I marathoned Claymore too. It’s just not the type of series I can watch episode by episode. It was definitely a fun ride, and very surprising since I walked into it not expecting anything too exciting. I was like, “Oh, I hear people like this. I’ll check it out.” But by the end, I was like “Claaaarrreeee~!” ;P

I thoroughly agree with your statement. If I had watched Claymore weekly, it would not have had as great an impact. Now if it was a slice-of-life, I may have winded up shooting myself in the arm. 26 episodes of a shounen-action genre goes down the hatch really well. Claymore adds some nice bonuses along the way.

This week is all marathon! ^^

Claymore is an awesome series, although the ending is left quite open ended like many other anime the action and plot are worth the time. Also with regards to marathoning (watching several episodes in a row eg over 10), through my experience I find that it actually increases the enjoyability of the series. By watching several episodes in succession there is no long winded one week wait for the next episode. Also the plot feels less disjointed and what happens in the previous episode will be fresh in your mind as you watch the next. Kind of improves the quality of plot development in the viewers perspective. I guess its a little hard to explain but I’m sure those who have marathoned can understand this concept easily.
