Isley being weaker than Priscilla is something new to me.:o Anyway, you can't justify Raki's actions with Isley, the boy shouldn't have stepped in. Clare had every right to execute Priscilla, and Raki should've been the last one playing the policeman. Friendship and love saving the day would've been the same after killing (or trying to) Priscilla.

No, I just expected something to happen with him, like at all, and if they clearly couldn't advance him emotianally as a human being (again, think about Pieta, where he suddenly went crybaby mode, even though Clare could've died or awakened right there), at least give him some power, or the very least some valuable knowledge. He did not do a single thing since he and Clare got separated, but the funniest scene is still his training with Isley. I can understand that the manga could expand on that, but if they know they won't make that scene relevant at all in the anime, then maybe do something different. At the end, he was a terrible friend, a terrible fighter, and didn't bring anything to the table, aside from makin people facepalm. They could've at least make him fall in love with Priscilla (so instead of the training scenes we'd get some with the two of them bonding), so I could understand why he interrupted Clare, and why did he have to deny her from that righteous revenge. And let's say Clare would've turn into an awakened being who can't be changed back after the execution. Then Raki should put his lame ass sword to use and finish Priscilla himself instead - now that I think about it, that would've been the best possible thing to happen. Clare got her revenge, stays human, but now forced an innocent human being to do such a terrible thing to save her life, while Raki finally shows some balls, saves her friend, but his morals get fucked up, and he just doesn't know anymore what is right wrong - Isley could easily toy with him, for instance. An act that deepens and poisons their friendship at the same time. (And it still doesn't matter if Isley would've interrupted the killing blow, true colours were already showed by the intentions)

I wasn't even sure why Jean didn't get treated, howewer my concern was about her approach to her saviour: throwing away her life for Clare long before that sacrifice, so she can honor Clare? I get where the writers are coming from, but why couldn't just make her a loyal to death companion who doesn't degrade herself with stating 4 times in every episode that her existence is purely to die for Clare when it's needed.

Soul Eater did a much better job at creating an alternate story. It was enjoyable, you didn't feel like certain story elements were for nothing (well, maybe BREW, but at least they tried), and the ending is still just simply controversial - I'm certain it wasn't hated by everyone.

Oooh, and forgot to mention: the last song played at the end of the anime was greaaaat, it's sad they ruined it with that hippy crap.
