Depressing Anime!!!


Overall this is the greatest anime I've ever seen. It's depressing. It's not going to make you cry, but close. The story starts a bit faster than most shows do at the beginning, but without seeming like it's in a rush. Claymore follows the adventures of Clare, a Yoma killer. Yomas eat human guts. Clare is part of a super secretive organization with the purpose of exterminating Yoma. In order kill a Yoma, you have to be half Yoma. This method has some side effects. When you use too much Yoma power, it goes out of control and you turn into one. At this point you usually get one of your comrades to cut your head off. Great.

This Bleach Isn't For Cleaning

Bleach. It's an anime. It's almost as big as Naruto, I like it more than Naruto. It's about a guy named Ichigo. He's able to sees spirits. One day he see a bad spirit monster, called a hollow, being pursued by a shinigami, spirits that slay hollows. The hollow eventually goes after Ichigo, then Rukia, the shinigami he saw, comes to save him. She gets wounded, leaving Ichigo no choice but to take her powers if he wants to live. Their adventures begin.

The story of Bleach have nothing to do with actual bleach. Though I vaguely remember seeing some as Ichigo was running from a Hollow in his house, but that's it. The storyline is actually pretty good. There's a couple cool plot twists, but not a lot, though there enough. There's no repetitiveness after you're though the introductory episodes. Any Naruto fan should watch it.
