“Claymore” has its issues, and the fact is that on occasion, it borders on the overdramatic. As a whole however, it definitely rises beyond any problems, resulting in a title that is as pleasurable to watch now as it was upon its initial release. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

J V @jarover Mar 4 Wooden acting. Repetitive. Unexciting battles and character interactions. Just plain boring. See more Ecarii T @Ecarii Dec 26 It's absolutely beautiful! The writing, the characters and the plot I just hope that someday they make a season 2 out of this anime:> See more M7AMD A @M7AMD 04/25/2025 i first watched it when i was 16 or 17 years old that would be 15 years ago and i just finished rewatching this masterpiece for maybe the fourth time, it's still one of the best anime ever made. The story of Teresa hit different :_( I guess the biggest flaw is Rocky he just another annoying brat who cries all the time, I tend to hate characters like him in any movie/show/game, and the ending wasn't too satisfying and seems too moral for this show. However they succeeded highly on character development and pacing and just keep you on your toes even when you rewatch the anime it will still make you feel intense. i wish they would continue the story and give us a proper ending to this masterpiece See more John F @RT94248122 08/06/2024 Please finish this masterpiece of an anime series See more Ben F @RT79996128 08/02/2024 They need to bring claymore back it's an awesome anime series See more John A @ExcessMale 06/25/2023 A short-lived series that engrosses more and more upon the first 10 or so episodes. 'Claymore' has a rich fantastical world that is interestingly blended with medieval aesthetics and deep character arcs. See more Read all reviews
