(track 15 is the music played during the celebration feast that opens the episode, titled: 食む. Translates as "Grazing" or "You Graze"). And you're tragically in error with your "nothing to do" assertion. The Crusades were the first to import sounds from the Middle East, the Gypsies also brought in eastern sounds as they migrated about, and the trade routes from Italy through the Slavic&Persian regions to India/China affected music in Southern and Middle Europe. Music has always been affected and influenced by travel and trade. A musician hears something cool or exotic and they incorporate it into their play. I suppose we could ask WHICH medieval music you're thinking since that covers a period from 500AD to 1600AD and ranges from religious chant to polyphony to folk dance and festival music. And what is "fake pseudo-music"???? That doesn't even make sense. The music of S&W isn't actually music written five hundred+ years ago but it is done in the style of various types of music from that era. If you listen to the OST,you'll encounter a variety of music that evokes a wide range of styles from the period.

I think I just died of cuteness! ^__^
I love Horo (that means spring, right?) a heck of a lot. When they draw her in the nude, she manages to look absolutely natural, pure, clean, and innocent, despite her somewhat mischievous personality. I am SO looking forward to S2. |

Ya'll might want to check the character thread on Horo and her name for more information.... it simply isn't true that "nobody can actually say". It isn't *conclusive* but there's a fair amount of evidence being presented.

yeah, I figured it was a "choice of words" or a "nuance" issue. It is just that that phrase is often used to dismiss all clues. We always operate with a film of uncertainty about truth, reality, etc. but you create most-likely-explanations with the data you have.
I do really wish the author would speak up about his name source for ホロ though....

all of u who are afraid that horo will be too moe, just read the 3rd and 4th volume of the novel. I dont think she ll lose anything of her charm^^. But i am rly looking forward to the 2nd season and maaaaany more lawrenceXhoro moments. Besides i think the music was apropriate.

Seems like I get asked that question at least once a month
offtopic: Her name is Tomoko and she's a character from the game (and anime series) called Canvas 2. She's a bit of a gothic lolita fashionista. In the game, she's got a dynamic tiger-ish sort of personality. In the series her personaity is a bit different - she has an observant quiet dryly acidic wit. ontopic: Actually, that is the problem -- people who HAVE read the 3rd and 4th volumes are a bit concerned the anime adaptation will "over-moe" Horo's personality from what actually happens in the novels. The OVA was simply a rendition of a short moment from Horo's point-of-view while her defenses were down from being ill.
