a5c7b9f00b In a world rife with deadly creatures called &quot;youma&quot;, a young silver eyed woman, Clare, works on behalf of an organization that trains female youma halfbreeds into warriors with the ability to destroy these creatures. Considered a rogue for picking up a stray child and almost losing herself to her youma side by &quot;Awakening&quot;, she is constantly assigned rather dangerous missions. Claymore depicts a dark, cold, cruel, depressing and creepy world where happiness seems to berare and briefthe light of a shooting star. We follow the story of seemingly cold and distant but secretly burningly passionate beautiful characters who defy all difficulties and struggle to resist the monsters who could destroy everything good and pretty in existence at any moment. As the story develops, everything that we get attached to are instantly torn away from us again, and yet we are left with hope that it might all work out in the end. And to me, all of this is just magical.<br/><br/>Once I stop to think about it, I&#39;m not really sure why I love Claymore so much. In fact, I&#39;m pretty damn embarrassed by it. While I would objectively still rate itgood, there&#39;s a decent amount of cheese and cheap stuff in it which should prevent me from being utterly amazed by it. But it doesn&#39;t. I guess I just happen to have a soft spot for this kind of cold and depressing but beautiful atmosphere and Claymore has randomly found that soft spot and squeezed it to oblivion. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that both times I watched it I had a high fever. Whatever it is, Claymore could have turned out to be one of the most wonderful screen experiences I&#39;ve ever had.<br/><br/>That&#39;s right, *could&#39;ve*. There is exactly one very big and obvious flaw with Claymore. As it is based on a portion of slowly advancing, still ongoing manga, staying faithful to manga would require the anime to have an abrupt ending. Because of this, the producers of the anime (apparently never intending to continue the anime series) have changed the last portion of the anime storyline in order to give it some feeling of closure. And… they have utterly, miserably failed at it. Not only is the ending justabrupt, on top of that the last few episodes are now filled with nonsensical hysteria. It is so horrible it just makes me cry. It is not even my personal opinion, everyone else say the exact same thing.<br/><br/>I would have been more than happy to see the anime series remain faithful to manga all the way, even if it meant just leaving it hanging in the end. Were it to be continued in similar quality after several years, it would have been a perfect 10/10 and hands down my favourite anime and just one of my favourite things, ever. Even with those fatal flaws, I am still loving it. If everything was the way it should have been, it would have simply blown me away.<br/><br/>In the end, I have to call Claymore on its flaws and can&#39;t recommend ita genuinely brilliant anime, onlya decent one. But if my rant about cold and depressing but beautiful atmosphere rung a bell, I suggest you give it maximum chancesmaybe, just maybe it will find your soft spot just like it did mine. This TV show, Claymore in English, is a great show that many should watch for its entertaining and compelling content. It is set in a medieval world where humans co-exist with bloodthirsty yoma (demons). The only way to stop these monsters is to call upon the fearful half-yoma/half-human women warriors named after their main weapon: the Claymore. This show follows the story of one Claymore, Clare,she slays demons with a young human boy, Raki, that lost his family to the yoma. This is not just any &quot;monster of the week&quot; type of show: character development is a key part of the story and it gets more and more interesting with every episode. This is still a good show to watch for those not that familiar with the Japanese Anime genre. Even though I am not an anime fan, I can still say that it is one of my favorite TV series if not the best. This anime series is definitely not fun and fuzzy like Pokemon or Inuyasha, nor is it full of filler episodes like Dragonball Z where its takes a whole day to watch somebody go super quadruple invincible God Mode. There is action in every episode and you will not be disappointed. Be careful, there is a lot of blood and gore present in the series: it is not a show for the faint-hearted.
