Just managed to catch the subbed version of episode 5. Hmm. My initial response is lukewarm, due to a variety of factors. The animation quality seemed poorer than usual. The background music was a tad jarring in a few scenes. Horo was more irritating than she was endearing.

But mostly, I felt that the whole situation seemed a bit too contrived, too convenient. It never felt as though Horo's rescue was ever in doubt, so I didn't feel any dramatic tension throughout the episode.

I guessed right about Chloe, and also about the Count's involvement in the plot. If I were to guess further, I'd say that the Church is backing Medioh as well, most probably to destablise the King of Thoreni.

Now that Lawrence and Horo are on the run, I guess it's back to travelling again. Well, events might become more interesting next week. "Silent farewell" eh? Seems to imply that Horo is forced to go a separate way. Time will tell.
