Don’t look unless you want to be spoiled~
The hell? Her awakened form is a little… bleh. The main character’s shit should be more epic.
for the form
Spoiler
She gets super speed from it. Lion dude is hella fast-- he basically tore up everyone. Then Claire just completely outpaces him and, well-- ggs.
Clare
Spoiler
Though she owns Ligardes in that form, that still doesn’t mean it’s not fucking retarded looking. If that what Clare looks like in an awakened state, I really, REALLY hope she just becomes like Teresa and rarely uses Yoma. Cause if we have to watch fights subjected to that garbage…I mean come on, Skullomania Ichigo looks better than that.
On the subject of the Abyssal Ones, I’ve always imagined that Isley has some sort of contingency plan regarding Pris and what to do if she gets out of line with his ideals. He just seems like the kind of guy who goes into a knife fight with a knife, a gun, some C4 planted at all the doors and windows and sniper support. Still, we’ll have to wait and see. And Stabby, Isley and Ligardes’ Awakened forms DO own all the others looks wise, at least IMO. That BS we see Clare, Luciela, Pris and Jean do is wack, Riful’s awakened form is like the only one out of the female cast I like. I want some crazy, FF summon looking shit if we’re gonna get all these monster fights with Half Awakeneds and Abyssals and their cronies. Hell, I’d rather have the Awakened forms look like Godzilla or Power Rangers monsters than most of what we get. 
Oh, and one more thing. Riful sounds like one adorable little killer in the anime.
Ligardes looks ten times better than all of the Claymore Awakened forms put together.
What the fuck, Yagi.
Nairdas:
SPOILER TAG DAMNIT.
i have to agree with Ifinidragon on the awakended subject. riful is probably the only female that looks good. Jean and that other broad on her intial team looked wack as hell! Isley and Ligardes are definetly the best designed awakens imo. The current #1 and Clare both look retarded.
I thought Clare’s awakened form was simply the result of her awakening certain parts of her body? So if she’d fully awakened she’d look different?
Also, as much as Teresa dying sucks ass, the fact that she was that stupendously powerful means that Clare will become at least half as powerful as she is. And I figure her reduced Yoma ratio means she’ll be able to better manage controlled awakenings.
My bad.
Isley
[details=Spoiler]Sorry, I still think Isley looks stupid. I’ve never been able to appreciate centaurs, so that is probably a personal thing. Some of the male awakened ones they fought had cools designs, IMO, but no one comes to mind.
And Riful said that Isley signed up under Priscilla as her general, not that he was using her. If she is as strong as all that (a combination of two or three abyssal ones only having a chance of taking her down), then I think he just joined her because he didn’t want to get fucked up all by himself.[/details]
manga stuff
Spoiler
Not to discount that Isley could indeed just have jobbed to Pris (after all, everyone else in this fucking series that isn’t Teresa does) but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he wouldn’t divulge his evil plot to Riful, being his adversary and competition. If everyone believes he a subordinate, all the better for him if he does have a screw job in mind.
ok i’m so hooked on this anime. I found out about it here on srk and read this thread when i didn’t know anything.
Now that i know names and shit, i would like to avoid this thread until i catch up in the manga.
So can anyone pm me where the anime stops in the manga? I just watched episode 15 and want to read the manga.
ok just caught up on the anime and manga. omg this is anime is so beastly. I might have to change out my beloved av for one with theresa and clare. The twin goddesses!
edit - can someone hook me up with the one-shots or specials. I couldn’t find those.
http://shoryuken.voiea.net/uploads/Comics/Claymore/Claymore_Extra1.rar ??? Was it that hard to find?
MangaHelpers.com states August last I checked, but Novemeber sounds waaaaaaay far.
Anyway Ep. 15 felt a bit slow, but from the looks of it you can pretty much get away with anything if you have Yoma power :P.
EDIT:
Raki
Spoiler
lol, for those that wish Raki should just die, you def. know he’s gonna have a role after the skip, heck I wouldn’t surprised if he got Yoma power in him and he became the final one Clare fights at the end of the series.
thanks a lot stabby. Yeah i couldn’t find it, didn’t think to look at your upload site.
is there only one side story though?
So far, yeah. I think Claymore is a monthly manga? I don’t even know.
With him and Pris, you know he going to tap that loli ass eventually. Then he’ll contract some sort of mega yoma STD and become supa powwaful. Or he might get yoma AIDS and die like a bitch. One can only hope.
Damn it, I just started watching Claymore yesterday and made it all the way up to episode 15 and I thought the shit was so good that I’d read the manga… So, I’ve completely caught up with the manga and I’m waiting for volume 13, chapter 74 to come out. My problem is I don’t even know where to fucking look for that shit when the time comes.
Its not out until November, I think, and random sidestories are coming out until then.
I don’t even know-- I just hope Teresa comes back.
