It took 6-7 years of the manga releases to come up with the material for one season of claymore. I was wrong when i said that claymore will be weekly release in November but actually it will be in the new monthly mag Jump Square. So in order to see season two of claymore we will have to wait until 2012. Or the anime writers could just move forward with there version of the story.

Ah I see, I was basing my assumption on that laugh.gif

Pah. Oh well, 'Least we have more Haruhi~
Talon
I want more claymore! Claymore good!
Super Pancake
It seems like there might be two possible endings maybe three.

One is Clare defeats Priscilla and Jean pulls her back like she did for Jean in episode 17 I think. Which would leave Claymore open to at least an ova to clear up some of the plot holes or explore a different storyline.

Manga spoiler this actually does happen in the manga after Clare defeats Lion King and can't return, Jean uses her last bit of energy and pulls Clare back but in the process Clare awakened arms deliver the final blow to Jean ending her life

Two Clare defeats Priscilla, but Jean craps out so she can't save Clare. So then Raki finally grows a pair and cuts Clare's head off while she still has a human conscious. Clare fulfilling her promise that she would see Raki again and bringing closure since it was well established in the end Claymores become awakened beings. Pretty much leaves no room for an ova cause why bother Clare is dead.

And three Priscilla kicks ass defeats Clare and everybody else bringing hell on earth.

Or four an ending that comes out of left field leaving us in awe or sad and disappointed.











The Claymore Stat books came out but there raws so if you can read Japanese all the power to you but you can still understand the grade system

Claymore Stats:
Yoki (yoma power)
Agility
Strength
Mental
Sense
Leadership

Awakened Being Stats:
Yoki (yoma power)
Agility
Strength
Hardness
Intelligent

these links are online scans only the stats not the full comic

http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2005013660465566761 stats 1
http://i14.tinypic.com/4zdyhcw.jpg Clare was missing in stat book 1 online scan so i uploaded it, she is a weakling. But odd her sensing is a C when it seems like Clare excelled at it probably just as good or even better then Galatea in the manga and anime.

http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2004820716220584370 stats 2

If you want to download them get them at the links below the above links don't give the full comic just the stats

http://www.mediafire.com/?amzemdoijmc stat book 1

http://www.mediafire.com/?bgoayxlz8cb stat book 2

Teresa's stats are pretty high imagine her awakened stats and of course Priscilla's awakened stats are off the chain too.

been skimming through naruto shippuuden episodes from 17 to 28 man what drag

Episode 28 changed it up but that had to be one of the weakest Shippuden episodes ever, the ending was kinda bs too. Be stronger then you were yesterday I thought we were going to see team Gai go super saiyan or something the way they were talking. Why didn't they beat their doppelgangers like that from the begining
Argen
I'm pleased to hear that there will be more Haruhi, though it's to be expected on account of how popular it is.

I just got Banner of the Stars, and strangely I think I remember it better than it is. It's annoyingly slow. There's battles and stuff but it's all been uninteresting. I still like the characters, though, and I wish they spent more time on them.

It was kinda cool Priscilla did not fully awakened yet but that episode was a waste/filler in my opinion it did not add anything new except for the awakening. They should of battled and ended the fight, then the next episode we could have a somewhat resolution. Now episode 26 will have a short battle and some sort of ending.
Talon
What I want to know is, if they couldn't touch Pris before her complete awaking, how the *beep* will they manage it now?
Super Pancake
Clair will turn into a super saiyen, she probably is going to summon some hidden yoki she didn't know she had from Teresa.

Nah, we only have one episode left. Going super saiyen will take at least half a season.

I just about to watch it now~ So I'll edit when I have.

Actually going super siayan only takes a few minutes of screen time - its the pre-fight banter that takes 12 episodes

I have to agree with what was said earlyer ELFEN LIED RULES! A friend of mine let me borrow it a while ago and it was one of the best anime shows I have ever watched I am going to be buying my copy of the series tomorrow hopefully. My friend also has a sight where she makes costumes of anime shows and other things includeing a lot of Elfen Lied products, she just finished her Lucy costume and I must say it looks good.

CLAYMORE WTF WTF

WTH RAKI WHY!

CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

STFU and die ALREADY

Why did they do this to the anime? They could of easily followed the manga plot with the way it left off in June then deviate from the manga plot for season 2. Now we are going to get a season 2 with Raki whining the whole time, instead a Raki who gets bad ass sword training from Isley. Is he going to stop Clare from killing yoma next.

At least we know there maybe is a season 2 in the works.

Edit

I still cant believe how the show ended, Why Clare didn't do in Priscilla **** the Raki brat! Her whole being as a Claymore was to kill Priscilla. For a moment i thought it would have been Teresa all over agian I thought while Clare was distracted by Raki, Priscilla would of taken Clare's head. Also I'd like to point out a contradiction in the show why did Clare go all super saiyen when it seems like her specialty was yoma sensing and fighting accordingly to her senses. Why didn't Easley kill them he could of easily done it but instead he lets the Claymore that almost killed his precious Priscilla go.
Talon
Well I liked it, still my favourite series of the year. Although I have never read the manga, so I'm unaware of how they differ so that's largely impacting upon my opinion.
Super Pancake
How can you like it even if you did not read the manga its BS what Raki did and whats worse is Clare listened to him as if she listens to other people before. Priscilla should of been killed, whats even worse if claymore does not get a season 2 (which is likely at the moment despite the open ending) it will be one of the worst non endings ever.
Talon

How can you like it

Beast of Blood
Wait, so what I'm reading on this page some people weren't pleased with Claymore's ending either? I am... so dissapointed, Clare could have ENDED it there and then, but Raki just stopped her... why stop? All you've worked for your entire life and you can finish it? Damn, I'm glad it's a filler open ending otherwise I'd be PISSED.
Talon
I didn't mind them not killing Prisila off so much, she in some ways was a victim too. Clare beat her up and got her revenge, Teresa's ghost said she was satisfied so long as clare lived, and its left it open for them all to come back and have another go if need be. While I hate open ended endings, Claymore the anime did wrap up Clare's need for revenge, so in effect the only thing its left unresolved is the rebellion against the organisation - but the anime wasn't about that anyway, it was just an element that could go on for years to come.

Mind you if I had read the manga I would most likely hate it and want a word-for-word translation much like I wanted for Negima
Talon
Nice to see bleach is finally good again
Super Pancake
Claymore ES4 was released it was about How Clare finished her training and had to pass one final test to become an active Claymore. But the organizations are a bunch of asses they did not tell the trainees there was a Yoma in the final test. So 8 of 10 trainees ended up getting killed

Finally! After 2 seasons of cruddy Bleach intro's. We have a new and good intro for Bleach as well as the ending, it's brought back the fighting (the intro music and vid) and the romance (the ending music and bid) that was lost for a couple - or more - seasons.

Anybody watching Gundam 00 I was hoping a for something more like Turn a Gundam but an action packed Gundam is ok. So far its good in my opinion.

I am, watched first two episodes the other day, I've only seen some of Wing and currently 3/4 through SEED and I can honestly say Gundam 00 has exceeded my expectations by far, I'm liking it for what it is so far, though I don't have an opinion on the characters and their designs yet, since I don't really know much of the creator of Loveless' work.

I saw "Naurto in The Land of Snow." Or whatever the movie is called. It was pretty good really. Hehehe. I love Naruto. <3 That princess was a bit of a witch. Though I did like the ending of the movie. "That script." xD

In Blood+, I feel really bad for Riku. He didn't deserve to die that way at all. Why make him like Haji if he was going to die? That's so stupid & pointless. Timeskip eh? Omg, Kai looked looker in the last episode. Somehow, I had a feeling that Saya was going to show up. :3 So yeah.

I gave up on naruto a looooong time ago. When any storyline drags too damn long, I just lose interest fast.I don't care no matter how great the new saga or episodes are..... but seeing to much of the same damn characters over and over again gets tiring.

Madhouse Studios is making a Trigun movie

And Funimation are making their own anime channel... most likely only the US and Canada will get it though. That said, I never really rated Funimation, I think they are one of the poorest western anime companies even though they are a big one. I mean their dubs of Dragon Ball was sheer murder, although they did extremely well I admit on Fruits Basket.



When is this Trigun movie coming out??

Also i agree with ya on Fruit Basket, i watched all the episodes in Dub and it was good, one of the very few good Dubbed anime series together with DBZ and some others.

A Bad example of Dubbed anime is Naruto in english dub, just the way some characters say ''Naruto'' sounds strange and not right.


P.s. For anime news, i heard something about a real-life movie of Dragonball Z with real actors, didn't know if you heard this already, just thought i should mention it.
Talon
Yo

Anyone watching Code Geass? Its one of the greatest anime's of all time; season 1 is being released in North America at the mo, and season 2 is about a month away from completing in Japan.

Again, IT IS FLIGGING AWESOME!


However, the most recent episode of season 2 (19) has just sent the TV series on one curly wurly of a plot direction and I'm worried about how its going to end.

To all those watching it, am I the only one of Zero's side here? Everyone casts him as the villian, but - hello - they guy is trying to wipe out a neo-Nazi world Empire. Yes his means are through manipulation and lies, but he's a strategist, thats what he's supposed to do. What do the Black Knights expect, him to lead them to victory with no casaulties and whiter than white battle tactics?

Fact is, Zero is earth's best chance for freedom, and yes he's an anti-hero, and he's using some dodgy methods of victory, but he's a lot better than the Britannian Empire which is nothing but the Third Riech on sterodies.

Oh and I don't care what anyone says, Suzaku is a baddie; he might support the killing of civilians to further his career in some stupid belief that he can then change the system to save more civilians, but in the end he's still killing civilians and aiding an evil empire enslave billions of people.


... hell I'm worked up about this show - cause its that d**m good!

The Dragonball movie is going to suck. No Krillin, man! Plus, Goku's hair looks nothing like... Goku's hair.

I also heard the disheartening news that Keanu Reeves is going to be playing Spike in a Cowboy Bebop movie. I always wanted that role, so a part of me died when I heard that news... But at least it will be a big budget film and hopefully not suck. But then again, it's ****ing Keanu Reeves! Of course it will suck!

I do like C.C., and Kallen. They're both hot.

I take it you haven't seen season two then? Its awsome, but I'm worried about the ending cause its getting darker. I'll try not to spoil anything for you, although I'm bursting to talk about it to someone.

But what do you think about Zero and Suzaku? A lot of forums I see say Suzaku is the goodie and Zero and the black knights are the villians. Yet they seem to ignore Suzaku is fighting for an evil empire no matter how good his intentions are; its like in WW2 a citizen of an occupied country selling out the resistance and fighting for the Nazis in some stupid beleif that then Nazis will start liking him, hence like his race, hence stop killing everyone. Meanwhile Sazuka ignores that the Britannians routinely kill massive numbers of civilians and treat other races as slaves. Peronally I think the's pond-slime. I mean, look at the first think Suzaku does with the Lancelot knight? He's charges out to kill the Black Knights calling them warmongers etc? What have the black knights done to deserve this? They've attacked a Britannian unit that was in the middle of butchering thousands of civilians.

Seriously Suzaku is evil and needs to die.

And I also hate Nina, she's such a racist b*tch. I mean, a lot of the Britannian characters are just power-hungry occupiers, but she's pure xenophobia, a little Death Camp operator in the making.

C.C. can say anything with a straight face. Especially to Lelouch. Kallen's just a butt kicker.

No. They just started airring it several weeks ago. Darker? How? Good. I don't want to. (Even if I've seen music videos.)

I don't know. I'm neutral on the thing. I don't know who's side to take. But I agree with Zero/Lelouch about Britannia. Suzaku saw the destruction that they caused when they attacked Japan. Then calling them "elevens" like they're ants. They even call him a "eleven" even if he's working for them. It's like Britannia is looking down on them as ants. And someone has to defend the innocent. Even if Suzaku doesn't see it that way. (I think.)

I think that he needs to change his views.

The thing about Britannia is it’s a Social Darwinist society (although I hate that term as Darwin was an advocate of equality among races and was in no way shape or form a racist). They believe in the strong having control over the weak, so they are at war with everyone else in the world (at the time of the show they are at war with the E.U. and the Middle East, and they have a Cold War going on with China). To the Britannians, winning the war with Japan ‘proves’ that they are genetically superior and the Japanese are inferior.
I haven’t seen the English dub yet because its not been released over here so I don’t know if they’ve toned down the Britannians Nazism, but certainly in the original Japanese the Britannian Empire is a Nazi-esque state.

No, the blonde’s Milly (the president). Nina’s the girl with classes who fancies Eurphemia. Again I haven’t seen the English dub so I don’t know if they’ve toned her down her racism, but in the Japanese version she’s a big supporter of genocide despite the shy exterior.
