| Holo was more uneasy than usual this episode. Main cause of this is likely Nora since she is a shepherdess and perhaps also her feeling jealous. Holo had a lot of pissed off expressions lol She kinda represents the opposite of Holo. Those wolf instincts came in full display! The chemistry between her and Lawrence just never ceases to amuse me this season. |
 |
| I found it really hilarious when two out of three people were completely engrossed in a said activity, namely Nora and Lawrence, and then there was Holo, making herself look as disinterested as one could in their life. I mean she wasn’t even acknowledging Nora’s presence lol. Talk about “women’s intuition”. Really love Holo lol. By the way, the awkwardness when Nora was escorting Lawrence and Holo from wolves till they reached Ruvenheigen has to be the most ironic thing we’ve seen yet.. I mean a holy wolf herself getting escorted by a young lady from wolves of all creatures is just one of a kind thing lol. Though you can trust Holo to throw a barrage of banters in such time, and she did too. Hope that doesn’t actually make Lawrence kind of too complacent, and results in him forgetting the fact of his visit to the church city itself. Anyways, the trade is happening in the next episode. Fun times this episode, but it is very much looking like it won't be similar next time. |

| Glad to see Norah has finally made her appearance. Lawrence and Holo, having purchased a large quantity of weapons on credit, loaded them onto a carriage and headed towards Ruvinheigen the city founded by the Church. Along the way, they encountered a young shepherdess named Norah Arendt. She proposed to Lawrence that he hire her as an escort for the journey. Despite rumors of wolves along the road, Lawrence felt the scent of business and decided to hire Norah. Lawrence manages to convince a hesitant Holo to agree, though not without teasing her about his motives. With that settled, the group sets off towards Ruvinheigen. During the journey, Lawrence converses with Norah and discovers her ties to the Church and her aspirations for financial independence. Upon reaching Ruvinheigen, Lawrence generously compensates Norah for her assistance and bids her farewell as he proceeds to sell the armaments in his cart. Really hope we see more of Norah in the future. |

| Sweet episode again! |

| Another week not being married to Holo.. dunno how many more I got in me. But great episode, Holo is in her jealous arc and it’s so cute! I love how Holo feels the need to reiterate that she’s the cutest girl so she’s all Lawrence needs. While true, Holo is also desperately afraid of being alone again as we’ve seen in previous episodes and anyone who could potentially threaten the partnership she has with Lawrence scares her. Fortunately for her, couldn’t be more wrong. Norah just wants people to travel with as well and I can see them being good friends once Holo warms up to her and starts talking to her. I think Norah is hiding some stuff from them, though. That priest in town who was watching her herd the sheep didn’t look happy.. and I wonder what the message Lawrence from the guild was. So many cute Holo moments in this episode as usual. Love her pinching Lawrence’s leg when he starts speaking bad about her wolf brethren, taking the meat from his mouth and then dropping her jaw when Lawrence put on his smooth rizz gimmick. 😂 wiping the little beer drizzle on Holo sleeve was cute too. God I love her sm. Great episode, can’t wait for the next |

| Many things to like once again: Holo's jealousy was so cute and funny, Nora is so brave and adorable despite her rough life, Lawrence little 'smooth talking' in front of Holo and her consequently dying of laughter made me laugh myself, that guid master who calls Lawrence his son is such a cool and interesting character (can't wait to see more of him), and last but not least the music this week was top notch and I really enjoyed it (made me appreciate the story even more). Oh, and as usual, the little banter/discussions between Holo and Lawrence are always great, a lot of fun really. |
| That part in the beginning of Nora making the circle was neat. Was wondering what that was in the original anime. Glad they explained it here. However, some other dialogue got cut. Like Lawrence telling that bartender who was praising Holo that she'd be perfect if she didn't have a tail lol. The CGI sheeps, horses, and other things look so jarring after coming from the 2008 anime. It has become a common method of cutting corners sadly. Other than that, I liked this episode. Jealous Holo was even more cute here than the original and I really like the remake versions of the same OSTs. Waiting for the next episode. |
| Movement for sheep and horses doesn't look good. Apart from that everything else was solid. Holo: 'I am cuter' Yes. |
| Very slow episode, not much on the new character but she seems to have a role in the future |
 |
| Jealous Holo is jealous.... lol, so cute, Lawrence got a passing grade, just. The look from Enek at Holo "i know what you are, wolf-girl" You can see the plot points being formed in this episode, with the characters, locations seen and mentioned |
| A slower episode that would be really boring in some shows but at least with this show at this stage of the series, it managed to deliver something solid. Got to learn more about the shepherd, Norah's character who Lawrence hired to help them on their journey to Ruvenheigen with their journey, Holo being jealous but also managing to get some good laughs with Lawrence's delivery of a line that's 'out of character' to say the least and as they enter Ruvenheigen, some suspicious looks were given to the shepherd from the priest and suspicious news seemingly awaiting Lawrence at the very end. It was a lot less ominous here compared to the original anime but the original anime was maybe too over the top with that scene as well so it was something I guess, a middle would've been better to make it a better cliffhanger. The episode itself didn't stand out as among the best, but it did fly by relatively well and learning about Norah's character a bit more was a nice change of pace, and building a potential business relationship with her for the future with Lawrence's advice can be mutually beneficial for the both of them in the future. I would say it was pretty good on a whole. |
| Loved Nora's voice, Holo's jelously was painfully cute. |
 |
| Nice to have Norah added to the cast, we don’t know much about her yet but we did find out she works under the church and how she met her sheep dog, cute dog even if it’s CGI sometimes lol. Also the Holo jealousy with the arrival of Norah has been great, didn’t realize she was the type to let that kind of thing get to her, it’s cute for sure tho, I loved that bit where Lawrence said something really cool in response to Holo’s jab that Norah didn’t like talking to him, not many things will get Holo to drop her food lol. And we’ve finally made it to the big city Ruvinheigen, it’s a cool place and looks to be more lively than the previous towns/cities, but it seems like something is up in regards to Lawrence’s armor, especially with that message we were teased with, I’m just hoping Lawrence can still score those profits. We also met that new guy who Lawrence’s seems to be good buds with, to the point Lawrence is called his son, he seems like a good fella so I’m happy with his addition, but there’s always a chance any of these characters got more than meets the eye with them so best not to like them too much right off that bat lol. |
| The journey to Ruvenheigen, an interesting path filled with sheep and wolves... This episode was a bit slower, but I enjoyed the introduction to Norah's character, and also Holo's jealousy toward her. It made for some fun banter between Lawrence and Holo, and who could complain about that? While this was more of a transition episode to set up the trade taking place likely in the next episode, a nice reprieve is good once in a while. Hopefully we get to see Norah in future episodes. As for the visuals, some of the CGI horses weren't great to look at, but for the most part, it looks fine enough. Looking forward for some more trades to happen! |
| nice to see nora and glad her VA hasn't changed either. think i remember holo teasing lawrence in one particular scene cuter in the of, but it's not really a major problem, nice episode. |
 |
| Holo mad, Holo mad Holo so cute when she laughs Holo so cute when she wants sheep. Give Holo sheep More beer for Holo |
| Aww it's so cute, Holo can't help but be jealous. Seriously did anyone else go "WHAT?" when that guild guy called Lawrence "son"??? Only for us to later on find out he calls all those who come to him "son" if he's known them long enough. I'm a little worried for the Shepherdess, is it just me or was that priest looking at her funny and by funny I don't mean in a good way, but in a creepy way. |
 |
| Holo getting jealous was just priceless. Still having Nora as extra protection was a good move and it was nice having a new character join them as well. Being a shepherd though must be lonely. Lawrence sure had one hell of a trump card though. This town though sure is viewing independent traders like Lawrence with some amount of hostility. Looks like trouble is approaching though. |

Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it. |
| Nora has a kawaii (cute) voice, Understandable why Holo doesn't like Nora much. |

I feel bad for Nora but I'm not simping fo anyone but Holo in this anime!!!   |
Read Toriko!  |
| Holo can be entertaining in many ways, but I think jealousy would rank high on that list for me. Seeing her act like that towards Lawrence due to him talking to Nora a lot was cute and funny. =) The fact that she works for the church should mean that she has a stable job to rely on, although the advice given to her from Lawrence was nice. Having said that, after arriving in Ruvinheigen, the priest did give her an odd look. Overall, it felt more like a transitional episode, but it was still a good one at that. |
| Holo is so clingy in this adaptation and that's just plain cute. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| They doing my good boy Enek dirty with that 3D model lol. |
| Getting escorted by Norah against the wolves while you have a wolf with you ahah, well that was cute anyway, now finally in the city. |
 |
| Holo are so jealous. Hell Yeah, of course Holo is cuter. |
 |
| Man, Lawrence can't win even once against Holo lol. Her laughing out loud at him was a bit mean, not gonna lie. Poor CGI aside, it was another enjoyable episode. |
| Very nice, chill episode. (7/10) |
| I always try to avoid this anime every week, thinking it's going to bore me, but once I start watching, it draws me in. It's a great immersive experience, and when the credits roll, I'm like: What, it's over already? D: I love it, but for some reason, I find it hard to get motivated to watch the weekly episode. |
 |
| good as always, but I think that talk with guy in trading house was stupid.. ok, first part looked like password talk, but then for a moment they talk like they know each other then next sentence shows they likely don't know each other.. also some parts of city walls were strange shape like "U" on bottom of town (the birdview shot) it makes little sense as it would be easier and cheaper to build it straight also having more room inside walls for more buildings.. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| The banter between the characters never fails to make me smile. |
 |
| The new girl is super cute! And seems very innocent and kind. Even Holo could agree to that as she immediately seemed jealous. Hope we see more of her. Something seems up with armor. Hope my boy Lawrence doesn't get screwed over. |
| The Sheepkeeper is cute. |
| i think im in the minority that actually likes Noras character more than Holos |
