Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf is an anime television series based on the light novel series Spice and Wolf written by Isuna Hasekura and illustrated by Jū Ayakura. The story follows a 25-year-old traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence who meets Holo, a female wolf deity of harvest. Holo, bound to a nearby town by an old promise to ensure a good wheat harvest every year, escapes with Lawrence when the townspeople stop believing in her. Lawrence promises to take her north to her homeland, Yoitsu, while she helps him with his business transactions along the way in return.

A new anime adaptation was announced in February 2022, as part of the light novel's 15-year anniversary.[1] It was later confirmed to be an anime series remake, titled Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf, produced by Passione and directed by Hijiri Sanpei, with Takeo Takahashi returning from the previous adaptation as chief director, Kevin Penkin composing the music, and both Jun Fukuyama and Ami Koshimizu returning to reprise their roles as Lawrence and Holo respectively.[2] The series premiered on April 2, 2024, on TV Tokyo and its affiliates[3][4][a] and is set to run for 25 episodes.[5] The first opening theme song is "Tabi no Yukue" (旅のゆくえ, lit. 'Journey's Destination') performed by Hana Hope, while the first ending theme song is "Andante" (アンダンテ) performed by ClariS.[6] The second opening theme song is "Sign" performed by Aimer, while the second ending theme song is "Ringo to Kimi" (りんごと君, lit.
