I was thoroughly disgusted with episode 20. STOP WITH THE HALF-ASS PLOT, DAMN IT. Can't they just follow the manga plot? What's so wrong about not finishing the anime in 26 episodes? That's what OVAs and second season are for.
I want my Clare/Flora's slashy moment back. (pun intended)
Some of your rebuttals I see the sense of, although they still rankle me. However, there are other things I just can't seem to get my head around (or accept).

On Raki protecting Clare: I just want him to stop going on about it as if he actually thinks he can protect her.
On Raki and his sword: That's more a personal thing for me; not a big sticking point. Some warriors would sleep with their swords beside them so that it was always with them; the difference being that they sheathed their swords first, or at least made sure they weren't going to stab themselves if they twitched during the night. Raki should have at least wrapped it up loosely again, although it probably is an animation oversight.
On betraying Irene: None of that matters, because Clare doesn't know it. Whatever Irene felt, or decided, or resigned herself to after giving Clare her arm doesn't matter to Clare, because she's not in Irene's head. She promised Irene that she'd be back to return her right arm one day. Somehow, telling a single-digit Claymore

Episode 20 for me made Undine, Deneve and Helen story side very interesting to see. Sadly this only small part of the over all episode. The whole Flora knowing every thing about Clare was to much for me. Raki tell couple stranger that reason he want to become strong is because of Claymore name Clare. Manga Raki would have common sense to know that people don't trust Claymore therefor is best not to tell them so he does not come off as complete weirdo. It sad that they reveal that Claymore are in Pieta to Raki and that Isle/Priscilla are heading in that direction. I just hope that next week episode make up for this episode.
That's it, no more shonen-jump adaptations for me. Wtf indeed..and in the manga, Clare refused to reveal the original bearer of the arm. And I guess they put more Teresa since she's a popular character and all...grr.
Just looks to me as if it were a good idea I haven't read the manga yet. The show is still quite fine to me.
Acting non-typical here really isn't much of a stretch, especially after the shake-up of facing three awakened beings at once (and nearly losing the majority of their available fighters) and knowing that they're going to have to fight more than that, one of which could likely kill them all by himself without too much effort.
Oh, the show itself is all right (save for Clare's revelation to Flora -- that will never make sense to me at all), I'm just irked at the rather abrupt and severe way they're suddenly veering off from the manga, and the plan they've apparently decided on at this point to end the show doesn't seem realistic at all. But we'll see how it works out. I might be pleasantly surprised.
(and nearly losing the majority of their available fighters)
No, they didn't. The only person seriously injured was Yuma, who lost her left arm but she's a defensive type, so she managed to regenerate it in time for the final fight. Everyone else was more or less fine, give or take a few puncture holes.
And no one besides Miria, Clare, Helen, Deneve, and Jean know about Isley.
I did say nearly. I'm well aware that nobody actually died, but 24 warriors mostly getting torn apart by three yoma isn't what anyone would consider a cakewalk, either. Many of them were nearly killed, as I said.
Lots of the less experienced warriors are now crapping themselves over how powerful the Awakened Ones were, and they already know that there are quite a bit more where those came from. They could handle three scouts, but every last one of them is a bit shaken about what's to come.
