Caught up on the Spice and Wolf remake and they are through the first major arc now. Honestly not sure which is stronger between this or the original--I definitely don't think there's a huge difference in quality between them.
In general I think the remake has been more on-point with the dramatic scenes, but the overall vibe of the show was a bit stronger in the original, though I'm not sure exactly what combination of factors leads to that. The two things I will say are that I've found voice acting better and more well-rounded in the remake, but I liked the visuals of the original show more.
Basically yeah though this is a totally good remake so far--I think you could pretty much watch either version and be okay.
