| This show is quick with making me adore it's characters, which usually doesn't happen in action-y type shows like this, for me. Raki is terribly sweet, and Clare seems so lonely. Gah! I'm gonna have anxiety watching this show, I bet. ^.^;; |

I like this best: http://www.anime-source.com/banzai/modules.php?name=Releases ...because he first releases are in bold, and it also gives a bit of info (e.g. 'ep 26, FINAL') p.s. I havnt acctually seen any eps of this anime yet, just wondering weather I should? What animes does it resemble? (looking at the poll results, it looks like you guys like it) |

(looking at the poll results, it looks like you guys like it) I guess it kind of resembles Berserk more than any other anime I've seen... Huge swords, blood, lots of action. |
| For those that want to know the best way to get release notifications...use MyAnimeList for it. MAL will send you an e-mail as soon as an episode is fansubbed. You don't have to waste time visiting torrent sites and crap then. :) Anyway, just saw this episode. Raki is soooo annoying. Good lord. He reminds me of those shitty characters that do absolutely nothing in a show. "No, don't kill her Clare!" Derrrr, she needs to die or she'll kill hundreds. Stupidity like that makes characters like Raki worthless. He needs to learn how to use a sword, or grow a brain. |
Xinil said: I agree, but it is only ep. 2, so I am thinking maybe he'll be able to do something.. I doubt he'd just follow her around for like 26 episodes (that would kind of suck). If that happened though, it would be awesome if she killed him. For those that want to know the best way to get release notifications...use MyAnimeList for it.

But yeah, I was wondering as I watched it how they are going to pull off making him awesome. I loved it though.. So awesome! Can't wait for ep. 3! |
| Raki's irritating, but he's also just a kid - it isn't surprising that he's hesitant about killing and such. I guess it kind of resembles Berserk more than any other anime I've seen... Huge swords, blood, lots of action. My thoughts exactly. Plus the fact that the main character is a loner that everyone else is afraid of, and yet somehow ends up with an innocent and utterly useless companion. Like Guts and Puck. |
 |
| Berserk huh? I guess a little in some senses. It reminds me of something else more, I just can't remember what it is right now. :) |
| He is definately lucky because he has someone who helps him . As far as i understand, all of his family is dead. This episode was surely better than the first one, which makes the wait for the 3rd one quite painful... |
| I think the male Claymore route seems pretty likely. As well as Raki having to kill Clare later in the show. Though I suppose that's pretty obvious after that second episode. Speaking of luck, I wonder if he'll manage to get lucky hehe. He's a bit young, but he's travelling all alone with Clare and neither of them have anyone else left that they care about. |
|
| The OP theme shows Raki holding a sword so I've been pretty sure that he would turn into a claymore as well since ep one, plus there's another shot in the OP that appears to be him with "claymore looks" but I can't be sure 'coz the picture as too many efects. however, in this ep the cloaked guy said no male claymores exist so I've been wondering. he will either turn into the first or find another way to battle. I pretty sure he won't turn into a useless character like Xinil said. Krelian said: I think that's a good assumption.As well as Raki having to kill Clare later in the show.

| Hmm... I agree, but I'm already having trouble taking him seriously. If his name is actually Lucky... |
|
| His name is just Raki. Lucky is pronounced/written rakki (3 mora), so they're different. |
| #dontcare |
| The Lucky Star lucky is written raki so his name could be lucky but that would be stupid. |
| yeah, that would be a bit stupid.. [if his name were lucky] Yes, we all saw him with the sword, so I too thought male Claymore (except, his sword is different).. but then the guy said it was only for females, so I then just assumed Clare would teach him to fight (though male claymore is still a possibility). Yes, I don't dislike him that much, and he obviously will become stronger. Just right now, he's useless. |
| I need to pay closer attention to the openings...but then again, I usually try to ignore them because spoilers tend to leak through a lot (and I hate being spoiled). I'm going to hope that Raki either becomes a badass swordsman, becomes the first male claymore, or dies early. :) |
Xinil said: That's so evil Xinil lol... anyway he's not useless now... he cooks ^^.... I'm going to hope that Raki either becomes a badass swordsman, becomes the first male claymore, or dies early. :) I don't know why so much fuss about him... he's a boy, lost his parents and relatives at that age, he has no home... did you just want to turn him into a badass right away? (would we turn? or would wecrawl and hide or just give up on life?) I think he has a lot of room to grow... and I don't want that growth to be unbelieveable fast or exagerated... anyway go see ep3. he did something with quick wits there... |

itainteazy11 said: The Lucky Star lucky is written raki so his name could be lucky but that would be stupid. Yeah it is, but the way it's said and written 90% of the time is rakki (which is honestly the best conversion from english pronunciation). EIther way, he better start doing some bigger things or become more important sometime soon. He's essentially useless at the moment. |

Koreth said: Raki having to kill Clare seems like a likely happening by the end. Oh yeah. I'll be really surprised if that doesn't happen. |
     |
| I don't know why everyone is expecting so much out of Rakki after just 2 episodes... c'mon y'all... give him a break... plenty of time for him to grow and become strong... ...and I agree... I have this feeling that he will have to kill Clare by the end of this series T_T That'll be tough to watch |

| That is a good point. I just find him a little irritating though - he's too naive and such. It's understandable given his situation, I suppose, but still annoying. As for the eventual showdown between him and Clare, I think that'll be particularly awesome. Unless his personality changes quite a bit, I expect he would refuse to kill her and attempt to save her instead, which could lead to all sorts of interesting conflicts due to her decreasing control over her Yoma half and the bad blood it'd be sure to create between them and the Claymore organization. Even if he does manage to kill her, it seems like it'll be very dramatic and emotional, which is great. |
|
| This is promising... The episodes was really good. I want to see MORE! |
| Rakki is annoying for more than just the fact that he's a dumb kid. He's clearly designed to role-model what the audience is supposed to feel during the episode, since Clare is so emotionless. However, this is unnecessary and irritating. I don't need to be told how I should feel. Still hoping he dies next episode. |
| this was pretty much just background, but anyone else think that guy in black is pretty perverted? |

| really mad eme wanna watch ep 3! =P |
 |
| Just as it should be, this episode was an improvement over the first. The jury is still out on the characters and the show is having a bad habit of repeating stuff we already should know. For example: Clare is half-human and half-yoma? Really? |

| Lol, seriously raki has to shut up. he's getting annoying in the show. |
ShanaNightray said: Lol, seriously raki has to shut up. he's getting annoying in the show. I agree.. yet I think he will grow immensely. Unfortunately, it looks like he will end up being the one to kill Clair. this show is off to a good start.... |
  |
| ... i can;t help but wonder , why are all the claymores blonde ? |
| I just hate how Raki express his feelings for Clare, how he get into their business.. just like a kid attitude |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Great episode. |
| All the Claymores seem to look alike. Not sure what to make of Raki yet. Sad that Clare had to "euthanize" her friend. |
 |
| Nice episode, we get to know more about claymore stuff; like them having a chance of becoming a yoma herself. Well seeing Clare kill some of his friend was saddening though. Rating it 8/10. |
| Damn, I can see that Raki is going to be the annoying tag-along. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Tough luck for any claymores that turn into yomas and don't have any friends they want to kill them... |
