Saw ep 3, NEED ep 4 damnit!

apparently Clare becomes... awake? [ack*]

Also, my voice sources are confuzzled...

I'm thinking Houko Kuwashima but it's also listed elsewhere as Mamiko Noto.

Could it be the same person? [the voices are too damn close]

Ep. 4 haven't come out yet afaik. they just released ep. 3.

Haven't seen episode 3 yet though. Can't find it, subbed :(

Anyway, seems like a promising Anime, although it seems to be one of those animes ending bad.

[spoiler]Awakened* and it's important that you see that ep, because it's important in later developments.[/spoiler]

So far I'm likin' it, they're staying pretty true to the manga, and some scenes are copied almost religiously. I guess I don't know if that's what usually happens, given the fact that this is the first time I've read the manga that an anime was based on. But still. >_> I mean...look at this:

Next is going to be intersting, but really ep 5 is what I am looking forward to. That, and all the eps following. That's when the story gets real good ^^

And I too have noticed the "religious" copying. But it's Madhouse, and they follow the mainsource excellently like that (eg Death Note) so I am not at all surprised.

*so impatient at the moment* I want it out nooow

Of 5? Subs are out, too. :X

[spoiler]I noticed that they left out a little bit, such as explaining how 7 yoma were staying in a town that didn't notice their presence (only killing at surrounding villages) but it's still pretty true to that manga. I expected Teresa's smile to be a little more...noticeable. You wouldn't know that she was smiling unless it was pointed out that she was.[/spoiler]

I think the series really picked up during episode 3. During the first two episodes, I was kind of on the fence, but now I'm dying for more.

Teresa is smoking hot. I wonder how gross the Claymores' fronts are that the bandits are repulsed.

I'm guessing it's like nasty discolorations along with visual deformation...

[obviously they're not physical deformations or else they'd be all bulging/sinking through her outfit]

So probably on the lines of nasty looking scarring or what not... [or worse, lower abdomen area looking like it was hit by a train...]

No idea Clare was a *expletive* toy for the Yoma...

Wha?
I am so slow -.-

Anyhow I watched it now! Commenting time!

I too didn't really like the leftout of that. Also that the yoma who held her prisoner actually was her [spoiler]brother[/spoiler].
Nor did I not like they left out the part in Teresa's sleep, when in the manga[spoiler] she actually thought of her past and her beautiful black hair and how she missed it. Up until then, I wasn't aware the Claymores are actually paled in colour :/[/spoiler]

I also wish the Teresa beating Clare would have been a bit more ..erm... less PG :P Instead we get lame shots of the villagers looking shocked. Scene was awesome though, dont get me wrong (and I loved the ep) I just wished they would have tweaked certain parts.

Its fun though; I thought I recognized Teresa's VA, so I looked it up and TADA! The VA also does the job for Hitsugaya in Bleach. Man that VA is good

Meh, I felt that the first 4 eps were sort of average. Nothing except a promise of better things to come luring one in (which I know that better was to come so I watch somewhat faithfully :P)
I stand firm; it doesn't get good until now. Now we are the point of intruiging. And it can only grow from here.

Hey, does anyone know how many eps this is planned to be?

26 eps?

Good, they'll get the point across and probably have 0% filler.

You all know that Fillings make you fat right?

Always eat lean and be healthy in anime appetite... :D

hmm looks like the anime is segmenting Clare and the emo boy and Teresa and cute loli Clare, im guessing later on both of the characters are integrated?

Just started watching this today. I'm loving Claymore so far.
It started off kind of slow, but man after episode 3 it starts getting good.
Episode 7 is awesome. I swear if Teresa holds up against #5 - #2 using Yoki powers I will be an undoubted Teresa fanboy.
