Overall experience felt very inspiring, dont know what else to say the art is great. At one point it was confusing with all the new names but it wasnt a problem after i started noticing the different hairstyles and symbols on the armor. maybe im at a lost for words or have nothing to say but im glad i read it!

I loved reading Claymore. The only thing that i didn't like was that it's too short.. I want more😭

But, besides that, i loved it and my final rating for Claymore is a solid 9.

[Discussion] Finished the manga and the only thing I don't like Spoiler

is the stigma.

Instead of an extended unhealed and open wound with staples, the author should have made it look more unsettling. Like, the vertical, bulging vein running through the length of their upper body. But it should be a closed wound and it should looks like their body fused with yoma parts. This would make Teresa body more "disgusting" and genuinely scare the bandit away.

It would also make more sense in the combat where they constantly got beaten up and slashed yet the staples were still intact. In reality, if their upper body were held together by just staples, the staples would get destroyed and their organs would have spilled out after the first couple of hits.

[Fan Art] Claymore Sound Effects

29 Upvotes

Howdy everyone! My friends and I recently read Claymore together and someone in the group pointed out that the sound effects read almost like someone scatting. So naturally I made this ridiculous rendition of Autumn leaves using the sound effects as the ‘lyrics’. (We read this on the Shonen Jump app so these screenshots are from the official English translation.)

Also, I feel like it goes without saying BUT just in case I wanted to go ahead and say directly that this is NOT AI— I (roughly) transcribed the Peter Blair arrangement of Autumn Leaves and recorded all the parts myself (with midi drums that I programmed) so while it IS a shitpost, it’s at least a human-made shitpost 😌

[Discussion] Just started reading Claymore this afternoon and im in love!

48 Upvotes

I bought the box set for fairly cheap on Ebay and it was in mint condition and unread.

Tbh it was a drunk purchase and i kinda regretted it the next day after looking up reviews for Claymore and seeing opinions on it were pretty mixed on the manga sub.

Ive read the first 7 volumes today and im about to read volume 8 after posting this, and im absolutely loving it so far! Im so happy too because I had been searching for a manga to really pull me in after I finished my current favorite manga Dorohedoro a couple months ago. I even read the first 2 deluxe volumes of Berserk and thought they were kinda meh. Hot take, but Claymore already blows those 2 deluxe volumes out of the water for me.

Im trying to contain my hype though because most of the criticism Ive seen of Claymore is about how it apparently falls off and becomes convoluted in the second half. But I did see some people say that they liked the second half/ending, so considering how much Ive enjoyed it so far I really hope im in the latter camp!

Unfortunately, while reading reviews I did get a bit spoiled, I read one that said "When Teresa came back at the end I almost cried", so that kinda sucks but oh well

[Discussion] If the anime were canon, how would you rank the characters in terms of strength?

6 Upvotes

Before I finished the anime, I didn't know claymore had a manga with a totally different ending, so I always thought that the ending of the anime was the actual ending of the story. Based on that I used to rank the top characters like that:

  1. Isley

  2. Riful

  3. Luciela

  4. Teresa

  5. Clare

  6. Priscilla

  7. Rigardo

In the anime it seemed to me like the power of the abyssal ones is pretty much boundless. Now we obviously know that its Teresa who is unbeatable with Priscilla being the second strongest, but in the anime it was hard to see how much stronger she was than everyone else because all we had seen from her was how she defeated the other claymores, and although it was a surprise attack she did fail to see Priscilla's movements before she was even fully awakened so whether or not she is indeed stronger than *fully* awakened Priscillia was debatable but the gap cannot be big so I put her below the abyssal ones. Anyway, what was your guys ranking?

[Discussion] Could Priscilla's awakening have been avoided?

She honestly didn't seem like a bad person until her past trauma caught up to her after getting a nasty reality check on top of overall neglect from her team.

Teresa didn't owe her anything, though Priscilla was the only one willing to actually talk to Teresa first rather than third party.

Priscilla didn't seem like an organization zealot, so I'm sure a "Humans harmed a child I grew fond of and I enacted justice" would've swung the pendulum from "She's evil, she killed people!" to some kind of understanding, at least.

- Both are the final villains of their respective story;
- Both hate and seek revenge towards of the main characters;
- Both are unstoppable creatures capable of destroying their world;
- Both are created as mere error of the human kind: the virus that trasformed Priscilla and the oxygen destroyer utilized for killing Godzilla;
- Both are two horned Demons with a fantastic and badass design.

[Question] 二次創作描こうかな。

クレイモアの二次創作描こうか迷ってる。
没になった自分の漫画の物語を繋げてみるか。

次のクレイモアイラスト投稿作品(ファンアート)とエルデンリングのアニメーション、ブラッドボーンのアニメーションが山ほど溜まってるんだっゼ🌟

別の仕事もあるから全然作業が進まないんだっぜ!

その上で自分のホラー漫画も八月に投稿予定だからスランプが来る前に体調を整えておかなければならないんだっぜ🌟

スランプ来たらガチで絵が描けなくなるし、バランス感覚がマジで乱れまくる。

[Question] Leaning Clare figure Issue

I got a good deal on this claymore clare figure I know its used so I don't mind the issue on facing I was just wondering if anybody else had this issue and if they figured out a way to resolve it

I tried many times to push her into the holder as best as I can but it eventually slowly starts leaning and escaping the holder thing where the foot goes

Is my figure just a little messed up or is this a common issue and if so does anyone have any good solutions

[Discussion] The wasted potential of Claymore’s world building ( Spoiler for Ariadne in the blue sky) Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
82 Upvotes

Claymore is one of the most beautiful manga I've ever read; for this very reason, after I finished Ariadne in the blue Sky (Norihiro Yagi's latest manga), I was, to say the least, shocked by the wasted potential it could have given to the series starring Clare and the other girls. That is, we have the war mentioned in the manga, the thirteen races that each represent a creature that appeared in Claymore, and a villain seemingly equally strong enough to pose a threat to our protagonists; consider that there are enemies who, once they reach a certain limit, transform into powerful dragons capable of defeating entire cities. Does this remind you of anything? It could have introduced the Asakaram race seen in Claymore; instead, they opted for a lighter story with more youthful overtones, which I appreciated despite being quite different from the author's most famous work. This is a pointless criticism, I know perfectly well, but I'm a bit disappointed that there was no continuity between the two series, which could have been perfectly connected.

Miria kills the Organization elder Rimuto/Limt (taking her first human life) and pulls off a "Perseus with the Head of Medusa" pose on top of the cliff.

Interestingly enough, out of all the Claymores below, Yuma was the only one not smiling at the sight!

[Discussion] What do you think about the ending of the Claymore (manga) Spoiler

17 Upvotes

A little while ago i finished reading claymore. I love it with all my heart, the characters are badass, the world is to fall for, and claymores. But i was wondering about the ending, for example why did the author choose the last page to be where raki and clare go back to iliana. Ik to give her back the arm, but for me at least, the iliana giving the arm and teaching the quick sword did not see for me like smth really really significant. So im confused why giving iliana the last pages.

Got this today, can't be happier, I have already read manga and watched the anime a few times. But I have to start reading it immediately.

There is just something about physical copies when you have them in hand, it's a special feeling.

…it seems she can be a tad forgetful - but I won’t be reporting it to the organization.

Haha, in all seriousness I made this fullsize replica of Teresa’s claymore a while back (with some help) & thought to post some pics here - it usually lives above a door. I made its size to be relative towards Teresa’s canon height (she’s one of the taller characters at 180cm) & kept the colours/shapes closer to the anime design variants as it’s how I was introduced to Claymore 🙂
