Watched the first Episode of a series called Claymore and I was quite impressed by it. Anyone seen it? Hear is a bit of a blurb about it
In this world, humans coexist with creatures called Yoma sentient monsters that feed on human innards. The Yoma, being shapeshifters, are capable of taking on human form and living in disguise amongst humans. By consuming a human's brain, Yoma can also absorb their memories, allowing them to disguise themselves as specific people without alerting any of their close friends or family.
A nameless and highly secretive organization has created an order of superhuman warriors to protect humans from the Yoma. These warriors have come to be popularly known as Claymores, after the immense claymores they wield. Villages being attacked by Yoma hire Claymores to kill the Yoma for a large fee.
This organization creates the Claymores by implanting Yoma flesh and blood into humans, thus creating hybrids that are more powerful than the original Yoma, in addition to their weapons training and often greater intelligence.
More can be found on Wikipedia.
Anyway the show has a nice mysterious,brooding atmosphere to it and is well animated. Story looks good so far and it has a fair amount of action.
Currently watching Ah My Goddess TV series. I loved the OVA, but haven't seen the TV version yet
Anyway I'm six episodes in and it's brilliant
