Its Sunday

Well first thanks for liking yesterday's story bit. I was worried it was a bit too long after I posted it.

Also The Incredibles. Very funny. Makes fun of spy movies, the 1950's and superheros. Very funny.

Now onto yesterday's shows. Yugioh was all right. I laughed when he called Yugi a cowboy. Mainly because that is what I was thinking. Rave is still going! (this long a continuation makes this once a week thing very annoying). Yu Yu was funny. Yusuke had the same thoughts my sister and I did. Fullmetal Alchemist... I knew what was going to happen in the beginning but man its still icky!! That show has the potential to be very icky. Well that's my opinion. Now I leave you with my sorta review of Chrono Crusade. ^^

DVD-
done by Gonzo
total episdoes 26 (I think)
1st dvd- 4 episodes
many episodes summarized in past Newtypes

Manga-
released by ADV Manga
7 books (I pretty sure)

General Summary- A nun named Sister Rosette Christopher is a member of the Magadiline Order. A holy order which functions as exoricts. They work with the goverment across the United States. The time period of the show is the 1920's. The time of the around the great depression and the Salom Witch Trails. Big debut in the order is Rosette's partner the fallen demon Chrono (or Chrno depending on which spelling you want). Chrono is soul bound to Rosette. He may only use his full powers if she releases the seal. The seal is represented by the watch she has around her neck. But the more he uses his power the shorter her life span will be. Rosette and Chrono are working together to save her brother Joshua. Joshua was taken by Airon when he was offered Chrono's horns. Now Joshua has not been seen for seven years.

My thoughts-
Both teach you the basic things you need to know quickly enough without making it boring. Character design carries pretty well between the manga and the show. But I don't like the show. The show varies greatly from the manga plot greatly after the first dvd. And the first dvd is not that close either. The characters develop differently and the ending is changed. Personnelly I don't think the story is handled as well in the anime. The order/pacing is confusing in the show. And they skip the funny things in the manga. I have even heard that the animation quality went down as the show went along. Though I do like the music. (Rumor is the first half is more comedy like and the second goes dark.) You do get to see transformed Chrono in the first dvd. (I yelled kiss my six pack when he changed^^)

If you are looking for character development (characters you can feel for) and good story telling I'd vote for the manga.

If you just want some fan service and nice 3d work (or just to see the characters animated) go anime. The previews are funny.
