Description: To Cast Out Heaven… Aion’s plans have reached fulfillment and the thin blue line of the Magdalene Order is powerless to stop him. Will the ultimate plan of the Master of the Sinners reach fruition? All that remains to complete the overthrow of Heaven itself it is one final act of betrayal… a betrayal carried out by a Devil in a blue dress! The future of all Creation hangs in the balance in the final apocalyptic volume of CHRONO CRUSADE! DON’T MISS THE HIT GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM ADV MANGA!
HOLY WOMEN WALK WITH DEVILS Well, it's Hell on Earth for all of us mere mortals as Aion with a bewitched Rosette wanders the world healing people and driving mankind into enforcing justice, even if they have to murder those they find guilty of sin! The Magdalene Order is strangely relegated to the sidelines in the old "God doesn't interfere with Man, so He lets the Devil do it!" cliche. The whole thing becomes some sado-masochistic dream in which characters are dying left and right but don't worry, we're being tested like Job fatalism. Chrono and Azmaria desperately try to track down Rosette as Satella is locked in a battle with her older sister, whose memory was wiped by Aion.
Sad to say but Volume 7 of Chrono Crusade brings a series that started with a lot of laughter and entertainment to an end filled with sadness and overacting drama. Maybe to a Japanese audience this theme of making Man to suffer as a test is something new, but to Christians, it's all old hat. The humor from the first couple of Volumes is also sorely missed with this gloom and doom installment. And another sore point is Azmaria's singing which is supposed to be divine, but just sounds like poorly pronounced English by a Japanese singer. The saddest facet of this show is that it never was allowed to achieve its potential.
Barely watchable. This has always been a great series. Beautifully drawn with shades of grey. But the series you start watching is not what you end with. You are drawn in with some amusement as a demon hunting girl and her good-demon boyfriend exorcise ghosts,demons,etc. It's lighthearted with hints at the past and a missing brother. It's so good, you don't notice that the last DVDs are intense and humorless. The object is to defeat the demons and save Rossette's little brother, right? Well, no. This is a sad, mysterious tearjerker I was NOT expecting. Isn't there a rule that says most of the main characters have to live?? I suggest stopping the series after three DVDs before you are too involved in the story. I was disappointed. I give the first DVD 5 stars however.
A final farewell for Rosette Though Chrono Crusade for some people started off slow, it does pick up here in the end. Sadly we will say farewell to four characters, and the loss of the final two will bring you to tears.
If you have followed Chrono you will understand by what I mean when the contract has run its course.
And we fast forward to 1981... just briefly... and you wonder why she had to die...
Pull out your tissues! The final few episodes of Chrno Crusade will have you sobbing. Trust me. Get your tissues ready, people, because you are gonna need them. Of course, that's not to say that the ending isn't wonderful and sweet, because it is. This is the awesome finish to an awesome series, even if the English voices really suck. (Watch it in Japanese, it's way better!)
Also, be sure to read the books, because even though the anime is better, the books are also very good. The books are also a bit different from the anime, so you'd be smart to read them. ^_^
