I knew that I've noticed the feel of anime I've watched before, but I recognized it just now - Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. The case about people sacrificing themselves to fight monsters, and not only that but their selfless sacrifice goes even further - at the end they themselves turn into the monsters they've been fighting with. Yeah, that drama is on a quite high level.

I seem to be sticking with the show at this point.

All those knights (beside these two guys that are stabbed heavily but totally immortal) were very helpful during that fight! I mean, seriously, where the hell were they? I guess protecting Vincent & Co. was priority, lol.

sweet episode
'"Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"?

cuuuuuute, Claire was saved by Raki's affection! :)

aww and the knights gave Raki his own sword so he can (at least try) to help Claire :3 it'll help him cut up vegetables otherwise ;)

When the enemy becomes talkative all of the sudden, you know it's gonna lose. Clare sure talked a lot in this episode, eh. Another episode where Raki being Raki.

After 4 episodes, I still can't see how this is any good at all.

So, I think this is what shounen should be done. Everyone knows the power of friendship shit in shounens but in this episode it was actually done well, so respect for that.

I am digging this so far, my favorite line was from Claire,"So you don't consider your head vital?" I thought it was a solid episode

To be fair she was already wounded and they stated that this was a special kind of Yoma, a voracious eater.
Even though Raki's presence can sometimes be a bit annoying he did save Clare, now let's see whether he'll actually be a good back-up for her :)

Well yeah that makes sense but take yourself out of the series and by just looking at the episode count, 4 of 26 and to already be pushed to her limit...yeah obviously this wouldn't really be her limit or she wasn't going to make it through the series.

The corpse being the Yoma surprised me.

And well done Raki.

Yeah the corpse was a nice touch.
Been enjoying the show, though it feels a touch shallow and I don't LOVE the Yoma designs..

It was nice seeing Clare behave like something more than a robot and have emotion in her voice...even if it was just training. Being that robotic/stoic doesn't make for the most engaging character even if the world/lore is cool.

I am hoping there is a really great story hook coming up. The show is interesting, but I'm ready for something to grab me other than a flashy fight or two.

I actually really liked this episode. I do like the idea behind clares powers. It is not op and has its flaws and weaknesses. There is that unclear line which if overstepped can lead to her turning into a full Yoma. I see some people commenting that "with the power of friendship all problems will be solved" I don't think that this is the case here. They made the rules very clear. Once the human brain is no longer able to hold back the inner Yoma they will turn. Raki showing love and empathy towards her probably awakened some forgotten feelings from her human side and gave her enough reason try and regain control of the brain. I don't think that concept is too far fetched. But I'm sure that they will explain what exactly happened down the line.

Raki wtf with the sword? Man, even if it was a dull practice blade or in a scabbard, you don't grab a sword by the blade. Like how you don't point guns at people you aren't trying to shoot.

Wow, Claire is incredibly tough <3

Love confession saves both Claire and the day!

Bonus points to two guards for fighting together with "witch" and being hidden wingman.

Hiding as a corpse in a church is clever for the beast indeed... good thing Raki could stop Claire's beast transformation, and he's staying with her obviously :)

It's nice to see humans helping Clare take on a yoma and actually not being useless. I would have liked to see more of those guys, or a spin off series with a human squad trying to hunt yomas. You'd need a skilled detective, since they won't reveal themselves easily, a couple of heavy fighters with halberds or 2 handed swords, maybe a crossbow/gadget guy with special ammunition (poison, bombs) etc.

one thing I disliked about this series, is as it goes on, it keeps ramping up the super powers and eventually turns into psudo bleach style fights.

I wished it remained like the early episodes where people had to use tactics and multiple types of weapons to destroy yoma, like they were in the witcher schools etc.

Clare's desire to protect Raki gave her the power to supress her yoma transformation. Such a powerful and emotional moment, almost started tearing up

Raki bringing out Clare's humanity, little by little. The key seems to be NOT suppressing your human side. So if that's the case, why did that guy act like it was a bad thing that Clare was getting attached to Raki.
