Good episode, though, after reading the manga I was a bit disappointed at some bits.

Very awesome ep, can't wait for the next one seeing as how they chose an interesting place to end this ep.

Is it me or does Flora's voice not fit her? I was expecting a different voice for her.

QFT

This was a great episode. I especially loved this little gem that Flora drops:
"In my team Number Thirty-Nine and Number Forty-Seven will probably be useless."

I was just waiting for Clare to show her how inaccurate that statement was.

Part of me wants to try and hold out for a few weeks worth of episodes so I don't have to wait through all these cliffhangers but I'm afraid I have no self control =(

Another good episode although I agree there wasn't enough animation for all that action going on. Claymores are dropping left and right so Clare can't be staying at 47 for long can she? She just can't seem to get any respect like when Flora counted her out of the equation in her initial attack. It's nice when Clare proves them wrong though =D

Miria believes their chances are zero so even if it's just to stall for time, I'm wondering why the organization would send so many on a suicide mission. Losing a large chunk of your skilled fighting force can't be a good thing in the long run.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

what the hell was up with flora's voice?!?

Well, other than that, it was a great episode. I was looking forward to how this arc was gonna be animated and so far, everything looks good. Its great that the production studio is following the manga closely and at the same time, omitting Helen's dumbass moments XD.

Clare is too l33t! Ol girl thought she was gonna be useless on the team but she broke the info down like a true G!

Take'em out!

I like how the show is oriented towards jumping yoru opponent kinda like what goes down in an RPG. Usually the main character gets to fight one on ones but this show has alot of team battles and they direct them well.

Bringin true beauty to the art of jumpin niggaz!

Lol, I don't know how you guys can have watched so many anime and still are surprised when a character is displayed with such a voice to increase the contrast of her.

Really nice episode, though it was weird to see so many Claymores gathered at once place. The awakened beings look really interesting and I can't wait for the next ep.

The organization has someone in mind to help them out - let's just say she's good. I'm not putting down spoilers so if you wanna know read this comment on our blog: http://animediet.animeblogger.net/archives/607#comments, look for the commentor: "Silvering"

Miria is very intellignet and knows how to lead, Jeane on the other hand, is too much of a one on one fighter that she does not know who to ask as backup and who to cover. Her opponent says so. But damnit! I like the honorable Jeane and I wish she can do better!
My goal is ikkitousan in anime watching - to watch and finish at least one thousand titles in my life time.

I totally forgot to ask this after seeing the episode, so I'm digging this thread up. Anyway, is it just me or was one of those Awakened Beings Usopp from One Piece? I couldn't take him seriously at all after hearing what sounded very much like Usopp's voice.

I don't usually 'marathon' a series but damn it, Claymore is awesome.

I'm getting the feeling that someone I've taken a liking to will die any moment now. =_= Flora's voice was a memorable contrast. I don't really like girlish-voiced strong women, hopefully she's the only one.

And the gang is back! ^_^ Nakama ftw!~

@rayhum777: Thanks for the hints. :) I'm thinking of reading the manga, but being kept in Claymore suspense is a great feeling. :3

oK, i'm back... Flora's voice did seem a lil' off, but I'm guessing that every show has to have some cute loli characters. And they tried to make her the cute loli Claymore... um, no. Didn't really like it.

The Awakened Being w/ Gallatea's skills was a surprise and I'm guessing that he's the biggest threat of the three b/c of it.

I'm beginning to wonder with all these male Awakened Beings running around up north. Are they the remnants of the 1st gen Claymores? The males that couldn't keep from "shooting off" too soon. ?????

This was a pretty good episode. It was slow at first, and the fight scenes coulda been better, they just didn't show enough of the other Claymore's gettin owned. I personally like Flora's voice, I'm a dub watcher, but they did the same thing in giving her a loli voice. Speaking of the dub, in earlier ep discussions people were debating on what they were calling the Abyss dwellers, in the dub they call them Creatures of the Abyss. Can't wait for the next, but since I'm a dub watcher, I gotta wait for like a month and a half for the next four eps to come out. See ya when it comes out. Urahara Out!!

Erm, wait.
With Ophelia and other members dying, shouldn't everyone be a lower-digit? Like, Miria should be #5, the people under that single-digit chick should be lower, and Clare would already be in her 30's/20's?

I think the extremely feminine voice makes her even more badass, just a thought.

The old Claymore gang strikes back :D

The one I'm missing is Raki though... they've been teasing his comeback for quite a while now...

Also, look at every arc, and see the pattern:
- Arc 1: One badass warrior that fights demons
- Arc 2: The Awakened Ones
- Arc 3: Five badass warriors that fight Awakened Ones.
- Arc 4: One badass warrior that fights a way more badass warrior
- Arc 5: Three badass warriors that fight an Abyssal.
- Arc 6: 24 badass warriors that fight Abyssals.

Each arc == Moar badassitude gais. Can't wait until chapter 4 :D
