Thanks agr964, Rightstuf has a full description as well which I'm pleased about because I wanted to know what exactly the art box was, special features, etc.

Damn I wanna order it, still undecided... but I love Claymore...

EDIT:

To coincide with the new NA release I thought I'd list the English voice actors announced so far who are chosen to voice key characters in Claymore. I'm actually waiting to hear how they sound and have decided that I will pre-order that first volume in he next two days (damn my love of Claymore). I'll probably always favor the japanese audio more but I'm intruiged nonetheless.

I don't know any of these voice actors so I can attest to whether or not they're decent but Stephanie Young voiced a character in Samurai 7 (can't remember who the character was or what she sounded like) and Samurai 7 is one of the few animes with an English dub almost as good as the Japanese one (Kambei's voice in the Jpn version is much better) :

Clare: Stephanie Young

Raki: Todd Haberkorn

Teresa: Christine Auten (can't confirm this one).

Rubel: Bruce Elliot

I really, really hope Teresa's English voice turns out as good as her Japanese voice.

Thanks for the reassurance Gemini, can't wait until the first volume releases.

Can't wait for Claymore's domestic release. Limited Box set for me. It's like DBZ & Berserk rolled into one but with girls. This is one of the few animes that makes the women just pure fighters rather than cute and sexy characters.

Like everyone else, I'm worried about the dub. My draw dropped when they butchered DBZ.

I got mine in the mall a few days ago. Didn't get a chance to watch it this past weekend, so I'll likely watch it on Saturday. I did see the first episode at Otakon and was quite pleased with the dub so far.

Curse Amazon! First, Gantz Vol.2 isn't shipping until December or January (my eyes rolled out of my head on that news), and now apparently Claymore Vol. 1 isn't shipping until either a) 8-11 days from now or b) November 11 onward.

Right now I'm going to see if I can get it anywhere else, I'm not too concerned about Gantz Vol. 2 at the moment.

EDIT: Gantz Vol. 2 just shipped this afternoon. Spoke too soon I suppose. Embarassed

Just finished watching Vol. 1. I originally watched the series in Japanese but the English dub is pretty close too the quality of the original Japanese Dub. It's funny though, Raki is voiced by the English Dub director and he sounds really bad, voice cracks a lot.

Kind of a trivial thing to necro a thread over but: I was in Shoppers Drugmart today and I was walking by those L'Oreal products, when I swear to SXXX that I saw a striking resemblance to Teresa lol:

Hahaha, well I think there's a pretty good likeness anyway Razz
