To Karharot and grandy_UiD - I totally respect your opinions, and have nothing against you for liking Claymore/disagreeing with me. To that kid Monad - learn to respect others opinions, and stop twisting my words into meanings I didn't intend to put into them. I've heard that sales were low tho, would love someone to show some real numbers, I would be glad to see if I was wrong. My reasoning for a lot of stuff that I said about sales, why its bad and so on is based on comparison with other, kinda similar (maybe sharing elements, etc. note not identical) series. You can't expect to have high numbers of sales when your product is inferior to a lot of stuff out there, that you, in some cases, are somewhat of a clone.
About the genres - I love almost ALL genres, as long as it's quality storytelling. I'm a gore hound also. Berserk is one of my all time favorite mangas. Vinland Saga, although not fantasy, is still quality hack and slash (before it became Farmland Saga). Dorohedoro is a different kind of fantasy (more original), plenty of gore, plenty of brilliant dark humor. Claymore is just boring bad, compared. And I'll repeat myself for the kids out there (or those that are mentally at that level), that's just my opinion.
I'm not looking to pick any mangas that are still publishing (hence why I haven't read Gantz, have been putting it off for many yaers), tho some titles like Historie and some others really make that decision hard.
Cheers and I hope that the manga gets a continuation of whatever kind, not for me, but for you guys that enjoyed it.
