| I. Want. Next. Episode. Nao. Rawr. |
| Need moar... episodes... It's a heartbreak to see that... |
 |
| uh ohz a rebellion |
| I have my fingers crossed so that they don't give us blue balls at the end of the season and resolve the "end of journey" dilemma by next episode. The tension between Horo and Lawrence is pretty blatant at this point though. It makes the scenes between them seem so empty. I hope they can confess how they both really feel about the situation(especially Lawrence) for the finale. |
vinesage said: next episode going to be final for this season and, if I remember it right, its going to be the first time we see Horo crying ... I have been anticipatig that scene since the season started, I can't waait. Argh. |
| Better episode than the few previous ones. Loved the bit in the room with Holo and Lawrence, especially the bit with the tail, and with Lawrence's melodramatics. Probably safe to assume that what was in the statue was high quality salt, and that Abe somehow planned to get the statues back and sell twice, or something like that. |
| Well in my opinion with only 1 episode left they can`t possibly wrap up this show which means that there will more than likely be a third season ! Which means more Horo which also means great success ~~ |
     |
| A rebellion didn't see that coming. Love the twist tho. |

Nitre said: Better episode than the few previous ones. Loved the bit in the room with Holo and Lawrence, especially the bit with the tail, and with Lawrence's melodramatics. It was definitely the best episode of the whole arc, and I didn't expect a rebellion to happen at the end. Of course, it changes all the plans that have been made by Abe/Lawrence/Holo and leaves us with an unpredictable last episode. Tha animation was still a bit weak though. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| i'm afraid whether there will be a cliffhanger in next episode. |
| ova will solve all problems |
| Loved embarrassed Horo and how cute she looked when Lawrence touched her tail :D Looks like she having second thoughts about their relationship but hopefully she's just a bit melodramatic and is trying to get some real emotions out of Lawrance. Any way, a rebellion? Interesting twist, very curious as of how things will play out now. So exited for the next final season episode xD |

| i was wondering what was going to happen but that? also she seems to have wanted to stop journeying together but that isn't going to happen. shes tired of being alone really...and she likes lawrence. after all they have been through they both wont end it that easily. haha maybe lawrence dies....or he gives up his dream to stay with her....hmm which one. |
kisami said: haha maybe lawrence dies....or he gives up his dream to stay with her....hmm which one. Would have been a great surprise ending (which won't happen). Btw.. Lawrence should just bone Horo.. and get this beating around the bush over with.. Spending long hours couped up in a hotel room, with burning desires on both sides.. It's a miracle nothing happens at all.. |
| I'm doing as usual, watching the episode while I'm writing. First of all, I don't like the guy whatever-his-name, the one with whom they're dealing with >.> And I dunno about the most part of the episode really, but at least during the scene at the inn, quite in the beginning, the animation quality got a huge improvement when Horo was waggin her tail : p That's what I think anyway . And it seems... as if they're gonna end this series after the last episode of this season ;_; Don't Do It! I want another season.. and another one, and probably even a bunch of 'em.. Can keep watching this for a really long time ;_; O.O Rebellion! Things seem to have gone bat-shit crazy weee~ They can't end it with only one more episode now, right? Edit: LagTag said: Hope you're right! : DWell in my opinion with only 1 episode left they can`t possibly wrap up this show which means that there will more than likely be a third season ! Which means more Horo which also means great success ~~ |

| Ofcourse this second season won't cover everthing, because there are still plenty of novels left of Spice and Wolf! Anyhow, nice episode. Someone slap Lawrence, please. That idiot. The rebellion might even be the cause of Abe, because Lawrence discovered something while tasting that of the little statue: most likely, salt. I also think the other reason that Horo wants to leave is because of the plans of turning the city into a archbishop-region. That would mean lots of trouble for our lovely wolf-heroine, knowing the Church... Only one episode left... ~Sigh. |

| Wow....didn't expect something as big as a rebellion to happen. This really makes the next episode unpredictable (well for me anyways). Hope things go well....don't want anything too sad. |
| Should have seen this coming. Though a rebellion is quite a nice surprise. I was just wow everything was so peaceful then boom banging on the door. I agree I think the statue's are made out of salt. Why else would he be tasting it and then give a surprised expression? A somewhat slow - though good - episode, with a really big ending. This show sure likes cliff hangers huh? |
   |
| always suspected those statues were salt. oh noes rebels. |
| The people in town are actually rebelling against Brains Base for 2 reasons: 1. Not having enough screen time (lulz) 2. And demanding a third season so that hopefully they get some screen time during season three but on a serious note... not sure how the last episode will play out , this rebellion was not suprising for some but I guess suprising for me! |
BashZeStampeedo said: Wow, all of Lawrence's nightmares must have come true in this episode. He's just about to lose everything. His money, his companion, and possibly his life. The guy really is a walking disaster magnet. It was nice to see that he really is a top merchant to the end (he really owned Abe). It is also sad that he was right to not get too intimate with Horo, because it seems predestined that she would leave him (based on her explanations and the fact that he cannot change his nature). This spares them a lot of heartache. I'm now essentially certain that he'll openly admit he's in love with Horo, and she will realize just how selfish she's really been. That tail scene truly was cute. I wonder what was running through his mind (if anything)? It's seemed from her response that she is actually afraid of getting intimate with him (explains why she gets drunk all the time) :) He hasn't actually lost anything yet. Holo wasn't turned over to that merchant, no money was transfered to anyone, ownership of the inn was not transfered..etc. In fact the rebellion is kind of in his favor (assuming he wants to keep Holo by his side). I think the real problem is him getting his horse and trailer back with hundreds of pissed off towns people running around. Since it's the last episode they're gonna leave us with a big cliff hanger. I would not be surprised if Holo bust out in wolf form due to something happening to Lawrence or some other random unexpected thing happens. |

| anyone have any ideas on the meaning of the salt statue or the cause of the rebellion? |
| Awesome dialogue-heavy episode. Brought up very interesting topics related to immortality. And finally, this rebellion may just be the solution to this dilemma... |

| Interesting episode ... An unexpected event to happen o_olll |
     |
| I didn't care either way about the episode. There's just such a disconnect between the business and Horo/Lawrence's relationship that I just never get engaged by the business. I liked that there was a bit of mystery, but since it seems they've thrown that out the window (salt statue the exception), and there is only one (instead of 2) episode left...I'm not really interested in seeing what happens. I feel deus ex from Horo coming, but I hope not. |

| somehow i think our conclusion will be somewhat lackluster for me |
 |
| A rebellion eh? Uh oh, time for Lawrence to become fabulous and for Horo to pilot a mech. |

CurseDestiny said: same here,A rebellion didn't see that coming. Love the twist tho. i still can't believe Theirs a rebellion and the previews for the next episode are Interesting... |
 |
| Gah, they act so lovey-dovey couple like in this series.... they should just get with each other already, move it to the next base! |

Oosran said: i also want a third season but wouldnt like a big cliffhanger, although i dont know how else they end the season in one more episode. i think that abe is smuggling the salt with ships because in the op there's the scene where abe is on one of the ships, and that hasnt been shown yet in the show i think. i also think that horo and lawrence will stay together after another argument or something else that happens, but i doubt they will end their journey together here.

| Isn't anyone else worried about the barmaid?!?! I hope she'll be okay... |
| So....are Lawrence and Horo ever gonna kiss at least? There's a lot of "almost" times. xD Well, one episode to go. |
   |
MRLX69 said: THIS. omg, Lawrence and Horo, please, just kiss or something already I beg of you!Gah, they act so lovey-dovey couple like in this series.... they should just get with each other already, move it to the next base! Anyways, great episode as always. woah! A rebellion. Didn't expect that! How are they gonna resolve this whole thing in one episode? hmm, How much you people wanna bet that they're going to end it with a cliff hanger? I bet they are~ & Nooo, only 1 more D: I don't want it to end! D: |
