In this world, humans coexist with creatures called Yoma. The Yoma are sentient, shape-changing monsters that disguise themselves as and then feed on humans. By consuming a human brain, the Yoma can absorb the victim's memories, allowing them to infiltrate human circles without arousing the suspicions of their victim's close friends or family. In order to protect humans from the Yoma, a secret organization has created an order of superhuman warriors known as Claymores. Thusly named for the immense claymores they wield. Villages being attacked by Yoma hire Claymores to kill the Yoma for a large fee.

from the moment i watched the first episode,claymore completely stole my heart. Some might say it's a manga but believe me this isn't your average childish manga.

Some might say it's a manga but believe me this isn't your average childish manga. Claymore is in a class of it's own.with a superb voice acting,an amazing story that unfolds superbly and some nice music to match (i love the starting music),with breath taking action. Claymore is one hell of a fantasy-supernatural-action based animie, definitely a 10/10… Expand

Best manga series hands down. One of the best anime series hands down. This is an amazing story told in a dark and compelling universe, that somehow manages to be touching at the same time.

This is an amazing story told in a dark and compelling universe, that somehow manages to be touching at the same time. Spectacular characters, exciting action scenes, horrific monsters, intriguing plot points, what doesn't this series have?

Oh, that's right. A widespread fan base. For some reason this gem of an anime is entirely overlooked. And that is truly disheartening, because it is such an incredible series.… Expand

Claymore is in my opinion the most amazing and visually stunning anime ever! The strory line is amazingly deep and the action is nail bitingly exciting! it's great and gory and very bloody sometimes but it's made for adults. Over all, it's the best anime ever

This show involved a lot of sheer perfection. Until the last couple of episodes I had no doubt in my mind that it would finish off as strong and clean as it had run with perfect story-telling and a strong swipe at my heart.

Until the last couple of episodes I had no doubt in my mind that it would finish off as strong and clean as it had run with perfect story-telling and a strong swipe at my heart. However, the series merits a 9/10 only because the ending appeared to be a scrambled attempt by the makers to end the series on the spot, because it was confusing to no end and had only enough closure to keep me from bursting out in rage. Poor finish, a perfect 10/10 would've been in order otherwise.… Expand

This is one of the better anime series. It has a great sense of pacing and suspense, I mean there are some cliff hangers that literally leave you enraged because you don't have time to watch another one, but you do anyway. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy/horror animes.

The art and voice acting are pretty awful, but the story makes up for both. It has interesting twists, a fair amount of lore and the character development is... interesting.
