Claymore - Q & A
This thread is for those of you with questions about the Claymore anime or manga. There are many questions that don't need a whole thread to discuss them. A simple practical answer straight from the anime or manga without any speculation can solve these connundrums. If someone has such a question about Claymore which can be solved by answering with facts from an official source, then please ask that question here.
Please don't post in this thread unless you are asking a question or answering one. Please remember that it only takes 1 person to answer a question. And don't speculate! You can only reply with cold, hard, merciliessly unforgivable facts. If you have to speculate, then please just tell the querrant that no answer is known, but here are some facts that might help him make up his own mind. Make sure you use spoiler tags if your question is about the anime, manga, or any non-anime source. Untagged spoilers are risking a ban. There are two ways to create clearly marked spoiler tags, as shown in the following: The easy way: By simply clicking on this icon which can be found in the Quick Reply or Reply to Thread template. This is how I create spoiler tags. orThe macho way: By using those uber vB codes as shown in the following...

Ah, there is a Claymore thread now, I'm glad. I'm new to the series and I've been checking out the anime. I like it. It has a Beserk feel to it with the medieval European settings, which are very well done. I do feel the animation is a little dated to be such a recent series though. Hopefully that will improve as the series goes on.
Now for the questions : - How far is the manga ahead the anime? - Why does it seem that all the Claymore are female? Are males incapable of becoming Claymores? - Is there anything special about the Claymore swords themselves or are they just normal weapons? - Do the "Men in Black" serve any purpose besides just collecting money and acting as messengers? - Teresa freaked out that gang of bandits that wanted to rape her by exposing her chest. Are all the bodies of the Claymore disfigured/scarred as the result of being half-Youma or was this something unique to Teresa? I suppose those are the major questions I'd like to know right now. I don't mind spoilers. |

Well, if you really want to talk about it, you can discuss about it in the Speculation & Theories thread.
This thread is meant more for specific questions, and not for discussion. Cheers.

Of course Clare had just had a Yoma punch through her stomach in episode 1, so I guess technically it's difficult to say for sure... |

How many episodes is the anime scheduled to run?
Anime Source says 26, but it doesn't give a proper source. So is this true? (Episode 8 is in manga scene 24. There are 70+ scenes to date, with the end of the story nowhere in sight. So, unless the anime comes to a very abrupt end, a total of 26 episodes just don't seem right.) |

There is no official answer to the number of episodes. However, if the show runs much over 26 episodes then the anime will have to make up its own ending, so 26 episodes is likely.
Please remember that Claymore manga chapters are only released once a month, not once a week like Bleach and Naruto. That means the filler would last 4 years if they don't stop around episode 26 or so.

There's one more indicator. 9 DVDs are listed, the first one with 2 eps, the next ones with 3 eps each. Makes 26 total.
The mangaka also indicated that he'd go for ~25 volumes manga total. Which would fit exactly with one more double season. |

That's not a question that can be answered with facts presented in the anime or manga. That means this is not the right place to discuss it. I suppose you can ask that in The biology of Claymores.
