Claymore English Sub & Dub

About Claymore

Claymore blends action, adventure and fantasy by MADHOUSE (2007). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: A brutal scourge stalks the land. Yoma, monsters driven by a hunger satisfied by only one quarry - Humanity.

Along the way, the dark breed knows but a singular foe: Claymore. Human-Yoma hybrids of extraordinary strength and cunning, the Claymores roam from skirmish to skirmish delivering salvation by the edge of a blade. Thus starts the twisting tale of Clare, one such sister of the sword driven by pain in both victory and defeat.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Clare (Houko Kuwashima) and Raki (Motoki Takagi) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
