12 Days of Anime #3: Troll Of The Year

Claymore 129

This might not be remembered by all, but let us not forget the biggest troll of the year. Courtesy of the Jump SQ editing department, there was a certain manga all of us thought had abruptly ended.

Just one word. One simple word that caused the uproar of the year: end. Placed at the bottom of the chapter, Claymore damn near pissed off a lot of its fans when they thought the series had ended out of nowhere. That one chapter sparked so much buzz that I caught up to the series after putting it on hold for a while.

Because it was short-lived, this moment would have probably been forgotten by most. It does help that it happened towards the beginning of the year and was then overshadowed by a few manga performing superbly well. The likes of Bleach and KamiNomi just stole the show recently, making up for this blunder of blunders.

It was a hilarious moment. Mayhem caused, quickly solved and we moved on.
