claymore
Reply With Quote   #1

so far im liking claymore. its actually got good character development and nice action. what im hoping for is

7

SPOILER:
for the claymore claire and teresa to get together and basically make their own organization. having those two get together and fight the youma and the claymore organization would be awesome. have them slowly bleed away from the claymores as they make more and more realize what they can be. what i really hope doesnt happen is that the claymore claire story disappears.

I've read all the published manga so far and let me say, if you are enjoying it now it only gets better. Claymore is a fantastic series

Yeah I've been reading the manga. It's very Berserk-ish. Though I like Berserk more. That's not tos ay this series isn't excellent, though.

SPOILER:

aww man there went my hope. anime this spring seems to be going kill crazy on the heroes. edited out --Stalk and now theresa. well hopefully it goes back to claymore clair in the next episode. maybe have girl clare go to train as a claymore to avenge theresa.


Thank you for using spoiler tags, but people usually think you're spoiling the series the thread is about, in this case, Claymore. You had both Claymore and a certain other series I won't name because it'd be easy to figure out if I did. As a result, I edited out the spoiling name from your spoiler. It is now safe. --Stalk

ill put in spoiler but ya ...

SPOILER:

the thing i finally figured out is that clair girl is clair claymore. it took me to last episode to figure out they went back in time when they did the teresa story. but my theory on clair now that you ask
SPOILER:
is that since she has teresa inside her she will be able to unlock teresa's abilities and become possibly greater then teresa in time though right now its locked away so no one can tell how good she can become. i think the boy will be the one to unlock her abilities.
i will say in my defense ive watched claymore on 2 different subbers and they spelled clair different and i happened to switch subbers right when they started the teresa story so that threw me

Finally watched this series. Up to episode 9. Really liking it.

SPOILER:
I was glad when I found out that not all of the Claymores are as stoic as Claire. I was worried the whole series was gonna be about them and they were all gonna have the personalities of rocks.

But apparently that's just Claire. I mean, ****, I think one of those Claymores in the past had Naruto's VA.

I think it's awsome that Claire is dead ******* last. That means she has so many ranks to go up!

Hopefully it's not just through casualties. :p

That guess is 90% off the mark. As for name, it is intended to be Clare.

i go to animesuki which lists lots of fansub groups torrents...though some of the anime i've been watching seems to be way way behind japan's airings...but i'm too lazy to search for a faster fansub of those episodes

o, and eclipse is the only subber group on animesuki at episode 14 for claymore, the rest stopped after just a few episodes months ago...

Really liking this arc. Sounds wierd, but its starting to remind of of Ender's Game. At least that whole, "slowly building up a team of awsome" aspect of it. Which I always like. Taking a bunch of losers and developing them into something good.

One thing I didn't like though was the way the animators lazy dbzish sword fighting makes it seem like everyone is using the Flash Sword.

Poor Raki. He's obviously stuck with some Yoma. I wonder if that THE Precilla though. Which would make the other guy whozits, the Dweller in the Dark.

ya since most of the claymores look pretty much alike its tough to tell when its clare kicking ass since they all use the flash sword it seems.

and yes that is priscilla and the dweller. i knew raki was ****ed soon as he saw the person in the abandoned town. you would think he would wonder at that :x

the final scene made me say "nooooo" because they cut to the ending credits at such an awesome part!

SPOILER:
no, because they would have stopped that while so many other claymores kept dying off, right from the start with her "friend" was awakening and needed to be killed.

and she already cut the silver eyed lion to pieces so she won the fight, but she is awakening so raki is going to save her by calling out her name, or running up and holding her, or something. i bet she has to keep the legs, i didn't read the manga so don't spoil it

i also heard this series will end at 26, i'm very saddened, its way way way better then anything else right now

They completely butchered the story from ep21 and onwards. I guess they decided to end it with one season only and end it there. In short, read Manga!

This isn't in the Manga, they changed the story.

No.

Oh you should all get the Claymore ES(extra stories) manga, it's stories about claymore characters in the past, and where quite fun to read.

You keep talking like this is the only good series this season.

You can't possibly have seen Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan yet, I assume?

EDIT: Ending blew donkey balls.

yea, i've seen gurren lagaan, have a few episodes saved up of it too...along with kenichi, kaze no stigma, heroic age, bleach, one piece, gigantic formula, blue dragon, kekkaishi?, d. gray man, souten no ken, shigurui(downloaded but haven't watched yet), and many many more.

claymore was by far the best, kenichi is second, the rest are all tied for third right now. kaze no stigma ended at 25 i think, though it seemed like a good 18 of those episodes were filler. bleach just stopped doing filler, i think. gigantic formula comes out in spurts, but isn't that great. gurren seemed pretty good for a while, the animation is both beautiful and weird. one piece is doing fillers now, or seem to be from the last episode i saw. heroic age and blue dragon just aren't that good, but decent enough to watch...and i've only seen the first episode of kekkaishi so far.

also recently watched the first 2 seasons of avatar, plus the first episode of season 3, justice league/unlimited, transformers beast wars, and season 1 of batman beyond. all while working 30-40 hours a week, playing tennis and flying for fun.

edit, yea, ending kinda sucked

For me, the list goes something like this..

#1 Gurren Lagaan
#2 Seirei no Moribito
#3 Major
#4 Claymore
#5 Kenichi
#6 Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Then there's everything else.

With Zero no Tsukaima 2 a close second.

Meh, I didn't HATE the ending, though maybe thats cause I didn't read the manga.
SPOILER:
It didn't really resolve much though. I mean, everyone was basically in the same place they were before they went north. I guess Claire defeated Pricilla so she has some closure now. But Pricilla is alive, and in the hands of Easly still, so she'll probably go back to being a killing machine at some point.

From an action standpoint it was okay though. Awakened Claire was cool. I liked how even though it looked like both arms transformed into like 4 sword arms, the arms on each side were different, I assume because the arms on each side were different to begin with.

Claymore needs a second season, period.

Odd note, I think this is the first 'broadcast' series I've ever seen that actually showed nipples. Even Girl's Bravo didnt have nips in the TV version. I figured they got away with it due to only 'awaked/monster' types were being shown, but Priscilla was shown right at the end in human form, so I was wrong.
