Review of Chrono Crusade

Welcome to my Review of Chrono Crusade, this is definitely one of my top 5 rated anime's. I remember the first time I came across this anime was when I was in a anime club where I got free dvd's sent through the mail. I think I checked out a few episodes. They were dubbed though. Viewers beware if you watch this anime, definitely do not watch it dubbed. Its WAY better if you watch this series subbed. I tried giving it a chance until I heard Satala's Dubbed English voice. Her screams were just damaging to the ears lol. Story: Chrono Crusade talks about a demonthat has lost his powers due to his horn being taken away, and has a contract with a sister called Rosette. In order for Chrono to turn back into his true form (demon), he requires Rosette to give him her life force. The longer he stays in that form, the shorter Rosette's life becomes. Rosette tries to find his missing brother, and Chrono helps her out along this journey.The story is really captivating and keeps the audience looking forward for the next episode. The story stays intact from the beginning until the end, there's almost no made up episodes which are unrelated with the actual plot. Let me reword that, absolutely NO FILLERS. The plot continues its pace through out the anime. The ending is very very sad. Be prepared!

Characters:

The characters are indeed captivating and eye catching, especially the girls. Rosetta Christopher the Heroine is a Nun whom I highly enjoy. She is beautiful, hot, short tempered, does stuff her own way, and can be really selfish at times, clumsy, and never listens to anyone! Azumaria, the sidekick of their group is one cutie pie, her voice is like an Angel's. Not to mention that she sings so gracefully and magnificent. Its hard for me choose which is my favorite characters, both Chrono and Rosette's play just perfect roles in the plot. The character development is clearly presented, and you get to know about the character's past, as well as the history to what has been the cause of the present situation. The main villain is way to cool. He doesn't have a bunch of corny lines either like most evil villains do on some anime shows.

Music:

Despite having the same opening and ending being played again and again for the entire 24 episodes, the songs were very nice and pleasant to listen to. The lyrics and music are well versed and suitable for the anime. Nothing to complain here, I just love the music. The audio sounds with in the series are perfect and match every moment rather if its a hilarious funny scene or a very emotional sad part. You know something is going to happen when you here the BG music play.

Art:

Not much to say bout the art. The art is just brilliant with beautiful colors, the animation is just spectacular.

Enjoyment:

You will definitely enjoy this series, it starts out kind of slow during the first few episodes but after you watch through a few of the episodes and get to understand the plot, you will be hooked, take my word for it. The first time i watched this series from beginning to end. I watched it all in just two days, stayed up late and kept watching it. I actually worked in the morning during this time and I tried to put the series away, but then i just kept watching it. I should of called in sick that day lol.

Overall:

This is a great anime to own and worth your time. However, this anime might not be suitable for audiences who are sensitive towards their religion as they might find it disturbing. It does deal with a bit of Christianity, if this doesn't bother you, then you have nothing to worry bout. I would recommend Chrno Crusade to anyone and looking for something different. This series is kind of similar to hellsing in away in that deals with demons and satanic rituals. I have watched alot of Demon type anime's to name a few, hellsing, Dn Angel, Devil Lady. Other series just don't catch my attention as much as this anime does. The characters are so lovable and memorable, seriously after finishing this anime because of the sad ending, its quite hard to just go right to another series and start watching it. I hope you guys and girls out there would enjoy this series as much as I did.

10/10
