Claymore

Similar concept in that Claymores/Exorcists are hired/sent to destroy monsters that's been terrorizing the town (Youma/Akuma), and that these monsters can take the form of any human.
this anime is kind of similar as it evolves the characters joining an organisation and fights demons to maintain peace.. one of the best animes of all time//.. =)
Both people with special powers that kill demons....both have a dark theme, however Claymore is has more profanity
both stories have almost the same monsters.... akuma's killing people for food and for them to evolve and take form of the people they ate. claymore's youma or yoma also shows the same..... youma eat humans for food and they evolve to stronger monsters and as they say... allen W, is half human half akuma... clare in claymore is half human, half yoma.
Both involve organizations fighting against demon-like beings. Both accent on one main character with strong motives to fight and reveal other characters' backgrounds and stories while one main theme progresses.
If you like white-haired people slaying evil talking demons that can turn into and devour humans, then you will love both anime. Although Clare > Allen any day of the goldarn week.

The monster slayers from both anime can become the monster itself when overusing the power (the fall condition).
Both have the same medeival setting with a group of people trying to exorcise/eliminate for humans that have turned into akuma/yoma.
Both are about groups of people with individual special powers who fight monsters that have different difficultly levels and are able to take the form of humans. Additionally some of the voice actors are the same.

Both had very good character development, leading to outrageously crazy powerful boss fights. Isn't that how all anime should be?

If you like the supernatural aspect of d gray man fighting against akuma then you will like claymore for its world,where humans coexist with demonic predators called Yoma And its mysterious organization that created half-human, half-Yoma warriors to fight yomas
Claymore and D.Gray-man are both unique animes that feature very dark and gory storylines. The main plot consists of the MC(Main Character) traveling around the world/land with friends or supporters in search of man-eating demons/monsters that terrorize villages and cities. The MCs of both series belong to an organization which although has mysterious roots is devoted to the eradication of the man-eating monsters and oversees the dispatching of the "monster hunters".Those belonging to these organizations in both series face discrimination, hate, and are viewed as being as bad as the monsters most of the time although they are fighting for the people The monsters depicted
