It... will.. be.. out... when they release it. It may take longer than average, it may be faster than average. With only 3 eps to go by, its hard to call anything an "average" yet. Fansub==hobby, not a job, eh?

Another great episode, but what a change of pace!
As a side note, I noticed that Lawrence promised Horo a new set of clothes. I guess this is where her style in the OP comes from. I hope the old ones don't become blood-stained PS I didn't pick up exactly what was the *actual* money making scheme being used with the currency reducing in value. |

I've seen a few indications, reviews, and analyses that many of the sub groups are "not quite getting it right" in terms of Horo's dialog and speech patterns. We've established she uses a dialect remindful of an "18th C. Edo courtesan (pleasure girl)" ... but translating that into subtitles that give the viewer that feeling is quite tough. Something elegant but erotic is needed ... now which *words* would one use to convey that? Much sympathies for the translators, editors, and QC people in the various subgroups trying to capture that.

Another enjoyable episode. Horo's sadness. The intensity in the circumstances: capture, no-one really on their side, betrayal by the people she had supported for hundreds of years, possible death and resurrection, wolf growl.
I have some respect and sympathy for Lawrence. He thinks pretty quickly, and he is actually in love with Horo -- why else would he (appear to?) give up his dream so easily. And I enjoyed seeing them in bed together, and the way he gritted his teeth in momentary self-restraint and then embraced her. Of course the thing that is really special about this show is Koshimizu Ami. Once again, she just takes over when she starts to speak. And especially when she cries. I know of no seiyuu who cries better.

Sometimes in linguistics, just because something *sounds* like a word in another language - doesn't mean anything. And in contradiction to romaji spelling rules, one of the Mediaworks image designers spelled it "Holo" and there's an ongoing Wiki dispute about whether its "Horo" or "Holo" (even though, again, "lo" isn't one of the romaji choices) I'm betting the author used the Ainu word (Ainu being subversively cool and a bit anti-establishment to the Official Reality in Japan ). edit: Here's an interesting bit I found --- Quote:
These two Ainu legends may also be of interest: http://www.sacred-texts.com/shi/safl/safl10.htm (THE LEGEND OF HOW THE YOUNGER SISTER OF THE WOLF-GOD WAS GIVEN TO ME (to wife.)) http://www.sacred-texts.com/shi/safl/safl08.htm (THE LEGEND OF THE LADY OF KUNNEPET. A LEGEND OF LOVE AND WAR.)

Ok I've been slowly working my way through the generic thread (I usually always do this even after a fourm is made or exist, its fun read^^) After reading through pages 40-44 I'm now kinda confused to something... where are we anime --> novel wise? I thought I read we were at volume 4 but from what I read..
Spoiler for Semi hint to future eps:
Can some clarify this cause if we are still in 1 then things set up nice for more seasons^^ Spoiler for Season potential:
Any thoughts^^

Ya I think that be the most excepted ending for season 1 (lol) It sets up their relationship but leaves room for more to come^^
Still a little confused still about novel but I get the gists, thanks^^ I'll poke around when I get home from work.
