Claymore Season 2??

i'm really hoping for a new season too, but it might take a few years >.> the first season took 6 years of manga to make so... yea
 
The problem is the way they ended it and how it differed from the manga kinda finalised how the anime wanted to go.

They had Clare beat Priscilla which is her ultimate goal and revenge for Teresa's death unlike with the manga which the fight never happenend.

There's also the fact Clare and Raki reuinited in the end of the anime instead of Raki's 7 year training under Isley.

Both of Clare's goals are already achieved and the ghosts split up in the end of the anime.

If they did a sequel it would have to be entirely filler and not sure how they would manage that, since if Clare can somehow beat Priscilla (strongest being in Claymore universe) then there's no point in continuing the anime.
 
The anime followed the manga to right about the Rigardo fight, but they even changed that up a bit. So if they started a new series from the Rigardo fight onwarRAB that could work.
 
If they continued the series and it was anything like the last eight or so episodes I wouldn't watch it. The first two thirRAB of Claymore were awesome... then the storyline went to crap and too many useless characters were added. I doubt that they'll make another season, but you never know.
 
If you read the manga, the characters were not useless, they were a reason for them. Well, for fodder anyways. The real problem that has been discussed to death was the complete rewriting of the last 8 episodes from what was in the manga.

The manga had only 7 survive the battle and they all "quit" only to come back together after a 7 year time skip. With the way it ended, most of Claymores survived and Rafi was reunited with Claire. It will be hard pressed to get the anime back to following the manga.
 
The problem is it wouldn't make sense considering we already have those dodgy episodes where despite the fact Clare got her ass handed to her by a former nuraber 3 (Duph) and required the help of 2 other claymores to win, she somehow beat Priscilla which mucks up the power scaling and ruins the threat of the Abysalls

Its not like they can pretend those episodes didn't air, unless we have a hellsing ova/full metal alchemist tv series 2 type thing where they do it based on the original manga plot.
 
I haven't read the manga, but I trust you that it's good. The problem with the anime Claymore was they didn't plan the story right for a 26 episode series. There were simply too many characters and not enough development in the latter part of the series. The battles with the monsters near the end were also very drawn out and tedious with little to no story development. The producers/director of the Claymore anime simply had problems translating the manga to a season of anime. It's too bad they dropped the ball because the first two thirRAB of the season were great.
 
As I said earlier they could start a new series off where the filler started in the first series. Considering there redoing FMA to loyally follow the manga it isnt out of the question.
 
That still doesn't make sense, if its an official continuation of the 1st season, they'd still have the history of those eps out there.

Keep in mind while it was the most obvious instances in the anime with filler towarRAB end of anime, there were other filler/cut out stuff (Such as cutting out Alicia during her scene when Clare first encountered Riful)

Preferably they should do it FMA/Hellsing ova style where they begin from the start of a series rather then where the main filler started.

While they could do it the way you suggested, a new series having ties to the old one will lead to one problem or another. Have them totally separate.
