A brilliant show so far. Yes, it's a bit slow, but the pace is steady and doesn't rush or make things sloppy. The relationship between Lawrence and Horo is quite interesting and I can't wait to see just how it developes, despite the rude interruption in episode 4. So far it doesn't disappoint.

The scenes in episode 2 where he has to introduce her as his wife struck me as awfully funny for some insane reason....she's supposed to look no more than 15 so I wonder if girls normally marry very young in medieval europe, if the setting is Europe at all. The scene where she comments on Lawrence's "whiskers" was funny as well.

Episode 4 showed a different side to Horo though.....
Spoiler:
.....how she fears being left all alone. When Lawrence mentions settling down to open his shop and stop travelling, Horo is immediately worried that she'll be abandoned, despite Lawrence's reassurances that he will finish his journey to the North with her first.


Definitely a must-see show.



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Exclamation

Yeah, episode 8 follows right after 6 so I guess the DVD only episode 7 is something else entirely....



Which fansub group is everyone else watching for this series? I'm following Ayako and have come to greatly appreciate the little tidbits that come at the end of each episode of their releases.


an example:




This really helps out when trying to understand the background of the story or even some the terms used or related to the merchant profession.



Anyway, excellent story so far, things really don't look good for Lawrence now....after episode 10, I'm feeling a little anxious to see what comes next. I never knew real-world politics and economics could be used so effectively and interestingly in an anime series.

As for Lawrence's fate as described in Spice & Wolf for Dummies......
Spoiler:
......the second paragraph.....



Now that's fucking harsh!!!




Can't wait for the next episode......

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Godamnnit! I still haven't finished this. Waiting for Ayako who were doing such a great job but suddenly disappeared for like forever. They only just released episode 11 yesterday....


Crappy, crappy, crappy!!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hey, hey. Just wondering, what is this OVA for Spice & Wolf I keep seeing everywhere? I guess there'll be a second season for the series so what exactly is this OVA? Does it continue the plot or is it just a re-hash of the first season?
