It does come down to that fairly often.

Indeed, and that's not something I like, especially when a recurring theme of Shonen is that you are worthless alone and must have friend to rely on: the world created by this mechanical logic is completely contradicting this, weak friends are useless at best and a hindrance at worst, so the most powerful are better without friends, and allying yourself with someone of your level is generally useless because what matter is the maximum of your group, not the sum of each of his member.

@Violet Orange: Hmmm, good point, I suppose each of them is probably on par with one of the seven ghosts. Didn't quite realize that...

I disagree with this entry (the awakened ones are in an Enemy Mine situation and I don't think they care at all about the well being of their "juniors"), and I wonder if there is something to be salvaged or if I should simply delete it :

So I finished watching the anime.

Is there any hope of another season, or will I have to just rely on finding the rest of the mangas?

Given how long it's been since the anime finished, I'd say the chances of a second season are pretty remote.

Oh well. It was good while it lasted, I guess.

Feeling kind of bitter about the ending now that I know there won't be any follow-up.

I feel like I should let you know that anime also tied up some loose ends that the manga didn't touch at that point. Like, Princilla did not show up in the battle of the north in the manga.

I know she didn't. I've read the manga up until a little after the end of the campaign of the North.

I don't know how to take it. It can go anywhere from this point.

Eh, I seriously doubt Priscilla is going to go down like this. It's starting to rather lose the suspense factor when the whole "Priscilla gets taken apart by apparently superior opponent, but regenerates and one-hit-K Os the opponent" thing has been done several times already.

Some of the awakened beings' forms this time are at least a bit interesting though, although some are rather generic. (Freud would have a field day with the one that splits down the middle to reveal an Eldritch Abomination-style mouth.) Octavia's awakened form is particularly interesting - seemingly a mix between Isley's and Riful's forms? Is that just a coincidence?

So. I just read this series yesterday (staying up until 2am in the process. >_>), and there's something I'm confused about... why do Awakeneds regain their hair color?

[up]Magic?

But seriously, it just works like that. Like why do the Claymores lost their hair colors? It just works like that. Not to mention the AB can transform back and forth between the humanoid forms and a GIANT, MONSTROUS forms, regaining the hair colors is the most insignificant thing about them.

@3of4: You know, that's a startlingly intriguing idea...

#494: Jan 4th 2013 at 2:53:05 AM

I was thinking about it though. Around the time when the second named 47 was introduced, they said how it was the infusion of the youma which caused the hair color to change. Therefore, shouldn't the more youki they use/the more youma-like they become, the lighter the hair color should be?

Maybe when they become awakened, the yoma flesh is fully integrated, negating such side effects?

It has been shown that Yoma can transform their bodies and even become people they eat. Why wouldn't the ones that don't feel the need to hide and keep a certain amount of sanity change into their former bodies?

Not to mention that you have people with hair that can restrain monsters. People who can transform parts of their bodies. Instant regeneration of major wounds. Etc.

Oh, and the whole thing about "half a pill not effecting you at all while a whole one suppresses your abilities and changes your eye color back to normal."

If you are looking for logical inconsistencies, hair color changing is just about the smallest one I can think of.

Oh yeah. I wanted to complain about that pill thing too.

Also, how did the organization not know how splitting the pill in half would keep all the benefits yet negate every downside?

VioletOrange Since: Jul, 2010

From what I remember, you have none of the benefits and none of of the default if you take only one half of a pill while you are conscious. However, an half pill worked exactly as a full one on a very weakened soldier who doesn't release a lot of Yoma energy.

That doesn't seems completely unbelievable, contrary to the fact that the author is trying to make us think that Priscilla could die at this point.

[up]That'scorrect. Half pills have no effect until you are unconscious.
