THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well.. seems they're really going for the original ending, since they're re-writing and adding scenes, as there's stuff that did not happen in the manga, although I wont elaborate...

Really gory episode. Lots of limbs flying around.
With some strategy the Claymores managed to get a more or less balanced battle... that is until the tables turned. And a pretty bad turn for that matter. The fights were done nicely, not as great as I expected but I can't complain.
While they were battling in Pieta, Raki finds out that Priscilla is an awakened being... and acts annoying. Just as if he could stop Priscilla from eating...

I really interested in what will they do with the ending. Good thing I haven't rated the show yet, coz the ending is gonna have a big word in it. And whatever they do... I don't think they can surpass the way the manga is going now.

Was indeed a gory episode, but the fights were good. I don't think Raki acted in an annoying way, it's not like he knows as much as we do. What's so bad about trying to stop her? Also, it's not that you can't change your rating at any point of time. :)

I thought we'd see a more varied collection of Awakened Beings but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Though the Lion King is an interesting character. Looking forward to the next ep.

Crap! I wanted Jeane to survive or at least get a hit off. I guess this disappoints manga fans, but I'm still in love with this show. I hope theres another season!

I was a little confused on how if they sent the weakest 3 which had almost impenetrable skin, how the higher up Awakeneds were easily defeated considering it's 27 A vs 24 C, but it it all works out I guess since there's 1 leader left standing, I'm curious to see if Raki will get eaten next episode.

its weird how they changed the anime from manga, although Raki was very confused to what is an awakened being, he should have asked Lesley about it, and I don't think that Raki will be eaten, that will change the whole plot of the story, anyways I am looking forward to the next episode, Claire should look cool in combat, she is getting very hiped up.

I really want to know what will happen next but if you say that anime is different than manga now so there is no point in reading manga now. Great gore episode.

Undine put up a fight, Jeane created an opening for Lion King and prolly got what she deserved, Flora didn't even get the chance to react and Clare got smacked around like a fly. So what's in store for Miria? i dare not speak =X

Interestingly enough, the manga and anime have their differences, but not by a whole lot. There were some added scenes, but I wonder about those... The interesting one is Priscilla and Raki the cave. I won't say anymore about. I am looking forward to the next episode. I think it's going to be awesome.

Aww, I was just starting to like Undine. Poor Deneve though.

When I saw Rigardo's true form, I was like "Oh crap, ohcrapohcrap." And did I just see him holding Miria's head in the next episode preview?

Oh crap.

And I don't blame Raki. He got considerably close to Priscilla, and remind me again what happened to his family? She was crying, which really made her different from a normal yoma/awakened being in Raki's eyes, so it's only natural that he'd try to help her.

I think I'm going to pick up the manga, but only after I finish the anime. I'm sure the manga is better at some points, but I don't want to join the "Omg the anime is killing the manga" crowd.

I'm with AngelLily. Might as well finish the anime before i start the manga. If the anime's ending doesn't satisfy, then i've always got the manga to read. I don't want to join that "anime killing the manga" crowd either.

As for the episode, it was pretty good. The pacing is slowly declining though...but i'm sure everyone else would know that by now. I expect to catch up with the rest of you by the end of today.

Ricardo's a pretty bad mo fo if he can just wipe away a Claymore's lower half like that! He made the ep for me. The Awakened are interesting characters especially the former No 1's that I've seen and Ricardo & Priscilla. I don't think I want to give them the label of "not all bad" though.

I fucking swear the scene where Raki tries to stop Priscila was the most emotionally wrenching scene I've watched in a while. I'm talking about Priscila, dunking her head deep into human innards, crying because she's a monster of the same kind who killed her family, Raki is upset and crying because the sweet little girl turned out to be a monster, and on top of that, we have seen how incredibly goddamn powerful is Priscila and Raki is a puny little human against her...

This scene made the chapter. I fucking swear.

There's some really interesting differences from this episode to the manga eg.
1) They actually show some fights before Rigardo says 'We've lost 3, they've lost 5' (go gore!)
2) Raki actually learns what Priscilla is

That was one unexpected bloodbath, with a lot of characters buying the farm. That Ricardo fella is very, very strong.

I guess this is all original anime territory. I think I'm definitely gonna read the manga next.

Since when Raki has been necessary character?:D All he has been whineing, crying and been rescued from situations where wouldnt been in a first place,if he had listened Clare.
Too bad that YomaClaymore didnt kill Raki, when he was held as a hostage...

Easley, please, kill that stupid boy for me already -.-'' I won't stand more of his 'protecting Clare' bullshit and then crying once more... geez... oh, and looking as stupid child when they're talking about Pieta's masacre almost freely :D

instead Flora was killed just like that? o.o and Undine when I finally started to like her... well, it was predictable after last episode but still. and now Miria is gonna die as well I guess... this sucks :<

but still looking forward to the next ep. as far this anime is awesome! (just cutting out this boy's annoying part :P)
