Were all those random identical Claymores supposed to be hallucinations or are they really just a bunch of faceless identical drones? Also who was that girl? I've reread the series once but that was a while ago and I still don't remember who she is. I had it all straight before this stupid loving time skip. The chapters are all short and I don't know what's going on and I feel like a cranky old man.

Miria was my favorite character and the only one I could tell apart from the others

So, which arc should I read again to find out who Hilda is? I can't seem to remember her. EDIT: vvv Oh, right - she was that one. Thanks. Well, that makes the last scene all the more for me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Claymore_characters#Hildaquote:Hilda was formerly number 6 of the Organization. She was active at the same time as Miria and they were close friends. When she reached her limit, she gave her black card to Ophelia asking her to pass it on to Miria. Ophelia instead ripped it apart, condemning her to become an Awakened Being. She was later hunted down by a team including Ophelia and Miria. Hilda was slain by Miria, who at that time didn't realize her identity. After Miria realized it was Hilda she had just killed, she temporarily lost control of her Yoki powers which led her to partially Awaken. I remember her now

Those claymores at the end were the people Miria defeated without killing when she entered the base a couple chapters ago.

I've defended the series for quite a while now, but sleeping on this chapter over night, I really don't like this development. It feels like such a waste of so many potential good storylines, ending it like that.

It doesn't make identification any easier when most of the girls have very different appearances when they start to release youki, even when it's not a fully-body complete release. As far as this chapter goes... I honestly don't even recall who anyone is there except the guy in the trenchcoat. I'm not really sure how to tell half the cast apart, much less capable of identifying them. I do like the flow of fights, but that's all I actually read for. What does this girl's death cut off as far as possible storylines?

ZeeToo posted:What does this girl's death cut off as far as possible storylines? She is the second most important protagonist in the series next to Clair. She is the leader of the surviving Claymores that Clair fought with and the driving force for overthrowing the organization. Clair has her own objective, but everyone else is following Miria's lead. If she is actually dead, then that entire side of the plot dies with her and we move on to whatever the gently caress it is Clair wants to do (kill Priscilla and find that boy I guess). Considering how much development Miria's plot had ending it like this would make it seem rather unresolved. Slowpoke! fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Sep 4, 2010 |

Nice job bringing her back after god knows how long last chapter, and then killing her off in this one. Unless Yagi pulls something else out of his rear end and she lives, but I doubt that. Helen's the only one left that I really like, she better live I tell the characters apart by the hairstyles, and sometimes the facial structure. They're different enough that I can at least keep track of the more important ones.

Well, Helen and Galatea are still around, hopefully one of them makes it through to the end alive so one of the characters I like doesn't die a stupid pointless death.

I keep trying to figure out what to post in regard to this chapter but the best I can come up with is WHAT THE gently caress, YAGI. What are you thinking? What the hell was all that time spent on if you were just going to end it like this. And I can't even tell what would be worse; if he left it like this or pulled some Kubo-level asspull next week to fix things.

New chapter's out Man this monthly format is really messing with my ability to follow the plot. Did the Clare/Priscilla thing ever get resolved? Are we constantly on a cliffhanger for that? I am totally uninterested in these generic Claymores and only mildly interested in Miria. Maybe Galatea too.

There is no reference of time any more and it's really confusing the poo poo out of me. Plus how the gently caress did they get Awakened Beings to smash up a city? The entire point of the island was to figure out how to control Awakened Beings since they just smash anyone and anything on sight since they can't be reasoned with.

So, the most obvious resolution to this would be having them rescue Raki and possibly Miria. Raki would then fulfill his primary pre-timeskip role and shout "Clare-san!" over and over until Clare comes out of her weird cocoon with a powerup. Raki being there might even temporarily resolve the problem with Priscilla. No telling if things will actually be that straightforward, naturally.

Well, I guess if Miria isn't dead then this manga is still worth reading. Kind of confused about what they're going to do with the Claireblob.

It actually felt like the plot moved a bit this chapter. I wouldn't be surprised if what Serious Frolicking wrote happens, though it could also be horribly not that straightforward and we could go a year before returning to Clareblob. Wouldn't mind if Miria was alive, but it feels like a bit of a cop-out if she is.

So let's guess what's up with Raki. I think it's obvious: what do we know can resist the Assimilation Spears? Something with even stronger youki than the Twin Tower of Power. Which pretty much means....Priscilla. Raki has something from Priscilla (whatever it is that gives Claymores their power) stuck in his back the way Teresa had something stuck in her stomach area, and that's what the Organization guy was reacting to. In other words, he's turned himself into a male claymore. EDIT: Well, I guess there's a hole in that theory since he doesn't show the obvious physical signs (other than being able sword things to death that usually only claymores can). On the other hand, the brown-haired claymore shows that that's not a hard and fast rule. Maybe he's just really weak. Sindai fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Nov 1, 2010 |

So I just finished watching Claymore on netflix streaming. I know the anime and manga kind of split at a certain point, so if I want to pick up the story in the manga which chapter would I need to start on?

Bare minimum I would start with the "The Battle of the North", which starts at chapter 50.

All the dudes in black are just going in and laughing about how nasty that gaping rear end in a top hat is. The spikes didn't turn him because of all his experience with being penetrated.

Wow, a whole lot happened this chapter. Potential resurrected number 1's (with awesome names), an explanation for why Raki didn't turn, roving parasite carriers, and a new character who actually has a distinctive hairstyle. But really, that's great. Raki didn't tame Priscilla and he is not special in any way.

Are people really still complaining about telling characters apart after a hundred chapters? It's one thing to forget who someone actually is, but the author should get some sort of hairstylist award for making dozens of identical women immediately recognizable using nothing more than the tops of their heads.

I think the point is that the author made some (a lot of) effort in the hair. Look at the the intricate curls! We're looking at a lead or he's setting up a soul-crushing death. But the possibility of a Teresa ghola is making me giddy. Claymore is awesome again.
