Chrono Crusade Episode 07
"The Devil"
I love the little character design details they added to Rosette to separate her from the other nuns. The most visible difference is the fact that she has long slits on the sides of her skirt, which immediately makes her stand out (and also provides possibilities for fanservice, which I guess is the other point of it).
In this episode, we get to see a lot of the stuff that makes me like this show: namely, the brothers and sisters of the Magdalan Order killing demons, zombies and other evil things with tommy guns, pistols and other weapons of the period. It's all good fun.
Then you've also got the reapparance of Aion, who appears to be more than a match for our heroes, as Rosette was forced to resort to opening up the hourglass for Chrno.
This episode seemed to show a little bit more of the show's overall story arc, but it was still a little light on plot movement. However, I think the show's a lot of fun to watch, just for the setting and characters.
Rating: A-
Posted by Kei at September 14, 2004 12:31 AMYeah the anime is good so far but i died a little after finishing the series. The ending is sad and pisses me off. I hear the manga is better so maybe after reading that I'll feel a little better.
Oh, for you fanatics who are just waiting to explode at anything contrary to what you believe about other people's opinions, I'm not saying this is a bad anime. I liked it, but I just wish some things in the anime were different.
