WARNING!!! If you haven't watched the first season "The Tower of DRUAGA -The Aegis of URUK-" This anime will make no sense!

That being said, this isn't a summary it's a review. Just a heads up :].

The storyline follows flawlessly from the first season of the anime, keeping the old characters alive and diving even further into their pasts. The anime keeps true to it's previous storyline and wont disappoint if you enjoyed the last season.

Again, I made the mistake of watching this season first and had no idea what was going on for 2-3 episodes since they do not reintroduce old characters.

If you enjoyed the first season..then what are you waiting for?!?! I'm sure you're dying to know what happened after that cliff hanger in "The Aegis of URUK"!

I'm not going to explain the story line, it's a review not a summary. Just a heads up :].

The Tower of Druaga - The Aegis of URUK- has a very interesting plot, which is unusual since it is an anime based on a video game. The anime itself is very short, only 12 episodes. However, the character development is great, you get a peak into all the main protagonists stories in the short time you're with them. The action is prevalent, many fight scenes with decent battles. I wouldn't go so far as to say the fight scenes are the reason to watch it, but the action is fair regardless. The music isn't memorable, but it doesn't bother the viewer .

Given the background, the anime seems like you're watching a video game because each character is based off of a cliche game character (clerics, protectors, fighters, bowmen). Gonzo did a fantastic job portraying this game into an anime that way, it makes use of every character giving them all a purpose.

Also, if you enjoy the Aegis of URUK then The Sword of URUK (the follow-up season to the anime) continues the story with the same love-able characters!

I would recommend this anime to anyone who enjoys emotional character bonds and anti-climactic endings with moderate fight scenes. I guarantee plenty of relieved smiles, frantic gasps, and tears of joy throughout the stories progression.

Kurokami (The Animation) is a good anime. The fight scenes make you feel like you're the one getting beaten with a bat, or flying into a car door. The music is also great, especially during the fight scenes. The animation itself sort of gives off a "Ghost in the Shell" look, which I consider fantastic.

The story line between manga/anime seems to be the key issue here.. If you're a loyal follower of the manga and get upset when the storyline isn't followed on par...Then well i'm sorry you will turn red with anger and want to explode. I suggest following either the manga or the anime and not mix between the two because character perception and bits of the story line change.

Personally, I think the way that the anime is set up; the main protagonist is perceived correctly (being a closed off hateful jerk who is turned into a strong willed caring hero). The dubbed episodes have good voice actors and are being released every Wednesday here on Crunchy Roll.

If you're looking for for a firm story line, good animation, and intense fights this anime will not disappoint.

Claymore is one of those anime that captures your attention the minute it begins. If you're into amazing in-depth story lines with many twists and turns, beautiful anime women with giant swords who brutally duke it out and non-stop action each episode than this anime is certainly for you. In any case, the show itself is very violent; hacking off limbs and blood spewing every which way will send off a red light for anyone with young children present.

The only real problem anyone seems to have with the anime is one or two particular flash backs which appear 1-3 times an episode. (It gets incredibly annoying at times if you're watching episodes back to back). That being said, it's an anime unlike any other. Very original and very watchable. If you have been searching for a good anime, look no further.

Any fan of great action and deep story lines MUST give this one a try.
