Claymore is by far the best series I have watched in a long long time. It had great animation quality but that's only the icing on this cake. The plot line and writing are top notch. They make you really love the characters. You feel every agonizing cut and bruise. It hard to watch characters you love be beaten and this series is not one to shy away from killing off one of your beloved characters right after making you fall in love with them. While the gore is extensive and not for the feint of heart it adds realism and shock to scenes that are already tense and exciting. I found myself shouting at the show yelling "c'mon get it. Don't give up!" and "Nooooooo! Why the hell did she have to die!" I was emotionally invested in every episode and each character.
This show goes in the #1 spot for anime of the year for this viewer/reviewer. It looks as though they ended it with the possibility for a second season. I will pray the anime gods for this shows return. There are many things left undone and more to explore. My hope is that this show has just gotten started and will continue for a long run.
Now I just need to find something else to sate my appetite until next season... Lets hope the new batch coming out has some hidden gems like this series.
as always comments are welcome and enjoy the shows!
