Gonzo produces music videos?

The heck, since when? Apparently they made one for what is quite possible my favorite metal band from Japan. Another one of those underground ones as usual knowing my music preference, of course.

Claymore 50 - 61: The Invasion of Pieta

Easily the favorite chapter among most Claymore fans for obvious reasons. Lots of action and new characters. Even praiseworthy is the fact that Norihiro Yagi successfully fit all those characters in the action while most mangaka’s fail miserably when they attempt to draw action scenes involving multiple characters. One-on-one fights are ridiculuous, and makes it look like you’re playing a game, but it’s a format that should be seriously overused by mangaka’s who aren’t very experienced.

I would rather watch two characters fight while the rest are having a popcorn on the side instead of getting a headache from a horribly done multiplayer action, thank you very much.
