Anyway, thank you Mazui!
2.in the opening you can see abe sailing away on a ship, but not in any episode, so they have already drawn something for season 3?
3.concluding it is possible that it wont take a full year till season 3?
someone state his opinion is these questions
man this show really should have got a full 24 epp season =(
Baka-tsuki translation is fukken dead. The last update was like 3 months ago.
Althought that's probably like a year away, sadly. :(
"But you didn't me the truth either."
"tell" is missing.
:D i'll definitely be here for the 3rd season :)
Yesterday!
Mazui subbing it ofc :P
Did anyone else have a problem at around 05:35 with the audio freezing/skipping and th video lagging a bit?
Hope to see you for Season 3
Anyone know what that guy was talking about and what time the supposedly appear? I do think a v2 is needed to correct the lagging, but that could have just been a problem with the raw.
Hope to see more great speedsubs from you ^^
Seriously, thanks for the great work you've done!
There actually seem to be at least three. The first occurs at 5:36 with the word "skyward" written in the sky in a white brush font to make it look like clouds. The second is at 16:53 with the word "JAMA" written in what looks like basic Helvetica crudely hanging from the roof of a building - probably meant to imitate icicles.
The third is at 22:53 during the special end credits where the word "fotc" is written in white. There might be more.
I should also point out that there's an additional segment at the very end of the file thanking the Mazui staff - including these same three people.
I have to agree that at least the first two graphics are completely inappropriate as they are HUGELY distracting. It's not like Spice and Wolf is an action-packed series where it's easy to get back into the flow. The fact that it was during the final episode as well was a poor choice to say the least.
Nonetheless, I'd like to add my name to those thanking Mazui for their hard work over these past few months. It's very appreciated but this particular episode was a very bad call on someone's part.
MikeLemmer: They actually subbed S&W. If they had dubbed it, I doubt we would have watched it. ^_^
Time sure flows fast.
Ulrezaj learned japanese only in 2 years ? HOW?!?!?
Anyways, thank for all the work Mazui.
Are u guys gonna sub something else too, like railgun or the likes.Or are u gonna take a break?
Your Mazui approved sign always lags the OP.
You put staff names in the middle of this episode.
You put your own credits in the end of this episode.
Sorry, but you guys are not more important than the original staff of this anime. Just subtitle the anime and don't put your names all of the place.
Stop using VLC
STOP using VLC
Install CCCP
Install MPC HC that comes with it
If all of the above don't work you haven't downloaded the V2s or you need to buy a new PC.
Also, it's not that hard to edit a script, you can remove the 'Mazui Approved' thing if it bothers you that much.
Also the last episode ws the only time they actually put their names in the credits. Some groups have their names in the credit in every episode. As for the staff names in the middle of episodes, I have no idea what you're talking about.
tnx for another season :)
great job!
funny ITE.
@X3OY
There are definitely fancy subs with mazui names in the middle of story. Very annoying. End credits are just fine. It is last episode after all.
Mazui, I wanted to give you my thanks for supporting me with great releases for Haruhi and especially Spice and Wolf. Hope to see more of you work in the future.
@X3OY
No the problem are people using Windows. There are no problems whatsoever with VLC.
Just read 'anonymous' post above directed at 'curious one' to find out what credits everyone's talking about.
Speaking of credits, were I the only one to not notice the first two while immediately noticing the last one?
really hope they make a season 3, and further more i would love to see you sub it, if it comes :)
Here's to hoping for S3!
Thanks for a great release and seeing it through to the end.
Thank you very much

VLC uses internal files for playback and makes no use of CCCP, Core AVC or pretty much any external codec/codec pack you install. Thus, people who are just about able to play .mkvs would benefit from using MPC instead.
See:

I use windows and I can confirm that it doesn't magically force anime OPs to lag.
Also, it's simple to remove the credits that were 'hidden' in the episode. You don't even need Aegisub, you can use notepad.
One of the problems is that a lot of people don't have the know-how to fix the subs if they don't have a separate .sub file and have to extract it. Another is that most people only find out about distracting subs like these AFTER watching the video. In this case, Mazui had not done anything like this in the past (that I'm aware of for Spice and Wolf) so there was no reason to expect what we got. Still a bad call all around and I hope it doesn't become a common thing now.
As for the OP scrolling subs, I don't know which anonymous you were referring to (lots of us) but it really would have just been better to have gone with a static sub given how choppy the thing was in the first place - but that's another discussion altogether.
Still glad I got the chance to finish the series thanks to Mazui and I hope they don't think we're overall ungrateful. Just wanted to call out a really bad idea before it becomes a really bad habit. :-/
The music is an instrumental of the first seasons OP. (Natsumi Kiyoura - Tabi no Tochuu)

With VLC you have no need for CCCP as it uses FFmpeg, a superior decoder.
Libraries are handled bad enough as it is on Windows. There's no need to bloat it with a bunch of codec packs.
@anon about scrolling title
Looking at the subtitle file, it's defined as actual scrolling and not as a new coordinate per frame. So any choppiness should be due to decoding errors or computer problems.
Try to seek, report results.
YES HOMO.
You too Mazui. ;_;
Oh well hope there's a season 3!
which nationality is Mazui?
there's definitely a season 3 for this!!
I'll be Waitin'!!
thnx again for the subs..:)
is another way of saying without people like you I couldn't watch stuff like this!
As for the rage comments about Easter eggs and stuff - it's either you guys or Frostii...so, I'm just grateful it was subbed at all. Also - for reasons too long to go into, well. Season 1 I only started watching when 2 eps were left, so watched all of season 1 in a week then waited a week for that last ep. SO...followed tradition this year - and so v2 ep 12 was already released when i watched, as I only started eps 1&2 Monday of this same week.
@anon2. Horo this season? Hmmm. Do you understand and get her fear? Dude. Horo is immortal. In what to her will seem like the blink of an eye Lawrence will turn old and die. That's why she keeps having that dream of standing in front of nothing but his bones. Ennywho. Season 3 is all but assured I would think. Enuf from/about me. Mazui. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA!!!!! ~(There. Just used about 1/7th of my entire Japanese vocabulary!!!)~ ^_^
i hope you all in the staff get a happy life ánd will live on with a proud heart
gracias , tack ,arrigato, thx so much for all
best regrads (I C A U)
Anyone know when it is going to come out? I must know! Thanks again for subs!
Thrilling story, smooth animation, authentic character design, a good soundtrack. Why thrilling story? Because I watched and watched and watched and couldn’t stop until the end. I won’t hide, the thing I expect the most from a romantic anime is the final kiss. That’s what I was waiting for, through scaring affairs and dangers — and that’s what I didn’t get in the end. But there’s a second season coming, you know. I can wait a bit more. I hope though it won’t be so stretched like Zero no Tsukaima, by the gods’ will.
The romantic story of a god and a merchant takes place in a West-European country of the early middle-ages, probably France or how it was called then, Gallia. Maybe Germania. The Church didn’t yet completely conquer the world, some “heretic” towns still remained. People there still believed in their own gods.
Did those gods really exist? Before the church burned the witches and the “devil-possessed”? While those gods have been payed tribute? My favourite writer, Terry Pratchett, describes gods as relying on the belief as resource. More followers — more power; no followers — no existence. So why not. Those gods may had vanished after they lost their last people. No wonder we didn’t see any miracles like a path through a sea for so long.
The plot seems simple: Lawrence Kraft, a merchant, visits one of the heretic villages, where people are celebrating their harvest and the harvest goddess, the Sage Wolf Horo. After leaving that place, he discovers a girl with wolf ears and tail in his cart. She wants to leave the village where she is not anymore needed, and go to her homeland in the North. They travel together and learn more about each other. But they have a mighty enemy — the Church.
Spice and Wolf bound me to itself, taught me some interesting economical backgrounds and some merchant tricks.
And not to forget, Spice and Wolf has one of the cutest/most adorable EDs ever.
So much is clear, I give this series full deserved 10/10 points, I hope you agree. I know this post is a bit messed up… okay okay, it’s very well messed up, but I hope you can forgive me. I would like to hear your opinions about this show, as well as about the whole gods/christianity thing. (My opinion is not enough for me, huh).
Yup thats the end of the coping. Great subs thanks. Long Live Spice and Wolf!
and a big (Thank you Mazui Staff For Your Hard Work with season 2) ^.^
