Random Musings - Wednesdays Blues August 15

Filed under Bleach, Claymore, Random Musings, Romeo X Juliet by Omni | 49 comments

As had been previously mentioned, there’s no episode of Bleach today. In addition, there’s also no episode of Romeo X Juliet this week, and there’s no new episode of it next week either. In it’s place, CBC will be airing a half-hour series overview episode next week on August 22nd before airing episode 20 on August 29th. Now, CBC usually airs the first episodes of Romeo X Juliet every week on Wednesday, but in the wake of this brief hiatus, it’s possible that SUN-TV will take over and get to air the first episodes every week on Tuesday instead. In short, there’s a chance SUN-TV will air episode 20 on Tuesday, August 28th before CBC does on Wednesday, August 29th. We won’t know for sure until SUN-TV updates it’s online schedule, and that won’t be for another week or so.

For those of you watching Claymore, web Newtype has some interesting spoilers up for future episodes that seem to confirm it’s going to end differently from the manga. Show Spoiler ▼

It seems that Raki will witness Priscilla eat someone, and he’ll make his way to Pieta and see Clare Awakening, but be unable to stop her. In addition, Isley and Priscilla will sense the Yoma energy of Teresa from Pieta. Seems a bit odd that they mention that, but perhaps it means a showdown is coming. Either way, we appear to be in for an anime original ending.

   Shimatta… I was waiting so exited episode 20… damn it!
   But I don’t know oen thing. There’re 24 or 26 episodes? Can you tell me.

   Based on the current schedule and what the production blog has said, Romeo X Juliet will be 24 total episodes.

   I shudder each time I hear the words “anime original”. In my mind they are synonym with sucky, bad, annoying and retarded.
   It’s a pity that after 19 great episodes, things start to go down the drain with Claymore.

   What a lame original ending.

6. Glouglou at 5:46 pm on August 15th, 2007

   Hum my 1st comment, great blog Omni ! ^^

   Apparently Claymore doesn’t have much “manga materials” left. Wait & see, maybe they won’t pull a sucky, bad, annonying and retarted ending ( yep quite optimistic … )

   well what else can be done, I mean the manga is still ongoing and they already caught up to it. I mean unless you want a revisit of D-gray man or Bleach, I think it’s better that they end it now with a satisfying ending rather than drag it on forever and ruin it

8. qin at 6:11 pm on August 15th, 2007

   They should take a break! I love what the manga is doing/did, so this original story sounds not so great.

9. anonymous at 6:15 pm on August 15th, 2007

   they’re going to hit the end of the Northern Campaign soon. there isn’t enough material post-Campaign, there’s hasn’t even been any new main story chapters the past 2 months, only side stories (from what i understand Norihiro’s not continuing the main story til Nov). the reality is they never actually said there was going to be a second season, ppl have just been assuming that. and they have to end the season some how. and if y’all have read the manga at least to the end of the Northern Campaign, its not a very good ending. its a great set-up for the stuff after it.
   but as an ending for a series of anime, its horrible.

10. Orphen at 6:24 pm on August 15th, 2007

    ahhh crap thats just sad i mean as claymore fan i would not mind waiting for a year to see a second season cause its worth it unlike some anime “coughnarutocough”

11. tempus at 6:30 pm on August 15th, 2007

    ya they could have ended it after the invasion of pieta and then made a second season in a year or 2.but if we get to see a battle Show Spoiler ▼

    between a awakened clare and the abysmal ones it might be worth a new ending.

12. Mari at 6:30 pm on August 15th, 2007

    Well can’t really opiniate on the matter, I’ll just wait for the episodes and ending to come to a conclusion.Just because they go on a different route won’t mean that it is going to be horrid.

13. Kaito at 6:40 pm on August 15th, 2007

    Well, let’s hope they don’t botch this one up.

14. Gil at 7:00 pm on August 15th, 2007

    Anime Claymore ending = fail

15. blaho at 7:02 pm on August 15th, 2007

    @bearzerger, anime original endings aren’t THAT bad, take mai hime for example, it strayed from the manga but it was still a great series. And the Full Moon anime was soooo good, it’s one of my favourite animes

16. Shinn Agami at 7:19 pm on August 15th, 2007

    Aww crap, anime original ending? Oi! The series had so much potential. Another fanboy crushed.

    *sheds manly tears*

17. Xellos-_^ at 7:39 pm on August 15th, 2007

    @Blaho,

    In the case of Mai-Hime, both the anime and manga came out the same time. Neither was base on the other.

18. Mentar at 8:10 pm on August 15th, 2007

    You want some cheese with that whine?

    Seriously kiddos, you haven’t even heard anything about the ending, and already I see so many bawling infants by the side of the road. Could you please get a grip on yourself?

    The only thing we know is that the anime is obviously going to massively deviate from the manga now. Omni’s Newtype spoiler only covers episode contents up to episode 23 of 26. How it’s going to end we don’t know. Therefore, HUSH.

    Yes, they’re taking a risk with it. On the other hand, maybe they do manage to pull off something good. And then we still have the manga for the original advocates to follow.

19. bearzerger at 8:12 pm on August 15th, 2007

    @blaho: I never liked Mai Hime neither manga, nor anime, but they were completely different right from the beginning if I remember correctly.

    Ending it with the battle at Pieta would have been best. There’s already such a nice cliffhanger in the manga and in two years they would have enough material for another season.

20. losrit at 8:26 pm on August 15th, 2007

    Actually, given the rate at which the Claymore manga comes out, it’d take around 5 years for there to be enough material for a (24~26 episode) second season.
