Spice and Wolf is a recent anime that is receiving a lot of positive reviews.

Due to advancing technology however, their dependence on Horo is dwindling. Craft finds a young girl, who reveals herself to be Horo in human form (who appears to be a huge hit among the guys) and allows her to tag along. From Kotobukiya, here's a wonderful PVC rendition of the beautiful Horo in a 1/8th scale figure. She measures 19.5 cm (7.5 inches) tall, and is exquistely crafted standing on a wooden stand creating a very classy look to this free spirited character.
