Yeah, come to think of it, that was a pretty good opening section! I watched that back in the days before I knew who Oguri Shun was (yes, back in the Dark Ages, that was), so I can't say that he himself left much of an impression on me. My main memory of the film itself was that it was a very solid piece of cheese :-), and I quite liked it.
I've gotta get onto more Claymore; I've only seen the first episode of the anime to date, and you always make it sound so good.
