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.

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.


That's what I'd like to know too.


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 :(

Aww, this episode was so cute. I loved the scene between Horo and Lawrence and can't wait for the next episode. I'll be heartbroken if there is no second series, there's so much more to see!

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.
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 :)

In short, awesome episode. I hope this anime continues strongly and finishes both beautifully and in a manner that hints towards a second season.
Agreed. How is she going to get home before this season is over, if there's only two eps left :O

One moment Lawrence is in debt from greed he says and now he's gold smuggling? Gotta go with the times I guess...

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

I knew it would have something to do with Nora, I am so glad I was right. ^_^ Smuggling gold in the stomachs of sheep, what an interesting idea. Can't wait to see how this will turn out!

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. =/

Yep, that's missing ! XD

I liked the part when Lawrence said "Because you're special"
or something like that :) (But i guess it was a little odd lol)

I'm still confusing about the correct number of episodes @0@!

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.... ^.^

two more episodes till the ending of an awesome and cute anime
horo's moeness this level reached the tsuntsun level. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
lawrance catching horo = awesome part.
lol at the way they were practicing some kind of drama xD
horo really is a unique character
the plan seems something quite.... dangerous, but also something that may work.... writer = smart, really clever, and probably wise..... just like horo xD
i just feel sorry for nora to be the one doing all the dangerous stuff... she is quite cute.
i also love how at the end nora was so decided xD
the ending was cute with horo hugging lawrance like that from the back.

Loved the make up between Lawrence and Horo that more than made up for the ending last episode, and they're off to make a massive gamble, but gold smuggling, it should have been obvious but slipped my mind. Still Lawrence is the man =P

I don't dislike her and I find it quite refreshing to have a non-tsunderekko play the main part. Plus, I love her character design. But I can't really get to love her. Can't quite put my finger on it though...
Okay, Horo-fanboys, start beating me up! T_T

Apart from that, I really liked the episode. I'm curious how they're going to pull this off. I hope no sheep gets hurt. xD

Smuggling of gold, huh? Wonder if it'll work out for them.

Horo and Lawrence act was also awesome, lol. I guess Horo likes man who's a softy, atleast that's what I think. XD

Very nice episode. Good luck to Nora for accepting such a dangeroous job. So, she only accepted it because Lawrence was the one who asked her, awwww. :)

I loved this episode as i've loved them all but, cyruz is right, something is missing, there just wasn't really much happening and considering not much usually happens this means the story was just about plotting. Boo.

still loved it though but maybe i'm just soft hearted XD

Once again a very strong episode for a very strong series. The writing continues to be great, and Horo and Lawrence are just fantastic characters. I freaking love this show.

Another really good episode. So, there's two episodes left, obviously I can see why there's a 2nd seaon. I'm starting to wonder if the 2nd season can even end the story. I'm feeling quite teased though, will Lawrence give up his dreams to travel with Horo? Guess I may find out some day. If Horo wasn't a god I'd ask her to dinner myself :P . I liked the drama in these last two episodes, I'm hoping they have more like that some of them just seemed to drift by.
Such junk...
