That was another awesome episode.

I liked Clare's hairstyle while she was 'undercover'. Looked real good on her.

That witch the title refers to seems interesting, and I'm always surprised about the great designs of awakened ones. Though I wonder if Clare can beat her and her little slave monster after taking those pills. I know a day passed since she took those but I don't exactly remember how long they work. For some reason I also liked that destroyed castle with the that 'witch's' dungeon beneath it.

W00t! I just love Clare's new outfit (Cloaks ftw). To bad she probably wont keep it for long, so goes for her hairstyle that is back to normal already.

Anyway, not much action in this episode but I enjoyed it a lot. Clare's starting to look a bit... "Teresa-like" the way she handled those Youma was great.
We also got a decent glimpse at the organization this time... and now we know the reason why Clare was allowed to have Teresa's flesh and blood.

And also this new girl which name I already knew due to her being in the char db. I'm guessing she's a really powerful Awakened, since she commands the other one like that. And seems she's trying to awaken Claymores on purpose to "recruit" strong ones. That thing got me thinking... maybe the Awakened some kind of hierarchy system that we're not aware atm.. that would explain why the Male awakened follows the "girl's" orders like that and a couple of other things too.

Maybe we'll get some answers in the next episode. And seems Galatea is gonna make a re-appearance too. Looking foward to it.

At least we know Raki is still alive and kicking out there. It doesn't seem he's gotten anywhere in terms of upping his strength though.

After falling out of contact with the organization for 3 months I'm surprised Clare felt obligated to assist in the awakened being hunt. She invoked her number in the organization as she went out so was it a sense of duty? Or perhaps she thought she'd run into Priscilla? Whatever the case, that little girl and her goon look like they'll be some very tough fights. Since Galatea will be making an appearance, I wonder how much of an effect Clare will have in the overall battle.

I think it's just for the sake of fighting awakened beings. And Raki seems to 'work' on his stamina, why else would he have decided to walk through that sandstorm.

Clare has to be moving up in the rankings at least a little bit, they've been dropping like flies lately...

Another very interesting episode. Liked Clare's new hairstyle, wish she would keep it. :)

Also...this face...priceless.

I thought so too. Raki's probably trying his hardest to beef up so he can be "useful to Clare". I'm hoping Raki will have some significant role later on although since he's a main character thats kinda inevitable, However a significant role could be him getting killed off so Clare can use his death as power up material (i seriously hope not ;_;)

I'm looking forward to Clare and Galatea's meeting. That will be Clare's biggest test so far, lets hope she aces it (well even a c- would be good lol)

this ep seemed like one of those "calm before the storm" episodes so we should expect extreme awesomeness next week. The ep was still very good, i was all smiles when Clare properly dispatched those Yoma peons and Flash sword looks even cooler when our favorite heroine is the one weilding it

The organization could be using Raki's feelings to test if a human and a 1/4 Youma (clare) can mate and have kids. If you notice the organization is surprisingly ok with her always being with him. In the manga they also always drop hints or point her to monsters that are near him. So theres definitely something going on they we all don't know about yet.

i dont read manga but i always considered that possibility. Since Clare is predominantly human it may somehow be possible but however, not very practical; Imagine a pregnant Clare O_O i bet it's pretty hard to pwn yoma when your gut is that size XD. But that could be a cool ending for Claymore: On top of a secluded hill in the middle of nowhere The camera pans across the smiling faces of Raki and Clare standing in a field with their newborn baby boy in tow. In the background is a small wooden shack and assorted farming tools...

not likely but on another note, a normal male Claymore can't control the urge to blow his load (lol) and go AO but suppose Raki, like Clare, had the remains of a normal claymore implanted into him and became 1/4 yoma? I think with his "love" for Clare and what not he probably could handle it. It's not like the old male Claymores awakened immediately, they just awakened too fast. With such low yoki and enough motivation maybe our Raki could handle it

Thats true but we don't know how youma are when there pregnant. They could only be preggos for a week and then have the kid for all we know.

Thats a possibility that Raki might turn 1/4 but why would Raki have the remains put into him in the first place? If he did that, it would probably only be with Clares own skin/body. Also I don't think Clare would allow him to do such a think since she sees him as herself when she was in that situation and wishes him to live and die a human.

There is a chance that he could just become insanely strong thanks to the abyssal(sp?) up north. (err you don't read the manga so you have no idea what I'm saying haha sorry).


PS. did anyone notice that the head organization guys eyes where the same as a claymores? Thats something you can't really notice in the manga but after watching ep 15 you can clearly see he has grey eyes.

Too much empathy is being placed into the Raki character - My vote is he's going to bite it.

Lots of plot development here for part 1 of 3. Classic cliffhanger ending (WANT MORE NOW!)

Nice to glimpse some of the organization - even though they're being rather cryptic (along with Rubel's thoughts). Quite odd for them to wrongly make assumptions about the claymores especially with Ermita's stalking/info gathering in the previous AO hunt.

I, too, like the hairstyle that Clare had when she was undercover. She looked great.

More Claymores... and they die! I hope Jeane hangs on... I like her very much!

I have to admit, I was a little bothered with the noise made when she lengthened her vocal cords. I cringed even more when Jeane had those poles stuck in her body as her ribs cracked and blood flowed out.

As for Kathia awakening... I had thoughts of the movie, I Robot. Too bad she died so quickly. The little loli and Duff are so ruthless.

Clare making a preemptive strike on the Yomas just didn't seem right. They seemed so nice... and over matched too.

Oh, the much anticipated battle between Duff and Clare. Plus, it looks like Galatea is back. Yes!

Have you ever walked through sand blown by the wind? That freaking hurts! It feels like getting hit by needles all of your body. Never do it, unless you have protective gear.

So it may seem...But for some reason, I keep feeling that they have some other hidden agenda... Of course, they are neither "evil" nor "good" but I would not be surprised to find out that they are the real antagonists...

This ep was slow, but interesting in the beginning. The more info about the organization the better. The real twist was seeing that one escaping Claymore make it into town. How did she get past all the other yoma w/ those injuries?

All the demons seem WAY too smart in this ep. And leave it to the japanese to once again make a loli creepy as hell. She has got to be REALLY bad @$$ to dole out orders the way she does.

& finally, a moment of silence for Clare's new hairstyle. We will miss you.

This episode was great after about 11 minutes, it was a lil slow when she was lookin for Rocky, but still good, and the way she got a lead from the kids, talking about the fountain was brilliant. The shorty witch looks interesting, and another MALE awakened being? Awesome! He looks extremely strong, he took like 6 of that chicks tentacles, and it didn't even phase him. Then he pawned her with one mega-smash, Amazing! Well, gotta watch the next ep, see ya on the 16 post. Urahara Out!!

Okay, what I like about Claymore episodes is that they tend to contain so much more content than what's usual for 26-ep animes. The first half of this episode was so good, I just loved it so much. And then - the other part was so... twisted. There is something really weird about these bad guys, but I guess we'll find out what exactly are they up to in the next episode.

So I better go watch it!
