I just think its hilariously tragic when people will sit and happily watch science fiction full of beings bopping each other across the galaxy or read mythology without a quiver --- yet go into a spastic anti-bestial frenzy when one of the sentient creatures has ears and a tail in an anime. No, I don't think the poster I was correcting was doing that - but he was saying the sorts of things that *lead* to twits showing up and making fools of themselves.

Protip: If you're going to call me a "furry", it's probably best not to post comments like "I’d put my seeds in her if you know what I mean…." on a well known anime blog using a psudonym you've told me already. One guy in my anime club made that mistake. Quote:

Lawrence makes the story one of the best I have witnessed in many years. Horo would still earn it that position, but Lawrence propels it into the stratosphere. He is a delightfully subtle and carefully "crafted" character, the kind you rarely see in modern fiction.
He is painfuly aware of his flaws and works hard with what he's given to transcend them. He has somehow gotten this far and become this good without losing his fundamentally good and compassionate nature (which is very easy to overlook because he's SUPPOSED to be a tough and heartless merchant). Actions speak louder than words, but in his case they are his only means of non-business communication (he has no verbal skills whatsoever outside of business). Horo does not really seem to catch that, and Lawrence misses her cues. But the story somehow rises above this fundamental and obvious conflict. If anything I think Horo is the deciding factor on where their relationship goes, and he seems to know that. He has already given Horo all the evidence she needs to know his heart, so let's hope her wisdom overcomes her pride Last edited by BashZeStampeedo; 2009-08-23 at 20:51. |

What it really comes down to is that Horo and Lawrence are two individuals seeking comfort in each other's company. The wazy I see it is both Horo and Lawrence are trying not to think about how special these feelings they have for each other. Horo probably has it worse due to the simple foreboding fact that she will outlive Lawrence.

Lawrence is a bit different in the novels
Alright, I've read the first volume of the fan-translated light novels now, and Lawrence seems a fair bit tougher and more perceptive than he appears in the anime. He's feels more like a hardened 25-year-old traveling merchant than he does in the anime.
Spoiler:
Cumulatively, the sorts of things I outline in the spoiler make Lawrence's character a touch less sympathetic and likable to me (he's seems more idiotic and shallow than he's supposed to be). Overall, however, I'd say that the anime is doing a respectable job with his character. I wonder how things feel after volume 2 |

I've gotta agree with Bash. After two seasons, Lawrence is one of the few male leads in an anime that is able to convince me he's a real dude. He's very flawed, but he grows, learns his lessons, and makes up for his mistakes. A principled guy to the end, and clearly the kind of guy that people want to be friends with. Also, he's a lot more perceptive than people give him credit for.
Despite how people love to dump on Lawrence, I think he's been doing everything correctly so far (in terms of Horo). I've thoroughly enjoyed watching Lawrence figure out whether Horo is really worth all the aggravation. It seems like he took his time to fall in love with her, but quite frankly it's only been a few months since they met. Horo has almost complete control over him, after all. If she really just wanted sex, she could have it. Heck, if she wanted to leave she could have, but she asked him to be selfish and in the last episode she got rickrolled. |

It certainly in'tmind bogling as Cthulhu. And Horo/Holo could be a Celtic Morrigan (one of the many spellings) which was an angelic animal.

Lawrence is easily one of my favourite male animé characters.
He's young, but mature. He isn't afraid to admit mistakes when he makes them, and even if he gets himself in an tough spot, he's level headed, and manages to find a way out of it. This is kind of Offtopic, but if anyone have an spare Lawrence avatar (i'd prefer one where he smiles if possible) can you please be so kind and post it? |
