Gold smuggle, huh. I was wondering how they were going to do it since there'd only be one way, hiding it within the sheep and that was exactly what they decided. xD

Episode was alright, Horo was great as always but it felt like something was missing. Looking forward to the next episode, too bad it's almost over already.

Very nice episode. I figured the counterplan would somehow involve Norah but not sure what. Interesting plan with the gold. Very much looking forward to seeing this played out.

I liked it. Lawrence and Horo seem to be getting closer, and they should be getting back on their feet if this gold smuggling deal works out. I had a feeling it was going to involve Norah. Looking forward to next week.

Horo-chan (maybe I should use Sama. Afterall, she is a goddess. right?) quickly got Lawrence out of his funk from losing his cool with her anger/flirt tactics.

I cant believe only 2 more episodes left...

so how are they going to get the gold out of the sheep? they can't really kill them to get it since they belong to the church and they probably don't have time for it to come out any other way.

i also wonder if they'll be betrayed by there new business partners, though with only 2 episodes left i consider it to be unlikely.

[Horo x Lawrence fanaticism]

Sakinho (Ep. 10 discussion) said:

... Can't wait till next week. They'd better make up with at least a hug! >_<




YES! Wish hard enough and it becomes true! And if anyone says Horo was just playing around, you should notice that her tail wags a little when she's happy or comfortable. Horo DOES like Lawrence, she's just too shy to admit it, so she resorts to these emotional games where she can almost tell him her feelings but then dismiss it with a laugh ^_^

And there's more where that came from:



Now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside *-*

[/Horo x Lawrence fanaticism]

That aside, the episode was nice. I liked the start where Lawrence apologized when Horo wanted him to be mad at her, but he couldn't do it because it just wasn't his nature. Five and a half minutes of reconciliation (<3) later, they saw the "way out you only find when you're against a corner" mentioned in the last episode. I thought it was good, because it's desperate and risky yet possible, lucrative and it screws with the Church =p Also, I loved Horo's jealousy after Nora said she'd only do it because it was Lawrence that asked her ^^

In short, awesome episode. I hope this anime continues strongly and finishes both beautifully and in a manner that hints towards a second season.

I like the irony in the situation. Some episodes ago (I believe somewhere halfway through the season) Lawrence explained Horo why hardly anyone dares to smuggle Gold. Now here he is, forced to do something he always thought was not worth the risk. I guess he has nothing to lose.

did they said they were going to feed it to the sheep? @_@ i was thinking more of just tying the gold somehow around the sheep bellies so they won't be seen @_@

plus nora = moe <3 loli loli loli hooo. but yeah, horo is still the win.

and i was also hoping for a kiss in that "you're a softy" scene :(

I felt the same way, and I couldn't quite put my finger on why. I mean, the episode flew by; it wasn't like I was bored. And their fight and hug was good... but I dunno. Still enjoying it though :)

Greed sounds too harsh, he just wanted to make some profit.
As for the Gold smuggling, desperate times call for desperate measures!!!

Nice awesome. I suspected Lawrence would try something reckless like gold smuggling considering the conversation that took place but I couldn't figure out how he'd accomplish it with one day left. Cutting a deal with the loan sharks makes sense. Lawrence is a softy. I'm betting Twenty Rumione (sp?) is all the surplus profit left from smuggling the gold after paying his debt and he and Horo will be penniless again. :p

Another great episode. I personally don't think it was missing anything really, it just went by so fast. Its almost over already and I want more. I really do hope that we get a second season, though the pacing of it almost seems like they designed it with a second season in mind.

I can tell you I will be awaiting the news of a continuation...

I know EXACTLY what was missing: A dramatic hug/kiss full of passion and desire! :]

The "make up for it"-scene was funny and kind of romantic. But well, at the same time for me it felt reserved and cold. As if Lawrence would be a robot not capable of human feelings.

I am sure we will get to see a kiss before the end and I am hoping for it. They have been growing closer this entire time but it seems like they are both holding back. Something big is probably going to happen and then they will both get swept up in the moment and we will get our kiss.

They are WAY too far from the "North" for the series to be over. Plus, we know barely anything of Horo's past, only that she was left alone and was betrayed once (conjecture from her conversations).

Er, I might be wrong on this but they're probably going to have to cut open the sheeps stomach, put in the gold, and then sew them back up, not feed it to them.

Then again I don't know if they have the ability to that like we can now. =/

Erm.... How old is Horo (In human age)? I know that in the past, the women used to be much younger than the man and stuff, but Lawrence, who is supposed to be young already is MUCH taller than Horo. She sometimes looks like a teen. o.o"



Edit.: Speechless Lawrence was just priceless.

Well she is supposed to have the "appearance" of a 16 year old girl, but obviously she is much older than that (as in hundreds of years). So really she would be the one robbing the cradle here. :p

Very interesting episode. I'm a little suspicious of the gold smuggling deal. It feels like Lawrence is setting himself up for betrayal by one of the other parties. I'm hoping it pans out well. Horo was as cute as ever, though I'm still waiting for a first kiss.... ^.^
