AND TO SAY A FEW THINGS I THINK THAT YOU CAN FUCKING MAKE A GOOD FILLER SEASONE LIKE GIVE US MORE OF THE THINGS THAT THE GHOST OF THE 7 WARRIORS WHO FELL ON THE NORTH!!!!!! BUT I VIEW THIS AS A GOOD OPORTUNITY FOR MADHOSE TO REALY PUSH THE UNVELOPE, YOU KNOW!!!!

@DSJFX18: At least she didnt do anything mu

@Cliff: “everyone has to die in claymore”
- Are you sure? But i havent seen a single Organization’s member died yet in the Anime.
“and turned into theresa”
- What about Teresa come back to life instead? LOL

@AS: “I don’t know and hope for a nice battle arc to come out of it.”
- The point is what r they going to pull off from the last 2 eps.

and i think clare will die in the manga too as a last ditch attempt to kill priscilla.

or

if clare awakened
and turned into theresa : D
*hahaha i’m cracking myself up*

*everyone is like CLARE!!. and theresa is like sike… its me. yah. i’m a pimp :D*

…Kamina ;_;

As for the anime and manga having different endings, yes, I’m quite happy. It will make reading the manga all the more worth it.

@ Guido: I have the high ground Anakin! (AGI +10)

@ Trellisaze: I’m hopeful that Galatea will have more of a role in the coming episodes.

As far as Clare’s awakening goes, she will probably still be able to hold it together after everything is said and done. Raki and Jean will probably play some part in that, however they manage to find/reach Clare =\

@ Cliff: I’m betting that Clare will be able to get herself under control again. But a happy ending this is not, remember the amount of sacrifice that we had to go through to get to this point. MANY claymore were lost in the battle of Pieta. (Flora ;_;)

@ ItAintEazy: I thought it was pretty good. I rarely judge anime on animation alone, and Claymore’s animation has sucked quite badly throughout the whole series.

I’m focusing more on Madhouse’s original ending at this point, which I believe they are doing a relatively good job with.

@ Vaosk: Meh, it seems like there’s quite a divide between the viewers, I think Madhouse is doing a good job with their ending so far.

Clare has always persevered and pulled through impossible scenarios, for the other claymore (esp. Miria, Deneve, Jean and Helen) to abandon her would make even less sense.

But I do agree about the incoming Raki scene, that’s going to suck, they’ve already used that trick once D=

@ Fuzzims: Whoo, another supporter! Although, I don’t think Riful will have to intervene. The reason Isley began to take action is because he acquired Priscilla’s strength, with that gone, I think things will go back to the previous power balance.

@ Arakan7: While I agree with your points, I can’t help but miss loli Priscilla =( She was so win.

@ SHiN_aKuMa: Oh he’ll get there, somehow, either just in time to see the battle draw to a close, or just after. I don’t really want to see it happen either, but meh, there’s really no avoiding it now.

@ Kabitzin: The preview showed Priscilla bleeding from her head. While I still don’t think Clare should should be able to kill her at this point, it’s the ending that would wrap things up the best, so I’ll be hoping for that.

@ George: Based on the rate that the manga is being published, it would make no sense for them to hold out for another season. Remember, there’s more to making an anime than having a good story and characters, they have to make money. Claymore is at the peak of its popularity right now and it probably won’t last very long, they need to cash out quickly.

They used roughly 10 volumes of material to make one season, the manga is being released at like…1 vol/month right now. By the time they gathered up enough to make another season, interest in it would be long gone. Only truly epic series like Evangelion or really long running seasons like Bleach/Naruto have the luxury of taking their time with seasons/remakes. Other animes are forced to make as much money as they can as fast as they can while they’re still popular and then move on.

Madhouse knows this and decided to end Claymore at a point that made sense instead of leaving things open for speculation.

@ Max: >> Second, why so much flame on deviation? Anime is diferent from manga. It’s not like Madhouse ripped of Nagi and came up with and proclaimed it the one, true and original Claymore story.

Well said.

As for the power level discussion, I’ve stated numerous times that I’m not very well versed in how claymore stack up to each other. It was just my opinion that Clare defeating Priscilla seemed premature, after seeing some arguments suggesting otherwise, I’m beginning to change that opinion.

@ Siva: >> So, i was right?

Seems that way.

As for Raki seeing Clare kill Priscilla, would he even recognize Priscilla in the state that she is right now? She doesn’t exactly resemble the loli Raki knows, unless she reverts right before she dies or something. That would probably take a heavy toll on Raki.

@ Son Gohan: Plotholesssss. Yea they suck, but there was no way around it, they just didn’t have the time to address those issues.

Hey, those unresolved story lines would make great plots for a second season, if the popularity of the series allows it.

“I think that the reason why it wasn’t used in the Ligardes fight is because Madhouse is saving it for the finishing move Clare uses against Priscilla.”
- So, i was right?

“Firstly, as mentioned above, Clare shouldn’t be anywhere close to powerful enough to match Priscilla.”
-Not a big deal here, after u see the scene where they show Clare’s face become Teresa’s face, do u got what i mean?

“I for one, will not complain, as long as it’s not something stupid like Clare befriending Priscilla, Nanoha style (beamspam first, questions later).”
- I dont think that will be the question of the ending, but my question is what is Raki going to do if he saw Clare going to kill Priscilla? LOL

What is worry me the most is where they show Clare standing with 6 Claymore Swords around her as tombstones at the ending song. Did they really mean it?

“Manga countdown: 2 weeks.” Still countdown yet? i think it should be already reset to 0 from last week, :)

@Guido: “That’s something Star Wars: ROTS”
- So i wont be complain if Clare use Lightsaber instead of Claymore sword.

@Cliff “but if the series end with clare somehow reverting back to normal i’ll just be really mad at madhouse turning claymore into a the good guys win and still get everything type of anime.”
- lol, i think u forget something, this time we have “two” instead of “one”, and i even guess it maybe 3 this time.

@Silvering: “but it would be interesting to see all the other good-guy Claymores join the battle as well.”
- I think they save Priscilla for Clare only and the rest of Claymores maybe save for those “guys”, lol, i would not surprised if the rest of Claymores awaken altogether.
“Galatea vs. Miata”
- I’m dying to see this one, i heard this one is sometime in October right?

@SHiN_aKuMa: “Anyway, it could be impossible for Raki to go to Clare. He doesn’t know where she is. If he knew, it would take them hours to reach the volcano considering heavy snow fall, Jeane injured and a group of Awakened Beings in the area.”
- There is nothing impossible that cant be happened now, they can make everything to this point, why cant they make the other impossible things to be possible? Would it be surprise if they show the other 2 Abyss combine together and defeat Isley?

@Kabitzin: u got the point which is some people here dont get it and just dont want to accept it. And it is just like George did.

@Max: “I have no problem seeing Priscilla get defeated by Clare this early.”
- It doesnt matter if they can lie it to us and make sense enough for us to believe it. I guess Shirukii though that too.

I already guess what madhouse want to do with that scene and what is the hint behind it. What i guess is they want to show us that Clare is starting to gain Teresa’s power but she wont be able to defeat Priscilla by now until Clare got the fully true Teresa’s power during the battle between Clare and Priscilla.

Granted Clare would need more learning/training to get close to Priscilla’s power but I consider quick emotional outburst or being in an extreme situation that makes it reasonable for one to achieve what seemingly is unachievable during that time. And being this an anime with Clare having parts of Teresa in her, I considered that very likely. I have no problem seeing Priscilla get defeated by Clare this early.

As well, Clare killed Teresa (a totally great character which deserves more face time) earlier in the story but the writer compensated by putting her on Clare, along with her strength. So it’s so okay to get Priscilla’s head at the end of the anime by Teresa too.

As well, I think this person from animesuki said it better

Revolutionist —

“Teresa was the strongest #1 Claymore of all time, she effortlessly defeated Priscilla 1on1 by only releasing 10% of her power, while Priscilla went ~80%. She probably could’ve defeated an Awakened Priscilla by only releasing maybe 10-20% of her power.

Clare is releasing 80% or more of her yoki, and my guess is the more she releases and the more yoma she becomes the stronger Teresa’s “powers” grow inside, which should explain why Priscilla mistakes Clare for Teresa.

The fact is, even by manga standards, nobody really knows Clare’s true potential, she’s a wild card, so someone saying she can’t defeat Priscilla means absolutely nothing.”

——————-

Two things I don’t get is one, why people hate Raki so much, if it’s for having so much face time, I can understand that, but hating him for crying, whining and not being of help? Well he’s not excatly up to fight baddies of his age and level so it’s just fine to whine. Second, why so much flame on deviation? Anime is diferent from manga. It’s not like Madhouse ripped of Nagi and came up with and proclaimed it the one, true and original Claymore story.
