Spice & Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf episode 4 review
So, Holo gets captured and Lawrence has to save her. This means that Holo is officially a damsel-in-distress, like Princess Peach. And that leads me to my tangent.
Peach was the damsel-in-distress, while Daisy was the athletic, outgoing one. But sometime recently, probably in 2020, Nintendo completely reversed course on Peach. Now Peach was the athletic, outgoing one, filling the role of Daisy in the Super Mario Bros. Movie as well as in her own Switch game. That’s all well and good, but imagine Rei Ayanami becoming a fast-food worker and taking people’s orders. (Oh, wait, she did do that. Another tangent.)
Anyway, if Holo is going to be like pre-2020 Peach, then this show is in some serious trouble. But if she comes out swinging like post-2020 Peach or any-time Daisy, the show will be in better fortunes.
Best girl of the episode: Come on. Holo.
Episode rating: 7/10
