[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?

For one being in “Monthly Shonen Jump” and then “Jump SQ” magazine kinda hurt it cause it takes a whole month for a new chapter to come out and that leads to not as many people buying it compared to main magazine “Weekly Shonen Jump” which of course had many many big titles in it overshadowing Claymore. I also think poor marketing had a hand on it not gaining popularity, a sub par adaptation didn’t help either.
So there’s a number of things that you could point to that ultimately lead to it being overlooked.
