Ophelia is a brutal bitch, but don't get me wrong - it's not that I hate her or something. You can't really hate someone for having a character &__& Still, she's getting in the way and it's easy for anyone to dislike her(even me) - but you should learn to make one character's viewpoint your own and then look at the scene again. People do this often but usually only when it comes down to main characters or characters they find to resemble their very own selves :D

I'm sure Raki is gonna become one hell of a bastard one day :evil:

Damn the top five arent the top five for nothing. The kiss was random as hell though I thought Raki was just like a son to her ...the heck

Awsome episode, Ophelia ftw.
And a kiss between Clare and Raki, anyone else noticed that Clare's lips changed in the scene after? =o
I felt kinda bad for the awakened too, since she had such a cute voice.
Looking forward to next week =)

yes and did anyone else notice raki was crying into his cuts... that would hurt

Damn great episode! Awesome action a weird and crazy Claymore and epic awakened little girl! And that's not it a perfect kiss scene between those two! Really fascinating episode! Lets see what happens next!

Good episode. Orphelia & her logic ftw. I think if she would kill Raki she would get punished since i feel like their superiors would find it out. just get the feeling their almighty and have something like a spy keeping watch while they do their jobs, but like i said - just my feeling.
pretty random and unexpected kiss. thought i did wish for any kind of romance between Clare and Raki i actually didn't think it would happen. seems like Clare is slowly getting back her self from when she was with Teresa (prior to her death).
somehow i also think Raki is going to get incredibly strong -- heck maybe even a male Claymore (though they stopped making them cause they get to their limit to easily). i suspect a time lapse after we see the battle between Orphelia and Clare

It's love or hate with those Claymores! I love them or I really hate them. I really don't like Ophelia. No. I don't just don't like her. I want her tortured.And killed.And tortured :)

Dont get me wrong, I really liked this episode and I ship ClarexRaki so hard, but I dont think the plot was ready for this kind of development. Clare has not really shown as much that she cared for Raki in that way besides the occasional distressed face when he gets hurt, instead choosing several times to mention that she did not care for him and was only doing what was best for her. I always saw them as having a big sis/little bro relationship, but I was secretly hoping something like this kiss would happen. As for people who thought the quality dropped, I would like to point out that stiff animations are one of the many facets of this show. Lots of still scenes with lines to show speed of fighters and their strikes against each other, instead of fast changing camera angles like what is seen in Shingeki no Kyojin and other higher budgeted shows. The way claymores walk in general put this show second only to Gantz in terms of stiff animations. the only difference between the two is that this is claymore's style, whereas in Gantz it is only an excuse. All in all, good episode, enjoyed Ophelia/want to see more of her (as well as find out how she managed to get away with all the sensless killing she does, while Teresa gets caught)

Episode was frickin awesome. I was expecting the kiss to be on the cheek, but damn, I'm not complaining.

I really love how they've portrayed Raki in the anime.

There are SO many animes out there that have a character like Raki that becomes so annoying. They always bitch out how weak they are and they always get their friends into trouble just because they want to be useful.

But Raki is different, he tries to be helpful, but I never got the feeling that he was annoying or trying to hard to be a savior.

He's not to whiny, but not to silent either, he's just right! Let's keep him that way!

I don't like Raki. At all.

Maybe this is because I'm a die hard romantic, but I feel like nothing could ever come close to the love Clare and Teresa had. Their relationship was so much more sincere. I don't understand Raki's feelings. He's still a kid, really immature.

Maybe it's different in the manga I don't know...

I'm okay with a 2 years lapse and to see Raki like the Claymore version of Guts .

Clare's going ham on those youmas,next target : High Level Awakened. Creepy bitch spoted, Oh There goes the legs ;-S . On a side note, Raki was a real man (or a baka) for pointing a blade to a Top Claymore,he actualy suffered the coinsequences and endured it like a Boss. The kiss scene felt kind of wierd and rushed, but that's only my opnion. Next episode shit 's gonna get real.

Ikr, Ophelia is creepy but still kinda badass at the same time. The kiss between Clare and Raki was unexpected to say the least (in a good way). Not expecting a happy ending for the two of them though :(

does that kiss mean that they have romantic feelings towards each other? I was getting a more sibling vibe from them than anything else plus isn't Clare way older than Raki? Clare looks like she's in her 20's while Raki looks like a 12 year old

Me, before the kiss scene "That sibling relationship between Raki and Clare is cute. I hope he can defend her in the future like a true bro."
After the kiss scene" Erherm.... They're not siblings anymore. "

Please, please, please kill off Raki, he's holding Clare back.

Damn Ophelia, she should've killed him when she had the chance.

Damn Awakened Being (she died too soon, her voice was mesmerizing) she was too slow.

Damn Clare, what the heck, I dont care if that kiss was just to convince him or w/e, this show doesnt need romance or w/e that was.

Ophelia is a lunatic. Damn, she's so intense. Lol'd at that Awakened, as it's dying it just calmly goes "What is..this..."

Really didn't see that kiss coming. Raki and Clare's relationship struck me more as older sis watching out for annoying ass lil bro. Although to be fair, Raki literally has nothing left in his life but her. He realizes he's powerless and desperately wants to change that for her. Makes me wonder if there will be a time skip, it'd be pretty cool to see Raki become a capable fighter.

Oh damn, it's Ophelia already.

That was rich, the awakened being saying Ophelia is the monster over there. :D
I guess the kiss was just to shut him up about wanting to protect her etc ...

Definiltely feels like a timeskip is coming though.

An awakened being, a claymore that hunts other claymores and humans for sport, and yet Clare is the creepiest person in the episode. The fuck was with her kissing the kid?

I hope once we time skip so he's older and stronger, he realises how unbalanced the power dynamic between them was, and finds a less pedo warrior-woman to fall for.

Laughed my butt off when she told the monster not to talk and that her mouth stinked.

That kiss... Okay...? Not sure what to think of it. I thought that Raki was like her little brother, but maybe not.

Raki, can't you just protect Clare's heart or something because the sword isn't going to work out. She's part Yoma and has superpowers, fighting stronger things with more superpowers.

A "we're saving the budget" episode. Understandable, I'm sure that this show was expensive.

Ophelia is a sicko.

For me, this show bounces back and forth in terms of quality.

The last three episodes were amazing in terms of establishing the organization as the villain, and I liked that the theme continued into this one with Ophelia being "the real monster."

Then you have Clare flying off like Superman and a kiss that was more out of nowhere than the one in Rise of Skywalker.

I'm enjoying it and plan to finish it assuming it doesn't take a complete nosedive in the second half, but tonally there's just so many things that seem out of place.
