Claymore was a show I've been meaning to watch for some time. It had "some" great characters and episodes but most of them were forgettable and boring. The show started off good, had a great middle, and a boring ending. With the same tripes for every episode
Each fight scene is the same. Bad guy acts all tough and has a NANI moment and loses and there are side characters annoyingly saying hmm interesting, like DO SOMETHING. The fight scenes are barely animated. Because it does the thing in anime where each character teleports and moves faster than the speed of light. There is no weight or fluidity in the fighting animation. And my goodness the soundtrack, it's good at first. But they overuse a lot of the tracks. Some of this show reminds me of Berserk but it's just worse.
Now I loved the dynamic between Clare and Raki, loved Theresa, but that's where it really ends for me. The epsiodes with Clare and Theresa were so moving and emotional and it couldn't really pick up from there.
Also "The Organization" makes no sense. Seriously what's stopping the Claymores from just all leaving? They are stronger in every way and it's ran by humans, and humans mean nothing in this series. Because they can't move at the speed of light. Why can't humans kill monsters? Also the world they made is not very diverse for my Fantasy. It's just medieval times with humans, monsters, and claymore (breed of both human and monster). There isn't much expanded upon and it makes little sense the more I think about it. So if the organization controlling the badass warrior women as pawns is weak. Why do they have this much power?
I loved the creature designs l, even if the fights were so slow. Artwork is impressive. And the English isn't THAT bad. Japanese is better. That's usual with most anime.
If you turn your brain off you may find something more worthwhile. Good show with lots of flaws.
