Claymore






I've been reading the manga and watching the anime, both of which are very well done. Normally I'll read a manga series and then watch the anime and complain about how much better the manga was compared to the anime but not this time.
Storyline: The Yoma, being shapeshifters, are capable of taking on human form and living in disguise amongst humans. By consuming a human's brain, Yoma can also absorb their memories, allowing them to disguise themselves as specific people without alerting any of their close friends or family. A nameless and highly secretive organization has created an order of superhuman warriors to protect humans from the Yoma. These warriors have come to be popularly known as Claymores, after the immense claymores they wield. Villages being attacked by Yoma hire Claymores to kill the Yoma for a large fee. The plot follows Clare as she fights Yoma and struggles to hold on to her humanity. As the series progresses, she becomes a stronger and better fighter, gradually earning the respect of strong allies and coming in conflict with the shadowy organization, the top Claymores who support them, and many powerful "Awakened".

Games Turned Anime

There are quite a few games I would like to see turned into an anime and although some have already been done (Tales Of Phantasia, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger), I would like to see them redone and actually taken seriously. I've been watching the Devil May Cry series and although it isn't really following the storyline, it's pretty good. Here is my list of games I'd like to see turned into anime:
1. Final Fantasy 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12
2. Guilty Gear
3. Kingdom Hearts
4. Suikoden Series
5. Valkyrie Profile
6. Shadow Hearts
7. Tales Of Phantasia (redo)
8. Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger
9. Legend Of Dragoon
10. Star Ocean Series
11. Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
12. Jade Empire
13. Phantasy Star 4
14. God Of War
15. Shin Megami Tensei Series

No real point in making a list of anime turned into games. Most of them have been done already and maybe one or two don't suck. Although I do have high hopes for Ubisoft's Naruto game for the Xbox 360, so far it looks pretty good.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3



I've been waiting for this game for a while, it'll hit store shelves August 14. In Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, you'll assume the role of a high school student, who was orphaned as a young boy, and has recently transferred to Gekkoukan High School on Port Island. Only days after he arrives at the school dorm, he is attacked by a Shadow. The assault awakens his Persona, Orpheus, his only chance at defeating this creature of the night. He soon discovers that he shares this special ability with other students at his new school. If you're a fan of the previous Shin Megami Tensei games you should definitely pick this one up.
