Spice and Wolf Reboot Poster Hypes Brand New Arc

Spice and Wolf's new anime will be adapting an arc not seen in the original from the 2000's

Spice and Wolf is quickly nearing the final episodes of the second cour for its new reboot anime series, and a new poster has revealed the first look at a new arc not seen in the original anime adaptation. Spice and Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf is a brand new take on Isuna Hasekura and Ju Ayakura's original light novel as part of the celebration for its 15th anniversary. The reboot anime has been fairly close to what was seen in the original anime adaptation released decades ago, but now it's going to make a major change with a brand new arc that was never seen in that first run of the series. 

Spice and Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf will be tackling the Legend of the Pagan Gods arc beginning with Episode 20 releasing on August 19th in Japan. To celebrate the start of the next arc, the anime has added Lynn as Elsa Schtingheim and Atsushi Abe as Evan Gyoam to the cast for the new episodes. To give fans the first look at what's coming to the new anime, you can check out the newest poster for Spice and Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf below.
