Shounen Claymore by Norihiro Yagi

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

By marking some of the threads as "super sticky" you've actually made the sticky list longer, not shorter (now there is also a gap between sticky and super sticky). I don't see the point of such a change, in fact it's worse than it was.

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

As Goral and Wicked said, normally it's pretty quiet. There are some things that we need changed now and then, but overall, things are more or less in order.

The problem with the stickies is that it didn't look organized, hence the new structure...the problem was never the length...in the current format, the super stickies will always contain the threads related to the chapter...spoilers, chapter discussion and reviews(a trio that was always sticked)...the normal stickies are threads that the staff will think is worth checking out, besides the already active threads...

This way the threads are more organized, and that was the goal of introducing the super stickies.

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

As bene said, Super Stickies are meant to distinguish spoilers, reviews and discussion threads from other discussion threads. It will help us highlight threads with potential or threads that are related to recent developments. On the contrary, I find the mainboard more organized.

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

You know, someone compared Claymore to Freezing today on an manga site...They really are incredibly similar in some ways when i think about it, except one of them is much much better and less convoluted then the other (doesn't take much to guess which). Anyone else happen to read both of them also and noticed how Freezing outside of it's genre gimmicks is pretty much store brand Claymore, or am I just being hateful ?

tbh its insultful to actually compare those two. I mean i understand comparing freezing to sekirei but sorry not to claymore

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-05-03/claymore-manga-series-ends-in-jump-square-magazine hate my life. The strange thing is the comment of the mangaka. Make you thing what did he mean by that?

 

[faintsmile1992]

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

I don't see this as confirmation that Claymore is finished, rather that the people over at ANN saw the fuss people are making and are repeating he fa speculation as fact. Here's their evidence:

"In the June issue of Shueisha's Jump Square magazine this week, the last panel of Norihiro Yagi's Claymore manga announced that the series has come to an end."

This just means the "CLAYMORE-end" panel.

And then the comment about the noodles which mentions the editor, I don't have any idea what that meant.

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

So...as you probably noticed already, there are some new subsections, that are open to exploration, posting, and just general hangout. Enjoy!!

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

Thanks for the new subsections! I am enjoying them incredibly, and i think others do too

Re: Claymore 127 Spoiler thread

BTW, I've created a topic where we can freely discuss Claymore pairings, etc.: http://mangahelpers.com/forum/showthread.php/77139-Claymore-pairings-best-couples-wife-candidates

Speaking of threads, was the art/image thread deleted? I can't find it anymore.

 

[Goral]

Re: Claymore 127 Spoiler thread

It's also in Claymore Playground section. In case someone hasn't noticed, Claymore forum has grown much bigger and there are some interesting topics in sub-forums.

 

[benelori]

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

You probably noticed already that the Claymore forum has undergone some expansion. This was necessary because of the growing community here on MH, and the staff felt a growing community needs more places to hangout, share our thoughts and discuss the manga.

Here's the current layout of the forum:

• Main board - everything that is generally related to Claymore can be discussed here, new threads can be created as well as contributing to already existent threads within the boundaries of the topic.
• Forbidden Library - place where to discuss individual characters or issues that arise surrounding them, as well as the techniques and fighting styles employed in the manga
• Abyssal Pit - a place to pit the characters of the manga to fight in fantasy matches
• Playground - Place for hanging out, and other non-manga related discussions, yet still related to Claymore

All these info can be found in the descriptions of the particular sections.

Which brings me to the topic of the Image thread...many people raised concerns about the thread not being visible at all, or not much. Looking at the list above, it's clear that the Image thread falls under the last category of discussions, and thus the thread was moved there.

However as you've seen we've created a redirect on the main page, for those who are unfamiliar with the layout of this forum and the purpose of its layout. Also this post serves as a reminder, and a sort of guide as well.

It has been suggested that there should be an entirely different place for the image thread. The problem with that is the fact that the Image thread is a collection of artworks collected from different artists, and only on a few occasions do the posts contain an original work of the poster.

MH facilitates a place for original art though: Manga Art section

If you have any original artwork or have the explicit permission of an artist to post his work here on MH, please use that section. Each work of art will need a separate thread, and if we will be seeing a growth in the number of such threads, then the staff will create a separate section altogether.

Otherwise this Claymore forum and its layout serves best for discussion about the manga first and foremost. Other fun activities will have to be taken care in the Playground.

MH's forum layout was built with a deliberate design, and we can only stray from it so much. Both the Playground and the Manga Art sections are just a click away, so don't hesitate, and thanks for understanding!

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

I got a suggestion for the spoilerthreads is it in any way possible, that there'll be two threads one only for spoilers and translations and one for discussions of these spoilers in the future? I for myself was a bit annoyed cause everytime the the thread gets bumped it's just cause of the discussion and not because of new spoilers, translations etc. This month was very extreme on this part. It's just a suggestion on my end

Sorry for the bad style of the post, sent it via iPhone :-)

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

@PB|Ichigo
That would make this sub-forum more messy and there's no need for that IMO.
1) You can subscribe to translations and choose to be notified either via shoutbox or email or PM or a combination of these things.
2) For Edited Mangas there is http://www.mangaupdates.com/releases.html
3) There are also manga aggregator sites which upload the fist Edited Manga there is (even if it's complete shit) in case you wouldn't want to use methods menioned above
4) Once English Edited Manga is out the thread loses it's

Spoiler

tag and it becomes [Chapter] thread so once it's done you can search the thread and voila

In less than a week it has sold in almost 150 k copies, that is a great result. Last time it was 50k less IIRC. I wonder if the false information about Claymore ending helped to boost the sales?

 

[haegar]

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

^ of course it helped sales, as did moving onward in the general direction of Clare's return

still nice to see it is doing good, though I would feel slightly insulted should it ever turn out they simply pulled that stunt to push it ^^

 

[gherkin]

Yo! Super Angillis!

If not for the narrative thread review's done by Super Angillis I don't know if I would visit this forum quite so often. But the chapter has been released for half a month & still, no Super Angillis review.

Just felt the need to say I'm missing it, and appreciate it when it happens. Stating chapter events plainly & systematically helps clarify things a bit. It's a welcome ritual. Granted, it's time consuming to write, hence the reason I don't or can't do it myself.

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

Last chapter of Claymore (or one befoer that but more likely ch. 128th) has been rated rather high by Jump SQ readers. Here's the ranking:

Jump SQ #08 (04/07):
Binbougami ga! (Cover & Lead Color Page)
Ao no Exorcsit
Shin Tennis no Oujisama (Color Page)
Houkago no Oujisama
Adashi Mono
Ghost Soccer / Fujisaki Ryuu&Matsunaga Kesakatsu(Color Page, One Shot)
Gag Manga Biyori
Tegami Bachi
Claymore
To Love-Ru Darkness (Color Page)
Kakkokawaii Sengen!
AnoHana
Ikusaba Animation / Nakada Takahiro (Color Page, One Shot)
Gate 7
Ikotenyoku!!
Boku no Manga
Tosaka-san no Hito / Asai Renji (Color Page, One Shot)
Boku to Majo no Jikan
Parman no Jounetsuteki na Hibi
Teiichi no Kuni (Color Page)
1/11 Juuichi Bun no Ichi
Gokigen Steady
Rurouni Kenshin -Kinema-ban-
D.Gray-man
Senyuu。
Rosario to Vampire - Season II (Absent)
Embalming (Hiatus till Autumn)

It's in a 6th place (those with colored pages are outside of ranking).

 

[FrostyMouse]

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

Goral, that is one of the highest rankings that Claymore's had for a long while. In terms of officially ranked series, Claymore's actually 5th, as the Houkago is an extra PoT/SPoT thing that Konomi does sometimes, and it's placed immediately after the SPoT chapter. SPoT's always ranked higher than Claymore when color pages aren't involved, so Claymore's really 6th, as you originally put it.

You're not alone.
I've started reading Freezing for fun last month, and I immediately noticed the similarities.

Basically, Freezing seems like a cheap rip-off of Claymore.

It's not bad though, but clearly isn't as great as Claymore.
