Dark: (Style) Titles that are dismal or gloomy in nature qualify for this category.

Adventure: (Genre) Titles where the characters are involved in an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks.

Action Drama: (Genre) Much like "Action" (lots of shooting, explosions, and the like) except it has "Drama" thrown in as well.

Claymore
Rent Set in a mideval time, the Yoma (demons) have been feeding upon the humans. They have become so skilled that when they feed upon a person completely, they can assume the form, mannerisms, and memories of the people they kill. This allows them to blend into society where they cannot be found. Whenever these Yoma appear the Claymore follow. This is a group of young girls dressed in armor and sporting large 'Claymore' swords. Their job is to hunt down and kill all of these Yoma. Half Human and Half Yoma, these 'girls' only live to kill demons. Possessing super speed, strength, and healing abilities, they hunt down Yoma for any village that can pay the price.

And yet, Shu tries to plead for his ideals...
