Timeless Dreams Anime Blog

What a nice charming cute anime! It’s about a young girl, Karin, who has been orphaned and whose only friend and pet died. After that some people start to adress her as ’kami’, which means god. It’s due to her ring, which belongs to her mother, but what it is further all about, we shall see.

But this anime! Even when it’s a kids anime, it’s adorably cute. It has lovely colors, lovely characters and Karin is just adorable. You can already see it in the themesong, it’s one of the most original OP’s I’ve ever heard. The melody is really interesting, and it’s really refreshing when you start to watch the anime. It’s probably not one of the best mahou shoujos and they have to look up the Roman Gods that are used (personally I don’t want to adress my power to a god who is crippled and pitied by all gods. For the ones who haven’t studied the ancient culture, I’m talking about the god Hephaestus.) Anyway, that’s just a side note. I’m interested in what is going to happen and Karin is really a good girl. I’m curious.

Oh this was painful. I know I was looking forward to this anime but the strange reason is that after I’ve seen this episode, I can’t remember what was so good about this anime. It’s a science-fiction anime, and high-tech. I have always some problems in watching these things. But the biggest problem I have with this anime we have a bunch of teenagers, who (once again) must save the universe. What, again!? It’s really the worst-case-scenario, that the universe (and not even the world!) must be saved by our heroes.

I’m suprised that I didn’t notice that it was going to be like this, because the title it self, it already says it that it’s about a couple of heroes. The princess was the prototype of a warrior princess who wants to fight herself, and she has a number of prototypes of protectors surrounding her. The real hero of the golden tribe, he can be interesting but he is just too ridiculous strong to be believable. This are just some flaws of this story. The story self is really interesting, the music was very good, but I was too annoyed by these flaws to enjoy this anime. Dropped. Please feel free to tell me when it’s turned out to be good. Thanks.

What the bloody hell was that all about? I was pleased and annoyed at the same time and I really have no idea what to think about this anime. First of all I would like to say you all that the art is nice. The art is really nice, it’s been drawn well, and it’s a nice atmosphere. The character of Touka can be interesting, but I put a doubt on it because he is an teenager, dresses like a girl (or so it would seem), and he is deeply in love with a girl who is made up by his mother. Or something like that. Speaking of his mother… What an annoying little bitch. She is a mother, but she reacts as a brat of five years old! Unbelievable.

And the flaws. Oh, so many flaws. Let’s just say that this anime is not understandable, and I even watched it with subs and I didn’t understand a thing out of it. But Touka has a mother, and she is a writer. She has made up a character, Momoka, and Touka and Momoka had met in the past?! And then Touka dissapears to another world to meet her again?! Or something like that? Anyway, we can also conclude that his mother has an evil twin sister or something like that but I can’t be sure about that one too. And we have that red-eye man, and I have no idea who this is. 

Well. Due all this and that I have really no idea what this is all about, I would be really crazy if I continued watching this crap. This means that I’m going to drop it. When it turns out to be good, please feel free to tell me.:)

I was really pleased when I saw this. First of all I love the OP, and I can say that I’m a fan of the ED too. Claymore has a remarkable artstyle, and during the episode it really gave me the time to get used to it. This episode wasn’t without flaws though. Raki is a character that still needs a lot of work and thinking behind him. At some points, he did work. At other points, he didn’t. The other thing that I didn’t really like about this anime was the bloodyness! Omg! That was really… not so great for me to see. I can’t really stand blood. Not in real life, not even in anime. It is a bit disgusting. And add the sounds.. Yikes.

Anyway. Despite the flaws and the bloodyness I don’t have any other reasons to not watch this anime. I loved it! The story goes like this. We have a world, in which Yoma’s (demons) eat humans. They take human forms so no one can see the difference between the two of them. But there are some who can. They are called ‘Claymore’, half yoma’s and half humans. They have silver eyes and are all womans. When fighting yoma’s, their eyes turn into gold.
We have a village with a yoma and a Claymore, Claire, comes. One of the boys, Raki, takes particular interest in this claymore, because the first who fell victim to the yoma were his parents and he wasn’t able to do a thing of it. So he is really glad that there are people who can defeat a yoma. But because Claymore are half yoma’s theirselves, they are feared. Everyone is scared of them and they can’t be trusted. But Raki isn’t.

When he is thrown out of the village, Claire saves him. I wonder about that one. I believe it’s because Raki might be the only one she knows that isn’t afraid of her but I doubt that this is the only reason. But she lets him come with her to be her cook. I’m looking forward to discover more about this character and I told myself to not go to sites with information because I want to see for myself. It’s too much a shame to let it be spoiled. Claire is really an interesting character. She is silent as the grave, and has an unsociable character. And I just happen to love unsociable charactes although I don’t know why. I’m looking forward to the next episodes.^^.

This can become very interesting. I loved the OP and ED. That for once. Anyway, the story that we have here is something with a weird plot twist: We have a princess, whose family is murdered by rebellions. She is the prototype of a princess, really soft etc and really corny. But anyway, we are used to that, aren’t we? Anyway. She is the only one of her family who escaped death. But she runs into a forest and gets chased by a weird monster. 

And then the anime takes a strange turn. Because meanwhile we have a girl who is a bounty hunter. To put it bluntly: She kills and is rewarded for what she kills, as long as it is dangerous. Anyway. Our princess clings to this girl, and they fall of a cliff. Because they are both facing death, their souls change! And that is fun! They are caught and unharmed, but the princess is in the body of the bounty hunter and the bounty hunter is the princess! The princess says that she is willing to sell her own body to the bounty hunter as long as she saves the kingdom. And she does.

What we have here is a princess with a long sword, who likes fighting and blood, and a maid, who is in fact, the real princess. This can be a lot of fun. It was a little too bloody for my own good, but luckily it is an OVA. It doesn’t air so much so I think I can handle the bloodyness.^^ I’m rather positive about this one.
