When I heard about some story with gore and cruelty of some Youma monsters and a beautiful female warriors I was very excited to see that. Unfortunately I was disappointed. This should have been an awesome series, but it's destroyed with a weak ending and irritating character Raki. Also, I didn't like the main protagonist of Claymore, Clare. She was too calm, mute and empty. I wanted to see some another who would lead the plot (in manga, phantom Miria have a bigger role). Instead of her personality I prefer Galatea, Miria,Teresa and Irene. Some characters who are much more interesting to the story, and not less important, like Isley of the North or Riful of the West haven't had enough time to demonstrate their power and abillity because we haven't see enough of them. And, because of that, manga is much much better. What I love is dark animation of monster. Claymore anime have a very serious art of gore and brutallity and the animation of monsters (Youma) is really magnificent, not funny and not silly like some clowny monster from Bleach (like Hollows). And I liked dark fantasy genre that contain strong story telling, but in the anime, story is unfinished and incomplete. I'm already sad, this show would be much greater but it's ruined with a terrible end.
