Indeed obvious would be an under statement.

Wow... The only reason I watch this series is to see Horo.

I thought this arc would be over by now; but now I have to sit through another episode.

I just wish this arc would just finish; it's not very entertaining for me at the moment.

And there I was thinking most people watched Spice and Wolf for the economics.

Whoa, just finished this watching this episode. It's painful watching Horo with Amati... I mean it just really strikes a fatal blow to the heart and emotions when you see how she's totally wounding Lawrence right in the kisser. My heart is aching just watching that, but he's becoming a better man for it. Great episode! Dianna is gorgeous, but Horo has waaaay more charm.

Mark was good, spoke words of the heart. c'mon episode 6!!! I want it NOW!

[Ninjacat]

I don't think she was with Amati, I suspect they just met as they were walking to the marketplace. So Amati is chatting her up and enjoying the hell out of watching Lawrence squirm.

Romance stories are built on that kind of miscomunications.

Eh... I may be a bit heretical, but I'm more susceptible to Deanna's mature and mysterious charm.

One of my favorite quotes in the series, its just so awesome and wise.

I'd watch a "Spice and Wolf: Horo and Lawrence explain the economic downturn special"

For serious.

It all started when traders stopped traveling in horse drawn carts.

...

Though the determining factor was when they stopped risking losing all their teeth and being sent to a mine if they ever went bankrupt.

yeah, I have to say that Deanna is more my type than Horo.

It's an older way of speaking. Not ancient like Shakespearean english, but it is a style you'd expect to hear from your grandmother. Maybe comparable to the style Arthur Conan Doyle used in Sherlock Holmes - very understandable even today but kind of odd.
