Our dear
Printer Paper 8 X 11 came out of retirement for one last banner to celebrate the return of our wise wolf. Forgive the mention of the old place but this community ultimately spun off from the previous even if a lot of people have moved on or simply retired to discord over the years.
Important Stuff
Spice & Wolf: Merchant Meets The Wise Wolf
PV
Lawrence is a traveling merchant selling various goods from a horse-drawn cart. One day, he arrives at a village and meets a beautiful girl with the ears and tail of an animal! Her name is Holo the Wisewolf and she brings bountiful harvests. She wishes to return to her homeland, and Lawrence offers to take her. Now, the once-lonely merchant and the once-lonely wisewolf begin their journey north.
We're finally getting more
Spice & Wolf after waiting so many years. It's been such a long journey full of one misstep after another such as the light novel finally being brought over but with cover issues upon initial publication or the willingness to eat scraps when Jun Fukuyama & Ami Koshimizu reunited for
Maoyu.
We are so back too since the original director, Takeo Takahashi, is returning as Chief Director. Of course, Jun Fukuyama & Ami Koshimizu are reprising their iconic roles as well. We're also getting Kevin Penkin on the OST which means that too will be something special. Even with the new studio, I'm confident this will be great as the character interaction is the most important thing and I can't imagine not being just about perfect with all the important people back.

Hey, Tonbo
PV
The story begins with Igarashi, who was disqualified as a pro golfer after a certain "incident" and thus moves to Kagoshima Prefecture's Tokara Islands to step out of the limelight. On these islands known as "Japan's last unexplored wilderness," he encounters a naive girl named Tonbo.
As it turns out, these supposedly unexplored islands have a homemade golf course, where Tonbo plays every day. She demonstrates genius-level prowess, playing every kind of shot with just one golf club, a 3-iron. Igarashi is amazed at Tonbo's talent, even as he harbors doubts about her only using a 3-iron. Yet, hidden deep in Tonbo's heart lies a painful, sad past….
It's funny golf anime fans might be feasting the past couple years when this sort of thing was mostly a joke that'll never happen once upon a time. No, I'm not including golf anime older than the average anime viewer in this joke either so neither should you.
