What's this I'm feeling? Fear? Yeah, cos I'm in love with a GONZO production. Like a moth drawn to a flame, I know there's a huge chance I'm headed for despair/disappointment and LCD head-butting. But I'm willing to risk my head (and my LCD screen) for that slim chance that this series will finish its run respectably. In typical GONZO fashion, the series has yet again started very very well. Good character development interwined with some plot movement. Great character design, humourous antics aplenty and fantastic CG animation. I have already taken to Rosette so much. Blonde, blue-eye and very boisterous. Pacifica Casull? (Scrapped Princess). Indeed I really do like Chrno Crusade. But I also know better. GONZO's uncanny ability to self-destruct a very promising anime is legendary. Hellsing, Kiddy Grade and Saikano comes to mind. To be fair, their latest production, LASTexile was quite good though it also suffered from pacing problems. I guess GONZO is a studio I love to hate. I know that they are capable of really good stuff and I have seen it in Full Metal Panic! and snatches of it in their various works. Somehow they just seem to lack the steam to finish the race. I understand Chrno Crusade is 13 ep and I am hoping they have the stamina to end well with a shorter series.
