============================

Well, leading the technical question and you know that the Dazzle audio / visual and introspection that leads are guaranteed, please know that Claymore is based on a manga of Norihiro Yagi (which, as a curiosity, like the Brazilian heavy metal band Angra) veteran who had an excellent work humorous, with nearly ten years of publication: Angel Densetsu. Published since 2001, the art of manga, as absurd as it seems, can be at times more impressive data than the anime (and believe me, this is amazing). Furthermore, Claymore similar extensive work with another very dear to the public of fantasy fan of mangoes, Berserker.

Pretty damn good. An anime with zero fan service made it to my top 20. Plus, the director made some good cutscenes with the yoma.

its awsome but the ending is bad =/. it dosent realy end since she never kills the one she want to kill ....

[PsychicShadow]

Yea the anime was pretty sweet, well choreographed fight scenes and an interesting story. The ending did kill the anime for me. It went from being a great anime to being just ok with that ending. When you watch it you'll understand. Apparently the ending is not based on the manga, just something to get the anime series to end, that's why its so bad.

Definitely a good show to watch though!

The anime is good all the way close to the ending, when it deviates from the manga,

The manga is still ongoing, and have a very good storyline, be warned though if you decide to follow the manga, it is released monthly, (even though the plot progress faster than many weekly manga out there... :D )

Well, as usual, I prefer to read the mangas than watch the animes.. The story is original.. Not too much fan service.. Even there is fan service, but it fit the situation.. It isn't ruin the story line.. The opening a bit lame and boring, but afterwards, amazing! Thrilling! ehe~

manga is better than anime...

the ending of anime is bad..and the manga is ongoing...

[mynameisdave]

never read the manga... but this is (1) of the best series i have seen. i hope the open ending means a season #2.

[Astarot]

I watched the anime first and then went on to the manga, both are amazing, and i agree with chuunin7, the story is unique and original, but the ending was bad, i also heard a rumor that there's going to be a second season, if there is, i really hope it follows the storyline from the manga, there's lots of surprises in it, if you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend reading it.
