Second, soon I will get around to making us a facebook page, just be patient my friends!
Third, I will be focusing more on the actual REVIEW of my REVIEWS, hopefully this will provide more useful insight on the anime I review going forward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, listen to this.
Why can't I play bass like that? Or play bass at all...or any instrument.
*Ehem*
Could you imagine just sitting in your house and all of the sudden a demon explodes your door, doesn't have the decency to knock, doesn't wipe his feet, doesn't take off his shoes, and then eats the guts of everyone in your family like hes just the damn king of the world? Yeah, don't worry. He isn't getting an invite the the barbecue.

| BUT I HEARD THERE WOULD BE RIBS!!!!! T___T |
But at least he didn't eat you, right? Well I heard him tell his friends that it was because you didn't smell edible. Want revenge? Well you best hope you're a girl then, because if you aren't you are pretty much SOL.

Claymore
Episodes: 26
Age Rating: Teen 17+
Tags: Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Shounen*, Supernatural
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In a dark, cruel world full of demons known as yoma, there is no hope. There is no salvation. They hide among your people, and when the time is right, they attack. You cannot stop them with any human force. You wait, and hope your town, or at the very least, your family isn't targeted. But what about when they are? What can you do? Even if you survive an attack on your family, what is left for you? You fight fire with fire. You call the Claymore.
"Who are the Claymore?" you ask? Well there are three ways to explain.
Humans: "Who are the Claymore? Silver eyed witches. Monsters that come to our city to kill yoma. All of them have Silver eyes that turn gold when they battle yoma. I hear that's them releasing their demon powers. If you ask me, they are just showing their true nature. If we get lucky the monsters will all kill each other before they turn and kill us instead. "*slams door*
Claymore: "We are an organization whose only purpose is to slay yoma. We are half yoma, half human. We all had our own reasons for becoming Claymore, but we all did so with a purpose. Our minds ultimately decided what sort of Claymore we became, either defensive or offensive. We are not monsters... We still have human hearts. Humans may see as us cold and cruel, but we really just want to protect them."
Me: Beautiful blonde women with silver eyes that turn gold when they release their power. They have crazy, awesome big ol' claymore swords, and they have demon superpowers, and they are awesome. Claymore also have rules they have to abide by, which can be pretty rough with an existence like theirs.
Here, Allow me to introduce my favorite.

| I am told these are not bedroom eyes. |
Interests/Skills: Raki, Vengence
Misc: Underdog (I will not provide you with Clare's Rank.)
Clare is an average Claymore. She is closed off to the world, and just does her job, not concerning herself with trivial things like her own happiness. Unlike many other Claymore however, she takes extra steps to protect lives, and even shows human compassion at times. As I mentioned she is a bit of an underdog, and as a character I find this to be amazing. You can't just obliterate all of your problems away. Clare shows substantial growth from all angles through the anime, rather than starting as a fully developed character from the start. As a result you end up with one of the most human characters you will ever see. Clare is not without her flaws however, and often ends up letting her emotions guide her decisions. Her friends might describe her as "reckless" and "an idiot". The spark that ignites her growth as a person? Raki.
So that's pretty cool, but who the hell is Raki?
 |
| Pictured: Human male. |
Interests/Skills: Clare. He is Brave, sharp, and passionate. He is a good cook.
Misc: Still a human male
Raki is a human male who right off the bat takes an interest in Clare when she comes to his town and saves the day. I can't stress enough that human males seriously got shafted in this anime. Claymore must be female, so, sorry dude. Technically he could become a yoma, but even if he DID do that, he would be 1000x weaker than a Claymore. Well, nonetheless, Raki is all about getting strong to protect Clare. He is more than willing to spit in the face of a yoma rather than beg for his life, and I find that rather admirable. Still though, human male.
I'm not writing about 46 more claymore, NOT including deserters and predecessors. Go watch the anime and discover em' yourself. Mr/Ms/Mrs lazy. (Don't kill me Ms/Mrs lazy)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, I want to say there are a few very minor inconsistencies in this anime, as well as a few things mentioned that simply don't matter. Normally this would affect my score, however, this anime is so good that it will have no impact. If you want to know what those things are, as always contact information will be located at the bottom of the review. Feel free to ask.
Alright, now onto the anime; If you are looking for a laugh or two, you will not find a single one here. This anime takes the plot very seriously, and gets very deep, very often. People die, not everyone is saved, and that's just how it is. There is blood, (FUN FACT: YOMA BLOOD IS PURPLE) and there is a lot of it. There are a few cases of mild nudity as well, nothing to really concern yourself with, I assure you.
For those of you who are analytical, just sit back and enjoy the intense storyline as it plays out, don't try to plan ahead, figure out why things are how they are, and don't be like me, seeking out every little inconsistency. The fact of the matter is, they DON'T matter. Claymore may be the best, or at least pretty damn close to best anime I have ever seen.
10/10
