    Generally I agree, but I find the fight scenes in Claymore just as good, mostly better though in the manga. A few times the anime surprised me with something original I was impressed.

    Re: Claymore

    Anime is much better than a manga form if the storyline is kept intact.

    Manga can never give you the following:

    1. Real sound (Music ala- the music makes the first half of Bleach/CowboyBebop/etc)
    2. The actual speed the characters are moving, and no, multiple straight lines around the character doesn't tell you the difference between a flash step and a quick sprint.
    3. Expression of the character other than exclamation points, question marks, periods, and capitalization.
    4. Color? lol not true for all though.
    5. Theres more, but it is 4 AM^^


    Edit- On episode 9 now, and Claymore is slowly becoming an all-time favorite if things keep up.

    I didn't realize that whole Teresa story was a flash back and that Clare was the actual main Clare til episode 13 ></

    Re: Claymore

    So is Claymore better than D.Gray-Man since I heard that series mentioned in this thread. I'm up to like Ep19 of D.Grayman, though I won't stop watching it. Just seeing if I should maybe check this one out after I catch up on D.Grayman.

    From the name of the anime and the few SSs I saw, is it some kind of medieval type of fighting with demons kinda thing?

    Well, I disagree on most things. If the mangaka is good, point 2 and 3 aren't even an issue. For point 3, whatever can be expressed in a manga can be expressed in an anime. Difference is you have text and someone screaming. And for point 2, I swear it's amazing how he draws motion and speed. Music and sound effects are nice, but it either works for an anime or works against it. I agree with colour though, some of the scenes and colours in the anime were amazing.

    However, It's just gonna get harder and harder for the animation team to keep up with animating awakened beings, especially the next bunch you'll see.

    Lol, that got me too, which is why people say Claymore gets even better after a while. I laughed the first time I saw the intro to Claymore, since people were gonna be think Claire and Teresa would fight.

    Claymore is better and it's not even close. Actually I think the animators butchered D.Gray-man and it's quite crap with the never-ending fillers...

    Good, if Bleach continues with filler this makes Wednesday a whole lot nicer.

    Not bad, I wonder if they'll make some Teresa OVAs or anything. Still anxiously waiting for ep.14, good thing I'll be able to watch it fairly soon.

    Both arent comparable. >_> Lucky star probably has 5 times more dialogues than Claymore.

    Re: Claymore

    Thought you were saying claymore get subbed faster than lucky star, I need to go to bed. Either way, both sub are 1 day after release..nothing worth getting stressed over. Dunno who subs it in 5hours..never seen those

    ...and lucky star isn't shit >_> not the best anime out there but still decent.
