It's not quite Clare's awakened form. She learns that one Claymore can awaken and stabilize another one with sufficient bonding between them, and finally realizes she can apply that knowledge to awaken not herself but Teresa. Just preceding her transformation into Teresa we see her undergo this very realization, as she ponders what was meant when she was told that she was "awakening wrong".

I missed all the subtleties when reading the manga. Thanks for pointing that out. Gao The full question was about the differences between the endings of the anime and the manga and implicitly about why a difference existed , which your answer addressed.

The awakening bit was ancillary, and it was all I was up to addressing at the time the mere last sentence of your answer, in fact.

AceMos posted Crimsonmon posted Good ending that should have happened five years sooner i found no issues with the pacing Because you weren't reading it once chapter a month In a good way.

After the Regardo fight it went more towards the generic shounen path For example, Miria, Helen, and Deneve all should have died. If you havent seen it - watch the anime. It's very good and has a unique ending. User Info: Mac Arrowny. Good ending that should have happened five years sooner i found no issues with the pacing Because you weren't reading it once chapter a month Surely no one was dumb enough to read a series like Claymore one chapter a month.

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. You think you've Got problems? User Info: MajesticFerret. People were so sick of seeing Priscilla's smug emotionless face I don't think anyone questioned or raised any flags when Teresa completely revived herself from Clare which really didn't make any sense tbh.

Teresa somehow completely revived herself, personality and awakened power level and all from just a sliver of her Youki being in Clare. But like I said, who cares? But it doesn't. I guess I just happen to have a soft spot for this kind of cold and depressing but beautiful atmosphere and Claymore has randomly found that soft spot and squeezed it to oblivion. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that both times I watched it I had a high fever.

Whatever it is, Claymore could have turned out to be one of the most wonderful screen experiences I've ever had. There is exactly one very big and obvious flaw with Claymore. As it is based on a portion of slowly advancing, still ongoing manga, staying faithful to manga would require the anime to have an abrupt ending. Because of this, the producers of the anime apparently never intending to continue the anime series have changed the last portion of the anime storyline in order to give it some feeling of closure.

Not only is the ending just as abrupt, on top of that the last few episodes are now filled with nonsensical hysteria. It is so horrible it just makes me cry. It is not even my personal opinion, everyone else say the exact same thing. I would have been more than happy to see the anime series remain faithful to manga all the way, even if it meant just leaving it hanging in the end. Even with those fatal flaws, I am still loving it. If everything was the way it should have been, it would have simply blown me away.

In the end, I have to call Claymore on its flaws and can't recommend it as a genuinely brilliant anime, only as a decent one. But if my rant about cold and depressing but beautiful atmosphere rung a bell, I suggest you give it maximum chances as maybe, just maybe it will find your soft spot just like it did mine. This TV show, Claymore in English, is a great show that many should watch for its entertaining and compelling content. It is set in a medieval world where humans co-exist with bloodthirsty yoma demons.

This show follows the story of one Claymore, Clare, as she slays demons with a young human boy, Raki, that lost his family to the yoma. This is not just any "monster of the week" type of show: character development is a key part of the story and it gets more and more interesting with every episode.

This is still a good show to watch for those not that familiar with the Japanese Anime genre. Even though I am not an anime fan, I can still say that it is one of my favorite TV series if not the best. This anime series is definitely not fun and fuzzy like Pokemon or Inuyasha, nor is it full of filler episodes like Dragonball Z where its takes a whole day to watch somebody go super quadruple invincible God Mode.

There is action in every episode and you will not be disappointed. Be careful, there is a lot of blood and gore present in the series: it is not a show for the faint-hearted. This review was made after watching the entire show of 26 episodes. I have never been interested in anime, to be honest, until about a year ago I'm 32 years old , when I decided to give a chance to one of the most famous ones in the form of Attack on Titan.

Suffice to say, i realized what I had been missing over the last couple of decades so I treated myself with Berserk, Vinland Saga and Tokyo Ghoul so far.

But this review isn't really about any of those. It's about another anime that seems a bit like an underdog when compared to those heavy hitters.

And this anime is none other than Claymore, which by far impressed and touched me the most out of everything I've seen so far. In a nutshell, Claymore is about a a group of superhuman female warriors which fight monsters known in-universe as Yoma.

These young women bear the same name as the show itself Claymores, mostly because of the gigantic swords they use to do their fighting with.

In a way, you can think about Claymore as a mix of Berserk and The Witcher. At first glance, the premise of the show sounds very simple and straightforward, right? In a way, it is and in other ways it isn't. Without spoiling anything, this is a tale of revenge, betrayal, friendship, comradeship, despair and hope. And not necessarilly in that order. In any one aspect taken individually, I'd say Claymore is inferior to the anime I mentioned earlier. Attack on Titan has a more epic story with many characters that get enough screen time.

Vinland Saga is more cohesive and has tighter storytelling, while Berserk has more in-depth character reflection and a dichotomy between the leads which is legendary among anime fans at this point. So why did I love Claymore more than anything else? Short answer, the characters.

The main character, Clare, is one of the best protagonists in a series I've ever seen. She doesn't even have a huge amount of dialogue, but what is there is usually well written. As you learn more about her and her story, you can't help but empathize and connect.

I gotta say the show has some moments where it pulls on your heart-strings like nothing else. The supporting cast is is also full of interesting characters, both on the good and bad side. Some of them have very short presences in the show, but they are very memorable nevertheless.

The world of Claymore is quite a bleak one but at the same time beautiful. Despair and fear is as pervasive as it was in Berserk, for example. But, even so, one of the things that impresse me most in this world and story is the were the pervasive themes of hope and perseverance. Now matter how dark things got, and they do get really dark, you still feel the character's holding a bit of hope that they will prevail.

And that bit of hope passes onto you, the viewer, as some scenes keep you on the edge of your seat and you tell yourself that there's no way to win but still hope that they will. And while these warrior women have superhuman abilities that wouldn't be out of place in a Marvel or DC comic, they never feel overpowered, as the horrors they have to face are an order of magnitude higher even than that. Animation-wise, the show might feel a bit dated, but it is in no way bad.

Combat is extremely fast and stylish. It is very violent but I never found it gory or disgusting. Despite having a lot of it, I never really thought the show offered its violence in a gratuitous manner. The Claymores, at least the more important characters among them, all have unique features that set them apart from one another. Even in a setting where all Claymores are blonde, athletic women with silver eyes.

I read in another review that the Claymores looked all the same and that is simply not true. Clare, Teresa, Irene, Galateea, etc all look unique. They treat the female body with more respect than other series I've watched.

Another great asset of the series is its soundtrack. In the first few episodes I actually found the music bizzare, but as I got sucked more into the story and setting, I realized most songs fit perfectly.

Also, one of the best intro and outro songs I've ever heard in a series. The voice acting is also top notch. While i've been thinking of Claymore ever since I finished watching it a few days ago, and as I'm rating it a 9 here, it still has some flaws, which I'll mention next. The most glaring that fans were upset about was the ending. A lot of reviews might tell you the ending is horrible and you should just read the manga and avoid the anime entirely.

For what its worth, I'd advise you to do the opposite. As a non-manga reader myself, I found the ending to be decent, if not great. That's mostly because it left a lot of unanswered questions and was not entirely definitive. But to me, it just felt like an ending to a chapter, if not the whole story.

Ironically, it was this ending that got me to read the actual Claymore manga. Some of the dialogue can also feel a bit basic, with characters stating the obvious when its not required. It can be over dramatic at times and too sentimental for its own good, but that particular aspect is very subjective. I might have rambled a bit here, but all in all, I highly recommend Claymore if you want to see a touching, if quite violent story, featuring some badass but still vulnerable ladies.

I started watching 'Claymore' just out of curiosity. I never expected to be so hooked onto a show in my life. It's fair to say that I am addicted. Normally that doesn't happen with me but this one is too good to pass up. From the very first episode all the way to the climatic battle in the final one there is great action scenes, lots of dismemberment and decapitation, and lots of blood. But what really made the show were the characters.

There are so many antagonists in the show it's almost impossible to count. But despite the countless antagonists, there are other great characters that make the show what it is. The only flaw in this show was the fact that shortly into the first season the episodes jump into the past, kind of like a flashback, but without exactly telling you what happened.

It's sort of like something you have to find out on your own just simply by watching and thinking. But despite these flaws and the fact that many episodes drag out especially the flashback ones it doesn't even slightly make it a worse television series. Well, I came across this show accidentally but by the end of the first episode itself, I was already hooked.

The storyline is one of the most interesting I have come across by far, the story is set in a medieval European era surrounding in which demons disguise as humans and prey upon them, claymore are female warriors created by a mysterious organization who are half human and half demon fight alongside the humans and protect them, their ultimate purpose being to seek revenge from demons for killing their own families and destroying them.

The organization controls and manipulates these claymore as pawns for its own selfish interests, merely using them as dispensable tools. The chief protagonist, a claymore named Claire seeks revenge for the loss of her loved one, Teressa another claymore who had saved her from demons, Claire had lost her family as a child who were eaten by demons and faced abuse and torture at their hands which made her emotionally shut down and loses her power of speech but after meeting Teressa, she finds a new ray of life until it is all taken away from her and hence she becomes a claymore to seek revenge for Teressa's death.

The Claymores have to face a constant battle within themselves as well between their human and demon side. There is a lot of action, emotions and drama involved which will keep you gripped. The series is short and crisp and doesn't beat around the bush with mindlessly stretching the storyline though I wish it could have lasted more.

It's one hell of an entertaining series and has everything required to get the viewers hooked. The series might seem dark sometimes but the ending is positive. Highly recommended and Worth a watch for anyone interested in serious anime shows.

For those who know nothing about anime it should better be on your list of firsts. Except in the last 2 episodes and some scene in third last episode and hardly in some scenes of other previous ones the anime story follows the main story.

It has everything you'd expect from a sword,dark fantasy tragedy anime and much more. Great characters and feels. What a great anime series. I've watched it at least 4 times since first viewing it 6 months ago. I guess I'm still expecting what would have happened if the show was continued for another season. I agree with most other reviewers as far as the character development in this story,and that this is definitely more mature material than many other anime series.

Norihiru Yagi and the other writers did an excellent job, in that the heroines in this story, while far superior to normal humans were not infallible, and the yoma monsters themselves were quite perceptive and sometimes full of surprises.

In fact I rate it right along with "Lord of the Rings" trilogy as far as action,adventure,fantasy genre goes. But I think it's hard for animation to get the same level of respect as regular motion pictures. Would love it if they ever made a feature length sequel to this series. Claymore is the very best fantasy anime i;ve ever saw , very original in ideas and story , so pls season 2, thxxxxx. An error has occured. Please try again.
