Claymore

Both Claymore and Berserk are set in the same time period, both have huge amounts of large bloody sword fights, and both share the same genre of anime - Horror/Action. These anime may have a different plot, but they share similar aspects and present the story in a very similar way. To put it simply, if you like Claymore for its blood and random violence you will possibly like Berserk.

Finally there is an anime that manages to capture a great deal of the aura of Berserk. Watching Berserk always involved conflicting emotions. It was bloody grim atmosphere crossed with a bizarre sense of hope. Claymore has much of that same gore plus glimmer with the added benefit of being produced with modern animation techniques. Claymore places that same detailed darkness in cleaner more developed arena.

If you liked Claymore I think you would like Berserk because it's also about warriors who fight with medieval weapons. Also, if you liked to follow the development and progress of Clare's fighting skill, and like half-human and half-demon strength you really would like to follow Gatts in his quest.

Claymore is something like the feminine version of Berserk. In some parts they are really similar, as Clare from Claymore is like Guts in Berserk; both become outcasts and struggle for survival against many foes and demons. As hopeless as their situation is, they never give up hope and somehow they get out alive.

So if you like one of them, you will surely like the other, too.

Both Claymore and Berserk take place in a similar world. Clare and Guts are both on a journey to become stronger. They are both great and fast-paced action series that I think anyone could enjoy.

Both animes have a medieval setting which gives them a similar feeling. Also, in both anime, you get lots of action. However, this doesn't mean that the storylines are bad; both storylines are really good and are very interesting. If you liked one, I think you'll like the other.

I checked out Claymore due to seeing how often it was recommended for Berserk, and now I can see what people are talking about.

Berserk is remarkably similar to Claymore, but not necessarily related to plot. Sure, both have a protagonist with a big sword and there's plenty of body parts and blood, but that would be a shallow recommendation. Beyond these similarities, both just feel the same, from the style to the pacing to the flat-out coolness. I am absolutely positive if you liked one, you'd like the other.

Claymore is a very dark anime and so is Berserk. Both anime focus very much on the story and action, with a lot of twists and unexpected events.

Both Berserk and Claymore are about violent fights in a medieval era. Heroes wield huge swords, and the story-telling is done in a dark and sensitive fashion, focusing more on character development than pure gore.

Fight with yourself. Fight to protect the one who you love. Fight for revenge. Fight to remain the human amongst the beasts. Fight until the end.

Both Claymore and Berserk are about the same...

Not for the faint-hearted, both Berserk and Claymore provide a cocktail of violence, gore, swordplay, phenomenal personal attributes, beautifully choreographed action sequences, the supernatural and man's inner demons.

Do you like long fights, where you can feel the adrenaline rush to your head? Then go head on with big swords in Berserk and Claymore.

Claymore is newer, has better graphics, hotter and meaner babes, more "blood scenes" and (according to me) a better story; but Berserk is just as bloody, raw, and has scenes that make you want to cry. I can't imagine any better recommendation if you like that kind of style in anime; both Claymore and Berserk are my favorite anime in the fantasy genre.

So what more is there to say? Both are bloody, fantasy-based, medieval, have big swords, and awesome animation! If you liked one you'd absolutely like the other!

Swords, blood, and action are the three best words to describe Berserk and Claymore. Both shows are about the quest for vengeance - Guts for his ruined life and Clare for the death of her mentor. I am sure if you liked one you will like the other.

Berserk and Claymore are obvious recommendations for each other. Both have a protagonist who swings a huge sword, while heading into truly fearsome threats.

Blood-filled fights, special character-developing flashbacks, and a great story are just some of the things that are reminiscent in both. Though I'd say the manga of Berserk is a much much better recommendation for Claymore, Berserk's anime is by far sufficient for this recommendation.

Both Claymore and Berserk take place in medieval times and have oodles of gore and carnage. Demons are present in each and if you like action and heroic characters, watch the two of 'em!

Many have recommended these two anime for a good reason. Both tell the story of a warrior who swings a huge sword, whose purpose in life is to fight. Both anime contain a huge amount of violence and fighting scenes as well.

Claymore and Berserk are very similar. Both protagonists are extremely powerful, the characters are similar (Clare in Claymore is pretty much Guts from Berserk, but with demon powers), and both anime are very bloody.

Both series are placed in fantasy world with demons, magic and sword. Both series are telling story of a single warrior. If you liked Claymore anime, and you're angry because it's too short, you should watch Berserk.

On the surface, both series seem very similar. They are both filled with lots of bloody violence (involving huge swords, no less) and they have a sort-of medival feel to them and both have very important flashback arcs (although Berserk is mostly a very long flashback in and of itself). That's were the similarities end, but if you liked one, you'll definitely like the other.

Both these animes seem to have very similiar worlds, in both the human civilization is not doing so well and there is lots of unrest. The main characters do not share much in common, except their icy personalities, but their job does, which is absolutely anhilate their advesary. Its been a long time since I saw berserk but after watching Claymore it was the first anime in my mind again. Both animes have gruesome worlds which is packed with violence, so if you like Claymore you should definetly check out Berserk too, they are very similiar animes in my mind.

Well, in my opinion Claymore is a remake of Berserk to some extent. It has a lot of things that were in Berserk and similarity is visable throughout the whole show. Well you will surely love Berserker after watching Claymore but I'm not sure if you would like Claymore after watching Berserker. Hmm thats questionable, nevertheless both series are really good and worth watching.

Swords, demons, and superb characterisation: if you liked those elements in one, then you will find them done just as well in the other. They both have that medieval setting going for them and a gory style to action but don't lose sight of the individuals involved. Definitely try one if you liked the other.

Although Claymore and Berserk focus on slightly different character development, there is a very similar feel to the changes within the main subjects; namely Clare in Claymore and Guts in Berserk.

Assuming the violence, gore and overall action is an attractive bonus, Berserk serves up the same dish.

Swords, fights, lots of blood, limbs and a somewhat intriguing story line as far as character development is concerned would be the main similarities.

I'm quite sure you'll like one if you like the other.

Dark medieval fantasy, fast paced combat, ridiculously large swords, and main characters that could take out entire armies by themselves. Throw in some demons and a vengeance complex for good measure, If that is what you are looking for then Berserk and Claymore will both fit the bill.

If you didn't get enough of the dark setting of Claymore and want to set on another journey to a world of violence, swordsmen and rage, Berserk is the obvious choise for you! While there are certainly significant differences in the series, making it possible that you'll much prefer one over the other, the feeling of the two are definitely similar, and hence giving Berserk a shot is more than worthwhile.

Its taken a few years, but it seems that the anime world has finally produced a successor for the violent action series Berserk. Claymore is as thrilling, gore filled and an emotional rollercoaster as Berserk.

Set in similar time periods, the sword fighting is more or less non stop with each show, only pausing to catch its breath whilst developing the characters into some of the richest I have seen in an animation. You both empathise and despise Claire and Gutts, seeing them struggle through life and making decisions that may not always be right.

I know that if you love one, you will certainly enjoy the other.

Claymore and Berserk are both brutal Series about fighting with Swords. If you liked one of them you should also watch the other because both are entertaining in a similarly way. :)

Berserk & Claymore's story might not have a lot in common but that doesn't really matter. Both anime has deep character development nicely put into a rough and unforgiven world. Both anime could be placed in the action/horror genre so if you liked one of them, there's a good chance that you'd like the other one as well.

Gore, Demons, Swords these three words instantly bring about the two names Berserk and Claymore, they're very similar in thier ways of bloodshed and overcoming such, even though Gutts is more of a overpowered maniac then Clare this doesnt stop Clare holding a close matched sword.

The Animation is profoundly different, in the aspects of dates, Berserk is still a very satisfying choice of imagery as its purports the medievil image view, thus makes the viewer easily adapted to the viewing. While Claymore had the more modern tinge, though somewhat the same.

Both excellent stories and can take the viewer into a 26 episode sitting spree :).

Both series are dark tales woven with threads of blood and violence. If you enjoyed either midieval gore-fest it's probable you'll enjoy the other.

Berserk and Claymore both follow a development of an extremly powerful main protagonist, who has its share of bloody battles. Even though their story differs, Gatsu and Claire have something in common. You gradually become attached to them as they strugle through hardship and deceit.

If you like one, don't miss the other.

Similar mood, setting and story with the exception that the protagonists are women in Claymore

Both anime are set in medieval times and all the characters kick so much ass it's insane! Wondering around fighting for what they believe is right and finding lots of opponents on their way. Both will leave you wanting more and more at the end. If you liked one check out the other.

Both anime's have a lot in common... first of all, the demonic aspect occurs in both, they are both set in an feudal type environment... and best of all, the protagonist in both series, carries around a Huge Friggin Sword. Lots of battles, and overall great progression of story in both. If you enjoyed either Claymore or Berserk... than watching the other is a MUST!!!

Claymore and Berserk share common ground in that they are both medieval fantasy settings featuring demons and lots of sword-fighting.  The main characters of both are mercenaries (Berserk in a more traditional sense than Claymore).  

The stories, characters and worlds are very, very different, but the action and much of the setting concept are similar.  If you liked one, there's a good chance the other would interest you as well.

If you did like Claymore, you will also love to watch this one. A twisted story of a man who feels alive only on battlefield. His name is Guts.

With tragic past he moves from battlefield to battlefield to do only thing he knows. Swing his big sword against any opponent. One day he comes to across with Band of the Hawks, who try rob him. He lost this fight but the group leader of Hawks was impressed by his talents and decided to save his life and make him to join the band of the hawks.

Now can Guts find a new meaning for his life inside the band or is he just a tool for somebody to use?

  When you watched Berserk you'll like to watch Claymore and that goes simply bothways. Both anime series are in a gloomy, grey world, medival period. You can watch many very bloody scenes and there very violence worlds there the strong will only survive.

  The main characters Guts and Clare are fighters with a desire to revenge. They fight with huge swords and are throught the story, devoloping more skills with it. The characters are strong but they are simply working for someone; Guts is in the Band of the Hawk and Clare is in a "No name" organization that is organizing the Claymore's.

  You can find very many action but not only in the both series, everyone will enjoy watching both.

Violence, demons, a medieval fantasy setting, great character development - Berserk and Claymore are as close as two series can get. They're also equally good.

Both have excellent characters, plot, and development...  both shows make you attached to ALL the characters because they are truly tangible, the main characters are not perfect, in fact, they have HUGE flaws... and both shows are down right addicting...  with characters that you have grown to love being able to be discarded at any moment.

and the ending of both... will leave you... really wanting to read the manga!

Plenty of bloodshed and fighting scenes.  Though both shows go in depth with plot and backstory, there a vast amounts of action with contemporary dialog. A must for any anime fans' must see list.

An epic adventure where the struggles of a solemn and powerful warrior is the number one narrational priority; this is the main aspect that make Claymore and Berserk go hand in hand. They also give off a feministic touch with plenty of kick-ass women establishing themselves in a world packed with men who patronize them. But the similarities do not stop here; while both shows are very good they also feature awful endings. Despite their numerous virtues they come off as commercials for the Manga, and in that sense their similarities may not be as positive. Yet, if you liked either, I find it likely that you'll like the other as well.

These series each focus around epic battles with a large amount of gore and an overarching plot that takes a long time to reveal. If you like battles and gore, these series are a great match.

Both have a good dramatic story, serious attitude (instead of all the cute funny stuff most anime has these days) and a connection of loss/tragedy. I wish there was more out there like Berserk and claymore but I have yet to find any. There are some good but to a lesser extent. Berserk is by far the best thing I have seen, and claymore is up there (not as good as Berserk, but still real good). 

These are both medieval/horror hybrids with decent animation.  Both are unfinished from their manga counterparts and end with a big climax.

If you loved Claymore then you will also love Berserk (and the other way around). Both series have a badass main character with a big sword,and are set in a medival age.The main difference is that Claymore has more fantasy and magic elements then Berserk.Both series are  masterpieces in my opinion,and one of my all time favourite anime.

Both are set in a fantasy medieval era and deal with the main character fighting, a lot. Both deal with monsters and demons but Berserk has more politics and intrigue while Claymore is more intense action. If you like a lot of blood and guts (hehe, Guts) with your killing alongside a great cast of characters you will like both Berserk and Claymore.

Both series have main characters whose lives are forever joined to the sword--that is, their main purpose in life, or what they have set out to make it as, involves dueling others with swords. Guts is a mercenary who fights when he has to and is recruited by the Band of Hawk to join them in their conquests across Midland. Clare is a half-demon, half-human specifically created to carry out extermination missions of yoma, demon beasts that hide among the unsuspecting public and feast on humans. Both Guts and Clare are solitary by nature, but their good deeds--usually out of nothing but pure "business"--attracts curious others to them, and unlikely companionships and camaraderie begins to bear fruit. If one like sword-wielding protagonists, duels, blood, violence, and demons all set in a medieval environment, then one may surely like either or.

FSN and Claymore are rather different in storyline, settings, and characterization, but they both have some great action with women with big swords. Beyond that I'd just have to say this is the way I feel: if you liked one, you'd like the other.

Fate/stay night and Claymore have a different atmosphere, but the characters are kind of similar. In each anime, a powerful female protagonist is stuck with a weak guy. Clare (Claymore) and Saber (Fate/stay night) are very much alike; they both swing two-handed swords, are determined in battle to do what needs to be done, and don't show much emotion. The guys, Raki (Claymore) and Shiro (Fate/stay night), are similar as well; they want to protect the women even though they can't, they try to get to know the women better, and try to prove to themselves and others that the women aren't as heartless as they act. Both anime contain a nice mix of action and drama, as well.

Both FSN and Claymore have a male and female duo as the main characters. Shirou and Raki have the same backbones - they want to help their women out in fights, even if they are weaker than them. If you liked Fate/stay night, you'd also like Claymore (or vice versa).

In those anime, main characters are women warrior. It's not all, in both anime is magic, sword and other fantasy things. The only one defect is this, that FSN is not settled in fantasy world known from books and games.

Clamore and Fate/stay both have the lead characters setup as a strong girl with a massive sword and a weak guy which wants to become stronger to protect her.claymore i would say is more gritty with more gore and a higher kill count, and fate/stay has a beautiful newer animation style.Although quite different in plot if you loved one you i think will love the other.

Claymore and Fight Stay Night both involve a great deal of action and magnificent fighting scenes. The female characters, Saber in Fate Stay Night and Claire in Claymore have similar personalities in their actions towards fighting. They also express the same thoughts concerning their male companions.

Both series are based heavily on amazing action scenes with a deep story behind them. Over the course of each series the characters are made to question their reasons for fighting and forced to find a new direction in life.

Both series ar all about the world they live on. Claymore is relevant to fate stay night because the guardians etc are very similar. At claymore they travel from town to town to kill creatures and in Fate stay night they travel from town to town to kill other servants

these animes are very simular in the fact that they all have a normal human boy being engaged unexspectantly with anouther world. They all have action, and some romance. The main charicter(guy is always week but strong willed and wants to help, and protect the girl that is actualy protecting him. In all of these animes the girl thinks nothing of the boy but slowly finds them selfes wanting to protect the ordanary boy, and faling emotionaly atached to them. if you liked one of these animes you should like the others

Both of these series follow female warriors and their male companions. They both have this extremely bad-ass feel while showing that they both have a sensitive side. These two anime are very similar in this aspect, but totally different in every other. Give them both a try.

So we have similar main character duo in both Claymore and Fate/Stay Night, the weak guy and strong girl. Then we have their slowly developing relationship. Did I mention that both shows have plenty of action, fights and gore. If you sum that up, you get two similar shows and there is a big chance that you will like one if you enjoyed the other.

Both are fantasy, and both are about fighting pretty women :> If you liked this anime, u just have to see the other one as well :)

Both these anime are interesting in the fact that the lead female kicks so much ass and has a cold heart to almost everything except the main male eventually. But the main male will drive you nuts and you WILL want to murder him. Super similar characters with totally different plots. If you liked one check out the other.

Both animes have similar character development and have a girl with a sword (that also looks similar).(personally i prefer claymore out of these animes)although fate stay night was too enjoyable.another similarity is that both animes have a dark atmosphere, this is only at some points with fate/stay, but claymore the darkness is throughout all the anime. 

The three things that draw these series together are their characters (and their development), the action, and the mysterious organization pulling strings. Both of these series revolve around a strong female lead that fights with everything she has, even to the point of it killing (or transforming) her. Also, the females follow a similar development, having no show of emotions to start, but slowly given them. Also, the male leads have have a similar mentality of "I fight to protects other, but I don't like violence in general." Also, each of these stories revolve around a lot of violence. Finally, there is a large, mysterious organization pulling strings behind each of the stories.

Like badass women who wield big swords? Then you will love Fate/stay night and Claymore, both shows feature epic battles and fast paced fantasy action.

Although they have very different settings both shows feature seemingly cold hearted women warriors that have dedicated their lives to battle. However as each series progresses the females' softer side is brought out through their relationship with someone they are protecting.

One warning though, Claymore is much gorier than Fate/stay night.

Both have female warriors as main characters, but Claymore's setting is much more dark and...lethal.

Likewise, both male lead's are driven by "I must protect you! (even though you're a trained killing machine, armored and armed to the teeth)" mindset, which can provide some character development.

If you enjoyed one, you will surely enjoy the other.

Both have a great plot and style; I see a lot of things in Claymore that made Hellsing so great.

The main character is being followed by a human personality that believes in him/her. They both deal with a struggle between good and evil, and of course,  deaths on the good side.

While Hellsing and Claymore are different as far as plot, both have a certain coolness and style to them that can't be beat. Hellsing is a lot more crude animation-wise, but still, it and Claymore have an undoubtedly awesome style. If you liked one, try out the other.

Both Claymore and Hellsing have unnatural beings which power up the story line, and each anime keeps you surprised each time you learn something new. Each deals with the fight between light and dark, with both main characters using the other side's "method" to defeat them.

Claymore and Hellsing present a unique view on monsters. For example, vampires and monsters are often shown as being uber-powerful creatures, but Hellsing and Claymore take them to the next level; they've never been this awesome and powerful! Claymore has an original explanation of how the monsters came to exist, as well. In general, the feelings of darkness and fear you'll get are alike in both anime.  

Seras Victoria (Hellsing) and Raki (Claymore) have both seen much bloodshed already in their young lives, and have both been victims of its awful consequences, events which are shown at the very beginning of both series. As a result of this, Raki decides to follow the demon-slayer Clare, and Seras Victoria begins to see Alucard as her natural master, presenting us with the beginnings of a potentially strong-bonded ‘Master and Underling' relationship. In this relationship we often see an uncharacteristic level of care for the underling by the master, implying that both Clare and Alucard are not as inhuman as they would have everyone believe, yet their quite frankly demonic powers would make one question the level of humanity residing within each character. Raki and Seras Victoria must also endure the pain of seeing their masters commit themselves fully in each battle, putting their very lives on the line each time, whilst still thirsting demonically for even more bloodshed.

There is also the influence of an organization in guiding our main characters on their adventures, but we will often be forced to question if the organization is merely using our protagonists and do they actually have no deeper care for them beyond requirements of battle? Both plots are twisted frequently, and friends may appear to be enemies and vice versa before the end of the journey is reached. The sounds and visuals we are presented with are used cleverly and appropriately to build a sinister and foreboding environment for the story to be played out within. Expect plenty of bloodshed and limb hacking in both Anime, with some special techniques thrown in that help to keep each battle interesting and different from the one before.

Claymore and Hellsing are very similair in many ways. Nonstop action, an intricate plotline, and an outstanding government group dedicated to destroying Demons and Ghouls to protect the innocent. Violence and humor are both present in small doses in each Anime and characterization is top notch. All in all, if you enjoyed Hellsing, you would do well to watch Claymore, and if you enjoyed Claymore, you would do well to watch Hellsing.

Both animes series are all about killing monsters in claymore they are yoma and in hellsing the just are vampires but both have good story lines...overall they both kick ass

Both are very violent and both are very well written. Rather than a solid reason, it's really just a hunch that you will like them both. I enjoyed both very much.

Again we have a secret, nameless society who have found an edge on the enemy. Hellsing uses Vampires to kill Vampires and Claymore uses half demon hybrids to kill demons.

Intrigued by things that go bump in the night, and you don't live in a black and white world? Sometimes blood-thirsty monsters make the best heroes. Both of these series are set in innovative worlds where you get to cheer for your hero to prove that s/he is the strongest inhuman killer.

Both have gore scenes grat action ,great fighting scenes ... And very interesting storyline ... In both anime main characters are very interesting with own way of thinking ... GReaT ANIME FOR DEMONS SLASHING FANS :)Anime for people who like blood , flying bodies and superpowers ... For people who like very good characters with interesting history ... For anime fans with strong nerves ...

Another dark style sort of anime. Both are quite violent. I felt towards the end of claymore it starts to fall behind compared with hellsing. Nevertheless, if u liked hellsing, i think u are likely to enjoy claymore or vice versa.

Hellsing and Claymore share many things in common, both of them have similar plot elements, both of them are intense horror, bloody, violent shows featuring superhuman beings (like vampires in Hellsing and demons in Claymore). In both animes we see main protagonists possessing supernatural powers, making use of them to protect man-kind and kill their own kind. Both animes deal with a struggle between good and evil. If you liked one of this shows then be sure to check the other one as well.

While the two may differ in terms of plot both give off an amazing atmosphere that just draws the viewer in that makes it hard to stop watching at any point.  With both stories taking place in supernatural worlds and following people who's job it is to elimanate the threats that threaten the humans that live in that world.

Both Claymore and Hellsing involve an organization that hunts and destroys a demonic-like force. And the hunters of these organizations have the blood of the creature they hunt. Both anime are dark and gritty with a twisted sense of humor.

Dark twist and amazing story line, these two are similar, mature and actiony. Lots of  justice, gore, learning, and epicness.

Hellsing, just like Claymore, has a inhuman main chacter who has a poor reception form their peers becuase of a certain attriubute. Both have a 'innocent' character follows our portagnist and learns the truth of the world they live in along the journey coming to their own conclusions about life.

The anime both have similar styles in both writing and animation.  They both deal heavilty in the realms of the supernatural and tend toward the darker side of storytelling.  Both are animated in a similar, Gothic, style.
