| Great news. I just wish the first season would get released here on DVD so I can see the episode that wasn't shown on TV. |

I thought Kadokawa USA had acquired the North American license?:

This is the biggest thing to be concerned about. Hate to see another series change from one season to another as much as, say, Gunslinger Girl did.
I wish the first season would come out over here so I can see it.  Sometimes being a non-fansub watcher really irritates the spleen. |
Seriously wtf is with all the hate for GSG season 2? It follows the manga just as well as season did, if not better...only thing wrong with it was teh animation but that wasnt bad enough to make it suck |

The animation was a huge step down from the first season in my opinion. Personally I find it very annoying when two seasons of a show look so little alike as well. |

Actually I was thinking of GSGII when I made that comment  I know that the story in GSGII followed the manga more accurately, but like Richard J I'd prefer it if it didn't look too different. |

| Yeah, our anime club just finished showing this show last week, so this news is quite nice for me. (legally, of course.) |

The only changes to worry about is much more fluid animation  |
Yeah, I'm optimistic that we'll get more of an FMP-esque change than GSGII. |

This is fantastic! S&W was this year's best drama series, and one of this year's finest surprises. A second season was imminent, but I didn't think it would be this quickly.
Now I just have to wait for a second season announcement for "Kamen no Maid Guy," and I'll be set . (And maybe have Louis XIV's "Misguided Sheep" be S&WII's theme song .) |

They've been shopping it around. Kadokawa Pictures USA holds the license, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll ever find a distributor. |

| My only concern is the change in character design. I liked the first season design much better than the novel design (Horo looks too much like a child). |

| Wow, I was just talking to BrothersElric and Aromatic Grass the other day via IM about how "we need a Spice and Wolf 2." What do you know, they announce a new season. This is great. With the new animation studio, the production values are bound to be better this time around. |

I just watched this for the second time a few weeks ago, great news.
Not that a seemingly better animation studio is a bad thing(seemingly because I don't know their work first hand), but included with a different character designer...well I just hope nothing is drastically changed and as someone else said, it takes a cue from KyoAni's FMP seasons.
Does an announcement like this come with it a general date? Would the show most likely start soon?(Assuming spring at the earliest since this year would be pretty much rounded out already) |

Now that's an interesting combination of shows. |
