Scene 6 Teresa and Clare (Teresa to Kurea)
Clare and Teresa stand on a cliff overlook the town of Rokut. Teresa tells Clare that will be in town shortly and there they will find someone to take care of her. Clare is obviously not happy to hear Teresa saying this. Teresa assures her that she will not simply abandon her. She will find someone/someplace safe for her and won’t leave her until then.
That night Clare cries herself to sleep and Teresa starts to walk away. The bandit that had previously assaulted Teresa is back, minus one hand, and once more attempts to jump the Claymore. It is pretty clear that he has it on his mind to rape Teresa. As he tries to overpower Teresa, she is overcome with disgust over the fact that it is for humans like him that she has to keep fighting.
Clare intervenes and tries to strike him with the bough of a tree but the bandit instead starts to beat on the girl. Teresa grabs the bandit’s sword. She is sickeningly reminded by the bandit that she is forbidden from killing human beings and this prompts her to question the rules. In response, she tells him that it is up to her to decide when she wants to break the rules.
The bandit, frightened by Teresa’s bravado, runs off. Clare runs over to Teresa and is finally able to speak. She asks Teresa if she is in pain, and then she says that she has always seen some sort of pain in Teresa’s eyes. It is almost as if Teresa has been wrought with a great deal of loneliness.
Clare believes that Teresa’s pain is totally unbearable. In fact, Teresa understands that Clare’s hugs (from the first moment they met) were actually for Teresa’s sake and not simply to aid or thanks from child. Clare was genuinely concerned about Teresa’s loneliness. Teresa begins to cry as she then hugs Clare. [click to continue…]

Okay, I’ve finished watching episode 12-16 and that Shoji is such a jerk! No girl, even Hachi (Nana), deserves to be treated that way. Yes, she’s not totally innocent in the whole thing and yes, she is quite annoying but no one deserves to be treated that way.
Sachiko is not without her fault as well. She knew that Shoji had a girlfriend but she didn’t let that stop her from sleeping with him. So, Sachiko you are on my Do Not Like list however the full blame goes to Shoji. He was the one who said he loved Nana and even had thought of marrying her (to death). Sachiko made no such promise to Nana (I mean why would she) but Shoji you are horrible!
He should have been a man about it and broke things off (I know easier said then done). Their relationship was like a bomb waiting to explode. Isn’t it better to defuse a bomb and then get rid of it versus letting the bomb explode? In an explosion so many people can get hurt. When you defuse it correctly, everyone is okay. Yea, there is a possibility that you may clip the wrong wire but what about the possibility of you clipping the right wire? Everyone will be unharmed and can continue with their lives, right?
That’s what we had in these episodes. Shoji and Nana’s relationship was like a bomb but no one wanted to defuse it for fear that they would be “clipping” the wrong wire. So, instead we had a freaking huge explosion where so many people got hurt. And I blame Shoji. He knew he was no longer in love with Nana but was just a punk and couldn’t man-up! (boo, Shoji).
Alright, enough about that naughty boy . . . let’s move on to my favorite Nana. She finally made her début in Tokyo. She was so cool! I got goose bumps (for real!) To have such a presence around you must be an awesome feeling.
I’m looking forward to the next episodes. Until then enjoy the opening and Nana’s Tokyo debut song:

I saw the trailer for Rin: Daughter of Mnemosyne while watching another anime series and I thought it would be a fast pace, entertaining anime (at least that’s what I thought) I had no reason to suspect I would see what I saw. 
I saw topless girls, girl on girl, boy on girl, S&M and everything in between action. It’s rated TV-MA had I took notice of this earlier it could have prepared me (a little bit) but I tend to disregard ratings. I find anime ratings to be somewhat inaccurate; for example Witchblade is given a TV-MA rating (I believe its’ content doesn’t come anywhere near Rin’s) and there’s the R rating given to the live action Death Note (for violence I guess but really?) and then there’s Speed Grapher which also gets a TV-MA (whose content matches that of Rin’s) so ratings don’t really paint an accurate picture so I disregard them. (however I should say I can do this because of I am over the age of 18 and seeing anime like Rin or Speed Grapher may initially shock me however I can get over it and deal with it while others can not – okay moving on).
So, my initial thoughts of Rin: Daughter of Mnemosyne is that it’s moving along at a nice pace but I’m really curious if they were going in the direction of making it a hentai but then took it onto different path. I haven’t seen an actual hentai anime before (just seen the covers) but I would image that Rin isn’t too far off into being one. She seems like a great candidate.
I have 3 more episodes left before I can say if it’s a good anime or a bad one. However, if you like boobies, sex, immortal women and men who give them pleasure by devouring them then give Rin a try (that is if you are the right age). 
Already seen Rin: Daughter of Mnemosyne? Tell me, did it hit the sweet spot for you or was it a total miss?
Pro: immortal women and men
Con: too much sex not enough story on how and why they are immortal, deceptive trailer
