Spice and Wolf ("Spice and Wolf", 2008 TV-1 and 2009 TV-2)
I have always been quite skeptical about this title, but I was recommended it, and…
Two seasons flew by very quickly. "Spice and Wolf" is an unconventional approach to conflict, from the perspective of a merchant, not some warrior or schoolboy (or all together, as often happens), with a wonderful medieval European setting, music that really fits the theme and leaves a deep impression, and, of course, how can we do without all sorts of cunning female tricks?
The main character is one of the most relatable protagonists in anime that I've seen. It’s great that he is mature and smart, but also slightly naive; his emotions and thoughts are perfectly conveyed to the viewer.
Wolf – well, she is a wolf, as I already said, so much cunning and guile, but at the same time everything is somehow surprisingly presented in a positive light.
Regarding specific plot arcs, the entire first season and the beginning of the second kept me on edge, but the last arc seemed somewhat vague, both in terms of conflicts and (especially) in terms of the ending. You know, even open endings should have some limits...
I guess I will have to read the manga.
