So here's the first episode of the relatively new anime, Okami to Koshinryo ("Wolf and Spice"). The opening scene is a bit weak in my opinion, but it gets better as we're introduced to the village and our protagonist, Lawrence.
Lawrence is a travelling merchant who frequents the village because of their wheat. The village is/was protected by the wolf goddess, Horo the Wise. Due to mankind's natural technological progression, however, Horo's benevolence is no longer needed. She decides to hitch a ride with Lawrence and get a ride from him to the Northen Forest, her home.
This is one of the only other things that struck me as odd, until I realized it was impossible for poor Horo; we know what her true form is by the end of the episode, so we're left to wonder why she couldn't just transform into a wolf and go there herself. She'd probably be much faster than Lawrence's merchant cart. Oh well...
Upon seeing Horo's first appearence, some might think of it all as fanservice. I'd disagree, since she wouldn't have a need for clothes, much less a set for herself.
I'm really into this anime so far, I'm going to watch episode two as soon as I finish writing this.
