| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pros: + Awesome color scheme + Weird character design + Soundtrack rocks, so far + Giant sword-slinging action Cons: - Tsundere Claymores... - Weird character design - Almost fatally predictable - Comic relief kid sucks Well, we'll see how it goes. I don't like the kid at all, I hope he dies next episode. His reaction to Clare was bizarre - He's not freaked out at all when she nearly cuts him in half with a broadsword, but he starts cowering in fear from her when she saves his life from some demon thing. |
| thats one giant monster down, thinking back this is pretty good like the manga is |

| first ep was decent i guess |
 |
| was fairly predictable and i didn't like the animation style a lot, but i still rather liked it. hopefully it gets better as the show goes on. |
 |
| i loved it!!! the soundtrack was awesome the animation isnt like every other anime and Clare tears ish up!! lol |
 |
| It's dark and badass. So far, I like it. The OST is really good, especially the opening song. |
| I really liked this episode. Excellent. The kid is kinda annoying but I see why he's in the plot- shows the "Claymore" have human emotions. |
  |
| I totally look after the Art 1st in every anime, didn't like it a bit.. but the story might cover it, |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |

I will definitely continue watching this. |
| Those damn asshole villagers!!! Clare kicks ass though! |
 |
| Kinda liked it, Clare was really cool killing those yoma with her sword. The graphics was great. I'll rate the anime art 8/10 though. |
| Liked the art style. The atmosphere however was ruined by the breakneck pacing. So much was crammed into this one episode that its impossible to take any of it seriously much less care about it. I hope they correct this problem in later episodes. |
 |
| Nice, first episode and already loving it. I like these kind of fantasy, dark animes. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It was alright. It ain't no Xena, but it'll do. I hope the show gets better as it goes along though |
| Great first episode, i think i might watch the whole series straight, though its only first episode there are so many questions about the series, can't wait to finnish it. =3 |
 |
| great episode. kid is gonna be annoying. |
 |
| No remorse about the loss of his brother? How odd. Good episode otherwise. I'll keep watching. |

He might have been done with his remorse, since he had remorse for his family, and he was like 'i already cried for all of them' (probably not). Or it could be like they don't feel like it, since he was a monster. Or that the scene doesn't suit the anime |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| It was OK. Nothing special. I'm not a fan of the art, but the whole half-Yoma half-human thing caught my attention. |
| i think i already know all the comedy skits that might happen between the 2, so i guess i'll thats left is the action and plot. the music reminds me a bit of death note, they have the same amount of blood too. |
     |
| Sick first episode. Why is everyone hating on the kid... already? Its only been one episode man. |
 |
| I really only care about Clare; a yoma can devour the kid in five episodes for all I care. |
 |
| Ok first episode I guess. Are all Claymore tsundere? |

| its nice the boy calls clare SISTER love this anime |
 |
| Pretty good first episode. I wonder how good the action will actually be in this anime! =P |

| Finally got the chance to start Claymore. Wow, an incredible start. Plenty of action, loved the plot, characters are nice too. |
 |
| Not bad for a pilot episode. I've heard some good things about this anime, so I'll continue on watching it. Soundtrack rocks, the fight scenes were ok, the silver-eyed witches shit sounds nice. Also: Tsundere Claymores |

| Did anyone catch the fact that they threw him out the village in the anime but in the manga he left on his own....? Also I like how they included what happened to Clare. |
 |
| See this is why I like Shingeki no Kyojin, monsters don't tell you they are eating you, explain how they are superior while I wait for a sword to cut their heads...they just fucking eat you. Generic, predictable, terrible music. Dropped |

 |
| Since when was the first episode the cover -____- |
| End Zionazism |
| The idea is exactly the same. I'm pretty sure that what makes Claymore popular isn't it being generic, predictable or having terrible music. |
|
| No. The first episode isn't the cover, the cover is the cover, the first episode is the first episode, the first part of multiple parts that comes right after the cover -____- |
| End Zionazism |
| Are you really taking it literally? What i mean is that you can't judge something by it's surface alone; and after the first episode you have only scratched Claymore world's surface; it is much more than that. Like i said somewhere today, i rather regret for completing an anime than regret for dropping it, but i know that most of people drop them right on the first episode if they don't feel hooked. That's ok, i don't blame it..i was just expressing my opinion as some1 that loved Claymore. |
|
| I can only really echo what has been said before. I agree that the plot of the first episode was rather unsurprising but I feel that the art, soundtrack and Clare's character more than make up for it. I believe Raki will provide an empathic outlet in a story where the main protagonist appears to be an emotional shut-in, at least externally. |
| Interesting start, a bit weird style of introduction of the character but well it seems alright! Lets see what happens next! |
 |
| Interesting first episode. Dark, nice art and very good soundtrack. I am pretty sure that every Claymore has an eventful past to discover but my concern is that Yoma seem an easy target for Claymores, so how they are gonna keep things interesting? p.s stupid cowards the villagers. stupidity can become one of cruelest things in the world. |
| Claymores are pretty ruthless. Liking the series so far, not a huge fan of the art style but meh. |

| Episode 1 Awesome |

| I don't like the kid at all, hope he will not be theree for the whole anime. Was a nice 1° ep though. Let's se how it goes on :) |
 |
| I don't like that kid. He ruins the show. |
