Whoa!, Great Fantasy Anime

This type of anime while attractive to most is not the typical genre I am drawn to but no doubt can it pull you into the fantasy genre of anime. I actually ran into this series on the 5th episode on a Tv station and went looking for the beginning and it was surely worth it. Claymores are humans mixed with beasts or monsters called Yoma and they are trained to seek and destroy the Yoma that feed on human innards.

The female version of BERSERK

So after watching the latest episodes of bleach and naruto, I was wondering what other anime out there was good. So I asked a friend for some suggestions. He recommended a few comedies that I would like but I asked him if there were any with a nice plot and very serious without that "bulging eye" humor stuff in it. So he said try Claymore.
