Blah, I'm honestly disappointed. The fights were way better in the manga... while it should be the other way around. The animation was weak again... I really do hope they'll go back to the old animation quality when the new arc starts.

And lol @ that last pic comment. If only he knew who is new "girlfriend is" :P

Haha, I lol'd...... after I said 'shit!' . xD - Have fun, Raki.

Was an okay episode, the Claymores pretty much pwnd after being underestimated. Clare seems to get the hang of it and some more stability into her fighting style. Looking forward to more.

I agree with Kay on this one. I wasn't really excited about the fight. It could've been done much better. But w/e, interest is still high, looking forward to the next episode.

Raki sure knows how to make friends. I knew something was up when she said he smells good. Although Priscilla now seems like a little lost child. I wonder what happened to her between killing Teresa and getting involved with things up north.

The fight scenes once again were on the weak side but the story that's keeping me on edge makes up for it in a large way.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

The fight wasn't that bad although I hate how everyone swings their swords around super fast like Clare's first special move. It makes it look like Clare has no special traits at all other then having someone else's arm lol.

Awesome Episode, saving reading the manga till after the series is over. Its just like movies, the book is always better. I liked the fights but yeah, Clare's flash sword doesn't seem to do anything better. Flora's attack makes it look like her arm never moves.

She didn't look that good when she was a Claymore though.
But yeah her awakened form is beautiful, this younger form is more "I want to take you homeeee".

When I saw the girl, I had a bad feeling and thought "Raki is doomed."

But when I heard her name, I went like "Shit, he's more than doomed."

I didn't think the animation was that bad. Maybe because I haven't read the manga?

I had a nostalgic feeling when i heard prisciilla was back in town, i think its going to go along the lines of raki becomes a claymore then they have to kill eachother or somthing :) or kill eachother at the same time.
either way its still a good show to be watching.

It would be awesome if Raki became a Claymore but I think the organization can only do that long and painful process and they stopped making male ones. So no matter how old Raki gets, he'll never be able to protect Clare from anything.

thats not true.

imo if Raki wasn't around then Clare would have awakened and not returned (episode 4). so.. technically he did save her right?? :)

I've always wanted to fight in the snow. That cold air going through your lungs and flakes that get into your eyes, but melt away quickly. I should invest in a snow machine.

Very good episode. The fivesome lives! Clare, Miria, Denve, Helen, Jeane... they're all alive after the first round of battles!

Some advice from me... don't eat bratwursts while watching Claymore fighting scenes. I almost chummed a few times during that episode while eating.

The fights were ok, but really clare's flash sword IS looking a bit stale compared to all the other techniques.

I like the twist at the end: this can't end well for raki or clare anymore.

and yes, priscilla looks way better that she did in the theresa flashback!

pretty good episode, the fights left a little to be desired, but still pretty decent. I was especially disappointed, that they didn't even really show Jean's drill sword attack, it showed it for like a split second. But, the 3 sword beheading was pretty epic!! The Easley and Priscilla apperance, was weird, felt kinda out of place, but still interesting...Urahara Out!!

Okay, the bad guys need better catch phrases. Saying "wait" or "stop" right as you are defeated in a fight that was clearly to the death from the very beginning is just silly.

Other than that, good episode.

I completely agree. I thought this was a special move that irene and clare could only do, so that it was special (Since irene's ability, was callde ''Flash sword'' which is what there doing) but EVERYONE has that move, so its not really her ability. It isn't special anymore, just regular :

I didn't really mind the fights tbh, and lol at Priscilla being a girl. Which is weird, I thought about her for a sec, but I knew she looked like 10 years older as a claymore. Why do they all look like 8 years olds.

And lol, pedophiles : P [jk]

And great, didn't guess he was easley (Forgot about him T_T) thanks for minor spoiler guys.

The fights and conversations in fights are starting to annoy me. It's always the same:
1. Claymores fight vs. Yoma
2. Yoma puts Claymore in serious situation
3. Claymores go over their limits
4. Yoma is like bahahaha stupid
5. Claymores are still human
6. Yoma is surpirsed
7. Claymoars kill Yoma (or not)

That's exactly what I like so much about Clare. She's weak, but damn she's skilled!

On another notice, I've been waiting for Raki's return for very, very long now. Good thing he's back. And bad thing it had to be with Priscila D:

Although, I enjoyed this episode more than a lot of the others...

I think it's one of those animes where you need to step away from for a little ... marathons =overkill for me. Just my opinion.

It is quality--hopefully the animation will go back to stellar.
