Clare is my kind of girl. A cool beauty as well as a badass with a huge motherf*cking sword.

I'm excited to watch this.

Heh, Claymores almost remind me of Witchers since they have golden eyes, are monster slayers, people fear them and maybe magic? I might actually enjoy this.

I hope Clare isnt a tsundere cause I'm not a huge fan of those since sometimes tsundere who are the MC ruin anime for me.

I've had this on PTW for over 3 years. It was definitely worth picking up, a very solid and attention grabbing start. It seems being a Claymore is a mostly thankless job. The fact that they're all women was a bit surprising though. Some of them in that opening, nuh-uh. Look more like elf men.

I haven't revisited this anime in a long time, hard to believe it's almost 10 years old.

I loved how this series started from what I remember.

I tried English dubbed, doesn't have the same emotions the japanese cast has.
Also the Japanese VA for Clare is topnotch in the first episode.

Really good first episode, already grabbed my attention.
Kid is a bit weird but I guess we'll be seeing him as her new cook-a-long, probably trying to make her more human than just a killing machine.

Read the manga a few years ago but it was still ongoing. Decided to get the full package this time, going with the anime since I already read the part it covers. Will also skip the last few episodes to avoid the original ending.

Raki's VA is really bad, his voice is annoying. Yes the character is whiny, but the VA the on getting on my nerves. The opening is shit too. Rest was fine. Like the aesthetic they went with, with the bleak and cold colors.

i was talking with my girlfriend about this yesterday, how shingeki no kyojin reminded her of claymore and i'm starting to see the similarities, although the cast on this seem a bit more interesting.
let's see where it goes.

Keep watching mate, shit gets real after episode 4.The artwork becomes really good later in the manga and the anime is pretty accurate to the latter in terms of art.

I'm a bit of a fanboy on the series, and just to say, if you think you're missing out on the manga, around about episode 23 or 24 you aren't, apart from very minor changes. In the early 20's it starts one of my favourite fights in the series.
And yes, for anyone still asking raki's parents are dead, him and his brother live with his uncle

Solid start, let's see how it goes.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Interesting start!

Clare is awesome and some of those shots of her golden eyes was amazing! It's sad how Raki got forsaken like that though but I imagine it must've been a hard decision for the villager heads as well, I'm not defending them at all however. Clare's backstory looked quite painful too, I hope we'll get more into that.

Music, the soundtracks are pretty cool and the ED quite nice too but sadly I'm just not feeling the Op. Character designs are a bit whacked for the most bit and the action choreography choppy but I appreciate the background details.

Looking forward to seeing where this is going!

Well for first impression the plot doesn't interest me as I have seen this kind of human vs monster, half human half monster, etc many times.... but the art and animation was great, sasuga Madhouse...

It was a pretty good episode, pretty much like in the manga. Soundtrack is really dope! Animation is little weird but it's okay!
Sorry for my english xD!

RIP Kentaro Miura :(
RIP Akira Toriyama :(

Good start, definitely the MC doesn't have an easy life with these beasts but it looks like Claire suffered as well back then, I'm curious to learn more about her, she's epic

Episode 1 and I'm already hating the kid. Clare is cool tho.
Really liking the somber OST, by the way.
