I agree with what an earlier review stated about this being as awesome as ROLW. I used to be an avid anime watcher. But somewhere along the line I lost interest in them. Claymore revived that interest. This is a serious anime. The way I like em. No joking and silly plots. They get to the point. Awesome story, artwork and lets not forget the soundtrack. The only thing that people wouldn't like is the fact that it ends. Whereas the manga continues {even now}
Personally I see that as a good thing. Seeing as though the manga isn't finished, we'd of been subject to FILLER had this anime continued. I can't watch Naruto or Bleach for that very reason. Gimme the good stuff or nothing at all I say. Claymore does that. It follows the manga 100 % until the last few episodes where they change it in order to wrap it up. I don't see anything wrong with stopping while you're ahead. Go on too long people {like myself} get bored and quit caring. Some people just need closure, I'm glad SOME animes still believe in that."

"Yes, I get goose bumps thinking about it finally being encoded into MPG on a disc.
I have the fansubs on my hard drive from a couple years back...
but now it finally got licensed here in america!
I won't even bother listening to the dub, but hey, if that is what you want....
The manga rips on this anime of course, but any true anime fan has to agree that chicks killing monsters with swords, well, that is about as good as it gets."
