Spice and Wolf

[TheBladeChild]

Seconded. Damn convert.

She's a close second though.

I dont know about second, to early to tell for me. Right now Horo is contesting Haruhi for my number 2 fav spot.

[Yukimura]

I can see where Lucifus is coming from, Horo so far has been more appealing than any female character I've come across since C.C. I still put C.C. at the top but the difference between her and Horo on my scale is much smaller than the difference between Horo and the next person down. I mean..."Tail Feel So Good" who else can compete with that?

Anyway, while everyone thinks it's Chloe I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the blond from the OP. I have absolutely no reason to think this other than she hasn't been seen yet and we're a third of the way through the show. However if it is her then we'll need an explanation of why Horo recognized her. Also from the way she looks in the OP the blond seems to be a regular working woman, and would more likely be involved in some sort of escape and hiding operation Lawrence might concoct then be part of a company/church sanctioned kidnapping operation. In fact it seems much more likely that Chloe is the person in the hood and the blond will be involved in the rescue...but I'm stubborn so I'll stick to my original random idea that doesn't make sense.

or maybe its the boy she made a contract with? i don't know when she did it (maybe it was century ago) but if it was just some decades then probably its her old companion? i mean who else could know that she is a wolf?

(i mean the boy she was talking about in this episode)

By the way who is the next person on your list after Horo?

I have a feeling the ED karaoke's going to look slightly different in the next episode release...

I really need an uber quiet pc on 24/7 I can control from a web interface... so that I can start my prefered downloads as I wish.
I'm so sad thinking I'll have to wait 10 minutes to watch this when I get home...

Thanks mate

[animus]

Really liked the part when Horo's blushing and her ears are down during 15:13.

[Kraco]

It's sometimes kind of hard to follow Horo's moods and what's going on inside her head. But I suppose that's one factor of her cuteness, like she says herself.

[shinta|hikari]

While I loved the episode as usual, I would have preferred one scene to have played out differently, particularly because of this:

The japanese text there translates as:
"Im glad you are safe."
"Well, as long as you keep my "mugi" (wheat, whatever, forgot how they translated it) I won't die."

Yep, its the scene in the carriage. I cant believe I missed out on this scene. Why did they have to change it?

[David75]

Now that I'm home, I think I'll wait for the HD ayako sub. I even erased previous BSS ones to replace them with ayako HD ones...
I only started Code Geass, so I can wait a little more for that W&S ep.

the BSS tracker is down so instead here are the Direct download links for episode 5.

Well, this episode just made my day. It's funny watching Horo playing with Lawrence's feelings. Secretly she likes him more or less, but she plays it down all the time, which makes this all the more interesting. I always thought the guy from the OP with glasses was going to be a bad guy. Maybe he is, but he's on their side for now. And the church's efficiency at doing such a search so soon after the escape...think twice before you insult the Pope next time. In Horo's words, something might just fall off.....

Preview of next ep looks like Horo's trying to ditch Lawrence to keep him safe. Now, to start the one week countdown...

The tailful day is here:

Edit: A jolly good episode. The somewhat vague silver coin trade was still there in the background, as well as other shady business, but the real thriller naturally was whether Horo really would leave Lawrence behind or not.

The only thing that bothered me was that after all that happened Lawrence is still afraid of Horo in her wolf form. Maybe it's realistic, considering these are people of the past and as such should be narrow-minded, but nevertheless he has spent so much time with her and even seen that form before. You would think he would trust her a bit more and overcome any initial shock he might have.

Well, anyway, apples always win in the end.

[Death13a]

That was awesome episode.

Lawrence was understandably afraid as he seen only her hand/paw fully transformed before, he had blood lose, she transformed top of him and he is not very fond of most wolfs as seen in his flashback in past episode. I liked how Horo scattered those guys around sewer. And Lawrence doesn't lose his touch as he exchanges his share of profit to pepper(spice) to make more profit.

[Buffalobiian]

And I thought Spice and Wolf couldn't get better...that Silent Farewell in the title sure made me sit on the edge of my seat this episode. They pulled of the happy ending type thing without feeling cheezy at all. I guess Lawrence being afraid of Horo's wolf form is realistic, but I can't help feeling how hurt Horo would be. She knew he'd freak out, that's why she told him not to look, but deep down, she's always wanted someone to accept her in that form. I'm guessing that's never happened before, hence her saying before: "No human male is fit to be my partner."

Can't wait till next episode. Horo looks a bit drunk.

Wolf is not really a predator to human beings, however there can be some hunts where some humans are preys. Horo mentionned it, Lawrence caught the thing.
It also seems that Lawrence was once the prey, and probably felt every feelings of fear and anything related when he was hunted by a group of wolves.
We also are in middle-age like times, wolves really are a though ennemy towards unprepared human beings.
I guess all of these reasons explain why he is so afraid, he may even have a real phobia rooted in thos past experiences...

No prey would be at ease next to a natural predator...

[KrayZ33]

this episode was awesome!

and lawrence wasn't "that" scared... its just natural if you see a monster, which is like 8-9 times larger than you, to feel fear...

when he recognized that horo is "horo" he started to feel more confident and knew that that big wolf won't hurt him... i believe that he thought at first that when horo gets into her wolf-form, she is unable to identify friend or foe

Question: But wait... what happened to episode 7?
Answer: Episode 7 has been announced as a DVD only episode, so TV channels are listing the newest episode as episode 8.

[Board of Command]

That's kinda odd. Oh well. As long as it doesn't disrupt the continuity of the story.
