Spice and Wolf II: Training With Horo

Horo has taken a shameless queue from Isshoni Training's Hinako, and embraced the idea that the best way to lure fans into opening their wallets is by spreading her legs. Or bending over. Or whatever else it takes, to keep the spice flowing (oh wait, there was no Space Guild in the anime). So she's doing just that, in a new anime short titled "Stretch with Wacchi" - included in the second Blu-ray volume of Spice and Wolf II. Update: You can now watch it here!



Volume 2 - which packs episodes 4, 5 and 6 - was released last week, both in Blu-ray and DVD format. However, from what Gigazine writes, only the Blu-ray version includes this anime special. Also unique to the Blu-ray box are 3 waterproof posters that you can wash after... excercising with Horo.

On the other hand, the DVD version has a unique perk of its own: a 300-piece jigsaw puzzle of Horo, based on the illustration pictured above. And even though both versions will pack 2 illustration cards and a special box to keep the series' all 4 volumes, the actual artwork for these will also differ between the Blu-ray and DVD editions. So it will be rather tough for fans to choose only one of them; unless of course they can afford them both.

Volumes 3 and 4 will be released in the next couple of months, on December 6 and January 6 respectively. And by the way, if you missed our news last month, know now that Isshoni Training will be getting a second anime DVD, which should be available around February 2010.
