I love how this series has single-handedly increased the number of women with traumatic and angsty eye injuries by 200% or so.

As far as I know, it's only by 2/3s since a main character in Venus Versus Virus wears an eye patch that comes with an angsty backstory.

I am still disturbed by the overt sexualization of the female Awakened Beings.

Yeah, it is disturbing that female Awakened Beings are accompanied with T&A, but this series hits so many of my narrative buttons that I'm distracted from it. Especially when Yagi took the potentially gender squicky paternalistic organization and turned it into the Claymores forming alliances to overthrow it.
