Well he is quite worried about how things will turn out, after all he's practising an illegal act, with many risks involved, and that may end in a horrible fate for everyone he knows. Horo even told him to lighten up twice, last episode and on this one. He's got a lot on his mind, so that's why he's isn't acting quite like his normal self.

....Again, that was quite a blow to his feelings, so although he was deeply wishing for her to stay alive, he couldn't just blurt out that he afraid she'd get killed or she'd feel a lot more uncomfortable, raising the risk even more. He probably made a quick decision to keep her resolution strong by supporting her with a confident "you're going to make it, and everything will end okay" face.


Good explanation. Yes....I think I can live with that, although his facial expression is more "bored" than "supporting" or even "tense", from my point of view.

Sakinho said:

While he was running away, he even faltered for a second, slowing down, maybe thinking "did I do the right thing? What if she needs me, but I'm not there to support here? Could I have just made the biggest mistake in my life?". He managed to shake it off, but continued with a very uneasy feeling.


I noticed that too. But at that moment it felt like "TOO LATE Lawrence".

Sakinho said:

PS: Don't worry about the kiss, we've got episode 13 for that *-*

< Crossing every available finger and toe, in the third, fourth AND fifth dimension XD



I know the subs of the last episode are already out. But I really cant watch it right now. ;)

I will just stay here in this comfortable "episode 12" thread and dream of my perfekt ending for the show. ^^

like Horo said, Lawrence is a softy. You cant trust your debt collectors.

Great episode, i hope they didnt do anything to Norah.

I am disapointed with this. It started out pretty well but i guess 13 eps is just too short to go through more than one arc, and so the plot fails to be interesting. It just end out to be another "special girl meet random clumsy guy" =/.
However the art is good, the music excellent, the world-setting charming. Guess i just had my hopes too high. ^^

Yeah i keep thinking that the step from manga to anime is not so natural, and often feels somewhat unpersonnal, comparatively to stories made for the animation media from the begining.

I'm just about dying with anticipation. The last few minutes with Lawrence really got to me.
Seriously, I had just started to like him as the mellow, kind person he is - you know, started to really appreciat his smile and calm attitude.
Suddenly he is driven into a corner, his companions are all facing death, and he answers with lashing out at his enemy even though he's at a huge disadvantage.
Wow. This character just hit the top five, cliché or not.

There was a lot of great action in this episode. I hate how Lawrence keeps getting betrayed, though. He leaves himself too open for it. I had better see Horo and Lawrence develop some kind of romantic relationship in the last episode! Plus, I hope there is a 2nd season. I would love to see more Horo!

ahhhh, this anime is just too awesome.
now, anime like this really make me glad i started watching anime in the first place.
horo was really cute. and scary
her look to the first wolf was scary.
noora was also pretty cute.
and horo stayed with the wolfs... umm... poor wolfs xD
and poor lawrance for getting betrayed... his luck really got bad ever since he got blessed by noora =/
but noora is too cute to be able to curse, so... yeah... lawrance's got bad luck.
one more episode :(
i want a second season.

Poor Lawrence, he was betrayed once again... I'm learning to like this guy xD The ending was so sad...
Horo was fantastic, as usual! I really like her :D

Loved the scene in the forest!! This ep. was so intense!
Too bad there's only one ep. left ;_;

Those motherfucking backstabbers. This is why I hate business people.

Hope Horo wins the fight. Poor sheperd, she accepted the job just to get killed. Poor Lawrence aswell. Sucks to be betrayed, doesn't it?

Looking forward to the final episode.
Definately 5/5 for me.

Well, more betrayal. It never gets old.

I wonder if that wolf is able to take human form like Holo. I wonder how she is going to get out of it.

I thought that they were going to kiss, so close too! Only one episode left this season, they better do it!

Horo was so awesome in this episode~

Okay, though, my initial reaction to the end of the episode? WHAT. THE. HECK. Lawrence seems to consistently get the short end of the stick for everything. Makes him even more admirable for keeping a positive attitude for so long. Kind of nice to see him "lose it" a bit near the end, when his hands were already bound... Just reminds us he's not perfect. :D

I don't get how the dudes (don't know how else to describe the bad guys) can go take out Nora?! Isn't she the key to smuggling the gold in, since she's the only one who knows how to herd sheep? This stupid little "insurance" betrayal plan seems very poorly thought out to me. So annoying that Lawrence and co. are suffering because of it. But it'll make the ending so much more satisfying if it's more uplifting, I suppose. (And an open ending can definitely be a happy one. :D Can't wait to watch the second season as well.)

Not if they do it when she leaves / is close to leaving the forest. I mean, smuggling the gold is a one-time-business for them. Not Lawrence nor Lemerio Trading would do it if they weren't in a pinch. So it's ok for them to do it to get all the profit for themselves + get rid of anyone that can betray them. (Of course when I say "ok", I don't mean morally correct.)

Anyway, it was yet another great episode. I'm love this show. I really felt bad for Lawrence at the end of the episode. Especially when he let those tears out...

P.S.: Holo is awesome indeed.

And still, what has occurred between Horo and a huge wolf in forest? I haven't understood dialogue between Horo and Lawrence in the ep. 13
Why Horo it was necessary to a huge wolf?

Could it be even more implied? To avoid a violent and possibly very bloody outcome, Horo gave herself to the males.

Yeah, that episode gave me everything I've missed until now in this anime. The words of Holo... I've finally understood what's so great about Spice and Wolf.... I just feel bad about having just one episode left, how's it possible to end in a right way... I hope for an open ending.

Rule #1 for participating in an illegal operation: always make sure you haven't outlived your usefulness. Once Lawrence sealed the deal between Nora and Remelio, he had no value and his life was liable.
