Anyone else watching this anime? At first I thought "Spice and Wolf" makes a really random anime title, I clicked in anyway and did my other stuff (erm aka surfing elsewhere)... I heard the opening few phrases after which I immediately clicked back to the crunchyroll page and guai guai watch the opening (plus the anime lah).
This is just a short series, 13 I think, and crunchyroll has it subbed till episode 12. Fantasy? Check. Because there's a wolf deity. Timeline wise it's like Europe in Middle Ages? (IDK but crunchyroll says so >D) Haha... but it's about economics, trading, currency, batering, etc which is a first that I've ever encountered in an anime. So it's about this human guy merchant and a wolf deity going on a journey back to her homeland in the north while promising him profits in return. As they travel, she helps to earn (or rather barely cover her own spendings), but at the same time, she draws unwanted attention from other merchants and the Church.
The opening and ending on youtube ^^ PLAY! I really like this! Ending is cute too XD

旅の途中 Tabi no Tochuu
清浦夏実 Kiyoura Natsumi
ただひとり Tada hitori
迷い込む旅の中で Mayoikomu tabi no naka de
心だけ彷徨って立ち尽くした Kokoro dake samayotte tachitsukushita
でも今は 遠くまで Demo ima wa tooku made
歩き出せる Arukidaseru
そう君と この道で Sou kimi to kono michi de
出合ってから Deatte kara
旅人たちが歌う Tabibito-tachi ga utau
見知らぬ歌も Mishiranu uta mo
懐かしく聴こえてくるよ Natsukashiku kikoete kuru yo
ただ君といると Tada kimi to iru to
夢見た世界が Yumemita sekai ga
どこかに あるなら Dokoka ni aru nara
探しに 行こうか Sagashi ni yukou ka
風のむこうへ Kaze no mukou e
凍てつく夜明けの Itetsuku yoake no
渇いた真昼の Kawaita mahiru no
ふるえる闇夜の Furueru yamiyo no
果てを見に行こう Hate o mi ni yukou
The very nice opening song, Tabi no Tochuu full version if you want ^^V:
