Claymore - Episode 16 Discussion / Poll

[Riful]

@Xellos: lol No, we can't bash him, he is too funny.

Well, typing "Dafu" in Kanji gives you 懦夫 which means "coward, weakling", that, at least, is a fact. Poor him

@B-Day: You are right, his name IS Dafu in Katakana. But the pronunciation is close to "Duff", isn't it. Which gives his name a double bad meaning. Gosh...

Although I haven't read the manga, I'm fairly sure that Raki actually gets to live through the whole story. But I'm still hoping that some crazed producer decides to leave him dead in a gutter somewhere and replace him with a watermelon - or something equally exciting in contrast - for the remainder of the anime.

[Westlo]

Stills look very good but how's the animation raw viewers?

[Kodea]

This episode is totally awesome! 9\10

Raki isn't in this episode. Please stay on topic and save the unncessary attacks for episodes he actually appears in.

You are lighter than you look, you should eat more.

hmm stay on topic

[B-day]

This episode has a lot of action, especially Miss Claymore Galatea swings her sword for the first time, cool. Lots of explaination as well. We know more about awakened beings. But the animation quality drops a bit compare to previous episodes, maybe some of the key animators are on summer vacation

[Ronny]

Judging by the preview, seems they're saving up for next week.. which looks pricey :x (but so pretty ; ; )

[Xellos-_^]

Not just next ep. This entire series if animated right is going to be pricey. Hopefully they save enough of the budget for the ending.

[pomps]

Their faces look horrible exept in close-up scenes, but I still gave this ep a 10.

I find this episode animated better than many others

Yeah it appears Clare's face is used in road work maintenance a lot lately.

Beautiful episode I really loved how they animated Galatea's yoki manipulating skill. In the manga you only see (in Viz version) some sound effects 'tingle, tingle' when she does her stuff. Seeing it animated really makes it even more awesome.

And seeing Miss Claymore in action is always a win
I also really like the VA for Riful she does a hell of a job. Gah... can't wait for next week lol

[Negativedark]

Well now that people are seeing the actual episode I can make a comment that I've wanted to make for a week.
First off, Kudos to all those who correctly figured out that Riful was an awakened. Double Kudos to anyone who figured out what her rank was.
Second. To those of you who after last weeks episode still thought she was just a cute innocent little girl, WHA?! She clearly called the shots during the tourture scenes. And you still thought she wasn't evil? Don't forget what the song says, "A pretty face can hide an evil mind."

As to why Dauf follows Riful, we now know its because A; she's way more powerful, and B; he loves her. Aww.

I just pray they kept Rifuls "cross face" when she threatens to leave Dauf.

There are no such things as evil lolis

He is a Lolicon

She is way smarter too, Dauf can't do a thing without her.

[dxanato]

I had to laugh at every scene in which Duff is in. He is just to funny.

[Kinematics]

What? You're saying she's not a cute, lovable Tomoyo-clone? Awwwww....

And yes, I've read the manga, so know what she is. Just too much fun to think of her that way, though

Also of note, this episode now catches the anime up with the English Viz manga release. From now on I get to be as in the dark as all the other first-time viewers. Whee! Manga vol. 9 should be out in 3 weeks, which will basicly put them even again, then all new stuffs...

[Lendial]

oh my galatea unprettied her ultra pretty face. i could never resist reading the summary before watching the ep days later.
