Jesus.

Just one thing in advance: I knew from the start that this would be an action-heavy episode, but...

Usually, most Claymore raws are between 250 and 280 megabytes in size.

This one is 470 megabytes.

Go figure.

[Seska]

I envy you. My Source don't have it On line

[dutchman]

Argh I hate you Mentar

How can I sleep when I know someone is already watching it??? (not counting the few 100.000 of japanese plp).

Ah wel at least based on your reaction it must be worth to watch it tomorrow

(Goes sleeping chanting softly Claymore claymore ... while in rabid fanboy mode...)

[Tempest35]

High frames per second. Sweet... Lots of movement is in the works. Very promising indeed since we should have 'Light Speed' and the 'Loli from Tartarus' featured finally.

When did 2ch become a ban site?

I thought the rule was to remove the link after a certain amount of time becuase it will turn into a link of porn

[striderm]

Those're just pics from the ep, I think they were thinking you were linking to the actual episode.

[hi no ken Jebus]

Spoiler for ep7:

Hmm more or less what I expected although the claymores going super saiyajin in the end made me laugh for some reason. Anyway episode ends with no. 2-5 ganging up on Teresa who handed them their asses in style. The scene with her sitting in the chair dodging Ilena's speed sword was awesome. I like Priscilla's VA although she sounds more like Yuki from fruit basket with a little bit of Maya from Tenjo Tenge mixed in.

[Mentar]

Oh wow, that was great.

The only reason why I'm stopping at the 9 was that traditionally, to pull a 10 I demand something particularly outstanding and surprising with tremendous impact, and I'll probably draw it in ep8... but it was already scratching at that in this one too.

What impressed me most was how many new, original shots and angles they found and animated... very stylish. Also, the near-impossible task to capture the intensity of the hi-speed swordfights was done in a very convincing way.

The first one of two budget-killer episodes, done extremely well. On to the climax!

[Edit] One more thing needs to be said. It's a shame... a shame crying to heaven... that Claymore is not aired in proper HD. Once again, the background drawings are _amazing_ in their depth and detail. Absolutely incredible. Why why why are we relegated to blurry lo-res captures which kill most of the effect?

To be honest, if there was a Blu-Ray release of Claymore, this show alone might get me to shell out major bucks to have it.

[Xellos-_^]

There is going to be a lot of budget killing fight scene in this series.

[dutchman]

Saw the raw and I can say only wow.. action packed indeed.

I liked very much the way how they animated the "faster then eye" sword moves of the (single digits) higher level claymores.

The high speed moves they displayed really helped to highlight the fact. That claymores really operate on a whole other dimension then normal humans do, both in speed and power. (normal bystanders were even getting deaf from the high pitch noice caused by the swordblades colliding at incredible speeds)

I gave it a 9 for the same reasons others before me stated. I know this is only the start of the best to come.

So I can't give it a 10 yet otherwise I won't be able to give a higher mark in the upcoming episodes

Also I want to praise the VA for Priscillia she sounded exactly like I somehow expected her to sound. (a typical naive young idol) somehow she reminded me a bit of a 'genki' Arika (from Mai Otome).

[wrex_japan]

Ep. 7 screencaps and summary as usual.

Yeah, I gave it a 9 too... but maybe I should've given it a 10... Teresa is so awesome. I hate the Organization for ordering her execution.

[Tempest35]

Wow, Irene looks so much like a Nightelf from from WoW...XD Pwnage abounds. This proves that Old Skool is nearly always the best.

Same here actually, and it has pretty much been the same with the past two episodes, ever since Teresa started kicking Clare around. Nonetheless, I do want to find out how Clare became Claymore, which I hope this arc will shed light on. I'm sure it's not gonna be pleasant tho.

You're right about the rule. Though I'd rather 2ch links weren't used at all since sometimes they get forgotten and go bad.

Spoiler:

whow crap what speed @_@ next ep is going to be on hell of a fight while this was just the appetizer if compared...i guess ill be saving my tears for next week then teresa going SS4 for the first time :3

[Fenrir_valindri]

This episode was great. I was amazed at how well they animated everything in this episode. Cannot wait till next week >.< its almost like waiting for the next volume of the manga, but atleast the wait is shorter
