Violent/Adventure/Action Drama/Drama Titles

#
Violent: (Objectionable Content) Titles that include as an important part of their content excessive displays of cruelty, blood and gore. Any of the classical 'slasher' films would qualify for this keyword. The series Black Lagoon would be a good example; as many of its chapters involve killer lolis, chainsaw mercenaries and flying body parts.

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.

Drama: (Genre) Titles that show a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces. See also: "Action Drama".

Claymore

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.
