You mean Berserk where every character is Guts with boobs?

It's...okay. The War in the North and the immediate aftermath of the "timeskip" with everyone playing cat-and-mouse with Riful and the Organization's new warriors was the best, and after that it meandered. Yagi seemed to lose track of what was going on after a while and when 90% of the cast looks exactly the same, it's kinda hard to give a shit.

I enjoyed it, even with the cheezy "everyone has a particular special sword technique" thing
>>
This series was full of missed opportunities. The problem is that the author didn't know what he did well, and what he did shit.

Good:
-Monster designs
-Crazy sword techniques
-Relations between the Claymores
-Villains with personality and drive (e.g., abyssal ones)

Shit:
-Human sameface designs
-Raki
-The main villain, Priscilla. Priscilla was so fucking shit, and such an enormous drag on the series I really have no words for it. Her existence alone drags Claymore down by 2 points minimum.

The manga sucked ass and most of the plot points such as the naked physique of the warriors was just plain fucking disappointing.

The final arc developed Claire into the ultimate Mary Sue which was the most disappointing part of it all. I didn't like Raki, but seeing how it all ended in the manga, I'd rather have seen him take a more pivotal role, considering he was trained by an abyssal one.

If Theresa was so absurdly overpowered, how come Priscilla managed to kill her?
>>
>>138816798
Cheap shot.

>>138816798
I guess the point is that Priscilla got the drop on her because Theresa let her guard down out of pity.

But yeah, the scenes kind of read like Theresa wasn't really conceived of as that completely bullshit until later, making her earlier scenes odd in retrospect.

Teresa was always complete bullshit mode since the start. I mean, she was only half serious when she was fighting a nearly fully awakened Pris.

Never watched the anime and, if I'm remembering this right, I think the manga ended around the same time Franken Fran (or just when I got to it) did so it just sort of lost me. I'd have to reread at this point.

You need to consider that Mangaka are primarily artists. Someone being both a good writer and a good artist is extremely rare simply because people tend to focus on one or the other. Yagi would do extremely well if he was paired up with a writer. The same dynamic as Seki Hasemi and Kentaro Yabuki, Yabuki gives his writer a broad outline, the writer writes it into the plot, Yabuki draws it while suggesting other scenes he wants to draw.

The first thing the other Claymores think when they see Raki is that Clare is bringing him along as a fucktoy, which heavily implies it's not unusual among them, hence they aren't all carpet munchers, as much as you want them to be.

Clare sure as hell isn't anyway, in case her shoving Raki's face in her tits and kissing him wasn't enough of an indication.

Don't strong emotions make it harder to control their powers? Wouldn't sex be quite dangerous? Maybe not to the point of awakening but any degree of loss of control basically means Raki loses a limb or worse.

Angel Densetsu has many of the same problems. It's characters are just as samefaced, and the entire series revolves around one gag. Both lose their charm halfway through and become bland parts of their genres.

I feel like this can't possibly be true. I guess I haven't be a regular in Claymore threads, but huge chunks of the series have all female MCs. Many of these MC has intense friendships with each other. Much ado is made about these friendships, and the characters have tendencies to pair up.

I think besides Claire, Galatea interacted with Miria the most. Maybe it's also because of their interactions in general and because people think they would look good together. I think the latter is also the reason why some Galatea/Flora exists.

>>138830859
She went way past the scale anyway, it would just be S on all. I mean she disposed of Priscilla easier than Priscilla disposes of Abyssals, she (combined with Clare) might as well have literally been that Godess at that point considering the absurd powerlevel.

Also anyone else find it hilarious how Japs pronounce Clare? It happens with a lot of western names but usually you can understand what they mean, I'm not sure I'd have understood that KUHREAH was Clare if it wasn't written.

Manga was fun. The bodyhorror aspect was a lof ot fun.

Anime was shit, but for the same reason Soul Eater was shit. Meaning: how exactly do you cram two years worth of chapters, that rean't even out at that time, into 5 episodes?
>>
>>138831925
Not to mention you could actually sleep and feel at ease during daily life, not having to worry that whoever is near you has been torn apart by a Yoma who is right now hiding as him at your dinner table, never knowing when he's gonna massacre everybody while you can't do anything.

You might die horribly but until you do at least you don't have to assume everyone turn and might rip you apart any moment.

I enjoyed the manga until the ending. Not that the ending was bad, but because it completely wasted its potential by not kicking things into gear with a mainland exploration/conquest arc instead. Some really good fights here and there, shame how much the story fizzled.
>>
>>138832759
The manga ended too late already, mainlandfags are the worst, because they can't understand that the qualitiy of the writing drops in proportion to the powerlevels.

Not going to the mainland was completely appropriate. It's not their problem and them getting involved intentionally has literally no benefit for them beyond petty revenge.

With that being said, I'd be down for it if Yabuki hooked up with someone else to help him with the writing.
>Merchant vessels from the mainland discover the Island by accident
>Cat has left the bag, eventually diplomats from the side with dragons arrive
>Claire, Raki, Galataea, and the twins sent to the mainland as emissaries
>Raki has to pretend he's a bodyguard because they don't want anyone actually knowing exactly what Claymores are

Less shonen action, more focused on worldbuilding with action as an aside. I'd make them a caste based, psuedo-roman society personally.
>>
>>138832759
the claymores had absolutely no interest in going to the mainland, telling the organization to fuck off and stay away was the most logical ending

I loved the series for its characters and setting, but the plot lost me towards the end. The setting had SO MUCH POTENTIAL but everything was too focused on a bunch of renegades taking down some raid bosses. There was no grand scheme the cast was trying to foil, no escalating plot. The story just became too narrow at the end.

>>
>>138834466
the yoma that ran amok were failed experiments for the most part, and the claymores were equal parts experiment and tool to clean up the failures.
The end goal was a fully controllable awakened being, which they were getting close to, before Miria happened

>pussy twisting around your D and squeezing it

>>138834466
They were making Yoma and Claymores to see if they could make a controllable awakened being. Claymores themselves were a flawed side product. The goal from the beginning was an awakened being that could be employed against the Dragons without decimating their own forces.
They already have Proto-Claymores on the mainland, but in their case they aren't trained like Claymores, they're sent out to where the Dragon is Awaken, and while they kill the Dragon everybody else bails the fuck out.

Yeah, the island was basically a giant laboratory that manufactured super soldiers. Some unnamed nation was fighting some war where they fought half-dragons (or something like that) and needed an edge, so they did the only logical thing and tried making their own. The Youma were just generic baddies for the warriors to grind as they got stronger.

It's been a while so the exact details are blurry, but that's the general gist of it.

Yoma are the first generation. They are what happens when small quantities of Dragon flesh is inserted into a Human. Yoma flesh being introduced into a second Human creates a Claymore which retains its human mind until it Awakens (which it inevitably will, eventually). Larger quantities of Dragon inserted into a Human skips the Yoma and Claymore entirely and immediately becomes an Awakened being.

It really seems like Dragon flesh and blood are parasitic, with Yoma, and Awakened, being the Parasite personality taking over the host.

You mean "did you like Claymore".

And fuck yeah I did.
It's one of the few manga that I've seen through to the end that left me completely satisfied.
I know the Priscilla fight dragged quite a bit, but I didn't mind, especially with Claire's awakening into Teresa

All the teamwork displayed leading up to that was great, if a bit meaningless in the wake of how amazing she was after that event.
And I like that they didn't try to keep going afterwards. They left it with this island full of ungodly warrior women that will remain in relative peace and order under their care.
They didn't need to go into the whole war bullshit, but it was nice that they gave a somewhat proper explanation.

The monsters were also fucking beautiful. Main reason I'm upset the anime went to so much shit is that I would have loved to see shit like the Priscilla vs Riful fight, or the twin tower of FUCKEVERYTHING animated.

It was pretty good, the war of the north was the highest point of the manga for me. Ending could've dragged on a bit less though. Also, anyone remember what part of the manga an awakened being that was basically a giant platform of death with a woman's body in the middle of it is? That shit started my descent into getting off on femdom I think.

Man riful got really fucking unlucky.

Zombies, the spiky missiles, the 2 hunter claymores and fucking priscilla.

Her and her bf had no chance.
>>
>>138835919
I'm not sure I even made it as far as whatever the fuck that moth is. The bit immediately after the war with the timeskip and nuns and magnificent seven shit had me hyped to fuck, then it just devolved into a series of Awakenings and fight clusters. A bit like Bleach cramming in Bankais. It's not necessary to have a whole section on Rafaella. And Priscilla came back to turn everything into powerlevels.
>>
>>138836047
Yes, because if I don't she gets pissed and I'm dead in a painful way, if I do there is a chance she won't murder me horribly.
>>
>>138826513
Riful in her powered up monster form almost killed priscilla and aside from the op Teresa nothing in this entire manga was even remotely close to that.

I still can't remember why she lost to priscilla.
>>
Monster designs are half the appeal, the other half is thinly veiled femdom potential and /ss/ implications.
>>
>>138836289
She didn't even come close. Priscilla was fighting Riful and the black mass that was invading her body at the same time. Regardless the power level inflation towards the end really hurt the series. The post timeskip powerlevels weren't immediately bad but the one-upmanship of the Abyssals then the Abyss Eaters then the new No.1 and 2, then the goddess construct, then Priscilla then Teresa was just bad.
>>
>>138836407
Yeah, the abyssal were supposed to be top tier but they ended up being simply strong tier.
