However, the show’s departure from the manga’s original plot may displease some viewers. Despite this, the series maintains a devoted following because of its distinctive blending of genres and enjoyable content.

5. Claymore

There aren’t very many anime with female leads, let alone full female cast members. Claymore, on the other hand, defies this cliché by featuring Clare, a remarkable female heroine. Her path is both powerful and inspirational because she begins at the bottom and is viewed as a failure, but she progressively gains strength as she overcomes obstacles in life.

Claymore is an interesting anime about a woman who wants to get revenge. The story takes place in a world where dangerous creatures called Yoma can easily hide among people by taking on human forms and eating them.

The MC of this show is a young girl with a tomboy attitude. In her attempt to find the killer, she ends up finding an old invention of her father. The invention we are talking about is a uniform that can talk and think.
