To Mentar: Granted, it’s just an anime, I know that ;) Like books or movies, animes are mostly fictional works. They can, if several conditions are met, make the audience happy, angry, sad, etc. Sometimes they can make people cry as well, and there are quite a few examples (of which I’d just like to cite Titanic… which, on the contrary, made me laugh, btw).

Indeed, it was my fatigue which amplified the dramatic effect on me, but still, I lost a character dear to me (especially after such a cowardly action!!!!), and I’m mourning for her. T__T
At least I’m happy that I didn’t spoil myself on the manga nor on other blogs… Else I would have become even sadder because then I’d have ruined the suspense.

To both: Thanks for getting my hopes up ^^ I somewhat figured out that it couldn’t be any worse than this, so yeah that’s basically a confirmation. I hope I can get to watch the next eps soon, although now I need to focus on maths. Argh, probabilities………

This episode is a very emotional one, but this episode is also a perfect example of why I love Claymore, it realy brings out human emotion, when is the last time you felt such empathy with a fictional character? Especially to the point of feeling sorrow over that character’s loss. Dont worry I had my period of getting over this part of the story as well, rest assured the rest of the story is well worth continuing on for.

Now now, it’s still just an anime ;)

Feel happy that you do NOT know the story. Then you can enjoy the show as it unfolds, without knowing where it will develop.

You’ve been warned early on, the story is no happy one, rather very grey and bitter. But also very enthralling. And don’t worry, there will be better times too. Watch 9+10 to overcome the grief!
