A certain aspect of the anime bothered the hell out of me. They repeated everything , every time there was a fight. Their thoughts should not run for five minutes straight about something that happened that only lasted three seconds. "How can this be? She's turning into,...blah blah five minute inner monologue about something already previously mentioned each episode." All the while the Yoma and the Claymores are just staring at each other, breathing heavily. The fight could have been over by then. I've never seen an anime with inner monologue lasting that long (perhaps I've just been missing those each time I choose a new one to watch lol). Other then that, it's alright; I enjoyed the style.
As for a recommendation, have you seen Samurai Champloo? It's an older one as well. It's not similar (since it's based in Edo period Japan), but it's one of my favorites.
