My 1st review! i actually plan to start with the newer anime of this season,den to the older animes i've watched. ok. Now on to Claymore.
Adapted from manga:Claymore
Genre:Adventure,drama,fantasy,shounen,supernatural.
My Rating: 9/10 Must Watch!
I've watched 4 episode of it so far( the latest is 4). n so far so good. its an anime with alot of potential. Has great art, animation,character design, storyline.The opening theme is also great.Go to www.gendou.com to look for the op n ed. WARNING MIGHT HAVE SPOILERS-read at your own risk!!So far the anime has been talking about claymores, a type of 'warrior' who is half human n half yoma( monster).But claymores are not born out to be half human n yoma. They are humans who fused yoma's blood into their body to gain their power.But strangely, only females succeeded in becoming claymores.They have sliver eyes and carries a big sword,a claymore around. Hence the names "claymore" and "silver-eyed witches" were given to them by humans. But the claymores do not refer themselves as claymores. Everytime they uses the yoma's power, they themselves become closer to transforming into a complete yoma.When that time comes, they will send a black note that is kept within their sword to another claymore. And ask of the other claymore to kill herself.This is because they each want to die while they till have a human conscious.Their eyes turn into a cat-liked yellow eye when fighting a yoma. Normally a claymore will have 1/2 human and 1/2 yoma blood.Claymores can take pills to turn into a 100% human for a certain amount of time(see screenshots,from now i refer screenshot as ss).But Clare, the main Character of this anime only has 1/9 of yoma blood.All claymores are numbered as their rank. And because of Clare's "special" condition.She is ranked number 47.The last rank of all claymore. Another character is Raki(the guy in the last ss),he is a normal human whose family is all killed by the yoma in his village, but he was thrown out of his village because the villagers is afraid that the yoma might be hiding inside his body(yomas can hide themselves in human bodies and even corpses).Clare took him in n have him travel with her as a cook.I recommend this anime to those who loves fighting,fantasy and supernatural.Not for people who dislikes Blood n violence.
