Editorial Reviews

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 continues the twisting tale of Clare, one such sister of the sword driven by pain in both victory and defeat. Three beings of myth have risen from exile to open a new front in the war between monsters and men. Clare’s march to battle is brisk, for on the killing fields awaits the one she has lived to destroy. Vengeance is coming to the snowy wastelands of the North.

This review is from: Claymore: Volume Four- The Rumors of War (DVD)

So far I have the first three volumes of the series. Claymore's storyline has gotten better and better with each one. After finishing the third volume a month ago, I thought it had reached the apex of its incredible plot and action. I expected pretty much the same level for volume four. I was wrong.

Vol. 4 Rumors of War blew Vol. 3 out of the water!

Without getting into too many details to prevent spoilers to followers of this series, the storyline that was getting hot is now getting to be a raging furor. More revelations come to light that leave you wondering how Clare is ever going to make it through this, as it seems impossible she will. Old familiar faces make a return that I was more than happy to see again. New faces are introduced that are extremely likable as well. Miria and Clare are favorites, but now Jean is up there too. I'm sure you all will like her too!

The voice acting continues to be nothing short of superb, especially with the increase of action that is in this volume. The stunning artwork continues to show in great detail as you watch it. I know some may be angry about it and call it blasphemy, but Claymore has surpassed Full Metal Alchemist in legendary status. The level of character development, plotline, action, emotion... it's all there!

If I haven't said it before, I will say it now: Claymore is a MUST see. You won't regret it.

P.S. To the voice actors, directors, and producers of Claymore both Japanese and American.. Keep up the AWESOME work!

This review is from: Claymore: Volume Four- The Rumors of War (DVD)

I enjoyed the development of the characters in this fourth volume of the set of six. The fight scenes were captivating as well. Also, the story line was continued in a functional and comprehensible manner. I was not initially sold on the series; however, as I purchased each additional volume, my attention was grabbed. It was all about the characters, battles internal and external, and the plot development of good versus evil. These formed a winning combination to draw me into Volume 4 specifically and ultimately the other five in the series.
