Okay, I'm at work and mobile typing is not conducive for rant-level word dumps, so I'll be brief for now.
I implore anyone who hasn't seen this show to give it a shot. I further implore anyone who has seen the show to read the source material. Spice and Wolf is hands down my favorite story in fiction that I've read in years, and is the closest thing to a modern fairy tale you can get this side of Shiriyukihime.
The show on its own can be clever with staging, selective edits and omissions, but the Second Season from OVA to ending is one of the most thematically coherent and motivated pieces of media I've seen.
Which makes me all the more insistent that people read the source material to understand why demand for a third season is so prevalent. Whether it be the Side Colors stories fleshing out Eve's rise to prominence, the Town of Strife arc and summary badassness with which Lawrence navigates it, to just having more time to spend with these two, whiling away the hours with some of the sharpest wit and writing I've ever seen.
Spice and Wolf is a story that matters, and even if I can't convince someone to love it as much as I do, I will never stop recommending it. Please please please give this show a shot; I can almost guarantee it will be worth your time.
EDIT: Lowkey hijacking my own comment to remind people that the eighteenth light novel just went up on preorder as well in various locations, and will be releasing towards the end of this month. Spring Log is a partial setup to the new spinoff series Wolf and Parchment which should be arriving towards the end of this year for English audiences.

It's not on Amazon, yet. Vol. 18 is up, but they won't put up New Theory until Vol. 18 is basically released. The reason I am confident that it'll be November/December is because that's Yen Press' average delay for an active light novel series. Fastest it could be is 4 months, but I doubt that'll happen.
