"I think that Chrono has the potential to be a very good action/comedy. Though the action is great and there are some very dramatic moments(episode 7) some of the comedy can get in the way of of the more serious aspect of the show. In some cases, a comic moment happens out of no-where, which left me trying to still wrap my brain around the serious parts the action.
The voice actors are in general very good. Chrono is played very well by both English and Japanese VAs. Rosette's English actor, Hilary Haag, has some trouble with the more emotional aspects of the character, but she does get better with each episode. All of the supporting cast does an excellent job, especially the hard Sister Kate and the silky voiced Father Remington.
All in all the only problems are the comedic interuptions and some of the voice acting. Other than that, the animation is excellent, the city-scapes of New York are awesome. The religious tones are neat as well, they add a depth to the story that goes beyond the action and the comedy. I look forward to more nuns, guns, and demons."

"Chrono Crusade: Vol. 2: Holy War contains episodes five through eight of the series where a spunky nun and a demon battle the forces of evil in decadent 1920's Manhattan. In these episodes, the shy Azmaria Hendric decides she wants to be a demon hunter like Rosette. In the first episode on the DVD, Azmaria is trapped in the exorcist training grounds with a mind eater on the loose.
In episode six, a beautiful German Jewel Witch reluctantly assists Rosette and Chrono, as would-be demon smugglers unwittingly unleash demons on the citizens of New York. The witch is flabbergasted that The Sacred Order has a demon in it's ranks. The witch's power is cool; she uses birthstones to call forth a variety of powers. Here we see the Emerald of May and the Amethyst of February.
Next, the powerful, suave, evil, Aion comes to take Azmaria in his clutches. Rosette goes into shock as he taunts her about her lost younger brother Joshua. Aion grabs the helpless Rosette and holds her in a vile kiss.
Extras include Azmaria's Classes, original TV openings for all episodes, and Chrono Crusade Chronicles."
