Claymore

Claymore ep. 20= They took random frames from chapters 54-56 then pulled a story out of their ass to tie them together. They even robbed me of my Claire vs. Flora sparring match.

It's almost like they had the manga author overseeing the first dozen episodes, then he stepped out and they decided to take the story in their own direction...

Another horrible deviation from the original work this week. In the anime story, Hotdog's concerns apparently don't exist, as Raki watches Priscilla eat a man this week.

At least I can look forward to Clare's rampage next week. If they decide to write that out, I'm quitting the anime and not looking back.

Is clare's rampage the one against the lion dude? I saw some picture of that on a wetsite once.

Yes, fucking awesome. Yet, I bet they'll manage to fuck it up anyway.

This show started out so well but's turned to shit rather quickly.

I agree. What it looks like to me, is that they've decided to end the anime early vs the manga. The first half of the series followed the manga 90% phrase for phrase, the second half has a corellation factor of less than 25%, I think. If the first half excited you, I definately reccomend you pick up the manga; I don't read manga anymore, but for Claymore I make an exception.

There's no way it'll end at 26 is there??!?

I think it may

This is japan, they can do it and most probably will.

I havn't read that far into the manga or seen the anime, but I can see everyone just walking into the sunset going on to their next mission or some equally cheesy shit.

Wow, anime Claire didn't need to awaken all four limbs to beat Rigald, but she took like twice as long...
Any case, just further evidence for my swift ending hypothosis. In the manga, Claire never gained full control of her movement using only her legs; she had to awaken her arms and use all four to control her movement. With full control of her limbs at lightning speeds, I think we can expect a real end within 3 episodes, especially since Isley and Priscilla are in town and it seems that the rest of the horde isn't coming back.

Extra 3 translated by 10sigh is out. It's about Isley and Priscilla's first meeting. If Priscilla is as powerful in the anime, even anime Claire has no chance.

Maybe Priscilla kills Clare and takes Raki as her man servant . I'm sure Raki will save Clare since Priscilla likes him and then clare or another claymore will lop off priscilla's head.

If they somehow continued this series I would be amazed they would need a whole new storyline because it is so fucked up. And a lai style of fighting is worthless unless you can use the sword once its out thus Flora should get raped by someone and I don't care who.

Flora's already dead. In both stories.

I just started reading the manga since no one subs the anime in english anymore and I like the manga better. So I am not that far in the manga but she looks shitty from this last chapter I read.

Eclipse is still delivering weekly Claymore.

Relative to where Flora is introduced: In the near future,

Claire and Flora duel. Their overall combat strength is roughly equal. Also, further in the future,

Claire picks up the wind cutter as her main attack when she goes undercover (i.e., no yoki release)

Gotta get my post in before Grav bans me again since I just raped him with a quip.

Say what??? Why couldn't I find it on Veoh or YouLube yesterday its all spanish subbed eps...

Glad I can use torrents without some wierd P2P program like bitcomet now.

What's wrong with BitComet?

Nothing against bitcomet but I meant I don't like the whole people can DL shit from you while you DL it from them thing. I understand that it works even when you exit it so I prefer not to use those P2P things. They scare me a bit.

Not Bitcommet, or Bittorrent, or Azerus. The way that torrents work, others are downloading from you while you download from them. Only what you are explicitly downloading or seeding is available to others. Since this arrangement greatly increases the total upstream bandwidth for a given file or set of files, it results in cheaper (for the host of the work), faster downloads for an educated download population (you have to forward ports to enable others to request from you to get the maximum possible download, though even without forwarding, your client will try to establish outbound connections). In any case, I think if you read up on it and understood it, you wouldn't be against it. On the other hand, many other P2P systems aren't so clean...
