Aaaah I'm late! >.<
Oh well, watching the episode now, since I all but forgot about it yesterday >.>
Done, and I genuinly smiled through almost every scene with both Horo and Lawrence : )
And hey when did they start introducing Zelda-characters ? xD
Otherwise, a very good episode, as with the whole series, as well as the prequel, and pretty much everything having to do with it : D

Omg I think Shiek from Zelda made a cameo XD Well that "Woman" looked like Shiek sort of =/
lol That's exactly what I thought.

Honestly, I've been interested in this character ever since I saw her in the intro. She looked important, so I hope she'll have a good role.

lol

lolz laugh st myself as well tho, i actually thought like that too XP
this episode was really flirty :D but i guess the next episode the tension will be back again with the new mystery girl and it might be a long arc again anyway can't doubt it will be long arc or not.
Next episode Wolf and Enticing traveler O_o get my body tumble again >.< can't wait for the week

Actually.. aren't characters that appear in the openings usually more or less important?
I get the feeling it's like that anyway.. Oh well, can't wait to see more : D

just watched it and personally i'm happy that they skipped volume 4.... not that it was a bad volume but i know myself along with many others wouldn't have been satisfied had it taken up the remaining episodes. as already mentioned, this part of the plot is currently unstranslated so to the majority of people here, we don't know what will happen, which is a good thing. hopefully the blond woman will become a rival for horo (it'll bring out horo's childish side which is kawaii.lol)

Great introduction to the arc even though animation is getting sloppy. Holo is definitely the magic that makes the series work.

Lawrence fell asleep on that chair while waiting for Horo's clothes to get warm and dry; Therefore he made her wait the whole night while she was naked on the bed, he had to redeem himself with that many food, he couldn't afford to pay more than Horo's food.

Money.

Look at how many things Holo wanted to eat. Since he didn't want to disappoint her, he bought everything. But he didn't want to "waste" even more money, so he ate something cheap afterwards.

That's what I think, at least.
yeah i agree. Before they entered the town, Horo asked to have some kind of broth with beef and Lawrence said he had to ask his pocket first.
After they arrived, Lawrence took out Horo's cloth to dry and said they will have meal after that. But he fell asleep there and of course Horo isnt quite happy that he left her naked in bed. So in order to make up for that, Lawrence "had to" buy Horo everything she wanted :-)

Wow, the atmosphere between Horo and Lawrence just went through the roof. I enjoyed every scene of them together from beginning to end. My favorite of course being the stairway scene when Horo stumbled Lawrence caught her. She snuggled up nice and tight afterwards.

I also enjoyed how they both agreed there was something funny going on in the town. However Horo asked that they stop whatever it is that they are about to get themselves into before they get too deep. Seem Horo has learned a few things from the multiple incidents that have occurred because of them chasing the almighty coin.

Can't wait to see where this new adventure leads them. But at least there is no question now about what the two feel for each other even if kind of unspoken as Lawrence said its embarrassing.

I like how Lawrence and Horo generally get more intimate as the show progresses. Many series will just keep the relationship the same after major arcs which is seriously disappointing, but this show seems to avoid that pitfall.

There we go. Some Horo + Lawrence action that I've been desperately waiting for the last couple of weeks. Me sensing very good vibes from the two of them. And that wrapped up person keeps reminding me of Shiek from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Anybody else?

I don't know.

Her character might be more interesting if she turned out to have had physical relationships with the men she's talked about in past episodes.

We know she has talked about another man, years in the past, who resembled Lawrence somewhat.


Also, in this episode, she said to Lawrence, "You're too expensive. Has anybody even bought you yet?"

I.e., "You're too sexually inhibited. Are you still a virgin, at your age?"

Highly unlikely. She had too many occasions, both with humans and other giant wolves.

I doubt it too, having lived for over 700 years, and considering .. for example, the mating tendencies among wolves, not to mention that she's also been running around in her human form.

I'm with everyone else who thinks Lawrence needs to get the hint. That little tail wag when they went up to the room wasn't asking for a compliment, it was saying come here. Proof? The look she gave him in the morning when he didn't come to bed, and his over-willingness to buy her whatever she wanted to eat. The sexual tension is great. I was worried about this show when I watched the first episode, but I watch the rest up this episode last night and I also think that this season is on pare if not better than last season. I promise to watch religiously from now on. I don't know if this was discussed in a previous forum but Mazui's subs timing was off quit a few times. I'm switching to SFW.

This episode really gave me a Kino's Journey vibe, something is not quite right with the town and it will take a bit to figure it out.

Love that Horo and Lawrence are almost there, just don't know what they could do with the story if they actually do do it.

The number of Horo/Lawrence actions is so big, that I am so excited! During first season , I was desperately waiting for some romantic scenes with them, but there weren't much of them. Now, I think, it was good - their relationship is developing very naturally. As for me, it happens too rarely in anime, so I'm delighted ^^
I loved the episode, but it is a pity that this blond person is a woman, I wanted a bishounen (Amarty was horrible ><)

I agree. Although there was no real progress storywise, the heartwarming moments between Mr. and Ms. Craft (...wouldnt that be nice) totally compensated for that. ^^


I LoLed. But who wished for a cuddling? Lawrence or Horo?
Overall I had some problems understanding the conversation at that point. Does someone have a clue?

The new girl looks a lot more classy then most characters and normally when they look classy their either people of high class or animals. I wonder if she ran away and is in hiding and the 500 man meeting is really set up to search for her.

Interesting theory.... they also mentioned slave trader at the beginning of the episode!

that scene was what Lawrence was thinking (or planning to do but he didnt do it). And it was at the same time what Horo wanted, Lawrence refrained himself from hugging Horo that's why she looked displeased (Horo already said a few times that she wants Lawrence to be more "fiery" like the burning doll)

The relationship between Holo and Lawrence seemed to improve/deepen by a huge amount in just one episode which was kind of weird considering how little it depth was added from season 1.

Other than those cute scenes it appears that the next arc is already ready to go.
