noteDhero said: Second most anticlimactic ending to an arc I've seen all year. They basically said that the majority of the past 3 or so episodes were worthless. Bad. That's kind of what was going through my mind as well, though not as harsh as you stated. This arc should easily have ended last week, if not earlier. I'd figured as much it was all planned out by Horo. Anyway, now that Horo was actually back on talking terms with Lawrence, I now realize how much this show suffers without her interaction. The second half of this show was so much more enjoyable with her witty comments. Kind of glad this arc is over, but it did have its good points, especially with all the drama. |
| Awesome Episode. Excellent Story |

israfel070 said: It was really about Lawrence deciding how valuable Horo is to him, that she's not some random coincidence along the way (like Mark said), and for both of them to stop using Yoitsu so much as a cover for truly wanting to be together. So ending it with that reconciliation is just as well. This. People who say that the other episodes of this arc had no meaning don't get the point of the events at all. How you could call them meaningless considering the amoung of character development we got is beyond me... |
| I thought so, I mean she's Horo the wise something like that didn't suit her. All we were given was that baka Lawrence point of view almost made me hate one of my favorite female character! |
adamantine said: So I pretty much had a giant grin on during the entire second half of the episode. So much love for the end of this arc. :D Same, I was like "lol happy face :D" when they were together in the room, this story shines when both of them are teasing each other like that. Their relationship is the key point of the whole anime. Amarty should have a list of haters more than a list of lovers (aka favorites). |
| Yay, they're together again. |

| As expected, Horo made the deciding vote with her pyrite. I have to admit, I was pissed at how it concluded so fast. All they did was a quick summary of Lawrence giving Amarti the bag and that was it. I was expecting more of a confrontation between the two party's similar to how this whole arc started. O well, at least Horo knows Lawrence's feelings now. PS. wtf was up with Mazui's encoding this time? Media player classic got all messed up at two parts in the episode. I had to pull out VLC to watch it. |

| yes! I am so fucking happy Armati got stuck, not by just Lawrence, but Horo too! Loved the look on his face when Horo dumped all the pyrite on the trader's desk. !!!!!!! Geeze and I love how much of a tease she is now, after hearing Lawrence's "question" about Gods and Humans.... Glad she is back and we are moving along, I was about to start punching babies if I was forced another week without Horo. |

| The fanboy side of me is saying its awesome they are back together, so that makes it a great episode. Yet the logical side of me is saying that it was a downright fucking retarded conclusion that was flat out anticlimactic. I feel as though I just wasted my time watching the drama being built up from the previous episodes. The ending gives you a nice warm feeling, but story wise it was just stale.

I'm not convinced that Horo was plotting everything all along--it could have just been a cover-up on her part at the end. She could have been genuinely hurt during their last confrontation, and wondering to herself if it was worth staying with Lawrence. I STRONGLY doubt this is true. Because, you know, she's too much in love already. The episode 0 was enough to picture how much and deep her feelings for Lawrence are. And as an absolutely normal person she of course wants a proof her feelings are not entirely unrequited. So, basically, the wise and impatient wolf plotted everything including the conforntation from the very begninng, beacuse she does realise how dense and slow Lawrense is. This is just so natural for her character. At least, that's how I pictured her based on season 1. Maybe I'm totally wrong ^^ Charliehsv said: This. People who say that the other episodes of this arc had no meaning don't get the point of the events at all. How you could call them meaningless considering the amoung of character development we got is beyond me... What char development are you talking about? Lawrence realising his true feelings for Holo? Well, sorry but this single 'development' could have been done much better. And I think this is the actual reason why people complain - the direction of the arc was extremely poor. I guess most are dissatisfied with the arc dramatising so much and that long and then just bringing a brief 5-minute outcome. The balance is just so wrong. Besides, previous episodes did actually lack the new information a lot, they just put too many pauses with each chracaters staring at something/someone. Or inserted totally topic-unrelated and long dialogs. Boring. Bad direction is bad direction. |

| This was really awesome, but is not actually good enough ending. They were put to much stuff on it and thrown some of detail away also too quick with the conclusion in the end. Anyway could say that this Spice and Wolf make the boring stuff like trading business, setting on journey in attractive way ps. watch the whole 20 minutes pass by as 5 minutes >.< i watch it twice today and don't get bore of it XP (time to wait for a whole week again) |
| Well that got resolved quite quickly, not that I'm complaining. The Wise Wolf Horo <3 |
 |
| So that kid likes Horo too? Never would have guessed...I think. "This is your pusnishment for trying to steal someone else's woman." HAH. Take that, you little shit. |
 |
| Wow, Horo pwned everyone! I'm so happy she was just putting on a play! <3 |
 |
Jigero said: Also maybe Amarti said "Can I put it in your butt?" >.> unforgivable. You sir, win. |
 |
| Horo is such a tease.. hooray for happy arc endings. i remember seeing the tension in this arc somewhere before. great that Lawrence was able to keep much of his cool this time around. |
| Sometime this show gives me too much of a dramatic feeling, but in the end it's worth it. I was not sure how the fuck Horo got that much pyrite? Then she was all hanging on Lawrence. WTF. I am an angry man, but in the end it was cute. |

formosan said: saxophone said: Mikiyo said: I also have to agree with this.Falatorx said: I think we're just as in the dark about what Amarty told Horo as Lawrence is. I don't imagine it is the "i love you thing" as he probably did feel that way. More than likely it was something bad about Lawrence and chances are Horo will eventually tell us before the series is done. This. Totally ridiculous if it was the "I love you" from Amarty to Horo. Im pretty sure it was some bad thing about Lawrence. Lawrence had strongly implied that "three times" Holo had "wept in his arms." Amarty probably said something like, "I know Lawrence has violated your maidenhood three times, but I'm so generous I'm willing to marry a girl who *isn't* a virgin..." And yeah, that is the kind of patriarchal comment that would anger Holo twice. 1) She is angry at Lawrence for not moving faster; 2) She is angry at Amarty for feeling generous and condescending. I think it might have been something even more simpler then that. After all Holo does get angry over small things. Amarty could have made a comment about how she dresses, smells (ie. you smell like a dog when she's really a wolf), or possibly even made fun of Lawrence. Regardless I think it's pointless to ponder over minor details like that. |

| I don't know why I laughed so hard reading your post Deathfire...but I did. Holo is quite petty. |
| Ahhh it all went well ^^, glad Horo and Lawrence and fine with each other although the last few minutes were going in a slightly different direction than economics =P but the revelation of Deanna surprised me, although it should have been obvious. Good episode overall. |
| And the problem is finally resolved. Lovely Horo returns and the show gets better the second half when she comes back. I was surprised to find out that Deanna wasn't human. Never crossed my mind, now that I think about it shouldn't be that surprising. Oh well. Good episode. <3 |
   |
| Gahhhh, it was all an act!! I should've known, Horo's too smart to fall for a schmuck like that. |
     |
| The little kid saying he loved Horo was unexpected... |

Forever said: Well, that was sweet but I feel a little bit disappointed because the resolution was so anti climatic. I feel they could have done this much better. That's how all of season 1 was. I'm sorta glad. I like the easy-going nature of this show... |

| rawrs .. wat a way to end the episode -.- |
     |
| YAY! for Horoness. I really liked this episode it really showed how smart Horo is and how much Lawrence overthinks things also Amarty got what he deserved xD. Really looking forward to the next episode and its foreplayness. |
