| I honestly though something was wrong with the last two episodes it felt like the story was going wildly out of synch with the characters. I am reading the chapters now and I see that my instincts were correct. The anime was great don't get me wrong I just wish they would have been truer to the Manga and the studio had more funds to make more episodes. |
  |
| I think the show as a whole is 8/10, easily. For sure, I liked the first half way more, with the constant flow of new backstory in basically every episode. Towards the end, they just fought for hours which became a bit dull. I think the ending was decent, but then I'm taking a second season for granted. Felt kinda obvious to me. Sure, everyone was basically going back to square one (except for Jeane) but I think the future developments of the remaining characters could prove very fruitful indeed. But if the anime stays as it is, well, then the ending was a total waste of animation. |

Except that they went out of the way to do an anime-original ending and have no intentions of doing a continuations. Seriously, if they wanted a continuation they would have went with manga storyline instead of creating such a shitty 6-episode filler to end the series. |

| Pretty good ending. She should've pwnd Pricilla though!! An amazing show, I'll definitely be rewatching this one a few times. Just wish it was longer!! Urahara Out!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Oh god, the last few episodes of Claymore sooo turned into DBZ... The ending wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, just wasn't good or up to my expectations. Overall, alright show. |
 |
| It was weird == I say 7.5/10 lawl Too much flashbacks Annoyed me lawl |
 |
| the problem with anime based on continuing manga have to stop eventually. it rally was not necessary to deviate from the manga. it would have been a good stopping point to be faithful to the manga while the manga continues. The anime itself was good up to this point. after having read the manga, i just don't see why they would do that since it completely messes up any possible starting point for an S2 should they make one. |

| I really enjoyed this show, especially from the flashback arc (with teressa) onwards, but it took a total nosedive with the last few eps. While there have been elements before, it turned way too shounen in the end with powerlevel talk, endless talks about how they want to kill their opponents and 1001 useless repeated flashbacks. 8/10. Too bad, I wanted to give it a 9. I think I start reading the manga |
WinterNightsFall said: Meh. I love the drop in quality. Oh yes. Claymore will still be one of my favorite anime, mainly because of Clare and Teresa, but....meh, even I'm dissappointed. >.< Guess I'll have to go start reading the manga and see how much more kick ass it is than the anime. ^_^ Yeah! *High fives* |
 dearest my bb shinah ty for the bday present <33 |
| Would have retained it's 10 from me if gayish Raki hadn't stopped Clare from killing Priscilla. Jeez. |
 |
| Rocky could not have been more of a faggot. Like he takes the cake when it comes to faggots. Hands down. |
| The end pissed me off. The last 4 episodes were wayyyyyyyy too rushed. Overall, the series gets an 8/10. It was amazing up to episode 22 and then it got incredibly fast. Eh. Still is a good show though. |
 |
| Wow, I am not happy. The end was just bleh. She didn't even beat anyone but that stupid lion guy. And that was lame too. I'll probably have to read this manga that everyone says is better so I can forget the crap I've been watching for the last hour and a half. |
| Pure awesomeness for the 20 first episodes. The ending.. It was so horrible I really don't even wanna talk about it |
| Sure, the ending and last few episodes weren't nearly as good as the rest. But, still, Claymore was good anime none the less. If it had kept it's pace I would have given it an 8, but with the very DBZ like last episodes I'll have to drop it down to a 7. See how the last few episodes only made me drop the score by one point? You can't let the last few episodes make you forget how great the ones before it were, you just can't. 7/10 |

w3452432 said: agee worst ending ever! i really hate that RakiI'm Sorry but that was one of the worst anime endings I have ever seen. What was the point of everything.. everyone would've been better off if Claire didn't go after Priscilla at all. |
saizo6 said: That ending was really lame...they all went off and lived happily ever after. But then again it was to be expected because the last couple of episodes was crappy too. This is getting a 7/10 at most. Lame ending....it seemed to have a second season, but it doesn't have any. There wasn't even any appearance of number 1 and 2. Also those 3 "big" bosses didn't stand out. And what about the organization? To think what really happened, nothing has changed. Priscilla is alive, the "main" villains aren't dead...We are just at the starting point again. This anime was pretty good, but the ending was just absurd. |
| I have to admit at first I really thought the ending wasnt that bad until I read the replies here. After thinking about it, there are a lot of plotholes and things that could have been done better. I still gave the anime a 9/10 since I havent read the manga and don't know what actually happens in the manga. As for Raki, I didn't like his part in the ending and it would have been nice if she did slash him but I changed my mind about that after thinking about when he told her he loved her. |
| The episode was good but they rushed it imo. They rushed all the last few episodes. The battle should have taken longer. I also wonder why Clare didn't kill Priscilla. Stupid Raki jumped in front of her. I'd say push him away and swing that sword. Priscilla is a yoma after all, and in the state she was in she could have still died as human, for a bit. That might have provoked Easly tho. Nevertheless, it still was a kickass episode. |
| Skipped through most of the comments I enjoyed the anime immensely over anything I have watched in a while so I wasn't really disappointed in anything because I knew the manga would continue. Kind of the reaction I had with BERSERK. So off to the manga where only more awesomeness can occur . |
| it wasnt that bad comparing to other endings but i would like to see who are the #1 and #2 they didnt show it and why clare is #47 i wish the second season if it comes could explain this things and we also dont know who is the other powerfull bad girl |
| meh. everyone has their opinion. i, for one, loved the ending. 15/10 the open-endedness of it, even if there is no second season, leaves one to imagine. and that makes me happy. i can think whatever i want from here on it, and no one can prove me wrong. it did have it's (few) low-points.... but overall... absolutely fantastic. |

| Wow. Shoot me in the FACE. What a poor excuse for an ending! I feel violated. Ugh. If someone had told me that Claire decides to stop... and possibly "try again later" at the end, I'd be like... you're kidding ... and walk away... no.. I would RUN. RUN FAR AWAY. This ending might have possibly been successful if there was any character development in ANYONE. The only person who had good character development was Teresa. And she's dead. Raki is a douche. Claire is predictable... all those who were complex and interesting (teresa, irene-gave claire her arm-...etc) are dead or have little to no exposure. Like, no Isley backstory...etc??? There are sooo many plot-holes it's incredible. If I was basing my opinion on the first 19 episodes, this would be AT LEAST be a 8/10 or 9/10. What was the point of Irene giving Claire her arm?? Or Ophelia telling claire to kill priscilla... ...and screw Pricilla. She's so conflicting illogically. And I'm done... |

| I know the Manga ends differently and that the Anime was reaching it's climax before a structured ending of the Claire/Priscilla storyline had materialized in the Manga but still it seemed like they rushed the ending and should of just done the obvious and let Claire kill Priscilla I understand there is the 'deeper' meaning of Claire choosing not to kill Priscilla but in the nature of the type of Anime Claymore is it should of happened. For me Claymore was a case of the obvious ending should of been the one chosen. Imagine what Death Note would of been like if they all met up in the Warehouse and then Light decided to change his wicked ways and just go off into the sunset. Thankfully that didn't happen! |
| In the Beginning i wasn't sure if i would like Claymore that much. Then in the middle of the series it became one of my favorite anime. By the end, i knew that the anime had a different end than the manga, but that didn't bother me, because i believed they would give us CLOSURE. But everything changed when i witnessed this final episode. Not only did the fight end somewhat too fast ( i taught priscilla was supposed to be the strongest ... ) Raki also became the biggest pain in the ass, he's like an invincible fly you just can't get rid off. When you sum it all up, THERE'S NO FREAKING CLOSURE AT ALL !!! Now they make you wait for a second season and if they ever make one they won't be able to follow the manga, plot holes will only multiply ... All in all, i really like this series, but the end made no sense. |
| Nice way to ruin an anime . All the repetitive -Clare gets saved then her saviors get hurt then she becomes the strongest and defeats the enemy- , -Raki cries- , - lots of sentimental moments - blah blah and , to ruin it even more , after Priscilla is defeated Clare DOESN'T kill her ! just because Raki wants a world made of rainbows and pink fluffy hearts where nobody dies , nobody gets hurt and yomas are pets for five years old kids.... ...was a waste of time... |
| Ick. I dunno what else to say I'm joining the disappointed party. MusashiRose said: If I was basing my opinion on the first 19 episodes, this would be AT LEAST be a 8/10 or 9/10. I agree with this. This series could have landed a 8 or 9 if it had continued to get better but for some reason it went downhill. Nothing that I wanted resolved by the end of the series resolved. Creepy organization guy didn't receive tons of bad karma, Priscilla is still alive and well and presumably going to be trained to get stronger, Raki is still a wuss... What's worse is that I bet if there were another 3 episodes we'd still be here with the storyline. Did they intend at all to do another season? If so I hope they get a better writer. This would probably be a 6.5 for me but I'm rounding down. |
| Such junk... |
| Hm, I really stared to like Claymore but the final fight ruined everything. It wasn't even a final fight, it was some kind of crappy version of an open end! Still, overall it was great though the many flaws. The background music really got on my nerves, it wasn't fitting at all, especially" 覚醒への乱れ". It appeared in episode 4 or so and I hoped from then it wouldn't appear anymore! But... they used it over and over. Well, at least the art was nice. Too bad no second season or extras exist though... I guess I'll start to read manga. |
| this anime is cool hope that a second season will be made because the manga is still ongoing and that the anime ending is kinda open ended |
| God damn, we need an S2. |
| Ending wasnt that bad like everyone is saying, though the manga is still much better... |
 |
| Why are people pissed that Raki stopped Clare from killing Priscila? If that would have happened more people would have been even more pissed that it deviated even further away from the Manga. The whole Pieta thing could be overlooked and fixed, but the death of Priscila couldn't. Although annoying, I find it believable that a little kid who's family was eaten by monsters would be drawn and attached to the person who saved him, and has the power to protect him. And in exchange he wants to be able to protect her since he couldn't save his family. Raki also becomes more of a badass and less annoying after 7 years anyways. People are so hard to please! |
| *****SPOILERS***** WELL I"M READ THE MANGA AND I CAN TELL YOU THIS ISN'T HOW IT'S GONNA END!!! Raki doesn't meet Clare in Pieta. In fact he is like an adult in volume 15 and still hasn't met her. Although Priscilla is still with him. She pissed me off in the manga and when I watched the anime she certainly didn't impress me. I still hate her for killing Teresa. *flips Priscilla off* I'm stilling reading I have to read the 16th volume. Lame huh? |

Nabarimaniac15 said: *****SPOILERS***** Put it in a spoiler tab next time. I haven't read the manga (although I will give it a go now), but even I felt there was something missing from the end, a spark, per say. This did drop the rating down a bit. Nevertheless, the show was very enjoyable for non-manga readers. Might change my score if the manga puts it better in my eyes. |
