というわけで、ＶＲアニメ用賢狼ホロのラフモデルはこんな感じです。３Ｄ空間の視界を２Ｄで見てるからやや足が短めです。ここから表情と動きがつくと、ほんとに震えるくらい目の前に存在を感じるようになります。参考に、前作のＶＲアニメ『Project LUX』の動画をぶら下げておきますのでどうぞ。 pic.twitter.com/awu0k7wa8Y

Funimation currently holds the rights to the Spice and Wolf anime, which they describe as:
Lawrence, a traveling merchant searching for profit, finds a naked girl with the ears and tail of a wolf asleep in his cart. Her name is Holo, a harvest goddess with an untamed beast lurking inside who longs to return to her beloved northern home.
Armed with his street smarts and her animal instincts, the simple peddler and forgotten deity begin a journey through the wild countryside. Along their path, the riches of happiness shall be reaped even as the bankruptcy which dwells in the human heart is exposed.
