I'm not as interested in Claymore as I was before either (I even removed it from favorites and lowered score I've given by two points on MAL). The best moments of Claymore are unfortunately behind us and I doubt it will change (maybe near the end, although somehow I feel I won't be satisfied with ending, e.g. with Priscilla living happily ever after which is quite possible). I've found great replacement though -
Vinland Saga. Check it out when you have time (unless you already know it).
As for defending Teresa - it's my obligation to tell the truth
. Seriously though, there are so many irrefutable arguments that I can't believe Ryus, SS and some others are still saying the same thing...
