Don't mention that name. She is just so awful. It makes me sick, she just sucks so much. There is a reason why she had the most hated video of all time on Youtube. Anyways, I liked the chapter but it could have been a little bit better. With Clare in it of course.

MS dropped claymore and the rest of the mangas licenced by viz.
Spoiler for excerpt:
bolded part: funny and so true the rest is on their page, we could still get translations (possibly the so called "spoilers") though |

Don't you find it an odd "coincidence" that Viz has turned their eyes on MS just after one of the administrators deleted forums and did some other damage?
@Friday I'm pretty sure that there will be at least 2 other scanlation groups making Claymore (one of them doing it much longer than MS and only with gernot's, i.e. most accurate translations). And even if the quality graphic-wise won't be as good, the most important thing (the script) will be the same (or even better). And there won't be any annoying watermarks and because of no over-kill cleaning people will see a version as close to the original as possible (in some of MS chapters some symbols were unreadable for example). |

surely we will see more chinese-scans being released as usual. I can wait for claymore (especially with its diminished quality these days).
Btw, thanks for the recommendations Gooral. I'm currently reading through Dorohedoro.

Taken from my conversation with Nixl about the situation
Spoiler for ranting:
Really, it's not a big thing all things considered; as Nixl told me, they are just playing a game of whack-a-mole....they hit one, more take it's place....and like the game, if they try covering all the holes at once, they will end up breaking the machine which is a pretty true metaphor. But like I said in that quote, even if more censorship and/or SOPA (which will get passed sooner or later) gets passed, it wouldn't make much of a difference because people would still find a way to pass around free-stuff; while I'm all for artists getting their fair-credit, It doesn't pass me by that all of this boils down to money money money. So no, really...in the long term scale of things, Mangastream losing Claymore, Megavideo/Megaupload going down...it's inconvenient and annoying for only a short time, since their are undoubtedly a dozen more sites like it, and even if their weren't, their place will get filled up again anyway. Sad yes, but in a way, not really....no matter what the big-wigs do, it's all in vain, and frankly, for the better that way.

Miria is the leader of the Ghosts so how can she be a sidekick? if Clare had a sidekick it would be Raki or Jean since they followed Clare while Clare followed Miria. |

It doesn't work like that and Claire is not the center of the universe.

Also you said nobody is a sidekick but then said some people have a position next to Clare "whether side-kick, friend, lover etc...". |

Well....*sigh
I guess that's one way to put it; the word "side-kick" though makes it seem like they are, in some way, inferior to Claire...plus, side-kick is usually reserved for comic-book superheroes I think that's what it was; "side-kick" elevates Claire too much, and brings the others down...better to just say friends/comrades, or something . By the way, I always loved that image of Miria - only she could stand in the rain looking so good

Lord Yagi has added lots of new stuff, but the plot has become less "realistic". For example all of the Claymores currently fighting should be dead multiple times, including Miria, but no one has died. Have you noticed how Hysteria keep taking bathroom breaks every time Miria or Deneven wants to say something?

Wow ignored by the moment i posted. what a beginning XD
about the "claire isnt" the main charakter" discussion: main charakter isnt defined by screentime, but by STORY-time. claymore is clearly claires story. ith about her, the ones she loves, what she lost and the one which are "like her" she is the "red ranger of claymores" i mean: is claymore about the team? yes, it is. but as someone which is a part time writer by himself: you ALWAYS need a main charakter. You may have more, but never have more than 1 on the same "screen" if there are more then 1, you have to choose one which is the MAIN maincharakter. the one on which in the end all your storylines will conclude. (so whatever you do, you still will have only 1 main charakter in the end) And this charakter is claire. she's the center of the main story. you may proove me wrong (sorry for the spelling. my english sucks XD) |

Hysteria is very confident so she's taking her time to kill Miria's side which is why Miria has time to talk but I see what you mean about Hysteria doing nothing while people talk. |

You just have to start posting more and more often and people will start to comment and will lead to discussions. Quote:

And then there are some other plots to go along with it. Such as revenge on the Organization (current arcs) and Clare and Raki's reunion. And possibly that whole Dragon-kin thing on a different continent.

Missed out on the two good doctors... Haha! Really, I'm not sure whether Dr. Deneve was serious about his/her statements, but I wouldn't be surprised if s/he was. I, myself, am an M.D., graduating with honors from one of the top universities in the country, and I must admit that the feeling of superiority sometimes surfaces whether I'm conscious of it or not. I mean, people's lives are almost literally my playthings, and a wrong word can send people to their deaths just like that (though that'll likely result in a lawsuit). Now, I'm not sure whether Dr. Deneve is a Ph.D. or an M.D., but really, sometimes we get the feeling that we can think no wrong, i.e. we are infallible, and that all other minds are below ours. Not particularly healthy from a social viewpoint, I know. I try to suppress it the best I can, but it sometimes rears its ugly head whenever I have a hard time explaining and arguing with patients and relatives that are particularly difficult to reason with.

Indeed, Clare's revenge is at the core of the story, and that plot has reached, quite literally, a standstill. And so we are forced to view the series in a broader sense and see that while important, CLAYMORE isn't all about Clare's tale. In that sense, we may view the ragtag bunch of titular characters as the collective main. You may also just say that Clare is the main, with the others as supporting characters with nearly as much importance. Quote:

No... That would be utterly unthinkable. |

Anyway, back in the good old days of Claymore, we would not have a Dr. Deneven. We would have been left to speculate, and that was lots of fun. No one speculate anymore.
