    I guess they could transform the part of the anime from the near end of Rigardo fight to the end of this season as a side story.
    If they cut here, there's maybe only one Drawing or two that doesn't fit. Particularly the one where Rigardo tells "Superb" shown before in the thread.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    I just finished this and I agree with most people here that the ending was poor. There was so much potential here for this show to be awesome and at the end I'm left feeling 'meh'. The interesting parts of the story, i.e. the mystery of the organization, and working within the big picture, are completely left out and it becomes a disjointed battle of powerups and who hates who the most. Blah. This anime tried to bite off more than it could chew, trying to include too much, and lost its focus.

    True. Sometimes I really dont get how the makers of animes can screw up so bad. Dont they have people that will criticize something before they actually do it?

    That's what im saying! Like how the hell do you get away with releasing garbage (talking in general). Unless the judges or whatever must have bad taste as well.

    I don't think the anime was trying to include too much and lost focus, because it was following the manga very faithfully, till the last few episodes where the anime tries to twist and give a "suitable and believable" conclusion to the series.

    Again, because the anime is based on an ongoing manga, there was no contract or agreement for anything beyond 26 episodes. At such, there really wasn't much choice for the anime to continue. Fillers wouldn't make sense, and the only other way was for the anime to hold until the manga completes, which might take years.

    For those who crave for more Claymore and isn't satisfield by how Pricilla got defeated, go check out the manga, which is awesome by the way.

    I intend to carry on reading the manga as I did when I was craving for some more Berserk. I'm just gonna hold out till more volumes are released.

    Yeah, I was reading the earlier posts in this forum and I was thinking it would be exactly like Berserk. They are basically the same: good plot line and such, except you can't cover such a good story in 26 episodes. I do hope they can shoot this and berserk into anime again.
