That was a very ordinary episode but it was pretty necessary though. Hopefully they don’t ruin the anime by like you said god moding them because it looks like it will become a good one

Claymore is shounen, btw

Claymore is shonen. It runs in a shonen magazine. End of definition.
This episode was really good; definitely digging into the thematic stuff that sets the series apart from lesser shonen.

Fukae: why isn’t Claymore shounen? I mean, it’s got all the traits of a regular shounen anime: lots of fighting, power-ups, a lot of characters with a lot of different powers and specializations, villains with godly powers that need to be beaten. Why does this one differ from, say, Bleach?

Claymore is seinen, not shounen.

“Also, I haven’t read the manga, but I have heard people say that Maka and Soul aren’t the most powerful characters at all, so it still looks promising.”

They are nowhere near the most powerful.

You weren’t seriously expecting it to start off fast after last episode, were you? They have to do some building up before they do anything again. The preview did say the title was ‘Maka’s crucial decision’ or some such, and it delivered on that well. I couldn’t understand any of what Maka said this episode, but the feeling of it was nice and the meaning damn obvious.

Also, I haven’t read the manga, but I have heard people say that Maka and Soul aren’t the most powerful characters at all, so it still looks promising.

This was a fairly unimpressive episode, but it was decent.

Apparently BONES will start picking up the pace and end the 1 chap = 1 ep adaptation. It could end up very good.

Having read the manga, I’ll spoil it a little so if you want to be suprised, dont read what comes down in my next paragraph.

Yes maka and soul gain some level of strength from this “curse” but it also serves to weaken them in other areas, so it is something of a double edged sword.
