The 'prostitute kiss' is an anime only thing, iirc. It's the last time they see each other (manga) for a looooooooooooooong time, so the anime team went over the top with Clare's 'goodbye'.

Manga > Anime then? :lol:
 
That kiss was probably one of the highlights in terms of character development as well as a nice "HOLYSHIT" moment. A nice touch by MADHOUSE.

Also Spyro, I'd say the anime is better as a whole, except maybe the ending.

Ditto.

The main thing I felt Madhouse improved was the background art. When reading the manga, I felt everything looked the same and that made the world come across as dull, but when watching the anime I never felt like that. The excellent use of colour helped out a lot.

Until the end, there's not a lot between the manga and anime in terms of differences - near to nothing, in fact - so, up until that point, the anime obviously wins because the artwork is lovely, it's animated, it has colour and the soundtrack is top class. As ever, Madhouse only failed because of their inability to not screw up endings.
 
Well it just wouldn't be right if I didn't post here as claymore is my favourite Manga and one of my top 10 Anime titles.

I liked the anime, thought it was great and made me buy the manga, the ended was kinda sucky though in all honesty.. and Raki turned out to be the most useless person ever to have existed in an anime!
 
This series was among the first anime i watched an i thought it was awesome, although i nearly couldn't go on after the flashback arc finished, it depressed me so much lol. It got me started on the manga too, but i only have the first 5 volumes at present.
