| Why does chicks play the main role in this anime? |
Devil said: Why does chicks play the main role in this anime? Chicks in tight clothes > boys in tight clothes. Imagine Raki in tight Claymore uniform and you will suddenly understand why mangaka chose GIRLS as main characters ;) |

hollywood said: Being a guy, this is like the swimsuit edition of mangas. It's definitely a guy thing and that's how Yagi-san sells his product. I cant seriously imagine Claymores being dudes. I understand your semi-chauvinistic question, though. But on the other hand, the fact that this series have all the important roles filled by women should also make it appeal to women as well...These Claymore gals might be pretty, but they are certainly not damsels in distress. Pretty but weak/stupid/useless females is such a boring stereotype... |
| I think the mangaka chose women to be claymores because theres a point made early on that Claymores were barely human on an emotional level. They were all stone-cold killers who are practically devoid of emotion. This was partly because of their training, their background and the alienation from humans. Being emotionless is already a masculine trait so this sort of psychological trauma has a greater effect if viewed on female characters. On the subject of Male Claymores: |

| uh who said that if it was males they too have to wear swimsuits? I dont wanna even imagine that O_O Anyways I was wondering what you guys were thinking. Well my friend said he didn't like claymore because females are greater than males and he being a male and all. I said i didnt care as long they are hot chicks. thank you all for sharing your thoughts. Baman said: Ranivus said: Now leave me alone in reading my Claymore Doujinshi ^_^ What!!

| Male Claymores (now awakened) rare, powerful and stronger than any one Claymore albeit they're all evil badasses. -copypasta |
|
| hmmm... yeah for being ancient male claymores from the first generations they don't seem at all... ancient or wise... |
|
| Well, Isley is badass!!!! The other Awakened ones are baka!!!! |
 |
| Ophelia is one single-digit number who looks crazy and stupid. And its not as if Priscilla is intelligent neither. |
|
| well the one thing that im puzzled about is that everyone is blond why is it that when they become claymores that they go blond is it like sum sort of thing like how the military shaves u bald |
 |
| Miria has light brown-hair (kinda orangey). (^^)b. Its probably related to the process of becoming a claymore. Makes your hair become all pale. Clare had brown hair prior and Priscilla has dark brown hair after so we know its not naturally like that. |

| XD lol this thread is called Claymore Q & A, but there were only 2 questions asked in 2 pages XD. anyway, to answer the first question: there are more women than men because that will get more viewers to watch it :D ( other examples include, love hina, negima, etc etc) second question: they are blond because its a sign of superiority,which was shown in the manga ( if u regard this as a spoiler, im sorry. but its not really a spoiler is it? >.>). |

Arekkusu said: first question: there are more women than men because that will get more viewers to watch it :D ( other examples include, love hina, negima, etc etc) Naruto and Bleach have primarily Male casts, Berserk has only 2 girls/1 demon woman in it. This isn't a harem comedy. |

This isn't a harem comedy. true, it isn't a harem comedy but i was only explaining my view on why the cast is mostly female. I think the creators wanted a dominant female cast because it will draw more attention along with the action and gore. Naruto and Bleach are part comedy and is aimed towards the younger audience where as claymore is aimed towards the more mature ones. you'll never see naruto or bleach have as much blood as claymore. anyway, to stop my self from being long winded, and turning this into long debate, more females generally means more views from newer anime fans, more action and gore means more views from veteran anime fans/ action fanatics. |

| holy crap those are some major manga spoilers |

hollywood said: Here are some Q's: 1) who was actually #3: Noel or Sophia? 2) Did Raphaela absorb Luciela's power while killing her? 3) Literally or figuratively: Clare keeps mentioning all "these souls inside me" or Miria "those souls inside you...": are they actually talking about the souls of Claymores being "absorbed" by the NEAREST Claymore to them upon death? 4) Is Raphaela the oldest Claymore? If she met chibi Teresa, she must be the most senior of them all. 5) Did Riful INTERFERE in the battle with Isley & Luciela? In scene 72 Riful said yes, but some forums said no...which is it? whoa, why are u spoiling the manga for those who havnt read it? at least put it under spoilers XD |

| [ spoiler ] [ /spoiler ] Its easy to see when you quote someone who uses the spoiler button. Once you take the spaces out they look like this |

hollywood said: Here are some Q's: 1) who was actually #3: Noel or Sophia? 1. Neither. Sophia was Fourth. Noel - Fifth. Irene - Third. 2.The theory of "abosrbtion" was not even introduced. 3. Figuratively 4. 5. Yes and No, as |

Devil said: Why does chicks play the main role in this anime? Well it follows Claymores. While I agree with other user's opinion it will draw more of an audience, it should be noted that males were used as Claymores before, but that was pretty much a failure. I'm not sure if you have seen that episode already. |
| 2. 3. As for now 5. well |
|
| I got an impression that the trainee period is during their time turning into full claymore...Its something similar like awakening, but the difference is that you go from Human to Claymore, through a short periods(which can hurt) |
