Big fan of both the original show and books so looking forward to this, though I do feel/fear that they are going to go at it at a much faster pace than the more languid rate the original show did.

Very interesting choice of an opening scene to set as a framing device for the whole story.

I liked it (especially the opening scene's schick) but I do think the original show's change from Yarei to Chloe (who does make a brief cameo here!) worked a little better than this. New show kind of makes Lawrence's trip into Pasloe feel a little colder/less meaningful going back to Yarei. Which won't mean as much now that the two main chars are on the road honestly though.

So far they're pretty much 1:1 with the 2008 show's pacing which is mostly what I was worried about.

Also some of the artistic choices in the first episode aside I think I'm growing the look of the new show watching it and '08 back to back.

I like some of the wolf aspects they're playing up more in this version like the tail bushing up, the original usually didn't bother other than piping in growling sounds.

Holo does not really hide or obfuscate how she feels about Lawrence at all it's all pretty much out in the open from the get go, and vice versa. The tension in the relationship instead comes from both of them being intimately aware of the disparity in their lifespans and how both of them don't know how they will be able to cross that bridge when they get there.

My main fear with this release was whether they were going to speed up the pacing since modern LN adaptations usually go through volumes in fewer episodes than they did 15 years ago, but at least the first arc it's been more or less 1:1 with every episode ending in the same places. Does not mean they will retain that pace all the way through but it's nice so far.
