ZeroDegress' Chrno Crusade Tv Review

Chrno Crusade

Chrno Crusade tv Review

8 volume manga (1998-2004), Daisuke Moriyama
24 TV episodes, Gonzo (2004)

Brooklyn, 1924. The prosperity of the decade has summoned the darker forces of nature to rise from their sleep and back to the surface of the world. The Order of Magdala, a religious military organization, has developed special weaponry and trained forces of nuns and priests to battle this evil. Follow Rosette Christopher, a young rambunctious exorcist, and her partner Chrno, a hornless demon, as they wade through hordes of monsters and demons, fighting evil and risking life and limb. Not to mention excessive damage to real estate.

Story & Characters

I gave this plot a 8,because it is truely original.The plot takes place in 1924 in New York:Broklyn.Shortly after the "great war" also known as the roaring twenties.The Madgalan Order [a church with a military flair to it] Uses special weaponary and the holy blessings of the order itself to use against the demonic forces that threaten the city.Rosette Christopher one of the sisters in the order and her faithful assistant Chrno,a demon himself are the main focal point of the series.Rosette has a watch of time around her neck,that when opened allows Chrno to transform into his Demon state and use his powers.However it is called a watch of time for a reason,due to the fact that Chrno's powers are tied to Rosette's soul.I found this plot very very captivating,along the way the series you will learn of other characters such as Sister Kate [the head nun in the main order's face] Reverend Remmington [another big shot] Then there is one of my favs,Satella Harvenhiet [I know I spelled her last name wrong] who is a "Jewel Witch" and the pure little Azmaria :) The plot is very intriging and very captivating almost addictive,with much much religous tones and enough comedy to suit all ages :D

Rating: 8

Art

I gave the art a 7,I did like the artwork alot the visual effects for the fights and for just plain anything was well done but I think they could have done better in my view.I like how they did the demon effects such as use of powers blood etc etc,very nicely done along with the teardrops the sunlight even down to the vcoluptious female forms :D even the viens on a body are shown good [to me atleast] very well done and the character figures were for once in a anime DIFFERENT! not this bullsh!t copy and paste face stuff all other animes do [sooooo weak] tbu this anime very well done with visual styles greatly done :D

Rating: 7

Sound

Sound was good the music and OST were done nicely I like the jap voices better then any dubbing I hate HATE dubbing sooooo much,it takes away from the emotions of the voice actors.I love the music effects though like the spine tingling it added PERFECT suspense to scenes.Perfect fear even romance it was all sweet.I loved how the creaks in the floorboard happened when someone walked over them it was cool,and the mystical music chants,even the blood curdling screams sounded better then normal :D lol I really did enjoy the music however I thought it could have been tweaked to a better pitch for certain things and especially the voice for some members of the cast,but there wasnt really anything BAD to it just some room for improvment you know?

Presentation

The re-watching value of this is high for me which is why I gave it a 9 and I laughed my ass off many times it does have alot of humor for a religous anime.As I said the originality is very good I barely seen any animes in the 20's [like ever] I really enjoyed watching this anime the first time I am currently re-watching it and it even better this time round :D What I really loved about this is the religous quotes by various characters,such as Aion [you'll see] and hwo they traslate the from the texts and chapters from the bible is superb and contraversial I loved it.I thought they way that they took real life prohices and saints and converted them into the anime was MASTERFUL and done with the best of care and regard for the religous followers watching,however they also made ALOT of intersting stuff that gave that wanting of someone to die in the series lol.Aion [the main baddie] quotes the bible MANY MANY times and it does tend to how do you say [piss you off] because someone as evil and dispicable as he is quoting the words of God and his followers but I think it is awesome that they had the guts to make him do that and make it work so well for the plot :D

  12. SharinganKnight Sep 27, 2005

    didn't like it very much, and the art is much lower than a 7, but because Im an artist myself I bring things to myself that the average watcher wouldn't be able to see, so I guess its fine. Theres more to story than originality, and this one was very vauge, also it felt dragging which made the ending feel hastened. Over all not a bad series, but not very entertaining. Fair review dude.

  13. ZeroDegress Sep 27, 2005

    I loved the series >_< and thats what counts lol :D trust me guys you must see this series it is a requirment lol >_< :P

  15. SebastianvonKane Sep 28, 2005

    HEHEHE
    Looks like everyone in here loved Chrono Crusade. I actually didn't.
    The plot is original, that's right, but it is not intriging.. Tthere are some chapters where problems seem to pop from unknown places, and in the same unknown way, they're gone. Is awful the way they tried to mix comedy with drama. The music, avoiding the OP and ED, is also, non great. And the ending, avoiding the tragical event between C and RC, is way better.
    Sorry. But even when is a new concept, it dissapointed me. Not even worth the DVD's.
