Funimation had gotten the rights for the US release of the Claymore anime series. So far their official site just has a trailer posted (it the first splash scene from episode 1). So far there is no official word on when the DVDs will hit store, but we should hopefully see them by the end of the year. I’m just wondering when we will get a season two in Japan.
Funimation f@ggotry again. And season 2 is not likely, from what I heard the manga is moving too slowly and not enough material for a second season.
I don’t know way Viz didn’t pick it up. They have the manga you would have thought they would get the anime and cross promote like hell.
Claymore, Starter Set (includes Vol. 1) Will be released on October 14, 2008
