Just finished Spice and Wolf the other night, it was excellent. Very unique fantasy setting that focused heavily on economics, which is not something you see very often. The main draw though was the chemistry and dynamic between the two leads, it did a great job of not falling into the usual cliches that you would expect from romance in anime. Their interactions and dialogue just felt so natural, even though the story itself could be a little slow at times it didn't even matter. Just watching their interactions and seeing how naturally their relationship developed was worth it in and of itself.

This show is absolutely the model other anime should look to for how to successfully portray a meaningful relationship between two well-developed and likable characters.
