Constant TFs in Anime: Claymore

ZodiacX · 10-06-2007

I recently saw this series, and I'm quite impressed. Not only is there gratitutios amounts of TF, its a very important plot to the story.

In a world where humans are hunted by demonic monsters eho can take human forms known as Yoma, only the women known as Claymores can fight them. These silver-eyed, armored, huge sword wielding (whoo hoo!) ladies are half Yoma themselves, and when they start to tap into that power, thier eyes change, thier bodies contort, and they become more and more like the monster they fight. When they push themselves too far....

Ill leave it at that. Might post a clip later if I can.

NM. I cant rip a clip because of the video format. Anyone have some?

There is a thread on Claymore here somewhere already run a search or check some of the older pages here...The only problem I have with posting some of the TF's is that some are spoilers since the TF is so tied into the plot.

I'm still waiting to read volume 10 of the manga...I stopped watching the anime since at episode 19 since I don't want to get ahead ;-) Its one of my running favorites.

As I understand it, the anime diverges from the manga at episode 20, and 23-26 are pure bunk per the manga. I dunno if thats true or not. Nopt sure how I missed the other thread. Sorry, Ill delete this one if nobodys intrested.

Yea, the Anime deviates alot, the manga seems to have halted until I think next month.

I don't think there are 40 episodes yet, I believe they are still in the 20s.

ZodiacX · 10-06-2007

Ya, that's what I gathered from a google search just now.

I'd like to give this show a chance, but there's been way too many spoilers posted, like in an earlier thread about a big TF scene it gave away too much by showing a part of a battle where some things happened... so I don't know if I even want to watch it now knowing that will happen a few episodes before the end.

ZodiacX · 10-07-2007

No, you should really watch it, its rather good. How often do you see strong women carrying around giant swords? My only real gripe is towards the end theres like 24 different characters and youre supposed to tell them apart when they all dress the same and have the same hair color. Even ones who had been in the show for 5-6 episodes prior just kind of blend in and you have no idea whos who...

I decided to all of a sudden start watching it, I think I'm up to episode 7 now. And I have noticed it's hard to tell some of them apart already. Good show though, I'm going to ignore the fact that I know what happens a little later down the road to some of these characters, I still don't know the ending itself so I'll go on and finish it.

I never had any trouble telling Clare apart from the others. A few eps in I mixed up Elena with Teresa or something though.

I've been having a little marathon of it today, went from 1-17 already.
