I was’nt a fan of any ‘talk-of-theworld’ animes such as Naruto and Bleach before my encounter with Claymore just that the word ‘anime’ makes me feel like a nonsensical kid trying to play around some exhort fantasies. However, when I chanced upon Claymore I started to find out some interesting anime series or read.

The first chapter wasn’t really impressive if you look on the side of an anime-fan newbie but when you go through the plot development in the next chapters you will be enchedith how the concept was realized. The strength of Claymore couldn’t be based on some sheer, hasty generalization about the simplicity of the plot. Clare, aiming to avenge Teresa developed into a kinda mixture of intertwining fates and encounters cannot satisfy one’s lust for a good anime or manga. The reason I loved to continue reading the manga is that it has a realistic virtue. The characters try to find their values in a world they don’t even ‘really know. It’s emotion-packed, serious and sensible; it doesn’t go along with the usual series that make use of comic relief in the surge of a serious battle.

Well, for those who doesn’t yet like Claymore, it’s better for you to watch or read the amnga first then comment.

[...] “Priscella seem ten time clare level how will she deal.?” From this immortal comment would evolve the idea for Claymore: Blackjack version, in which Clare must face off against Priscilla in a no holds barred game of cards! Claymore Blackjack isn’t like the ordinary game, however, because when you lose, you have to give up a limb! Join Clare as she defeats Yoma with the power of twenty-one, and discover the real reaon why episode twenty-two is called “bust”! [...]

Wow, I can’t believe that after 73 chapters of pure amazing manga, you said that it was not too good. I mean, I’ve converted more than 25 people into Claymore fans and gotten more than 40 people to start reading manga and watching anime through Claymore. True, it resembles Berserk but beats in every department? I understand it’s your opinion but there’s a limit lol. I’m trying my best not to get carried away and start a flame war (and then get turned into a Niwe-esque blood splatter) lawl. I mean the Awakened Beings, The mysterious organization, Crazy fights, Romance….what’s not to like?

I love Claymore, but you have to admit a lot of concepts was copied from berserk. The huge swords, the way the claymores sleep with their swords, even the look of the awakened beings in comparison to the apostles of Berserk. But I don’t mind this at all, because Claymore is original in how it weaves all these elements, though I have to agree that it is going a little slow, but I have faith that it will pick up. Especially when Raki is introduced back in, one thing is for certain the weak Raki we all knew is no more, he might even become a male claymore (never know) adding a whole other dynamic to his relationship with Clare. There is also the organization, is it just me or are they not even human themselves. Well, whatever happens I am looking forward to it.

Diphobus: actually that happens quite often. Just not as drawn out as others like it.

this is my snake/wobbling (can’t remember) sword. But don’t be fooled, it’s only an illusion. In reality my arm is vibrating really really fast. This causes blah blah blah blah blah.. blah blah.. blah blah blah. blah. Now we shall fight, and then I will easily over power you. As soon as it seems like it’s all over for you and you don’t stand a chance BAM! Credits (anime). Next episode, protagonist finds rediculous way once again to overcome the seemingly impossible opponent completely causing the wobbly swords advantages to seem completely pointless and the protagonist swiftly cleans up. Mean while, a third party decides to enlighten us as to the protagonists overwhelming change into a badass. Formula completed, repeat.

Don’t let my sarcasm fool you, because all in all I absolutely love claymore.

The thing that marks the Claymore Anime out from many like it is the way the characters don’t spend half the episode standing round saying “This is my ability; this is what it does; now you will die.” By which point the other character should have killed him instantly but instead waits for the first speaker to finish talking. Claymore doesn’t do that.

Everyone can die that’s one of the main reason I love Claymore. Power level is better than other usual shonen series. Fighting is mainly rely on teamwork not rely on only one person. I thought Claymore is one of the most brilliant manga I’ve ever read. That’s my opinion of course. And the latest chapter make me love it even more.

I’ve read somewhere that the author decides to release about 25-30 volumns. It’s also a good thing because it means that the author knows how to end the series. So, readers can make sure that this won’t be another never ending series with a filler plot just to extend the series like many popular series out there. I will be sad when the series end but I’m sure that it’s worth my time.

On other note, I’ve heard so many people try to compare Claymore with Berserk. I may be a minority here but I personally don’t feel attach to Berserk character that much compare with Claymore. Again that’s just my own opinion. ^_^
