Claymore - Anime + OST

Claymore is an excellent slasher/slayer anime featuring Clair, the "Hanjin-hanyou" (half-human/yôma).

A pretty fresh series that has been aired since April 2007 in Japan. The series is very well done for 26 episodes without any fillers, except for the usual flashbacks to fill in the gaps. I love gore! Claymore fulfills it with the almost believable purple blood and yôma chunks. Forget Dante's "Million-Stab", Clair's adapted technique aptly named "Flash-Sword" could also be called "Billion-Stab".



If you have spare bandwidth lying around, be sure to checkout Eclipse for the HQ (High-Quality) DVD-rips where possible & alternately the HD (High-Definition) H264 (.MKV) TV-rips, which is now my preferred video format for PC-viewing, with XviD sinking to #2.

The Intro (OP) and Outro (ED) songs are awesome. J-Pop is way kewler than Bollywood (hate most of em) and normal pop. Get both the torrents from Nipponsei. They're the best group for Anime & J-Pop OST's.

The singles are:
Claymore OP Single - Raison d'Etre [Nightmare]
Claymore ED Single - Danzai no Hana ~Guilty Sky~ [Kosaka Riyu]
