I've just watched first 2 eps and it felt to me somehow off, a little hollow compared to my memory of Spice&Wolf. So I've watched the old version and although current animation is more vivid and alive and has good music intro, I find the old version to have much more depth to it and find it much more entertaining. Emotions are better transmitted and the animation shows more complete mental-emotional picture. To me it has more finesse and captures the heart better.
So I recommend watching 1-2 eps and then re-watching the 1st ep of old version right after, to check which version you prefer to follow.

Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., nopanThe character foregoes underwear., overeaterA character (who quite often is anything but fat) eats enough for an entire football team, usually devastating the whole table — and perhaps entire restaurants — with their insatiable hunger. Often combined with a speed-eating technique that makes food seem to vanish spontaneously from the plate., pragmaticThis person acts according to the philosophy that states that the meaning of something is to be found in its practical consequences and that impractical ideas must be rejected. As such, they most often act for the results that are to be achieved, sometimes disregarding the issues that lie in the means required for such results., wolfgirlno description set, young adultSomeone is generally considered a young adult if they are between 20 to 40 years old.
