Really nice episode, everything's been said already though ^^. I also loved her outfit, and when she dodged those two Knights on the roof by jumping away she looked so damn great :D.

Today's lesson: don't go to church, it will get you killed.

Another great episode, impaling notwithstanding. I was surprised Raki stayed behind like he was told...that doesn't seem like him. Still time for him to show up, I suppose.

Downloaded one random manga RAW chapter, and it seems like it will be getting interesting...as for this episode, it was nothing exceptional, but a bit silly that they did not check the corpses...I mean, come on, the cathedral was all closed, the monster came from inside, and there were lots of zombified corpses lying about? If you are in the monster-extermination buisniss, checing for demons sleeping among the corpses should be pretty self explainatory...
Meh, i am nitpicking, i know, I will go now...


Well she did mention being weakend by the pills.. maybe her mind was a bit off, you know?
Or maybe they would have no plot if they had figured it out, ahha

Loved the episode... have my own theories on who the Yoma is... and I'm pretty sure we're all thinking along the same lines... as to who it is... if it's the case, it will be a little predictable... but still... quite a good series. Enough action and sword play to keep me happy.

Yeah but this time she's weaker because of those pills. If she wasn't all Yoma-suppressed she woulda owned the "Voracious Eater" by now, I bet. Also, her being all normal cuz of those pills now is probably why she can't carry her ridiculous sword and needs to use the two small ones.


I belive she isnt using her big sword as to keep from being detected and seen as a Claymore and or trying to become more mobile.

I'm sure she could still carry (and probably use, after the pills wear off) her big sword, but it'd be a little out of place with antique-selling siblings. Even if it didn't give her away as a Claymore, it would attract plenty of unwanted attention.

The whole cathedral setting made the episode at least a hundred more times creepier. I agree with what everybody is saying too, it is pretty cool to see the normal side of Clare.

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?

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

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".

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?
