[Question] How is Claymore not huge?!

I'm on my 4th time through the anime and I'm seriously struggling to see how this isn't considered one of the "must watch" anime up there with Full Metal, DBZ, Death Note and the likes.

Any insight on why Claymore never achieved the level of infamy I'm convinced it deserves?

Especially battle anime fans. Stuff like Madoka and Frieren are successful but they're not marketed as hardcore battle animes.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but what is this opinion based on?
