Okay just caught up the the manga, some non spoiler things worth noting:

1. Since the manga is ongoing I have a pretty good idea where in the story the anime will cut off from - at 26 episodes.
2. The chances of there being a season 2 is the same chance as there being a season 2 to Berserk.
3. Because of the two points above the story may span for years to come... i could be wrong but it's a feeling I have.
4. Did I mention how similar the story becomes to the post-anime story arc of Berserk? ... it makes me want to spoil the current arc of Berserk so I'll stop now.
5. Galatea is hawt... Teresa remains the coolest Claymore but yeah Galatea <3>_>

Whew, I finally caught up all 13 available episodes, and I'm liking it so far. It still has your shounen action moments like the usual charging up, attack exposition talks, the "final" boss and such, but you can't go wrong will mostly girls doing it, right? :o

And I find it amusing those Yoma monsters has to use "tentacle"-like appendages to attack the Claymore. And I bet guro fans must have got their fill seeing them getting hacked and slashed every episode. :lol:

With each ep, the claymores get more and more curvy [which makes sense if they're demon forms are uh, 'swelling']

I like I like

No chapter 74 this month but instead we get a Teresa special which happened before the Clare/Teresa flashback which I hope gets animated, you can read it here:

It once again proves how ridiculously powerful Teresa is.

Episode 14 was pretty steamy! :shock:
Spoiler :
- Clare was still training with Irene in perfecting the flash sword technique. She made very little progress.

- So then Irene decided to chop off another section of Clare's arm and then chopped off her own arm so Clare could use it. It's a usual gruesome yet awesome moment of Claymore. :o

- Later on Clare encountered Ophelia again who is in her Awakened state. So it's pretty much Round 2 with Clare's new arm. Clare still had trouble, but it wasn't as bad as last time.

- Ophelia's final challenge involved moving her own human state into the tail of the Awakened beast. And yes she was naked, and yes they showed the whole frontal part! 8-)

- So she proposed Clare to use her flash sword tech to kill her without becoming Awakened herself. Clare succeeded of course!

- Meanwhile, the unarmed Irene encountered #5, Rafaela who came to kill her.
