    Just remember, the beginning is the slow part of the series. This series has tons of mysteries piled onto it.

    Think of the ones we can think about from just the first episode:

    -How many youmas are in the world hidden as humans, where do they come from?
    -How exactly are the Claymores made? How does their organization work?
    -Why are all the Claymores female?
    -Is Raki completely worthless?
    -Where do the other Claymores in the OP come into this series with Clare?

    These are just some of the few. I hope that episode two will inspire even more questions like these.

    Apparently he can cook, right?

    but yeah, the other questions are good and mysterious

    Episode 2 h264 - Eclipse
    Episode 2 xvid - Eclipse

    The first two episodes were very promising. I can't say Raki's uselessness would really appeal to me, but I'm more than willing to give him more episodes to grow some spine. After all, if he continues like this for much longer, I can't see him surviving for very long. And of course the Claymore organization dude already chatted with him a little, so who knows, he might find himself with more (and more interesting) options in the future.

    Anyway, this looks just like my kind of series in many respects. Mystery and cool characters, very heavy fatefulness, like the second episode demonstrated forcefully enough. Maybe Clare tries to fight against her looming lost of control by keeping a genuine human around, constantly reminding her of her original half.

    With all the praise you guys are giving to this series, I just have to download and take a look. But women with big swords have never been my kinda thing really. Still...... *clicks*

    Don't be like that Psyke, they're wearing tight clothes. Isn't that enough?

    Look at 3:18 of episode 2, look's like he won't be useless for long. That or he's just carrying that around to catch lizard's like Claire did.

    I noticed that squire sword too. If the story does follow this particular cliche then he'll likely try to become a warrior to fight in Claire's stead so she won't turn into a Yoma as quickly. Claire might just indulge him, since I think she's trying to hold on to her humanity through interacting with him. I doubt he'll amount to much as a fighter, but if episode 2's emotional outburst was the start of a trend then it will be interesting to see more instances of Claire completely ignoring his pleas for her to be more soft and idealistic.

    I really fail to see how Raki could side against her on that one. Elena was obviously in pain, and it seems like one of the worst things a Claymore can suffer is turning into what they are charged to hunt.

    Was Clare hurt by having to do that? She was shocked in getting the card, and emotionless as she did it, but I think she was glad to give that kind of mercy to her closest friend.
