Shingeki no Kyojin

I gotta say yo', this series really did remind me of Claymore. Both series share a very similar dark vibe by: -Having lots of violence and fighting. Claymore has blood... everywhere. People get their body parts chopped off too. -Having scary monsters that threaten humanity. Shengeki no Kyojin has the titans, while Claymore has the youma. Youma are humanoid creatures that consume human flesh and take the appearance of the people they eat. Claymores, female warriors created by a group called 'The Organization', are tasked with dispatching these wretched creatures. BUT keep in mind that Claymore is not entirely focused on how the Youma threaten humanity. Instead, it focuses more on character development and the shitty tasks Claymores are forced to handle instead. -Having a plot about revenge. Eren joins the freakin' Recon Corps to get revenge on the Titans. In Claymore, there is stuff about settling personal grudges against some beasts. I don't want to spoil it for anyone though so I won't elaborate on it too much. -Having lots of suffering. We all know that Shingeki no Kyojin has a lot of drama and suffering, but so does Claymore! The Claymores (female warriors) created by The Organization have sacrificed their humanity in order to obtain the strength to fight the youma; orphaned girls are embedded with the flesh of a youma in order to become half-human, half-youma. This causes a bunch of problems. Not only do these Claymores lack love and compassion in their life, but they also face the possibility of turning into MONSTERS themselves if they use too much of their powers. -Having intriguing arcs and twists. Both series have plot twists and awesome arcs. Viewers will almost always root for the protagonists in these series. _________- If you are looking for another dark anime to cure your post-anime depression, the anime Claymore will be stimulating enough to keep your depression at bay.

If you liked Fairy Tail but still wished for a series with greater depth, I HIGHLY recommend watching both Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic and its sequel, Magi: The Kingdom of Magic. -Both series are about friendship -Both series have their fair share of humor. Just like FT, Magi can be considered as one of those more "lighthearted" series. -Both have magic and special powers. Everyone has the potential/capacity to at least do some sort of magic. -Both have fighting -Both have an adventurous vibe; the cast of characters go to a bunch of different places and solve a bunch of problems. There are arcs in different countries and nations. Magi is a fun, adventurous little series, much like Fairy Tail! There's a reason why it's so successful in Japan.
