Claymore's very interesting. I love the battles scenes alot. Proabbly too much gore got it placed on the after-midnight slot ^___^
Windbell, Actually a lot of anime shows past midnight - even Nodame.
Thanks for the headsup Danny, it looks good. I am checking it out now.
Late night anime? hmm, is it because the workers come late home from overtime/company outing? As for claymore, I love it! Top on my watch list right now. I was rather surprised though when i heard the series is going to be around 50 episodes.
I have to agree with Danny, Claymore is truly entertaining. Kind of like a Vampire Hunter D with a female heroine and a Blood + but in a different time line.
just watched eps 4 this morning. ^^
I remember reading a preview of the manga and I did like it. From the pictures the animation looks good and clean, I think I will add this one to my look-out list. Thanks for the suggestion!
The anime isn't very eye catching at start but after airing 4 episodes I think people would accept to watch this anime. I had a feeling it was gonna rock and yeah after what it has produce d, I hope it's gonna be better than Blood+. Well just have to sit back and wait.
The story is developing nicely with Claymore can hardly wait for each episode to come out. Yea the animation may not be to smooth at times but the art style really grabbed me the first time I watched it. Every episode there are at least three or four scenes that make me think they would make great posters or desktop wallpapers. Whoever they have doing storyboards is doing a great job.
the manga is fantastic too... but i really need my weekly dose of claymore.. :D
I don't miss a single episode :D of both Claymore, Heroic Age and Naruto Shippuuden, thank God we have the internet
Man Danny its about time you got on the Claymore Train. This Anime has it all and Claire is beautyful I can not wait to see how Claire and Raki make it through this journey. Ep 4 was soooo emotional!!! I love Claymore
HELL YEAH. Claymore is awesome.
I love Claymore! I was waiting for this anime for a long time now. ^^
Pretty good anime, I really like the female main character. The kid is somewhat annying though. Elements of it remind of Berserk for some reason.
I wanted to watch this anime but currently tied up with Lucky Star, Gurren Lagann and a couple of other anime on my backlog... Read a few prewies on ther blogs and it looks interesting ^^
It's interesting anime, I want to see the elves soon :)
Rather read the manga
Whoa, interesting
Yo Danny thx for the comment on my blog and looks like we are the same in terms of figures as Aya Natsume was first figure to ^_^ after buying some gundams first, now I'm aiming for a Zeta Gundam and waiting for Mirei-san but still need to wait till June for her release here.
I don't usually like the gory anime shows, but I really do like Claymore quite a bit. Mostly just to see what Clare is going to do next. I don't know if I'm in the minority or not here, but I thought she looked a lot better with brown eyes. I also love the opening song for this show. Anyone got a title and artist for that song?
It's Raison d'Etre by Nightmare.
I read a preview of the manga. To be honest, I wasn't interested in it...
CyberSynaptic, I like her brown eyes too - not sure about the music though. Sauronu, Elves?
This anime kinda reminds me of berserk. I tried to read the manga but it wasn't very interesting.
looks and sounds cool, Id love to check it out!! Thx 4 da info Danny ... =P
i'm curious of claymore ever since its announcement that the manga would be adopted into an anime ^^ i'll soon download it ^^
Note: When Danny says it sounds like yourmah, he means it sounds like yourmah with a horrible Cockney accent. Damn East Enders.
though the graphics could have been better but claymore has surpassed my expections with its story, its has became the 1st on my anime list
I'm also liking Claymore more and more. And about the OP, it's called "Raison d'être" from the group Nightmare, who also did the first OP & ED of Death Note. The ED also rocks imo, it's by Kosaka Riyu - Danzai no Hana~Guilty Sky~ Can't wait to hear the full version when single comes out next month. Reminds me a little bit of Within Temptation. Definitly would want both full versions :)
Great stuff everyone, althoght doesn't look like if at first glance. The story, setting and characters are second to none.
After being depressed waiting 4 my dose of Anime, a friend told me to check out Claymore..and i'm so greatful!! It's not easy finding anime in Serbia, or xplaining why u love it so much.. :( Claymore is very emotional, the storyline is great, an interesting thing about the all-girl organization (a little sexist stuff that men r leading it.. :P) But Claire & Teresa r beautiful!

I Love claymore been watching it on http://www.tv-links.co.uk/listings/3/2887 when the links work.
you compare claymore with devil may cry.... i also like devil may cry, but for me, claymore has better story line, and i love this... anime. but, can someone tell me if this anime ends just like this?, or has the second part? my mail is greatfriendsx@hotmail.com if anyone wants know about where can watch claymore. contact me. bye.
Pretty ladies with big swords, ofcourse this is a hit!
The anime is faithful to the manga except for the ending part. Hopefully they have a second season, alot of character from the manga are not introduced yet and there's no conclusion to the plot yet.
How come this old post pop up all of sudden???
LOL, stupid me. It's "This time last year" =P
Didn't claymore finish a while ago? Anyway I really enjoyed it. I loved claire, she was a strong character and I love how the fact that she was the lowest ranked didn't even bother her. she just kept on truckin'!
claymore is one of my favourite anime of 2007. a pity the manga chapters takes so long to release. :-/
Umm this is soo last year?
This post is from last year on the same date. It's a new feature that Danny added to show a last year post in case you didn't know.
Looks like an awesome show,gotta check it out sometime later,kinda reminds me of Virus for some reason ..meh Night otaku;)
claymore's good but i hate raki, he's annoying
the current story arc is 7 years later. will love to see how a grown up raki looks like. a interest to clare maybe. ('~')
Great post Danny, I love Claymore. It reminds me of Berserk but with hot chicks that can't control themselves. I had to stop reading it because I was getting to far ahead in the story and running out of manga to read!
haven't started watching.. will start when I'm done with my exams. my friend told me that the manga's good too..
lol! seems like a very old post got bumped up! anyways i watched the whole 26 episodes of claymore a while back. The storyline was just great and got more and more interesting towards the end. Loved every episode of it :D Hope a 1/6 figure of Clare and Teresa comes out.
How could this slip under my watch-radar! *self-berating ensues* So much gore and action.
i thought their first season already finished showing? i'm now waiting for their 2nd season
Remember, they do show re-runs in Japan too.
I beginning to read the manga this last weekend!
Yea, its a great show, i saw one of the episodes and i was hooked. It kinda reminds me of blood+.
i've seen the series. there are a lot of moments there that can really leave you hanging. i also cried when you-know-who got her head chopped off in a blink of an eye. this is a good series, not great, but worth watching for sure!!!
I was going to watch this, but after reading the reviews for the series, I decided to skip out. There seems to be a general consensus that after the series stopped following the manga, the show started to turn b
