Claymore is an anime that can be really interesting and boring to watch. There were episodes which were among the best that I have seen but the start and the end of the anime disappointed me. Due to those episodes in the middle I actually hoped that the ending would be as good. I was disappointed

Characters are monotonic, that you probably either like that character or hate him/her. There are a few characters that I absolutely love, but there are also these whom I would almost skip the scene when they appear. Just remember that, when you are getting pissed ... of by the little boy Raki just like I did when I watched it, watch on; since he won't be in most of the episodes anyway.

The artwork and sound aren't especially impressive either, but they are not that bad that it affects the overall enjoyment of the anime.

Despite all these, I thought Claymore is definitely worth watching just because those few episodes. You will know it when they come.

Paranoia Agent is a very complex and therefore annoying anime., but somehow it is also so addictive and surreal.

I am sure this anime will provoke a lot of thoughts and different interpretations, simply due to the way the story is told. There were humorous elements which forces you to laugh because of how ridiculous it is. I think the Japanese name of the anime describes it better, as it is really full of "crazy thoughts".

The opening is also very unnerving to watch the first time. People laughing hysterically in broken houses and in the air. There is something supernatural in the ... animation that makes you feel quite uncomfortable

Towards the end of the anime I really thought the director of the anime was insane, simply because how weird but brilliant it was. The ending was among the worst and therefore also the best I have seen.

This anime is suitable for people who are seeking to something different and challenge, or simply people who want to sit back and enjoy.

Firstly I would have to say that this anime is not for someone who is not able to persevere till the end before they began whining about how bad or confusing the anime is. I won't recommend this to people who know that they are not very smart either, because the message behind the story is quite deep.

"Will You Kill Someone You Love, Because Of Love?"

This is quite an intelligent anime with two stunningly exciting opening episodes. It explores guilt and love; goodness and evil in human heart. Its emotions are genuine and are multi-textual. If you understand the tag-line ... (the question) above, you would probably understand what I mean. This anime greatly portrays the complication of mixed human emotions. Does love triumph over hate? Does doubt show even in the strongest-willed person when he is placed in despair?

The OP song is one of my favorite songs all time. The opening animation also fits the song's lyrics very well.

Overall I have enjoyed the anime so much that I couldn't wait for the good quality one to download and had to watch the blurry one on YouTube.

Ga-Rei -Zero- is currently my favorite anime.
