Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: The offbeat supernatural adventure Chrono Crusade takes place in 1928, when the hedonistic culture of Prohibition-era New York has fueled a rise in Satanism. Sister Rosette of the Magdalene Order is a klutzy, gun-toting exorcist-cum-devil-hunter who wrecks her period cars, blows up the wrong buildings, and generally adds to the headaches of her superiors. Her level-headed partner Chrono tries to rein her in and minimize the damage. He's a devil (literally), but he's bound to Rosette by psychological and magical ties. The supporting cast includes a lecherous inventor who peeks up Rosette's habit; handsome Father Remington; Azmaria, a mysteriously powerful girl who adores Rosette; and the formidable head of the Magdalene Order, Sister Kate (who doesn't shimmy).
Chrono Crusade was adapted from a long-running manga by Daisuke Moriyama, and its biggest weakness is the central character. Rosette is a screechy, clumsy comic heroine, but she and the Magdalene Order are all that's keeping the devil Aion from realizing his nefarious plot to remake the universe. Chrono Crusade feels like someone dropped Lina Inverse from Slayers into Hellsing: it's too dark to be funny, but too silly to take seriously. Although many anime series depict battles against devils and demons, the constant references to holy water, God, the Vatican, etc. in Chrono Crusade may offend religious viewers, especially Catholics. (Rated TV 14 V, suitable for ages 15 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, risqué humor, nudity, bizarre religious imagery) --Charles Solomon

This series starts off rough but by the 3rd or 4th episode it got my interest. The animation is well done for the most part. The action picks up after the history lesson, which was interesting as well- just sloow. So far the series isn't off to a bad start. I like when Anime settings venture away from the traditional Asian borders/ history. This one takes place in 1928 Prohibition-era New York. I like the animation of how the time period looked with cobblestone and such.

This series is not overly long but has enough length to make it worth watching over again. The story is great and the characters all keep you interested in the story. You never run out of new revelations about each character. I bought this and never looked back.

Even though it had a religous theme I didn't base my 5 star rating on that I did it on the char development and the moving seens in the anime itself. Im a sucker for anime that moves me and makes me feel the way the chars do. It was sad and the fight scenes are awesome as well, if your not into sad romance scenes or anything that deals with any type of serious emotions don't get it, its not for you. But if you like to be able to become one and feel the chars sadness then go for it. Besides Fruits ... Read More

I didn't see a lick of greatness when watching Chrono Crusade in the slightest. All I saw was an average anime with a religious theme(no doubt the reason it's rated so high). Taking itself way too serious at times but making it difficult for me to take it serious. Chrono Crusade suffers from bad pacing, barely developed characters, meaningless comedy, and filler episodes that doesn't add anything to the story. If not for the second half and ending. This series would be rubbish.
