| Explanatory episode, but it was good nevertheless. Out of what's been told a lot of good things are indeed going to happen, especially regarding the next arc if you believe what the manga readers among us are saying. The Endless Gravestones by itself sounds pretty interesting already. Even Raki is going to fight it seems. I don't know if it's new, but they changed some bits of the OP translation. I wasn't bored watching this episode even though there was a lot of talking but yeah, it all made sense so everything's good. Looking forward to more. Screenshots: |

| A great episode story wise. With a few revelations. We finally have our answer to what happened to Clare in episode 4. It only gets better from here. |
| A good episode, its been a while since i read this part in the manga so its kinda fresh for me. Looking forward to "The Endless Gravestones" |
 |
| Haven't watched it yet, will do later =) |
| nice episode indeed, wanna have next one fast :D |
     |
| Well I actually loved it. (I always like plot/character-development episodes) I don't want mindless fighting all the time. Good to know some more background and good to see the plot and characters develop a bit. I was surpised with the revelation on them being in half-awakened state. It's logical though. I also liked how the tension raised up in some scenes, even though they weren't fighting. And seems Clare's ability is expanding. Since she was able to sense Galatea's presence from that far away. I'm definitely looking foward to the next arc. I'm guessing that new claymore in the preview (which is one of those that appear in the intro as well) is one of the top five? And Raki is finally going to use his sword ^^ ... promissing~ |

| Lots of talking, but it was definitely important to the development of the plot. I think Kayrhandros hit the nail on the head with his assessments. I don't mindless fighting either... the main reason many shounen type shows have recently been a turn off for me. Great job to everyone who made hypotheses in previous threads. If we weren't right, we were darn close to it. Good stuff. As for the who Clare faces... I'll make a wild guess and say is Ophelia. At first glance she looks like the Claymore that was telling Miria to hurry up and awaken, so she could fight her. I'm not too sure since I couldn't see her symbol in the preview. The Endless Gravestones arc. I've been reading about how great his is going to be. I hope I don't overhype it for myself. Finally, get to see Raki fight. I really want him to get stronger. The whining type annoys me some, but if there's personal growth and development, I come to really like those type of characters. It' s been a while since I've looked forward to the next episode of series as soon as I watched it. Claymore so far has the makings to be one of my all time favorites, but I won't make that call yet. |
   |
| yea i think its Ophelia that Clare's gonna face on next episode. =S |

cyruz said: I don't know if it's new, but they changed some bits of the OP translation. Yeah I reacted on that to. Changed the "Woe me, woe me, love me" part. Pretty good episode, didn't remember all things what Miria said so yeah, it was refreshing. Should re-read the first volumes again. Looking forward to next week a lot =) |
| They changed the lyrics because the OP single was out and with it, the official lyrics. A very interesting episode indeed. Development is way better than fighting all the time. Am I the only one that is dead curious to when Clare will have a cool nickname like "Teresa of the Faint Smile" and "Phantom Miria"? XD |
| what number was the claymore that was spying on em from a distance? |
     |
| Darkvoltage: Galatea is number three of the seventyeight generation. ... And I say, this episode actually was quite interesting, seeing how you saw that flashback...It was not there in the manga (or was it?)...And that flashback even introduced Ophelia... |
AngelLily said: And "Flashsword Irene" ^^. I'm looking forward to see Clare getting a nickname too. Apparently only the top claymore have them though. So Clare needs to work her way there... or make some heads roll...Am I the only one that is dead curious to when Clare will have a cool nickname like "Teresa of the Faint Smile" and "Phantom Miria"? XD darkvoltage said: It was number 3, Galatea. (edit: took to long to write^^)what number was the claymore that was spying on em from a distance? mild_even said: Yeah... though her air didn't quite seem similar, it's probably Ophelia. Since I've been hearing her name pop out a lot. (Fortunately no manga reader managed to spoil me yet.) And the arc's name seems to match her personality (or what we've heard of her).As for the who Clare faces... I'll make a wild guess and say is Ophelia. At first glance she looks like the Claymore that was telling Miria to hurry up and awaken, so she could fight her. I'm not too sure since I couldn't see her symbol in the preview. |

| Liked the episode a lot, don't need blooddrippin immense action to make a good episode =D |

I would have to say it's going to be Ophelia as well although I hoped they would have saved her for later. The preview mentions a warrior and path painted in blood, and considering it's been said that Ophelia is obsessed with blood, it's going to be her... |
  Dibs on Ishida! |
| Awesome episode!!!! I enjoy plot-revealing episodes! Besides, it seems like next episode will be well, very bloody! oh yeah, it'll probably be Ophelia.. ahaha, though in the preview Raki looked very bloodied up, so I have a feeling he'll suck at fighting. |

I'd hate to get my hopes up too high for this show, but judging by how they dealt Clare's 'power-up' during the last episode, I doubt they'd go ahead and screw up now by making Raki an expert sword-fighter within one episode. Gah, it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't even know how to hold it Dx *would love to see Raki suffer under Clare's harsh training, though!* |
Meli said: *would love to see Raki suffer under Clare's harsh training, though!* Yes yes yes! lol I'm glad they took a little time off in this episode to explain things. Sometimes I feel like a big idiot watching shows where everything is only hinted at or glossed over really quickly. :) I'd rather have an episode here and there be slow and explanatory than be lost for the majority of the series. |

That would be hilarious. Yeah, I think it's weird when people do not like plot episodes.. I love violence in anime a lot, I think it's awesome.. But I hate shallow violence, it's not as interesting.. |
| Shallow violence can be a lot of fun, and it definitely has its place. :) But Claymore wouldn't be as good if it was all that. So far, I think it's struck a pretty good balance. Except for that one episode with the Yoma in the church - he was just way too chatty. :P |

| This episode was great. Though it is sad that Clare has to watch her back. You'd think the organization would treat it's members like crap. |
 |
| Nice episode with more story, than action. The organization is just too suspicous... Hope , Miria won't be killed so fast. |
| If history is to be changed, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it! If my fate is to be destroyed, I must simply laugh! |
| I actually appreciated this ep more than anything. Things have been going at lightning speed in this series. And they took time to explain things to you & keep it interesting. I had a hard time believing the organization was trustworthy from the second or third ep. |
 |
| well they just explained why they were all there: they are troublemakers close to awakening; anyone else thinks this sounds sort of like bleach? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| God, this show is turning out to be great. And, I'm no fan of Shounen either. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Great episode. I loved it. The lack of action wasn't disappointing given the amount of it in the two episodes prior. There was a lot of explanation, and a lot of conjecture that leads to conjecture on my part. I am definitely beginning to feel like there is something far more sinister about the organization than has been let on up to this point. I'm definitely on the edge of my seat for more action and story. This is fantastic. |

| I actually liked his episode MUCH better. Such good info. LOVED IT! |
  |
| finally they realize that the organization is a huge pile of pooh. |
| Now I want to know about this organization, and the process of making Claymores/Yomas The #1-5 Claymores too Nice, it's good that their bonds is now stable |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Great episode. Ever since Teresa appeared this show seems so much better now. Even though they talked a lot this episode I was drawn in. |
| Aww, damn! It was a setup! The agency is crooked!! Bastards! |
 |
| Good episode. Rate: 7/10. |
| Nice to learn more about the organisation. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Good information for this episode |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| Nice explanatory episode but the overall pacing of the plot in the past few episodes is a little slow for my taste. Hope things start to pick up again in the next one |
| love a good explanation somtimes or a good character development story. claire is at the very bottom, but in time she'll probably be the perfect warrior against awakened beings |
     |
| A Very interesting episode :D |
 |
| So there can be more semi Awakened Claymore? Nice. They'll just keep getting stronger and stronger. Love the names of the Claymores BTW. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Ah, so they have to fight other claymores and Yomas now? I guess it was pretty bland that all their enemies were the same! |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Great episode. A little information about who's the top 5 now and other stuff. Want to see more awesome fights ! |
 |
| Seriously, this is like third informative ep for 11 episodes overall. Well, I don't really mind much, because Claymore tends to make even the informative episodes interesting ones. My only problem with them is that I just can't wait for the story to progress further xD The old man is indeed an old fox xD But anyway, it seems that the yoma wasn't lying that there is something ambiguous about the Claymore lineup. I just wonder if the Organization is afraid of the Awakened because they doesn't really know what might be the case with them or it's the opposite - they are afraid of the awakened because they know what awaits them in their future. |
  |
| Half awakened he, this is great story development, I liked this chapter! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| Once again a great episode :3, can`t wait to see the top 5 in action. |
