Claymore/Ai Yori Aoshi/End of Evangelion

I decided to start following a manga that is still in production rather than having to buy a full set at a single time (doesn't feel quite right). So after seeing 'Claymore' advertised in the Death Note manga I read before, I became quite intrigued. After reading the first three volumes, I was quite impressed by some good character development and backstory. The first volume felt a little contrived but I have to admit, the following two volumes seemed to lose that element. I do like the plot surrounding the main character known as a 'Claymore' as it illuminates the sweeter aspects of humanity.

But as many know, humanity is sweet and bitter.

I am also getting engrosed in another anime to make up the stupendous amount of time I have available for the moment. Ai Yori Aoshi is surprising as it seems to have this charm that gets you hooked. Mostly due to the very lovely character Aoi, the kindness of whom is probably the purest I have ever seen in an anime character. I always find myself very very eagerly watching the interaction between Kaoru and Aoi if they are ever near each other, even in a crowd. Aoi is a rather beautiful name too.
Ha it is nice to watch an innocent series once in a while...I've been Elfen Lied out!

And finally, I searched google images for End of Evangelion to make up a signature of some sort and came across a screenshot. And the feeling that I have always cherished came back. That feeling of profoundness, that the life around you is completely trivial. Beautiful. Of course I must post the screenshot which is of the scene of Rei and Shinji as one.
