Loved this episode, and i had a laughing fit when clare asked if raki wanted her to demonstrate how she can immitate a prostitute :L. I liked the new weapon choice though the claymore is so much more beasty.

Curfew = Heavily Armored Knights hunting people on rooftops, isn't it?

Atleast in this case, and considering they're normal humans, to do that, they must be quite in shape.

what the hell did they teach at that boot camp? if shes really good at acting like that, why? since everyone can pretty much spot them most of the time would acting really be necessary?

Necessary for covert operations.

Great episode, but damn Raki didn't want to see how Clare demo prosti hehe

it would have been too much for him to handle at that young age, lol
*clearly forgetting the fact that he's seen more deaths and more demon slaying that any of us will witness our entire lives.*

I have a feeling that the main priest is Yoma for some reason. -.^

Why the fk does she keep saving them? Didn't she say she wouldn't save anyone, and wouldn't even step in if Raki got beat up by those guards? Lol

It seems so obvious that the priest is the Youma? and why is Clare evens aving those guys?

She looks cute in her full human form BTW:

Oh snap what a cliffhanger! Can't wait to see what happens next! I'm also anxious to know more about Clare; her past and how close she is to transform into a Yoma.

The fighting scenes are entertaining stuff, this series is so hooking, really!

Yeah I cringed. It's one of those moments to show the guards "Oh so she is willing to sacrifice herself for us how wrong were we to treat her so poorly before".

I really dig the soundtrack they have, I loved Clare's outfit and weapons this episode. I love when she just zoomed past the guards going into the cathedral i thought it was kind of funny.

Clare looks really lovely with her normal eyes. There's a certain charm to her stoicism, she may be expressionless but she's not emotionless. As for the yoma, I think that it's hiding in the crypts. It's the perfect hiding spot for someone who doesn't want to leave the cathedral and no one would suspect a corpse.

It does seem a little out of character that Clare would protect those knights considering how calculated she's been up until now. My guess is Raki is influencing her and slowly thawing her human heart.

I wasn't sure about this show after the first two episodes, so I took a break, played some Street Fighter 5 and returned for the third one and I gotta say... that one hooked me. Although the first two made a solid base for the story, they did not really engage me too much.
And much of it was kinda Raki's perspective on the subject at hand.

NOW we get to see more of Clare, the conflict on the roof with the knights, and all that roof jumping, the stealthy spy mission, the church going against their convictions to save their butts... there was a lot to love.

A great balance of story and action, although I get the feeling that behind the beautiful art, the animation is rather cheap with lots of camera movement through static landscapes and suggested movement rather than fully animated movement.

After two episodes I thought I would drop it soon, giving it a rating of Average (5), but now I rate it overall a Good (7) and I hope that digit will rise some more after tonights batch of episodes.

Why does it start off with Clair naked in front of that creepy dude? ugg he's bad news
with her fighting in that sexy outfit it kinda gave off a magical girl type feel. Anyone else agree?

I just ... I dont even know what to say, epic episode.
Clare's is obviously going to be fine but ... this Yoma is strong AF.

Wonder if they're going to find the Yoma in daylight by seeing who's lost their eye or has a cut in his/her arm. - Probably not because they can regenerate, at least I assume by looking at Clare.

Episode 3 and Clare is already contradicting her principles. Why would you put your life at risk to protect the guys who tried to kill you just minutes ago...?

I wish claymores used more types of weapons tbh, i know this is years later, but im watching the anime for the first time because i've finished the manga years ago but forgot everything.


its sad that after this short arc she goes back to the super boring white costume and claymore,

it would be interesting seeing more spears used.
