I think so, but I'm not sure. In general this is a low-grade anime. I never finished it. To painful.

Oh, I remembered another show with (were)wolf-girl: Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan. But I must admit I have no clue what was that show about even though I struggled through watching it

This is the only Fox-girl I know of who acts decently. She is haughty, but thats expected of a goddess. Wolves are usualy portrayed as beastly and often driven by sexual desire (both male and female). Foxes are sly tricksters. They tend to behave themselves. I can think of two without looking. One from Kanon (I won't say who) and the lead female character (and her brother) in Kanokon. If you haven't seen Kannon, you should. Its not action packed or anything, but you shouldn't get bored.

no its not. It goes nurse, science teacher, and then gym teacher.

Kanokon is like a fetish fest. Its got pretty much a something for everyone.
But Wolf-girl Horo>Fox Girl Chizuru
The wolf girl in Kanokon was just a little...odd

I thought Nozomu was awesome. The way she spoke was wonderful because it was so devoid of emotion. She was also cute despite being a bitch in heat (literally).

Chizuru definitely can't hold a candle to Horo. Horo was well behaved, in general had a better shape (milk jugs aside, Chizuru wasn't exactly normal looking), was cute, useful, and didn't try to get the protagonist in trouble. Chizuru was crazy.

dvuongz · « **Reply #86 on:** August 12, 2008, 05:41:47 PM »

I agree. Besides, we only got to see Chizuru in fox form twice or thrice. Horo was full-time wolf-girl

Hm, I haven't seen Kanokon. Was stupid enough to step into To-Love-Ru to check out what pure ecchi show is about, and bored enough to survive it for six episodes, so now I have to finish it

On a good side, I sort of learned how to watch this type of shows (switching processing from brain to medulla), so I was able to enjoy Rosario+Vampire thanks to that, but I really doubt I can survive both To-Love-Ru and Kanokon

In her words: Do you know who I am? I am the Wolf Deity Horo!

She's probably hundreds of years old, doesn't look her age but certainly acts with the wisdom of one... and yet she doesn't forget to "keep herself interesting" (watch episode 7, I loved that line). And like any good moe subject, she has some weaknesses as well.

Yea I loved that line. Reminded me of Kamina. Ah... Horo is so quirky. I foresee a future fanclub for horo that rivals haruhi.

I should get working on a sig or avatar then...

relic2279 · « **Reply #91 on:** August 13, 2008, 03:12:56 AM »

If someone creates a "Horoism" avatar, I'd use it. I can't discount my love for Haruhi, but nearly everyone has at least a little Haruhism. Maybe I'll bust out CS2 and make my own later since I'll be up till like 5am tonight.

Its irrelevant unless you are trying to say that I'm comparing an ignorant pup to a worldly adult.

I find it funny who phonetically close "Horoism" and "Haruhiism" is. Also, they both start with H (lolz)

EDIT:
Something I whipped up in PS in like 20 minutes. not great, but its a start

nstgc · « **Reply #94 on:** August 13, 2008, 01:49:53 PM »

Mac needs to use Horo in an ad campaign.

dvuongz · « **Reply #95 on:** August 14, 2008, 04:38:38 PM »

I love horo and all, but....Even if Apple played that trump card, they're still on my blacklist.
Besides, horo wouldn't stoop that low XD

Dakkar · « **Reply #96 on:** August 14, 2008, 05:22:32 PM »

Colors don't match, the main for macs is silver now, and Horo doesn't look her age

dvuongz · « **Reply #97 on:** August 14, 2008, 05:26:43 PM »

neither do the characters in harry potter movies, and they are makin a sixth movie

Dakkar · « **Reply #98 on:** August 14, 2008, 05:37:11 PM »

Erm, never was interested in this books. Sort of saw the last movie, as it started right after the one I came to watch in the neighboring hall, so I stopped by (come on, it's free

). Well, except for the kiss scene when my peaceful slumber was disturbed by the excitement of the audience, I happily slept through the most of it
