Good, but know the whole story...,
By HD Fan (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Claymore: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The anime adaptation of the popular manga has been done well up to a point but first time viewers should know that the anime changes the storyline significantly by the time we get to the last few episodes, and not for the better in my humble opinion.Initially the anime follows the manga quite closely and it is a pleasure to be able to see favorite characters brought to life especially in glorious HD on this Blu-ray release. Sadly in the interests of providing some sort of conclusion to the series, the anime concocts a hastily thought out ending, whereas the manga is still being written, with the latest chapter to be released in April of 2010. With the ending of the anime bearing no resemblance to the present storyline. So for first time viewers it could make for a good entertaining package in itself, however for fans of the manga note that you may be perturbed by the changes to the story line. Still I bought it and recommend others to do so to enjoy our favorite claymores duke it out in all their HD glory and hopefully it leads some viewers to pursue the `true' story in the Claymore manga itself.

Definite Rewatch Value,
This review is from: Claymore: The Complete Series (DVD)
Claymore is a gripping and addictive action adventure series. I won't bore you with a synopsis, you can get better written one's elsewhere. What I will give you is my impressions. While it might be more convenient to watch it in dubbed English, you'll definitely pick up on more nuances in the dialogue if you watch it in subbed Japanese. Aside from the obvious storyline Claymore also seems to deal with a lot of deeper issues, especially themes having to do with self image, reputation and loyalty. Not to mention the epic fight scenes, the moving and heart felt storyline, and masterful pacing combined with stellar music that drives one to watch episode after episode. Definitely a series to watch again and again.

Complex without depth,

This review is from: Claymore: The Complete Series (DVD)
Claymore is an interesting Manga series with predictable characters in an unpredictable world.The Anime is its more colorful shallower cousin. THe series is dark and violent, for fans of Guyver, Fist of the North Star, and similar gore dark world series you will be right at home here. Don't let the female cast disturb you this shares about as much similar with Sailor Moon as Aliens shares with ET. The episodic plot is for the most part episodic at first but it builds into an over arching plot that behinds to hold the series together. Like many anime based on ongoing series the ending to the anime diverges completely from the manga and in a very unsatisfying manner, but the rest of the series holds together well. The music is downright excellent ranging from melodically beautiful to creepy and disturbing, it is perhaps the strongest element of the series. While not holding a Candle to Berserk it is an enjoyable, dark series, with enough depth to keep it interesting and some surprisingly good moments thrown in.
