Claymore Blu-ray

Claymore Blu-ray DVD box set review. [no spoilers]

 I'm not much for blood and guts even if its purple... usually. Anime like Fist of the North Star, Akira and Elfen Lied I will make exception for. While you're at it... add the anime Claymore on blu-ray to that list... BTW - Unless I get really bored, you'll probably never read a review about an anime that I just didn't like. So clicky, clicky on the right you should find a clicky to add me to your blog-roll.

cool-dark colors ad to the vibe

 The colors the animators were given to work with are in the cooler tones and compliment the dark nature of the story well. The Claymores look kind-of like something Hitler would have a nocturnal-emission over... and all the monsters bleed in excess - you guessed it, purple blood. While the gore is not out of place typically found in the comical-blood-splatter horror genre, I wouldn't necessarily place Claymore in that category. As disturbing (comical - depending on if you are as sick as me or not...) as gushing as the blood of Elfen Lied or Fist of the North Star was, this is on the tame side compared to that... and mostly... purple, fuchsia, hydrangea... whatever.

Hitler-health material

  Purple blood not your thing? Don't worry, there is excellent character development, suspense up the wazoo... and cliff-hangers to keep you up way past your bed-time. Definitely a series to watch with a few Mana potions on hand and 2 days to recover. Don't believe me? I tell you now... You will stay up all night... You will miss work the next day. 

  The cost of this blu-ray may be cheaper than crack at $55 for the Claymore blu-ray box set, but the effects will be the same for the duration of all 26 episodes... This one is a keeper. 13 hours of anime dvd goodness. :)

Series synopsis:

 A brutal scourge stalks the land. Yoma, monsters driven by a hunger satisfied by only one quarry: Humanity. 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 begins the twisting tale of Clare, one such sister of the sword driven by pain in both victory and defeat. A child silent and suffering hidden in her past, Clare's march toward vengeance unfolds along a path marked by violence, solitude and scorn. In a land where even the predator is prey, the haunted hearts of hunter and hunted alike wear the scars of the age.

BTW- Thank you Funimation for bringing this to me... I love you.
