[ Scene 21: Invasion of Pieta I ]

*sigh* Naked Priscilla…

This episode easily surpassed my expectations in terms of content, execution, and excitement. The manga was followed very closely with the exception of the scenes between Raki and Priscilla. The fight scenes flow wonderfully and are shown to be more gory than in the manga counterpart (screams, movement, and color of blood tends to do that). Ligardes’ scenes were pretty damn cool but the bastard took out Undine, Veronica, and Flora as a result (Jean is still alive). I thought the scenes with Priscilla and Raki were very interesting. That actually had her speak about her family (call out their names0 as she cried and continued to eat the human she killed. This gave off a sense of her not wanting to do what she does but rather she has no other choice but to submit to her instincts. This combined with Raki witnessing it all has now brought him to want to help and protect Priscilla from doing what she does. This builds some seriously potential drama for when Clare bumps into them in the final episodes.

Next week’s episode will probably conclude this “Invasion on Pieta” arc with Ligardes now going after Miria and the remaining Claymore. The anticipation is killing me. >_<
