Characters are monotonic, that you probably either like that character or hate him/her. There are a few characters that I absolutely love, but there are also these whom I would almost skip the scene when they appear. Just remember that, when you are getting pissed of by the little boy Raki just like I did when I watched it, watch on; since he won't be in most of the episodes anyway.
The artwork and sound aren't especially impressive either, but they are not that bad that it affects the overall enjoyment of the anime.
Despite all these, I thought Claymore is definitely worth watching just because those few episodes. You will know it when they come.
