My former classmate once asked me what anim would I recommend for him to check out. I've had a few in mind but I guess he might have seen them before since they're quite one of the mainstream roster out. So I thought again and one came into mind immediately. Claymore.
Claymore is the story of a young woman who is a part of an elite organization that is tasked to battle out Yoma (sentient beings who feed on human organs) in a world full of darkness and secrets. Claymores are human beings experimentally infused with the flesh of a Yoma to be able to gain the strength and power of the former. They are called such for they weeld gargantuan weapons called "Claymores". After being subjected to the process, a claymore then starts to possess silver eyes which also gave them the nickname "silver-eyed witches". Ironically, they were created to battle Yomas but humans detest them for being who they are and being afraid of the fact that they might be no different than the monsters they fight.
Clare, the main protagonist of the story, is the lowest ranked soldier of that organization and was often looked over by the others who stood higher than hers. Like any other anime, you get to see her become one of those stronger casts but what's different about this one is her motivations. She basks on the thought of avenging those important to her that were unforgivably wronged and taken away instead of the typical aspirations of being together again for the sake of love and brotherhood. Anyways, you're gonna have to watch the series to get the better and juicier parts out of it. This one is smart, fast-paced, visually grandiose, effective and very graphic. Check the fan-made trailer below to get a glimpse.
