The trailer didn't give much of what I expected. It looks good, but it seemed like there wasn't as much gore and action as I thought there should be. Then again, it's only a trailer so obviously I can't make any conclusions. Also I couldn't hear any of the background music which usually gets me hyped up. I hope Madhouse did a good job animating the action scenes, the trailer only showed like 2 seconds of battle scenes.
I have to say all of the new shows coming out this year seem to look really good in terms of visual quality.

Trailers almost always look great, since they're meant to entice potential viewers into watching or salivate existing fans of the material. Generally, the worst quality of a trailer (( in this case, not including the long-haired Claymore part )) is generally the more consistent general quality of the anime, but this is Madhouse, and we'd get some lower-than-usual qualities occasionally. Not that we can blame them, since they're like involved in the production or in-between jobs of probably 583 animes at a time.
Not to mention this trailer isn't extremely impressive animation-wise (( there's not that much of fluid action scenes in it )), but rather the atmosphere and apparent visual directing (( storyboarding )) that is involved in the production of Claymore is what stands out more for me. I'd comment on the music as well, if only the audio didn't suck so bad. And Vexx, this show has females weilding Claymores with one hand, along with monsters. Think Black Lagoon level of realism, only with swords.

Plus, what I saw didn't really look like a trailer as much as a couple of random clips put together. Trailers are often edited to provide a single viewer experience (the trailer for Darker than Black is a good example).
I'm looking forward to seeing more of this title, but we really haven't seen anything to base an opinion on yet. It could suck, it could be pretty good, one could still hope for the best. I think it is fair to say that the show has potential, and that nothing that has been released is conclusive that that potential will go to waste, but until we see a decent quality clip of reasonable length (with proper audio!) all we really have is speculation. |

Since I first started reading the Claymore manga more than 2 years ago, it instantly became one of my favorite manga series up there with Berserk and Inhabitant of Immortality. And Madhouse is one of my favorite anime studios for manga-to-anime conversion. I'm really looking forward to this anime now, just hope they don't be too cheap with the animation.

Anyway, the manga is farly good (not at the level of masterpieces like Berserk, but it's still rather nice) so I do hope Madhouse will remain faithful to its original style and plot as much as possible. |

Like I said, this Claymore trailer isn't exactly Dennou Coil, Bokurano or Darker than Black, which all gave a solid, strong idea on how the animation will look like consistently, a feel on how the series will work in execution and also the atmosphere of the series. It's not very impressive, but it gets the neccesary message of Claymore across, which is good at this stage. Nice to see I'm not the only guy who thinks Red Eyes is sheer freaking awesomeness. Especially the part that showed how the manga got it's name. Badassery of Alucard proportions.

Oh no, quite the contrary. The Disgaea trailer was pretty awesome in the eyes of many, and it give fans of the game something to really get excited about.
And then, the anime started....... Mind you, I have a lot of faith in Madhouse, so hopefully we wont have to deal with another Disgaea horror anytime soon. It doesnt hurt to be cautious about the trailer though.

I own a cute little Etona figure courtesy of the Disgaea trailer and the first couple of episodes... and then the bottom fell out of the show ... ohhhh the bad...
Fortunately, my Etona figure is still cute. She guards my home fileserver. Yeah.... I'm sure we've all seen the movie trailer wherein *EVERY* single action shot or gag that was actually not garbage is in it --- so when you actually see the movie you walk out before the end it was so bad. Therefore I'm usually suspicious of trailers (though the 5cm was so out there that I figured the first episode could be completely plotless and we'd watch the pretty pictures - fortunately it measured up to the trailer).

Me, I'm just checking up, I didn't like the preview chapter I saw of Claymore in Shonen Jump and am in no way interested in seeing any more of it in any form, but I'll do my usual information brokering and logical analysis when I can help. |

Happily this won't matter for long, as raws should start appearing in a few hours, and then we can determine what kind of quality we are going to get.

While I totally agree with you on the audio(totally wish I could see the trailer straight from the site), I believe you are contradicting yourself on the definition of a trailer. A trailer is exactly what you said (see first line on second paragraph here). And anyway for tv shows usually most of the clips they get are from the first episode, so you can't really expect that much from it other than the visual quality and animation.
With that aside, I'm getting paranoid trying to get the raws of the shows I want to watch today. Man if only I had something to keep me occupied for the time being.
