Claymore

I liked the episode but the action was always interrupted. They should of divided the Raki scene and the battle sequence in two. That way we could of had enjoyed non-stop action.

the only saving grace of this episode was that last bit...

clare making ownage of Rigardo's arm

and once again all that big talk from Raki when it's obvious he hasn't improved with his skill... probably his annoying abilities improved or worsen depending on your preference...

but anyways.. yeah.... hope the next ep picks up from the last bit of the last episode and sustains that all through out...

Heh, maybe they are setting up Raki for a bad end. XD

Just one question about the ep. Where the hell did all the other Claymore go?

There were loads still fighting when Rigardo turned up. He makes his entrance, kills off the captains and then suddenly... its just Clare's alliance fighting. Where did everyone else disappear to, eh?

I didn't think it was a terrible episode (disappearing Claymore aside), but it does seem like how much people enjoy Claymore is inversely proportional to the amount of screen time Raki gets. Someone should write a scientific theorem about it.

The inverse Raki law, perhaps...

Miria was the only one that could remotely catch up. moving very fast and all that

There were what 18 left when Ricardo showed up... then he killed 4 captains....

a group of like 6 were shown being too worthless to consider.

Miria, Clare and Deneve and some other one (worthless) were shown.

and I think he killed at least two more.

So thats 16/18 accounted for, the last two either died or snuck off and hid or pretended to die.

Great episodes again...cant wait for the next one to arrive. Probably the ownage of Rigardo. Roar somemore you shithead Anyway the Raki thing kind of turns me off as it did to you guys when they switch between the battle and him, it's like you got some nice shitting feeling ongoing and when u reach the toilet it's gone, you constipated.

Great episode. Although it's kinda hard to imagine how they're gonna wrap up the series nicely with only 3 episodes left to go, considering there's still so much that could be told. Unless there's a second season or something.

P.S lmao @ Raki growing up to be Gank

Episode 23.

Better then episode 22, but still way too much Raki. He really makes me wish that someone would just kill him. Just so we can have the rest of the story without him. The pathetic whiny bastard.

Ok, I know its mostly just the Seiyuu they have voicing him, but damn it, I hate him.

I think this could go either way. Either a second season, or they could wrap it up in just the next few episodes. The manga goes on, but they have already diverged widely from the original anyway. I'm looking forward to finding out. Personally, I'm hoping for a second season myself.

yay for extended fight scenes!!! Very Happy

however... this "critical" blasphemy with raki in it i cant stand... Evil or Very Mad

i wouldnt mind the deviation if only raki wasn't there..

this episode would be perfect if it weren't for Raki ruining it...

What does he think of accomplishing by going to where Clare is? Nothing good will come out of it once Clare knows Raki is there... well he could probably bring her back from awakening but thats about it... I guess it's ok now since Rigardo got owned...

well the reasonings and motivations have been kinda off a bit.. since they deviated from the manga..

also, i find it quite strange why isley himself would mention the word "claymores" coz claymores dont call each other "claymores" it is a word the people came up with.. claymores refer to each other as "warriors" be it former claymores, awakened or abyssals.. it should be noted that in the manga isley never called them "claymores" however because raki is there it might be the reason for using the term.. but another strange thing is why civilians would know about the claymores number ranking.. specifially saying "even the lowest number" is there... raki didnt know about numbers till clare joined with a group.. and i doubt the organization gives out any info of the current number roster to the normal populace..

I'm kinda curious on how the anime has deviated from the manga, anyone know the details?
