    Spice and Wolf - Vol.03 to Vol.05 [Audiobook]

    The narration is a bit better with the second narrator but the voices are just not the same as in the anime. For anyone who’s watched the anime and thinking about reading the series Volume 4 is completely missed in the Anime so is new content.

    Didnt I say to make my abilities average - Vol.18

    Nothing much to note. It is similar to all of the other volumes in writing. I still enjoy the story and the interactions of the characters.

      Volume 4 is completely missed in the Anime so is new content

      I believe the currently running remake of the series should be more truthful to the book adaptation. I’m unsure if they will reach volume 4 in only 25 episodes, but maybe they will adapt those volumes. I would have to reread the LN, but it was relatively slow if I remember correctly so they might get there with the anime’s pacing. I’m not up to date with the anime remake but from what I’ve seen so far I’m not convinced that it is something that needed to be done if they don’t add the skipped content.

        Yeah, I haven’t started the new series yet so not sure.

        Hopefully they will keep it closer to the LN. But listening to the audiobook I only caught a few bits changed in the original Anime like the person he sees at the start and skipping the 4th volume. There might be more as I don’t retain much when listening and working.

      Yeah, Average Abilities vol 18 was average for the series. I enjoyed the return to the established humor and antics, but I don’t know that this can sustain the series much longer.
