If I remember correctly, someone wanted this GIf: Furthermore I have some questions regarding the different Translations of the OVA (BSS and Kurou). Maybe some of the people who understand japanese can help me with this: 1) At the beginning, what kind of sheep-story does Lawrence tell Nora? Has it to do with torture or with some kind of merchant business artifice that failes? 2) Which of these translations is correct? 3) Is Horo really somehow "confessing" to Lawrence or does the second translation (Kurou) come closer to the truth? |

Wow I would like to know the "real" translation now. The some what drastic difference between the translation will give me an indication on who to pick up when S2 airs. |

Asako said: Navarr said: The thing is, that her official name is actually "Holo." As long as you don't pronounce it with an English L, but with a Japanese "[r/l]o" you get a good sounding name. I know it is officially Holo, but since when do people care about official spellings with R/Ls? Use whichever is best, which in this case is R. I do it by which one sounds like the name so Horo would be the right choice. Why do they tease the audience that much? Thats so cruel! Or was I the only one who stopped breathing when Lawrence and Horo were about to kiss two times in one of the dream sequences. Seriously my heart was about to skip a beat. I was screaming "Give her a proper kiss you idiot", but apparently all they did was rubbing their noses. *sigh* Special Sickness --> Pregnancy? 0_0 ok first addressing the fact you thought they were going to kiss rubbing noses is very intimate for most canines 2nd ... I dont know if hes slow or just stupid altogether FTGT said: If I remember correctly, someone wanted this GIf: Furthermore I have some questions regarding the different Translations of the OVA (BSS and Kurou).

I've watched BSS for a while and yeah I dont think they made any mistakes first based on my basic knowledge of the language second by the fact that theirs to fit what horo would say more. 3rd this is kurous first time subbing I dont care what they translate names to because in america when you look for spice and wolf your going to have to look for wolf and spice. Not to mention there was a novel and her name would be translated to Horo and I dont think that could be that different... also I dont believe in translating names OMG GUYS: http://myanimelist.net/character/7373/Holo the very top says Holo "Horo, The Wise" sry for the long post didnt wanna double post |

cloudsora said: I've watched BSS for a while and yeah I dont think they made any mistakes... You are right. BSS did the correct translation! I got the confirmation from other sources as well. ^^ @Alas86 If you follow this link you will find the wallpaper-section of the official S&W website: http://www.spicy-wolf.com/special/wallpaper.html If you scroll down, you will find at the bottom the "Christmas" wallpaper. The text on it says "Merry X'mas - From Holo and Lawrence". |

| Good episode. I was worried about the art and music being different, but I'm glad that the music is still the same, the art has somewhat changed but it's still good ^^ |
| It definitely had a different feel from the original series. Not sure exactly how to take it. Though the best part of the episode, in my opinion, was how they played with her dreams. It was really nice how they transitioned into each other and then her waking up with tears. Nice touch. |
 |
| Who's idea was to change the name to Holo ?! It sounds horrible. Even if it's official it still sucks :( |
     |
| It was a cute OVA ^^ |
 |
| It was wholesome enough, Holo seemed much cuter than I remember her. |
| Nice to see Lawrence and Horo again; their blushes were really cute. Having the same BGM is a plus. The art might've taken a turn downwards, but I'm sure that the S2 will be better. Since this OVA has left me with a smile in the end, I'd say that all is well. Looking forward to tremendous amount of dialogue. BSS, I'm patiently waiting for you. PATIENTLY. |
 |
| Maybe it's because I've read the novel but it didn't really live up to my expectations. The interactions between lawrence and horo weren't as good as i had hoped but hopefully it's really just me having my expectations too high. Still i certainly enjoyed it. |
| Animation was really lacking but it was nice to see Horo and Lawrence again even if it felt like there was a lot of forced moeness. |
| Forum signatures are annoying. |
| no ed song? oh well. lol at Lawrence joining into the laughter. |
| Cute OVA :D I agree that the animation wasn't as good as the first season, but it was close enough and doesn't bother me that much. Horo was so cute o///o I didn't notice the "annoying" BGM when I first watched it, but after I read the comments I rewatched the beginning and indeed it was a little annoying. ^^; But still they kept it in the same style as S1, so I'm happy~ Can't wait for S2! |
| o_o ... okay episode ... hahas ... Horo quite cute |
     |
Was that in the last episode of the first season? I'll have to rewatch that because I don't remember her knowing about Horo's true form. Lawrence explained it to her in.. I think it was the second-to-last episode of the first season. Plus, while innocent, she seems to be fairly intelligent, and all the clues they've left would have been put together well enough for her not to be suprised if she hadn't known. One thing I'd disagree with most of you on, is how much affection has increased. When I watched the first, I could see it at least in the second half (once Nora entered) and when I rewatched it, it was almost from the beginning. If anything, I'd say that there was less affection shown in the OAV between them than what was shown in the first season. I really liked this episode. I don't know if it's possible, but Nora seemed to bring out even more of the wolf/human relationship, and I wonder if she's going to continue to travel with them. Have to laugh at how clueless Lawrence is about why Horo doesn't like Nora. 'I know you don't like sheppards' *knocks him over the head* I guess he's never seen a woman acting jelous before. |

 "You're such an idiot." ~Celty (Durarara) "How many seconds until the boy confesses his love to the girl?" ~Durarara Should it be sad now that twice in a season I've been glad that subs scrolls by to quickly for me to process? |
| Horo bumping her head made me giggle. I'm so excited for the second season, I want more Horo x Lawrence and Nora is fine too. The animation wasn't bad, looked about right and such. No idea what to expect either now. |
 |
| i didn't get why they were laughing at the end @@ |
     |
| Kinda late but i've been trying too get the OVA for a while, but can't find it anywhere. Anyone have a tip for me. I read this: An OVA of Spice and Wolf II was announced to be released on April 30th before the airing of the second season. It's called episode 0 and will be bundled with Dengeki Visual Novel "Spice and Wolf: Ohkami to Kin no Mugiho". The episode 0 will not be aired on TV, but can't find it anywhere, not even in stores |
 |
| Haha Lawrence laughing with them at the end xD He's like 'Whaaa? Oh well : D' I missed watching Horo <3 Onto the second season! :3 |
| Horo was as cute as ever. |
 |
| Hmm.... its very strange when they keep this much similar, but change some fundamentals of the series... I think BB is doing a pretty good job of producing the anime, but it seems a lot more comical and moe than before, which I'm a bit disappointed in. Comical moe is so mainstream that it becomes hard to differentiate between all those animes, but I'm sure that Spice and Wolf II can stay out of that realm. It worries me that it's moving in that direction though, but moe is fine with me :D That said, the similarities are well appreciated on this side of the interwebs. The music and animation are pretty much exactly the same which is good, and of course the seiyuus. I hate it when a series gets new voice actors in the sequel, bugs the crap out of me. Overall, still very good, but probably won't measure up to the first season. |
     |
| A good "relationship building" episode, tons of blushing and tsundere glares. Its good to see that they all ended up together again, cant wait for the 2nd season |
    |
| Very artistic, but I still love it, Holo is such a blast of a character. |
| My anime list |
| I liked this Ova more than the first season ; D Horo was very cute it was good that invested more time in the relationship between Horo and Lawrence. Lawrence voice is great. the dream sequence was sad I hope that this will not happen in the end of season 2 but I loved the ending scene with the three were laughing. 9/10 |

| Nice, light-hearted episode. There were many nice "relationship" moments and some funny moments^^ Loved this ova^^ |
seraphjei said: My love for Horo has reignited into flames of passion. This. Cyberloard said: hmm for some reason i think horo's pregnant Lol, I would love to see that. Although we can't tell if humans and wolves can actually reproduce together. Although there were only 3 characters, this OVA made me smile, and laugh. :D |
| As usual, Horo is so sexy. |
 |
| This episode was quite good! Very fun to see Horo, Lawrence and Nora interact! |
| Awwwww, Horo is so cute <3 Awesome as always) |
| I have mixed feelings for this OVA. There were some parts that I really liked but during other, I just wanted it to end. I wish they could have "expanded" that scene where Lawrance dies. I though that that was the best part of it all. |
| I hope the sad dream Horo was having wouldn't come true. As usual, I'm impressed by Koshimizu Ami. Love her voice. |
| Where can you watch this OVA? |
| Still awesome as ever, the animation didn't change much , i only noticed a few small things being changed ... Gotta love when Horo x Lawrence are teasing eachother <3 ! |
| That was a nice one, didn't differ in any way from a normal episode, so, why haven't I watched it before? |
| this episode was cute, it has cute moments, loved how she jumped out when lawerance mentioned somthing tasty, and i love how the music messed up at the end when nora came, not to mention horo being jealous was adorable!! |
     |
| The music in the beginning really bothered me. Horo was really cute :D |
 |
| Not bad. It's nice to see Holo jealous because of Nora. Overall:7/10 |
