Why are they remaking Spice and Wolf? - eviltoast

I just saw that for Spring they’re doing a new Spice and Wolf, but it looks like they’re not continuing the story but re-making what already had a pretty good IMO anime with 2 seasons. IIRC That anime was also pretty close to the source material, so I can’t really see what us watchers will get from a remake other than I guess maybe more modern animation? Which is also kind of a waste cause there’s a lot more light novels to adapt IMO.

    Full metal alchemist was spedrun on brotherhood but really only the beginning. So i dont see it approached in the same manner, also because the world of both (fma and and wolf)are much too different. Maybe they will do it like fruits basket. Hopefully bring in the og cast(i havent read up on it to see this being true or not) and continue it like that. However the approach, its got enough attention to get the previous fans talking about it and new people interested in it. So whatever is being done, its at least working to some degree. Plus to the new crowds, its different in a sense to what has been told recently.
