I like Claymore and was intrigued ever since I saw a preview page of it under "manga explorer" within my very first issue of Shonen Jump. After a couple of years, looks like it's now an anime and doing pretty well. Other than the half-yoma fact, there's something about the girls that I don't find pretty at all, but I think that's actually moreso a product of the art style in general for me.
Iunno, I think Clare is hawt .
------

Overall I'm really hooked on this show right now. I've never read the manga, so I don't know what to expect, but it's been a long time since I've enjoyed an anime this much though, thanks for bringing it to light .

I have one possible beef about it though:
Spoiler:
The Teresa and Clare thing. Right now I'm not sure if the story-line between the two is in the past, and the little girl Clare is the older one you see at the beginning with Raki. Lack of matching hair colour confuses me though. Which leads me to believe the Teresa and Clare storyline takes place the same time as Clare and Raki. The reason it kind of bothers me....... is because the whole idea of badass claymore getting all softy over kids they randomly meet is almost feeling like overkill with Teresa now, only 1 annoying child please D: . Now if that was Clare in the past, I can tolerate, because it can be a way to lead Clare up to how she treats Raki. Anyways, ya.


Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ya, I thought so about the hair, it was a guess, but I wasn't sure so I didn't say anything about it. The main reason I was lead to believe that the story of Teresa is in present time because you see Clare and Teresa clash blades in the intro, that threw me off >_>. Well, mystery solved lol.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wow, episode 8 was a shocker.

Spoiler:
I am so very disappointed that we didn't get to see Teresa at her full potential, then again, being defeated at her lowest level gives us the feeling that she's the best still lol


Gah, so very eager to see episode 9 now, and so on lol.

The different levels and signs of releasing yoma powers kinda remind me of the super saiyan lvls in DBZ >_>.

and another thing I noticed:
Spoiler:
How Teresa's death was so abrupt and fast. With Clare holding her head in the end and crying. Reminded me of StarWars Episode II when Bobofett was holding his dad's head after his quick death :P. I'm guessing Clares purpose for becoming a Claymore would be the same as Bobofett becoming a bounty hunter, vengence?


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

Mmmm, that was a good episode. My only confusing was those small metal rods that Clare hands over to Raki before she leaves, I had to ask my friend what those were >_>.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Claymore Volume 13
Gah, my brain is like, fried after reading all that manga, it was so good I couldn't stop @_@.

Do you have a link of where these scanlations came from? I plan on buying the manga since they're so good, but I'm not patient enough to wait for the books to come out since they're behind D: .

--

Oh, I also have a question...

Spoiler:
When Claymore 5 went to the South to meet her sister, what happened there? I couldn't exactly tell, she just sorta held onto her and did something. Did she cancel our her Yoma and die in the process or something?


I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow, thanks a lot for hosting those, I really appreciate it .

I'd just like to share some of my favorite moments so far in the manga, not in any order:

Spoiler:
i. It was quite suprising the last time Clare and Raki see each other and she gives him that kiss goodbye. Emotional ;_;

ii. The appearance of "Quick Sword" Ilena when she saves Claire. Even more awesome is when she cuts off her own arm to give to Clare, totally uncalled for. I still wonder what happened to Ilena when she was caught by that Raphaela without arms :P.

iii. When Jean sacrifices her life to save Clare from turning into a full Yoma. I can't wait to see that entire battle animated.


What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Has anyone been keeping up with this? Chapter 78 was so freaking badass.

Spoiler:
Nice to see Clare and the crew back, back in style! Ooo and that one random girl whom we didn't know much about in the group can do something now, with sensing the movements and all, that was neat.


FELIPE NO
