I was skeptical to pick up this manga, because the prims sounded too stereotypical. but i figured i would get the anime a shoot. So far i have enjoyed it. Its not the most funonimal anime i have seen in my life but deffently holds it own to whats airing right now.
One question, how does it match up to the manga, is it sticking almost 100% true?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, after seen the opening i figured that. It would make since, but i am glad to hear that the last few episodes with young Clare do lead back into her adult life as a claymore, and this isn't just some random child by the name of Clare.
I'm going to go on the assumption that they expect people to know some things, it took me abit to figure out that it was flash back due to the fact that i have never read the manga.
Now after seeing this anime it makes me want to go pick up the manga some time and read it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yarrr, all the charging up reminded me of DBZ :P

Spoiler:

at least they haven't started shooting yuki at each other yet, and they aren't recreating the who has worse constipation scream off yet

Over all, i have really really liked the anime, Up to the last few episodes, its stuck pretty close the the manga, if not quoting it word for word at parts. But i will have to agree with everybody else, on the part that the manga is better. the manga lets us know abit more about things between all baddies.

Spoiler:

Priscilla being strong than Isley, and completely kicking his ass at that one point in the special chapter in the manga, I dont recall it going over that in the anime, if they did, i must have missed it.

and as far as Raki goes, i think it was just some parallelism that they through in there. That is probably the real reason he is there, and he is also a driving reason for Clare to stay alive(besides the obvious, not wanting to die) and for her not to awaken. I would say, the only reason he is there, is because he in a since, keeping her human, so to speak.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I never said he wasn't a crappy under developed character, I was just describing what kinda of plot device I thought he was.

Spoiler:

The part where he does the sword play training with Isley, gave him great potential, they just killed it by making him kinda disappear in the manga, and having him appear when pretty much everybody is of no uses in Pieta anymore
