bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
Axxendal said: Papander said: Didn't quite get the end, what was so special about the coins that made lawrence look so worried. Or was it just an act to confuse amarty? They're gold coins instead of silver, so instead of 300 silver coins he got 14 or so gold coins. Which means he can't really use any of it unless he exchanges back to silver coins. Which would be a problem if he had to make a lot of small transactions. So if he was relying on Amarty's payment for anything, he's now screwed. (Kinda like using a $100 bill at McDonald's or something-they'll refuse it and make you go find some smaller bills.) At least, that's how I thought of it. It also cost a little extra for Amarty to upscale to a gold coin (ie. Service charge). I think Lawrence already mentioned that in the episode or a past one. Lawrence sees this as omg if he has that kind of money then that must mean he's almost at his projected total or he's really confident that he will win. I think with that and a combination of what you said have thrown Lawrence for a loop. |

| the series sort of feels like dragonball z now. little progress per episode but leaves you at a cliffhanger anyway. kinda like a f*** you to the viewers. what exactly is the producer stalling for? theres only 12 episodes. |

Yo yo so nice to see people defending spice and wolf 2 here. Keep it up! I love the series. Lawrence had his mind set on business so much that he was starting to forget what's important. |
| Great buildup episode, can't wait for next week. I couldn't stop reading during the upcoming financial battle, it was just that intense. |
| Oh the suspense is killing me! Even if I have no idea what the hell they're talking about half the time, it's okay. I miss Horo and Lawrence together and I hope he can win her back. Wohoo! |
 |
| This is turning into a very nice study of the emotional condition of someone facing loss. Watching Lawrence gradually sink at points into self-doubt and desperation is pretty involving for me as a viewer. I think it's a credit to the storytelling that it has been able to take Amarty, who has done everything by the rules and in his mind likely thinks he is doing the right thing, and make him into an absolute villain loathed by a lot of viewers, simply because we have made a connection with Lawrence and are rooting for him. That empathy that we're feeling is a sign of really good writing, in my opinion. That being said, I am still awaiting, fully expecting, and deeply desiring Amarty to have a "Trading Places"-level Randolph-and-Mortimer Duke "SELL SELL SELL" meltdown within the next episode or two. |

unlisted said: SGx2 said: on what day this show is airing? If you check the wikipedia list of episodes for Spice and Wolf, the air dates all land on a Thursday. I don't know how accurate that is but my gut feeling would say Thursday or Friday. Thats from when it got subbed. Not When it airs. It airs Wednesday in Japan and is subbed about 24 hours later. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Ok now whats happening, amarty gave the golden coins...horo is with him.. T___T want ep 6 now. |
 |
| Even though i like this show , only one thing i can say : Too much Spice not enough Wolf these past two episodes. |

cyrelleboa7 said: If I were Amarty, I'd just grab Horo and run away as soon as I found out that she's an indebted nun.. =) Bah, if I was Amarty I would have grabbed her and ran no matter what I heard, because Horo~ <3 While I've been enjoying these recent episodes, I can say I'm a bit annoyed at this arc stretching on for so long, since it seems obvious to me that this drama can't really go anywhere if the series is to continue. I suppose I wouldn't mind too much if it ends next episode and leads to some decent development in Lawrence and Horo's relationship, though. |
 |
| Not enough Horo but this sure is getting good. |
 |
| Rather late for the 5th episode. But I didnt want to watch it in a rush, so I had to wait until now (...damn real life). Disadvantage: Everything important has been said already. :P Advantage: The 6th episode awaits me right now. :D I have to highlight again how brilliant the story of the novel is turned into motion. Every important aspect is there. *happy* Too long arc? No way .... for me its exactly as its supposed to be! noteDhero said: I wish you would post spoilers in spoiler tags. Quote for undeniable truth! Please consider the fact that only a few people have read the novel. A lot of people dont want to get spoiled in case of future events! |

| huge cliffhanger this ep(well,not that big..but still...) i just hope Horo and Lawrence will end up together in the end,as long as it is not the ULTRA-SUPER-(not)AWESOME-Happy Ending, im ok with it ^^ |

| Am a little lost on those trading tricks each one is playing and that credit thing he arranged with Amarty. As for the end. Well i understand that he was shocked from seeing Horo there but5 maybe it wasn't only that but the fact that she was also saying something to Amarty. As we know Horo is smart and knows how Lawrence thinks. So maybe that made him feared that not only she would choose Amarty if he doesn't manage do stop him from gathering the 1000 silver coins but also will give him advice that can destroy Lawrence. By the way does anyone knows what exactly is the problem with the gold coins? |

| Lolvipogobacktoyourhood. Don't like the way this is going, and there was indeed not enough Horo. Looking forward to episode 6. |

| Thank god I'm watching all the episodes at once after delaying watching the series while it was airing. If I had to wait one week for each of these episodes I would be blowing up right now at the pacing of the series. Episode was good, but the series up to this point has been quite slow.. I loved the ending portion of this episode, Lawrence's emotional change when he saw Horo really made me feel empathetic towards him. He really cares a lot about her but shes acting like a stuck-up cow right now. . Hopefully it speeds up to a conclusion in the next episode. Also, Amarty needs to die; very, very painfully. (That was random) |

| Damn, I think Amati will win. Fuck you Amati, you faggot. Poor Lawrence, wonder what he will do to get Horo back. Very nice episode overall. Feel bad for Lawrence though, it's like everything is against him. Good for him that he still has Mark, Bartose, and Deanna. |
| HOLO DIES AT THE END !!! MWHAHAHA |
 |
| It makes me hurt so much when I saw Amarty stays with Horo while Lawrence have nothing to do but watch. This episode was really good, and I enjoyed it so far. Not enough Horo, though. |

| end this arc already please -_-"... i need to start studying for my exams =P... time for next ep gar! |
| I guess I must be one of the few who thinks this season has been better than the first so far. But, then again most people's excuses for this are no better than "needs moar Horo!" |

 |
| Epic tension! I have no word to explain what I feel now! This is check and mate! Lawrence, I believe in you! I know you find a way out! |
| I don't like this Armati guy. He's rude for sweeping in and trying to snatch someone's companion away. |
| Probably Horo will choose Lawrence no matter what , she isn't that weak of a character after all. |
