Spice and Wolf II - Episode 7 Discussion / Poll

[AKnightWhoSaysNi!]

Now that was a great episode!

Too bad vol 4 got skipped, there were good bits in there. But this is certainly epic! Finally a point for Lawrence on the stairs! You can tell this volume is gonna be good.

[Bombo]

loooool horo's tail cheap and how horo staring to him with her angry eyes LOOOOOL i love that scene :P

[GuidoHunter_Toki]

All the flirty dialogue had me smiling all episode. It kind of felt like a filler episode for some reason, however I enjoyed the episode. Only complaint was that some of the conversations caused me to lose a bit of interest, but not to the point that I lost interest in watching. So far probably one of my least favorite season 2 episodes yet still a fun watch.

[Mr. Anime]

damn it, this episode was over in a flash.
i loved this one, finally some lawrence horo moments^^, but u can feel that volume 4 was skipped. nevertheless probably my favorite episode. i wished i could read this part in the novel because i wanna know what they think. for instance after lawrence wakes up and hesitates to pet horo...

judgement26 i ll w8 for u to finish reading volume 5 ^^

does some1 know what horo meant when she said something about the magical spell? when did lawrence "cast" it for the first time?

nobody ever said the word "fool" cuter than horo did at 16min 15sec, at this rate lawrence wont be able to hold himself back much longer^^

[gonzo562]

the plot didnt advance alot but this episode was still enjoyable.

I love watching horo and lawrence interact :>

Joking that she had Lawrence under her "spell" and when she clapped she "released it", Lawrence plays along and pretends hes suddenly free, back to go make money. The other way around, Horo mentions Lawrence must have put a "spell" on her as if to charm her and keep her with him. So he "renews it" for her! Pretty fun banter actually. Awesome how it actually got to Horo too.

I never get over seeing Lawrence blush, it's so weird.

By the way, was some of the dialogue really confusing in this episode or were the Mazui subs just off?

[Voitan]

Loved every bit of this episode.

[SwiftStrike]

volume 5 for sure eh...so if this ends in 6 eps, then ep 13 is something else?

didn't even think for a second that'd be a woman lol

[ATiWolF]

As Many Have Noted, The Interaction Here is lovely. I Think It More Than Compensates For Horo Deficiency We've All Been Suffering.

The conversations are a bit awkward at times but not as much as Laurence's blushing.

From What I've Seen In This Episode. Volume 4 Might Still Be Viable...Just Not In its original immediate-post-Kumerson form.

^This. I'm confused as well.

Spoiler for Mazui Subs Dialog:

H: "So when are you going to start running amok?"
L: "I wonder. Maybe when you stop doing things like this?"
H: "You've developed quite a sharp wit."
L: "Haven't I?"
H: "You really have become quite the smooth talker. Did you get someone to teach you?"
L: "No. It just came to me at the moment."
H: "At the moment? That makes me even happier." "When I stop doing things, you said?"
*Lawrence surprised*

Is there something lost in translation here? I'm not getting it.

[Somnus]

I loved that episode...must get an avatar made from it. Although I'm surprised to find out they skipped a volume? Guess I'll go read it then!

[zzeroparticle]

A little too much of Lawrence blushing, though you can't fault him for it since the cat's pretty much out of the bag from last episode. While this one did move at a rather slow pace, it was the interactions between the two that made it really fun to watch. Horo never ceases to impress and Lawrence is doing well in competing with her in the wit department.

[brain]

I for one am ecstatic that the series has remembered that it is a romance! It was dissatisfying having so few joyful interactions prior to this in the season, and here you finally see portrayed their normal love for each other. Not some overt quest that is made to "prove" something, but simple, sweet interaction.

it is not "run amok", but instead it's "flustered/panic" I think.
and Lawrence said "When horo stop doing things(tease Lawrence) he ll start flustered" -> or in other words that d also mean he say something like "he wants Horo to be always care for him/tease him, or else he ll get panic"
and when Lawrence realized he had said such embarassing things he flustered ^^

[Mr. Anime]

at least i understood the conversation on the stairs (after watching it 5times in a row^^)
what about the audience at the age around 15? it should be hard for them, but i wouldnt want it any other way

Can't believe they thought they could skip

Spoiler for vol4:

Horo's epic nomnomnomnom at the end! UNACCEPTABLE!

[BashZeStampeedo]

he wants Horo to be always care for him/tease him, or else he ll get panic

Ha! Soon, Horo won't have to tease him at all.. he will do it to himself for her!
