the wrong reasons. Sure, the two of them eventually do actually fall in love and it becomes a lot more pure, but for the majority of the series it is a younger merchant dude and his ancient fox girl traveling companion who likes to behave like a bit of an eldrich being messing with a mortal.

I would argue that her feelings for his are very fleeting for more than half of the series, but that Lawrence's persistence and his actions eventually cause her to care.

>fox

????

>>867446

>Spice and WOLF

>ancient fox girl

I don't get the joke.

>>867378

No the entire episode is based around Lawrence being a dumb jealous cunt. There is no NTR.

>>867483

You can claim a lot of things wrong by demonizing a persons emotions, but the intention that the author has is the important part. It's not coincidental that it invokes NTR vibes.

>>867466

I made that post immediately after I woke up so it was just me being asleep and posting while I made breakfast. Hence the general rambling nature of the post. I meant Wolf not Fox. My bad.

>>867277

Pretty sure the LN mentions she's a virgin later on.

>>867494

>The girl tricked the person that was trying to make her leave her lover.

>This gives me NTR vibes.

Your post gives me NTR vibes.

>>867228

The LN's are hardly much better. The economic shenanigans are alright but Holo can be such an annoying bitch sometimes that it ended up being a hinderance rather than an added layer of character development. I only made it halfway through the LN's before I dropped them the first time and then I tried again a couple years later and dropped them again around the same place because of the same issues. And I don't mean that I want the chick to constantly be salivating over the MC but I at least want her to be more of a proper friend and have a deeper bond with the protagonist over time. The books would've been better without Holo or at least with a main girl better than Holo.

>>867559

A story is more than a dry telling of events. Stories have spirit.

>>867571

Yes and? Doesn't change how this story went.

>>867577

You can't negate the affects by telling the story. Saying that you're wrong because you identify with x character and x character is wrong because of a negative character trait doesn't negate whats transpired. The story is both the emotion and the events, if it had no emotional impact then it wouldn't be a good story. It would be a story without a spirit or a soul. It would be a body without a heartbeat. NTR has both a connotative meaning and a denotative meaning.

>>867494

It might invoke NTR vibes, but the moral of the story is described better in the LN in that Holo was trying to get close to the fish merchant for the sake of making sure Lawrence's plans succeeded. She never betrayed him in the novel and the only reason Lawrence thought she did was because he was being a dumbass/refused to talk to her because he thought she was angry with her. At least in the novel, the whole point was to establish that Lawrence needed to have more trust in his wolf companion.

>>868487

That's a nice thumbnail, Anon.

>>867494

>but the intention that the author has

And you know what his intentions were how? Did you ask him? Or did you just assume that you knew what they were by picking up on "context clues" that don't exist?

>>867466

Well, technically, wolves, foxes and dogs are all members of the canis family

>>868465

Why would it even matter if you're Dead?

>>868545

That's the point. It doesn't. If you waifu an immortal or pseudo-immortal being, just understand that she'll still be alive and kicking after you're dead and you can't expect her to stay loyal to only you some 200 years after you're gone.

>Supposed to be a show about pure romance.

>>867434

>>868466

>>868487

Beaten to it.

>>868546

>>868465

This. And much relevant to this topic, you can hardly expect to be "pure" before you met her either. Remember that some most anons would see her as impure even if she didn't have sex before. A simple romance would be enough.

She's a goddess that probably had entire fertility cults dedicated to her, in the ages before NotChristianity arrived. Hard to believe nothing ever happened in the millenia she might have existed.

>Being this much of a cuck that you imagine 2d women having the same mentality of 3d pigs.

2d women can remain virgins for millions of years until they find their husband and remain loyal to him forever even after he's died.

>>868493

I might've, I've also might've not, either way is fine and neither are possible to know. Unless you've already assumed my knowledge.
