    Actually, I saw it after I saw this thread and decided to check it out. Absolutely awesome. Two words: Demon fights. Schweet. :anime:

    Oh, and don't get me wrong, the plot is also very good. Quite a nice idea, and definitely original.

    I liked how it mixes both serious and funny moments in one.

    That, and the contrast of Azamaria and Rosette.

    This thread prompted me to watch something I had for the past couple of weeks. Good job! LOL.

    BTW: Rosette using the tommy gun looked friggin' awesome. Now that's a nun with guns!

    Hehe :p Atleast I got someone else to watch it.

    I agree way cool nun's with guns.

    I am a little mad that I have only seen up to episode number 5 though. I think there are 9 available. I cannot even get summaries on them because it is so new. What episodes are the rest of you at?

    My favorite character has to be Chrno. Then Rosette. Then Azamaria. I don't think I like the head nun that much. I am not to sure of the Priest. I think there is something funny there. I think he likes Rosette alot. And she may like him. The couple I want (even though it won't happen) is Chrno and Rosette. Who do the rest of you like?

    What does everyone think of the deal with Rosette brother? Why was him being alive kept from her. Remember I have not seen 4 episodes. :(

    I finished watching this anime today. I'd have to say its VERY well done. The story shocked me, it was such an original story and the ending wasn't happy, but it left me satisfied, since that's life. Because us humans are finite beings who cannot know what will happen next or know what has happened to someone after they are dead. I saw hope in this anime. And I'm satisfied knowing that the anime was really Remington's story (and on a shallow note: didn't he look hot with his hair growing out?).

    There's so much to talk about...

    Here's some info about Rosette's brother Joshua:

    Rosette and her brother grew up in an orphanage together because her parents are dead. Joshua somehow joins the bad side with the demon Aion. Now rosette joins the Magdalan Order to get her brother back.

    Here's a bit more information about Joshua:

    Joshua is a very frail person, even though an Apostle of God. Aion gave Joshua Chrno's horns, which made Joshua unstable, yet even more powerful. But he kept hearing voices (Chrno's voice probably calling his horns back) and needed his sister. Aion used Satella's sister Florette, now called 'Fiore' to replace Rosette for Joshua.
    Throughout the anime, Aion made it clear he needed Rosette for Joshua's health, but that really wasn't the true case. Remington was going to take Joshua to the Magdalan Order to take care and protect Joshua, but he was too late. He took Rosette and Chrno back with him to the Magdalan Order, probably New York branch.

    It's strange that they waited until 2000 to reveal the third prophecy. Considering that the assassination attempt took place in 1981, but really the prophecy still doesn't totally match up with what happened in 81. It's kind of freaky that the children were shown what hell is like, I always thought it was purgatory they were shown (maybe that was another Marian apparition)

    Here's more info on it: http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa070300a.htm

    I wonder how Chrno became a fallen angel. According to the story, all demons were once angels but a huge battle occurred led by Lucifer and many turned away from God. It would be cool if they made a prequel to Chrno Crusade on this ;)

    i watch the show faithfully. i think it's a relatively interesting series, and i love the plot. the art's lovely...the dubbings great, and the theme song...*thumbs up* really, i think it's a worth while anime to stick with. ismaria annoys me a bit though....the feelings she exudes....the guilt she places on herself...it's sometimes too much~_~

    Chrono Crusade

    Yes, another great anime in a box set that was released by ADV Films.

    Chrono Crusade is the story of young demon mysteroiusly to the beggining of the story known as "Sinner Chrono" (which is revealed later in the anime) and a sister of the Magdalene Order, Rossete Christopher.

    This anime is more into the story of God and the Devil, Demons and Angels. It sticks to most real life events back on 1910 and on (World War and such). Except there's demons and stuff.

    The Anime packs some great action, excellent animation, and a superb voice acting staff. However not the best, they make it preety belivable.

    Anyways, the point of this anime is that Chrono and Rossete are tied by a special bond. Since in the past, Chrono lost his horns (which are a Demon's source of power), Rossette made a pact with Chrono that would help keep him alive, but drain Rossette's life in the proccess.

    This anime is great, and comes in cheap now.

    To those that haven't watched it, you must. To those that watched it, what'd you guy think of it? Or maybe those that never watched it, what do you think of the outline for the story?

    I see that a bit hipocrital on the Magdalene order too. Also, the outfits. Rossete's in particular. Could she show more of her legs? Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing!^^

    Ever since she got the new outfit, the wind has been her enemy. I mean, seriously! Look at her! A gust of wind and the audience sees what kind of underwear she has. No one minds this however. I know i dont

    The story wasnt bad. In fact, it taught me a couple of things.

    Aion was completly bad***. The english dub voice fitted him nicely.

    Is it me, or does he look like sephiroth?

    Well, I reccomend Best Buy, if you want it straight from the factory, and don't trust the stuff from E-Bay (which there's nothing wrong with). It's only around 56 dollars on www.bestbuy.com (type Chrono Crusade, and if you need to, add "Box Set"). All 7 DVD's were shrunk down to 5 DVD's, with all 24 Episodes.
