the feels was hit me hard and i still shed tears even after the episode

Stark700 · 2014-12-06, 12:07

Sisterly hug <3

I feel bad for Yuuki now. She better not die before this show is over.

psycho bolt · 2014-12-06, 12:17

It hit me to know that Yuuki is a terminal patient, but to find that the rest of the Guildies are the same was devastating

GDB · 2014-12-06, 12:31

My feels hurt.

Somnus · 2014-12-06, 12:46

Having read this, I knew the truth about Yuuki beforehand. But actually seeing it made me tear up something fierce. I'd also forgotten the actual reason behind the Sleeping Knights disbanding, and after she revealed it, followed by the quick flash of all of them smiling...

Man...

That's unfair. My feelings can't take that.

DMurphy · 2014-12-06, 12:55

I was - not expecting to tear up like I did.

blakstealth · 2014-12-06, 12:57

The guild name Sleeping Knights makes sense now.

When the glass cleared and showed Yuuki's real body, it hit me so hard.

Wandering Soul · 2014-12-06, 13:19

That episode hit me right in the feels.

Benigmatica · 2014-12-06, 13:21

Man, I need a tissue... Seeing Yuuki being bound in her bed really broke my heart!

dniv · 2014-12-06, 13:25

Great episode. Those feels...

Phoenix6000 · 2014-12-06, 13:34

The feel train finally rolled in and it's here to stay.

The Green One · 2014-12-06, 13:47

All aboard the feels train! *choo-choo*

Now this is why you don't spoil things.

DevilHighDxD · 2014-12-06, 13:49

The feels... THE FEEEEELS! (Sob) I cry my heart out for you Yuuki! T_T

BluePhirePB · 2014-12-06, 14:09

We've arrived in Feeladelphia. Man, what a tear jerker. However, this does give me more insight regarding the end credits. I was trying to figure out why Yuuki was studying and being aided by Yui. I thought Asuna's shoulder cam was for Yui to interact with the real world but now it seems it might be more for Yuuki.

Darthtabby · 2014-12-06, 14:14

I was a bit worried about this episode since I found the corresponding section of the source novel a bit cheesy and heavy handed and I was worried the anime would magnify those problems. Thankfully it seems to have downplayed them instead.

One thing I liked about this episode was how enthusiastic the doctor got when he was talking about some of the potential applications of the medicuboid. It's a small thing, but its one I really appreciated.

frodonk · 2014-12-06, 14:30

And then suddenly every scene in the ED made sense.

I'm also very very glad to know that my tear glands are still working.

Side-streetdog · 2014-12-06, 14:30

Great episode...
Their adaption even more better than I was expected.
All those feeling...
Even I knew about it before from novel,
but I have avoid not to reread and evade all spoiler for year after I know they will make anime from this arc.
To forget some detail and enjoy the show. and yes it's all worth.

I believe they will get my tear in few next episode.
I hope they will do good as this one or even better.

***relentlessflame*** · 2014-12-06, 14:55

Could we please stop with the stupid "feels" crap? You're all grown adults. Please start acting like it.

Most annoying meme ever...

(To be clear, this is my personal rant, and not a mod request.)

The Green One · 2014-12-06, 14:58

And what may I ask is a "Proper Adult"? We hear that phrase a lot in our lives but it seems to have vastly different meanings from person to person. We're just having fun. That's what we come here for.
