Portal:Anime and Manga/Selected lists/24
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of episodes of the Claymore anime series. The episodes are directed by Hiroyuki Tanaka and produced by Madhouse Studios.[1][2] They are based on the Claymore manga series by Norihiro Yagi, and adapt the first through eleventh volumes of its source material over twenty-four episodes. The remaining two episodes follow an original storyline not found in the manga written by Yagi. The series aired between April 2007 and September 2007 in Japan on Nippon Television.[3] The series follows the adventures of Clare, a Claymore, or half-human, half-yoma hybrid, and her comrades as they fight for survival in a world filled with yoma, or shapeshifting demons.
Two pieces of theme music are used for the episodes: one opening theme and one ending theme. The opening theme is "Raison d’être" (レゾンデートル? lit. Reason for being) by Nightmare. The ending theme is J-pop singer Riyu Kosaka's single, "Danzai no Hana~Guilty Sky" (断罪の花 ~Guilty Sky~? lit. Flower of Conviction~Guilty Sky). These two themes are used in all twenty-six episodes.[2] A single for "Danzai no Hana~Guilty Sky" was released on May 30, 2007, and the single for "Raison d’être" was released on June 6, 2007.[4][5]
