Overall this is the greatest anime I've ever seen. It's depressing. It's not going to make you cry, but close. The story starts a bit faster than most shows do at the beginning, but without seeming like it's in a rush. Claymore follows the adventures of Clare, a Yoma killer. Yomas eat human guts. Clare is part of a super secretive organization with the purpose of exterminating Yoma. In order kill a Yoma, you have to be half Yoma. This method has some side effects. When you use too much Yoma power, it goes out of control and you turn into one. At this point you usually get one of your comrades to cut your head off. Great.
