Lawerence's face at the end is more of someone who is seeing a familiar face over again, rather than a "zOmG, I must have her!" kinda face... but thats probably just me. But can't wait to see a Jealous Horo, she's been constantly going off about how Lawerence gets, its about time she gets a taste of that medicine, lol. XP

Horo is going to eat her words about "There’s no fit partner for me amongst human males" Who here thinks that the Nora girl will be more evil than Chloe? (Aka charm Lawrence into Nora's faithful servant then use him against Horo?) Last edited by Flo; 2008-02-23 at 06:18. |

Another really good episode. Poor Lawrence just gets sucked in with the Horo cuteness and can't say no... Poor guy. He's never gonna get that shop of his
I really hope they do another season and cover the other novels. Is there any chance of a season 2? Does any one know how good the show is doing in Japan? |

Fox girls are almost like real women as depicted in this episode.A few seducing words and poof, Lawrence's resolve dissolves into nothing.It was entertaining to see Lawrence get so worked up over Horo teasing him like that.Anyway,good episode as always 10/10.
Spoiler for Thoughts for next episode:

shepards and wolves don't share a good relationship usually
This is going to end in trouble if Lawrence falls for beauty again...poor horo ;__; I don't think that the new girl will be evil though...she may be just doing her job as a shepard

hmm.....what a great episode, basically its a short sociological lesson of the role women have in that world.
one, that even if your smart and tough and do work that traditionally held by men, you are expected to do poorly until a "real" man replace you. however, if you are able to cope or even do better, then you risk been branded as a witch and have yourself persecuted. not good. however, Horo the wise, shows us the power females can still use (additional to the ones above) if she is discreet. poor lawrence, the cunning and sly work of feminine smarts bends the poor boy to her will. thus the lesson of this episode: Beware of the fairer sex! if she doesn't beat you outright, she'll get you when your not looking....

Watching the episode again and understanding the dialogue helped and hurt my opinion of the episode. The banter between Horo and Lawrence was as delightful as ever. However, Horo's spendthrift attitude to their finances irked me. Sure, she helps Lawrence earn more money than he otherwise would duing his transactions. But she spends at a rate faster than he can earn even with her assistance. In the end, the positive of their banter outweighed the negative her personality trait for me. Unfortunately nothing overcame the bad character designs in the bedroom scene which annoyed me every time I watched the episode. *sigh* Ended up giving the episode a 6, average at best.

Wow, this episode REALLY grabbed my attention. I had no idea the episode was already over when it turned over to the ending =/.

I don't really think of the pace as "slow", more of maximization. Sort of the quality over quantity thing. |

Its all I can do not to think "attention deficit" when I hear the label "slow" applied by someone to something texturally rich like the relationship evolution between these two characters.
As far as the "missing" ep 7, its assumed it'll be some kind of "on the road" light comedy thing - perhaps drawing from one of the short stories in the latest light novel release. I think its only natural that Horo treat money as simply a means to an apple... or (drool) honey-dipped pears... or (smack) peaches.

Personal preference...
I suppose I'm just used to the more drama intense romances with multiple women in the mix like Clannad or Kimikiss.

Sorry, I wasn't referring to you ... argh, apologies. I was really referring to some posters who'd said the show was "boring"/slow. Most of the time when people use the word "slow" in these threads --- they really mean it is boring to them (rather than slow-paced in its true sense). Again, my bad -- wasn't pointing at you at all. I gotta stop reading the posts in other forums - it colors my views of the "average forum poster".
