Q: Episode 8!? Did I miss something or is it a typo?
A: Episode 7 has been announced as a "dvd-only" episode. Therefore, TV channels are skipping it, and so, we got episode 8 just after episode 6.

More trading comes! And maybe Nora appears?

How nice of them to skip an episode to put on the DVDs...

I would guess ep 7 would have nothing to do with the overall plot?? (would be really bad taste if they purposely left out 1 ep for DVD so that we can fill in the blank)

maybe that episode is just about one of the incidents that happen during their journey.but it should not have anything to do with the overall plot,since they are skipping it

So by 12 episodes does that mean 1-6 + 7-13 or is 7 included in that number? Which would mean light novel 2 is only 5 episodes long...

It's the "Lawrence tries to make a pass at Horo but fails miserably again" episode. :heh:

I don't think so. More like "Horo teases Lawrence to the limit of his self-control and nothing happens". :p

Rumour is that episode 7 is an original episode that has nothing to do with the plot from the novels! So people that buy DVD 4 get something extra! This is not a new scheme used to try to entice people to buy the DVD.

So...let's talk about episode 8?

mustve just aired a few hours ago...

All I have to say about this episode is that envy Lawrence even more...:heh:

Raws are out and available at the usual places. ;)

Damn! I feel just weird to find a Tail sexy! This episode made used of Horo's tail to distract the audience. Wag that tail Baby! The episode is pretty much of the same, with Horo discovering a merchant trying to cheat Lawrence. the rest was about Horo's gluttony, horo convincing Lawrence to buy something for her, More tail wagging and licking, and finally Horo showing a little jealousy when Lawrence is smitten by the beauty of a female shepherd.

Geez, Horo's a genius. A gluttonous one befitting of a wolf, but still...smart.

And Lawrence isn't half bad either.

A calmer episode to give us a rest before something more dangerous happens concerning that "shepherdess" (played by Nakahara Mai, I believe) in the next ep.

More Horo goodness: the tail, the beautiful drunkenness, the clever trickery, the weak gluttony...and Koshimizu Ami's brilliance.

Ami turned 22 last week, and I've put a couple of pics in the voice acting thread: one of a Horo cake the people as Spice and Wolf gave her, and one of her with Sanpei Yuuko and Sakakibara Yui.

Well they did a good enough of of making that shepherdess creep my right the heck out :heh:. You have some angry wolves and the girl isn't taken down, there is something to be concerned about there. Going to be an issue for Horo in more than one way.

Ah that tail is always great :D. Just swishing...back...and forth....:eyespin:

Ok I'm back. Good job spotting the scam by Horo. Plus watching her in the drunken aftermath is way too much fun.

Spoiler for ep8:

Thats one heck of a type :heh:

ep 8? ep 8?? I wonder what's so special about ep 7 that it couldn't air :rolleyes:
