Ep. 6 screencaps and summary.

Clare brings out human feelings in Teresa... or is it motherly feelings? You can see why so many people like Teresa... her speed and prowess as a Claymore is unsurpassed... but it's her human side that makes her so endearing.

Spoiler:

It's too bad that it seems this will lead to a tragic end for her... (though I don't know yet because I haven't read the conclusion in the manga)

Spoiler for ep 06:

This one was pretty good all around the action was nicely done and some psycho Seki Tomokazu is always nice. Ending it with the guy calling for no. 2-5 to go after Teresa was a nice touch. So I hope madhouse will do a nice follow up with the action to come.

[Mentar]

Another very very solid 9. They handled the development very well, particularly the final scene of the episode.

Episodes 7+8 will be crunch time for Madhouse. If they somehow manage to pull this off, we've got a real classic in the making.

[dutchman]

Absolute fantastic ep. I only gave it an 9 (is a 10) otherwise I wouldn't be able to go higher in future eps

I love the scene with the bandit leader

Spoiler for spoiler ep6:

where is he bragging about his falcone / whip sword. About how quick and deadly it is and that nobody can match it speed and bla bla bla. And the next second Teresa is already standing next to him after cutting him down hehe that is price less

Also in the preview you saw already a short screenshot of some of the single digits send after Teresa man this series seriously keeps up with my high expectations of it.

the director is doing a amazing job of adapting form the manga. EP6 is about as good a adaption as any manga fan could want. I would give ep6 a 10 but i want to hold it in reserve for ep7.

I agree, they did an excellent job with this episode, and I am saving my ten for episode 7 or 8 as well :P

I agree. Same with the 10

[Seska]

For the protocol, Episode 06 subbed is out. Go grab it, whiles still hot

Nice. over 1000 peers wants them.... We gone beat Bleach someday in some year
about 30 mins later.. over 1600 peers now...
*gasp* after 5 hours nearly 1000 Seeders and over 3700 Peers.... WOW....

for me, with these good results so far. a US license is possible.

[Xellos-_^]

I was looking at ANN at some of the other work this director has done and it seems Claymore is this guys Directorial Debut. He was assistant director for a number of project but this is the first time he is the head director.

THat is good for us and the claymore project. He is probably giving his best and putting his heard and soul into it

really enjoying this flashback arc so far, moreso than the main story itself.

Actually, the "main story" you were referring to was the introductory arc. The real main story actually starts from the current flashback arc.

[whitepearl]

Awesome episode on many levels

Solid 9/10

[Deathkillz]

i think im gonna cry...

Spoiler:

just looking at the preview and the though of teresa leaving clare (well its dam predictable isnt it) is enough for me to turn on my taps of sorrow another amazing ep which continues on...the flashback and clare's origin ~
i really love how this ep gave me an emotional rollercoster with all the ups and downs of a perfect drama in the making...twists turn tables further twists and now even the organization being twisted itself was half expected but even so its done in a wonderful way sigh i guess ill need to brace myself for next ep >.< as for now...perfect 10! (couldnt resist ;_;

Wow, I'm so happy to hear this. I share the same thoughts about preferring this arc.

The real Story line begins at the end of the Flashback. Which is why i am saving the 10 for Ep7.

[Kinematics]

Beautifully done. Several scenes that got a few tears.

Spoiler for Ep 6, action:

On the action side, I loved Teresa running straight down the cliff before launching herself back at the villange. Showed just how fast she can move when she really wants to. Poor guy with the whip sword never had a chance. Teresa ran past and sliced him literally between rotations of the chain.

Of course in the final execution scene they just used speed lines (well, with a couple initial steps), but that was as much for dramatic impact as anything. Rather difficult to convey all that movement at once, though. The other fights with the humans were pretty much irrelevant and easily discarded in the "it happened, let's move on" section. I have no problem with that, but I really want to see how well the 'real' fights against numbers 2-5 are animated. If this new director really is putting everything he's got into it, they will be a sight to behold.

Spoiler for Ep 6, decisions:

I think the point that Teresa made the final decision to live was at the MIB's answer to her question of what was going to happen to Clare. Teresa wanted Clare to have a chance at a real, human life. The agent's answer very strongly implied Clare was going to end up another project child (parents killed by yoma, no family, etc). Teresa couldn't just acquiece and let them do that, and the only way to prevent it was to live -- for Clare.

So we get to start and end the episode with "Awwwww" moments. Despite all the problems in between, this episode is all for Teresa and Clare, and you feel that they really do belong together. More trials and tribulations ahead, of course, but maybe that smile isn't quite so faint now.

Ok, the second MIB (well, shadowy figure, not sure it had the MIB robe) that showed up at the end, can anyone identify the voice? Is it Clare's handler from earlier in the series, or just another random shlub? Doesn't seem to match up with his voice in the credits, but I'm not entirely sure.

[Shiroth]

That was a solid episode --- easily worth a 10 in my books. My main interest in this show is seeing how the Claymore adapt to human feelings, and this episode was just that. It helps coming from such a strong character, Teresa is a perfect character. & wow, you just can't beat a battle scene like that --- together with fire surrounding the battle field.

Solid drama, and great action --- perfect episode to me. Give me more~

(& yeah, i'm one hell of a Teresa fanboy now. :3)

[TigerII]

Really good. She know she is going to die, but she does not regret. Strong character she is. But the sadder part is that it is looking like Clare is going to be forced into being a Claymore. But it is good to see that they still have hearts and souls. They are just deeply hidden.
