Hehe, just saw that.

Spoiler for Ep12:

HayashiTakara · 2008-03-20, 00:25

*sigh... it ended way too soon... I hate cliff hangers >_<

Masanori Ota · 2008-03-20, 00:59

Still another episode to go.

Vexx · 2008-03-20, 01:11

Aye... another victim of episode miscount. The series has one more episode to go after this one.

The "missing" episode (which the producers label episode 7) will appear on DVD -- probably a short story either from volume 7 of the novels or an anime-only piece.

Half... downloaded (torrents are running extra slow tonight for me).

Xacual · 2008-03-20, 01:24

Yeah it ran kind of slow for me as well.

What I don't get is how Lawerence is so naive when comes to trusting the his the people he trades with.

The two times you see Lawerence gets in a mess, is when he gave away his product (infomation regarding the currency and infomation regarding how to smuggle gold) before he actually gained any profit. First time he succeed by some persuasion, and perhaps that company was just being nice (in the end it worked out thanks to Horo), and this time he's got stabbed again in the back.

Perhaps being greedy just doesn't suit him...he seems to be doing better when he was doing fair trades with them wheat and fur

FlareKnight · 2008-03-20, 01:53

Personally enjoyed the IRC route on grabbing the episode.

Spoiler for Ep12:

BigGimp77 · 2008-03-20, 01:54

Another great episode, can't believe there is only one more left.

I have to think somehow Lawrence and Horo are going to end up with that gold all to themselves now that they were betrayed.

I like the title for the next episode "A Wolf and Setting Off on a New Journey." Maybe hinting at a second season at some point? If they end the episode with Horo and Lawrence riding off on a new adventure, I would hope they would continue the series. **Crosses fingers**

feRfe · 2008-03-20, 01:57

@rias yeah lawrence hasn't really done any impressive things as a merchant as shown so far... it's all just horo helping him out.

i love this story and especially this arc though.. makes me wish i had the vocabulary to read its light novel tt

HayashiTakara · 2008-03-20, 01:58

If its only 2 episodes left... I don't see how it can be concluded by then.... >_>...

Souten no Seigyoku · 2008-03-20, 02:15

Going by what Ive seen so far, it seems the wolf god amoung them is young and theyre not after the sheep, but Horo herself. Possibly looking for a fight for status (i.e. I was the wolf that beat the great Kenrou Horo).

That's one mother of a cliffhanger... D:

Vexx · 2008-03-20, 03:41

I keep seeing hints that this is one of the most popular anime in Japan right now (biggest buzz, etc). If so, then a second season is quite likely. (apparently wolf-girls are more popular than nekomimi at cosplay cafes at the moment).

Problem is, I got no numbers or stats so I've no idea whether I'm just hearing noise or signal. Ah well.. we'll know when we know....

i certainly hope so as well.. i just hope the next episode titled

' wolf and new journey ' can be translated as ' look forward to another season ' and not ' lame look into the future ending '

.. or something in the middle if that happens lol.. i do feel that there will be another season though.. i know the light novels are pretty popular, and if it is one of the more popular anime i dont really see any reason why they wont.. having said that, ive never gotten anything by keeping my hopes up, so well just have to wait it out..

noob3d · 2008-03-20, 06:06

Hmm might just be my flu but I couldn't get hyped up about this episode XD. Everything in the episode screams greatness amd my mouth was saying it too.As for spice and wolf's popularity in japan..I'm not sure.I have checked it out on niconico and while the video discussion was hot I don't see any sign of it being most popular yet.As for fox girls being all the rage that may be true since I'll certainly be blogging about the delicious new fox girls due out next month ^^

FlareKnight · 2008-03-20, 06:57

Well do hope the series is doing well out in Japan. Anything to get to a second season is a good thing I say. Just have to hope it's been well received and gets that continuation.

Anyways, should be a good final episode to come. Horo will get to show the youngsters their place and we'll deal with the company's betrayal.

Tri-ring · 2008-03-20, 07:30

Don't be too optimistic, after all this anime is on air at 1:30AM on a UHF channel.

FlareKnight User of the "Fast Draw" Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Canada	Spoiler for Ep12: Gotta feel for Horo. Youngsters these days just show no respect. They should have just counted their blessing someone of Horo's caliber was just passing through and let it be that. But that guy has to go and pick a fight with her. Well there goes another set of clothing . At least this time she is saving the cloak. __________________ Anime-Evo

Xacual Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2008	Yeah it ran kind of slow for me as well. Spoiler: Wow I love Horo talking to the "youngsters" or when she commanded that regular wolf. I always enjoy it when her wolf side comes out, she just seems so much different. Sadly only one more episode to go, it should be good though with the cliffhanger in this one. __________________ I was influenced by a certain group overflowing with madness and started trying to write a story.

FlareKnight User of the "Fast Draw" Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Canada	Personally enjoyed the IRC route on grabbing the episode. Spoiler for Ep12: Well Lawrence really didn't have a choice on this one. He needed them to postphone the debt collection or else he wouldn't have a chance either way. Was a chance he'd get stabbed in the back, but there weren't many options open to him at the moment. Not sure how he's going to solve everything. Will just showing up at the company and saying a speech get it to all work out? First thing seems like they are going to try and take Nora out before reaching the city. Which seems weird since didn't they use her since she could get into the city without all the hustle? Her going out and some guys from a company burning in flames showing up at the city gates doesn't sound very intelligent. __________________ Anime-Evo

arkxkra 全力全開 Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Non-management 97th world	Spoiler for : good episode. Horo said "Youngsters these days just show no respect", but it quite big as well o.O'. Beside Horo, I never thought still have such a big size wolf exist. Should be a easy fight for Horo, since she is wolf god.. I hope Nora will be safe also, since those people want to kill them all. next episode is the last, so fast to finish . __________________ \| Anime Series' Window XP/7 Theme \|
