Today I watched an entire anime episode in picture form for the first time.
I feel proud.
By the way, Claymore the anime series is awesome. Ended right where it needed to. 
I'm not so sure. Haven't seen the alternate anime ending episodes as I read the mange from start of the northern campaign arc onwards and what I can say is so far the stuff we get after the timeskip is pretty good.
Even managed to surprise me with a story twist (well, less the twist as more the depht of the twist, well done) which is rather rare, so it gets my seal of approval.
Shame though there's so little of Claymore ... I read it all in three days worth along with the anime. I need moar.
And right now, I am watching "Oda Nobuna no yabou" .. so far it seems like some hilariously bad self-insert fanfic, but set in the Sengoku Jidai, which makes it an automatic win for me.
Another thing I can recommend is the Sengoku Basara anime ... it's so over the top hammy you won't stop laughing at times. My bike is a horse FTW!
