neko\’s thinkbox

Omatase shimashita! I already watched the episode right after my Claymore 09 entry, but then I had to leave, and when I came back I started playing Touhou and Pangya… Well, that’s for the best, actually. My immediate reaction being unconditional Caps Locking in some IRC channels, I don’t think I’d have been able to provide you a legible entry then. Well, now that I’m bored playing, I finally found the time to convey my feelings. Enough blabbering already.
So… The tenth episode of Claymore fully lived up to my expectations. Not only because of the massive amount of action, but also because of a very unexpected turn of events. More after the jump~

Finally proceeded with episode 9 of Claymore. After the Teresa arc, we finally return to our Clare as we knew her from the beginning. And, to my huge satisfaction, everyone was right: it’s going to be even more awesome from now on. However, I am quite surprised, if not shocked, by all the new information that I got in this episode. As it’s an old episode, I’ll omit the summary. I think this makes this post also more legible and less tl;dr ^^

I think that regulars might already know what I mean with ’small’: long-winded sentences, neverending explanations, tl;dr and all that stuff. Rest assured, I haven’t written a ‘long’ entry yet. XD

Anyway, here’s my ’small’ follow-up to my previous Claymore 08 entry, where I simply conveyed my mourning feelings about the events that took place in that episode. Now with my finals being over, I somehow got other things in mind than to feel sad about Teresa. Perfect timing for the thinkbox! *flips the rusty switch* Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes I wonder. I could have slept on numerous occasions today since I had only 6 hours (2×3) of sleep for over 60 hours of being awake, lots of studying and 2 exams. Instead, I played some Stepmania, and some Pangya, I actually even started playing some Touhou today (the first 3 games for now, the quality keeps improving), I could have continued my Higurashi marathon, or worked on a wallpaper, or maybe even studied for my last exam on Monday (maths). And yet. It’s 2 AM now. I would have been asleep at least twelve hours ago, yet I just finished watching Claymore Episode 8. I really shouldn’t have. Not now.

I don’t feel the fatigue anymore at all. For I am emotionally mortified now. I’m at a loss of words.

Edit before publishing: Very honestly speaking, even after a good night’s rest, I really don’t feel like writing anything right now, so I’ll just leave it at this for now. I most probably will add the thinkbox on Monday or so, or as soon as I can overcome my grief and sort out my overly mourning confused thoughts. Thank you for your understanding.

Awesome. After some very stressful days where I spent most of my time studying biology for my oral that took place this Friday afternoon, I finally got around to watch Claymore, albeit at a very late of an hour (4 AM now, I wonder…)
I’ll be digressing already, but I need to tell: The oral went quite well, although I felt so nervous that I really thought I was running in circles with my explanations… Not to mention the damn stutters and run-on sentences… Blaaah, I should control my temper. But I’m positive that I said about everything there was to say, the teachers didn’t ask further details, it might be a good grade. I hope, at least. Next stop: Next Thursday, Biology written exam. Main Subject, pixels, etc. Back to Claymore.

Please note: Due to finals, I’m not going to put up with writing long-winded summaries for the time being since that simply takes too much of my precious free/sleep/studying/procrastinating time. I’ll just stick with the pictures and my personal opinion, the well-known thinkbox. It’s not like you’d be reading the summary anyway (let alone miss it) ^^

Ughh… Neko’s sick. Sore throat, headache, cold, I guess that’s the major force required to keep him away from school for a day.
Bedridden, I had now plenty of time to watch episode 6 of Claymore. And I must say, I’m overwhelmed. This episode proved me once again that Claymore is an outstanding anime far beyond my expectations.

After all that happened in the previous episodes, this was a rather unexpected change of pace. It really looked like a new story, which threw me off at first - Clare was nowhere to be seen… Only right before the end of the episode was I finally able to understand what the whole episode was about…

Also, please read the last paragraph of this entry. Do it, or else it’s going to explode right in your face in the following weeks.
