I loved the episode, it was over so fast. ^^

Horo's teasing is great, her behavior in general is so refreshingly different. Very entertaining. Also it was interesting to see what Chloe had connections like this this.

Allright I didn't really get what they did to save Horo but apparently it has to do with something political.
Nice encounteer between Chloe and Horo.

Baaaww! Horo, you're definately going to be in my Favorite Anime Character List after this episode. :D

Loved how she acted at first when Lawrence rescued her. Their relationship seems to be improving too.
Now all they have to is to hide until the Milone Company wins the case, that's what I think.

So, this is the profit Chloe was talking about in the early episodes with Lawrence. Didn't expect her to be with the enemies either.

Pretty good episode.
Lawrence rescued Horo without any tassle at all. I kinda hoped for some sort of action.
Lawrence comes off as cold to me. Sure he's a merchant & I bet he doesn't want to get hurt by a too good for him God.
For some reason this series is reminding me of The Counte of Monte Cristo. Or maybe it was just this episode. So much planning to get revenge.
Such junk...

I thought that it was a sweet episode.

You have to love the power of the church during this period. Love history!

Though, if you don't know economics the first few minutes made no sense. Thankfully I love econ!

I wonder what that girl is trying to do. I thought that she liked Lawrance. Anyway, can't wait to see the next episode!

Chole seemed to be just a mindless background moe girl , I'm glad she became an antagonist , I can't wait to see her getting beaten up by Horo's wolf form ^_^!
The church seems to be exactly like in the medieval times : stupid , supernaturalophobic and sarcastic ( " don't kill cause it's bad" , " kill the witch, kill the pagans , kill , kill , kill" )

Even though I saw others mentioning it on the previous episode's discussion thread (for ep. 4) I didn't actually think Chloe would be there. o_O I can't believe she was so serious in this episode, too... I didn't really like her from the start. Maybe she's bitter that Lawrence didn't like her back and has now turned to the church to make her feel better about herself... XD

All the Lawrence x Horo moments are adorable. :D This was indeed a great episode.

Amazing. I think this show will become one of my favorites by the time I finish it. Holo and Lawrence are both great characters and the way the plot is exposed is realistic - I liked that they did show the thinking behind the plan and didn't limit themselves to how things went afterwards.

Nice episode. Chloe is a real decisive and determined bitch, she has all what's needed to become brilliant peddler or either - merchant. Horo is amazing and kawaii in the same time, Lawrence seems badass just for being able to resist her :D

I feel that these marketing discussions are realllyy confusing because how their world works is very different from modern society D=. I had to pause quite a few times to get the concepts.

I don't think it's a concern that the "rescue mission" was easy and fast (for now atleast). I like that it's straightforward and no unnecessarily outdrawn arc(s). I do agree that episode 4 set some pretty high standards, and that ep 5 had higher expectations because of it.

Needless to say this anime is going into the right direction.

The rescue plan worked out in one ep...felt a little fast but glad it was resolved. I'm not quite understanding the details about the rescue plan so might go back later and try to figure it out.

Holo was soo cute after she reunited with Lawrence. Had that dumb grin on my face again :D

EDIT: Actually, I think i might have the answer but needs confirming.
Are they saying that Torreny country wants the coins back so much that the protagonists and their trading company will be able to buy rights that are worth more than the amount of coins being exchanged?


Yes, King Trenni is having financial troubles, and wants to recall his silver coins so he can re-mint them with less silver in each one (to make more overall coins). That means that if someone hoards a lot of the coins (like Milone is doing) they can come knocking on his door and say "here's a ton of your silver coins, we'd like to negotiate". The King would have to pay with something more than the value of the coins, and thus would have to offer a special right or privilege.

The difference-in-value scheme was different. Medioh was conning people into thinking the OPPOSITE was happening: Trenni was going to re-mint his coins with MORE silver in them (a tactic that will increase reputation and prosperity). Coins weren't dated back then, so if someone hoarded the lesser-valued coins, then waited, then traded them back at the right time when the prices adjusted for the new ones, they would make money (even with conversion fees). Medioh would wait until people were desperate (having hoarded coins that will diminish in value) and then swoop in and save the day, and then be able to get a big amount of coins to do what Milone ended up doing.

Funny enough, Brina Palencia did actually voice the Grand Cleric of Orlais in Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker.
