[zhoutai753]

do the math.

but in my opinion, there wouldn't be one. I recommend reading the manga since it is different than the anime "ending". Besides, the manga continues further than the anime's original ending.

That seriously doesnt matter anymore.
They simply cannot follow the manga in any kind with those changes, so they could just pull a season 2 out of their ass for the next spring/summer.

LOL. I concur. XD

But yeah, first half was spectacular...but I really didn't like how it ended, with the whole Raki thing and all...It's not like he's gonna be missed or anything if he dies. XDDD

Bwahahah! I like how you think! : P

[jinntann]

after all that, we never found out miria's "dangerous secret" and all the abysalls and prissila still roam around.


series: 10+ ep1-20, rest was not so good.......

in the end, total accomplished: 10 dead claymores, and 8 dead AOs. i guess not a lot was done.

done outside the story:got massive increase in teh claymore manga popularity

[Schuyler]

Like the fight scene, but it was so dam short, eight minutes. Other then that it was horrid, we all knew the raki speech was coming and how awful it was. It was pretty much talking the whole ep, so rushed and not a good ending at all. There is no way they could make another season, after that. I’m so sad, what could have been a great anime turn to crap.

Everyone go read the manga now, and see the real ending.

the one good thing from this anime ending is that now we can have some high quality claymore wallpapers lol

Just want to say this is all based on the anime, my thoughts on a second season.

Spoiler for for ep 26 and other anime eps:

Here is the state we leave the anime. Bunch of Claymore's died in the big war up north. We don't really know how many eventually survived, and we don't know for sure if the ABs isley left behind stayed there quietly. I bet someone will go investigate the area, maybe miria. Fab 4 resolve to quit org and split up, but who knows if they will meet again in the near future? Maybe they run into each other and combine their efforts a little down the road (makes since given all they been thru up to this point). Isley still plans to carry out his goals in the south against the other DotD.

Pricilla is alive and a threat to the world still despite clare's new convictions regarding revenge. Raki isn't with isley anymore but with clare, who can train him in swordwork (among other things *g*) so no loss for raki there by deciding to abandon them and go to clare right?

Galatea is being rebellious against the org and so is Rubel, and miria seems destined to take on the org. What have they got up their sleeves?

Sounds like a nice setup for a future struggle with isley and the other dwellers of the deep (whom hes picking fights with), priscilla (who is with him), the organization and their other top claymores. hmmm..sounds about right. All just a theory anyway..prolly wont even get a second season

[Cruel]

I was always hoping Clare and Riful team up. Second Season better happen.

[DazarGaidin]

Given raki's new perspective on yoma, which sounds eerily familiar to what riful was saying in witches maw, it might be a good possibility (of the team up, not the second season..that has a slim chance lol)

[Schuyler]

Read the manga, then you shall be happy, but you will be sad, there will be no season 2, they will have rewrite the whole story.

[DazarGaidin]

Hmmm deneve is no joke with her regen, she already has one arm healed at the beginning of this ep...she lost both right?

[workingclass]

well after watching the final episode my overall opinion is it left a sour note in my mind. if they didnt want to follow the manga trhats fine do something along the lines of my hime where the manga is a complete 180 degree turn to the anime series. but why in this series follow through the manag storyline for like the first 20 or so episodes and then veer of course so badly?

episode 26 for watchabilty wasnt to bad the artwork for jeane and such was beautifully done. some of the fight scenes animation was just bad but not all bad. and to ruin the episode even more they put just way to much raki in it. i had a freind over watching this episode and was his first episode ever of watching this series and all he could even say was that kid was damn annoying.

4/10

[Super Ska Master]

They totally left it wide open for a second season. I guess I wouldn't mind if it was original. They could pull a Full Metal and make the second part all original.

[Goofus Maximus]

I have to think that this opens up the possibility of a second season, with the anime going off on it's own, which takes care of the "waiting for the manga" problem.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

- Confucius

Simply put: I love this series. What an unexpected gem.

This episode was excellent in so many ways, and the most important fact is that it focused on the most archetypal conflict, one that I must admit I overlooked (or rather, I wrote off) until about episode 22 or so. Clare vs Priscilla, the org vs AOs, rebel Claymores vs the org, Claymores as outcasts within the human world...all these conflicts were leveraged into the internal battle of fighting the monster within us all. I must congratulate the writers at MadHouse; let no one say that they did not understand and pay respect to the truth of Claymore with their adaptation.

There were some areas that were lacking in the overall realization, but they were minor in the end. And rather than consider this episode in detail (^Sakon's post sums that up pretty well for me), at the moment I just feel like appreciating the entirety of the series.

Wow.

I really feel close to these characters, almost as though they are friends with whom I have shared precious time laughing, crying, and living. In that vein, I think Miria's words...or rather Eclipse's translation of them (and thanks again to Eclipse for the time they have spent producing these fansubs...we would not be here sharing this without your effort) speak best regarding my hope for the future:

Miria: "This is another farewell, then. I won't say when, but let us meet again."

Dare I hope? Is this MadHouse speaking to the fans as well?

[jor8888]

1/10 very bad animation and the story suck big time.

[hollywoodlou]

Wow...the '10" votes are 31 and the '1" votes are 25, never saw such a WIDE GAP in difference before. Well, might as well help out the '1" votes...Raki sucked and ruined everything like clockwork.

I admit I skipped the Raki emotional crying scenes...

[DazarGaidin]

I actually liked the animation of their swords clashing together furiously as they went thru the sky (the furious spiderlope flashclaw vs the green light sabers), it was kinda pretty. Didn't like the indistinguishible dbz colliding streaks tho.
