Spice and Wolf Episode 2

nekosasu | January 17, 2008 | 2:13 am

Because A Wolf Is Fine Too.

Episode 2 kept the same mellow pace as in the first episode, and up to now, nothing significant happened either.

As always, in a nutshell, Lawrence and Horo travel through the country and arrive at a village (presumably a priests’ village) to spend the night there. Lawrence, after discussing with someone that I suspect being the landlord or the mayor, encounters Zeire, who tells him that new coins with a higher content in silver will replace the old silver coins, and proposes a scheme to make profit. During the evening, Lawrence asks Horo if the boy said the truth, and she seems to say no. However, since Lawrence still sees an opportunity to make profit, he accepts the proposal the day after, and both combine to meet in the town of Pattsio.


This, my fellow readers, is why Horo is awesome.

Well, I would at least have expected some kind of evolution in this episode, or a more precise direction on where this is going. Well, I can guess that he will run into trouble in Pattsio, but apart from that…

Well, Horo makes up for it, for now at least I really am growing a fetish for kitsunemimi and fox tails just because of her… (nekomimi and cat tails are fine too, however). Seriously, Horo is h a w t. I absolutely love her red eyes and her long hair (usually I would go for shorter, but yeah it’s Horo :D). Horo always seems so happy-go-lucky, she is radiance and self-confidence in person. However, she seemed rather sad towards the end because she angered Lawrence. Also, it seems like there were some rather painful events in her past. Well, this goes for both: Lawrence cringes when Horo tells him that wolves eat the head of the humans crossing the forest, while Horo becomes very serious as Lawrence asks her if she ever had done that in the past. But what could it be? Could this mark some kind of beginning of a storyline, to find out Horo’s past, and to let her overcome it?

What I love is Horo’s quite outdated dialect: where nowadays one would say “da yo ne”, Horo goes “ja yo na/ja no”; she says “mushi” instead of “anata/kimi/omae” (you), “watashi” becomes “wacchi”, many negations ending in “nai” become “nu”, and so on. Too bad I don’t know much about Japanese dialects nor old dialects of the sort, so I cannot really classify it either. Language of the Gods, perhaps? XD But I love it, it sounds so “out of the woods”-like, somewhat like Kansai-ben. ( ´∀`)Σ⊂(゚Д゚ ) なんでやねん!Nandeyanen!


OMG O_O SERIOUS BLUSHING $!%§**** neko brain error: syntax error

Hmm, what I have noticed with this episode after listening to Horo’s speech, it seemed as if I had heard her voice actor in School Rumble already, and I wasn’t mistaken: Ami Koshimizu also was the seiyuu for Tenma Tsukamoto… Of course!! *bonks head*
And while I’m talking about the seiyuus, I have to admit I don’t really like Jun Fukuyama’s (Lawrence) voice here, I think he sounds a bit too young here. Well, still better than an exaggeratedly arrogant Lelouch in Geass though.

For some reason, it felt like Lawrence facepalm’d a lot… could he perhaps be, Kyon’s cousin?? But wait, Horo is not tsundere!!! [And she's by far more intelligent, more beautiful and more GODLIKE than Haruhi =P (yay, I can have a go at flaming TMoHS XD)]

Lawrence versus Kyon

Ahhhhhh… Horo… I want to plant my seeds into her, like in the ending xDXD Man, that Engrish is cracking me up big time.

Okay, this is by far becoming too random, so I’ll just stop here, and expect some more of a story in the next episode. I feel like eating an apple now, don’t you?

    Actually, I’m allergic to raw apples. True story.

    Yes, Horo is so far an impressive character, suitably flirtatious without being too inviting and - amazingly - without a dramatically developed bosom.

    In reference to the first picture where Horo is blushing, Neko=cat/catgirl…and Horo is a (minor) wolf god…
