Actually, AnimeNation's blog is incorrect, and ANN is correct in listing different episode counts for the different seasons. The first season's DVDs are listed as 4 2-episode DVD volumes: http://www.bin-kan.com/dvd.html So the final tally is First Season: 8 episodes on 4 DVDs Second Season: 4 episodes on 2 DVDs |

CCSYueh: I think I understand what you meant now. I don't think we were really disagreeing.
As a Christian, I didn't find the religious elements of Chrono Crusade offensive so much as I found them rediculous. All the same, as it's Japanese, the underlying philosophy is much more Eastern than Western. That's to be expected. But I think I'm less easily offended than some. |

This makes me happy and joyous and if Madman doesnt pick this up too I will be mad. >:
That aside, I'm a Christian, and I LOVE Chrono Crusade. I never found it offensive in the least...in fact, I always find religious imagery in anime/manga cool. I'm all, "Check it out, this nun kicks ass!" I dont really see reason to get offended unless the characters start going 'Yo, Jesus was a prick' and end up making that the focus or something... and I haven't exactly come across anything like that as far as I know of. Maybe it's just me? |

I've PIRU never watched Dokuro-Chan, and don't think I will. However, I have a PIRU problem, in that I watched the oPIRUning, and can't get it out of my PIRU!
Pi-piru-piru-piru-pipiru-pi! |

More like 1 million (grand-?) kids and decimated genetic dispersion within three generations if I recall. |

I was watching it for Koyasu, but yeah, it was something about the gene pool issue & she was supposed to inject him with something to kill that super playboy potential (geek for life) The Japanese have that whole Devilman identify with the devils & it doesn't seem uncommon for the angels to be unbending monsters (Bastard, Judas, Earthian). I swear it like they're sitting there listening to the missionaries explain Christianity & latching on to the worst elements of it. For me the biggest selling point of Christianity (I'm agnostic) is love & forgiveness, but I see more the Christian God is a killjoy & the Devil is the one who has man's best interest in mind in anime. I had issues with the whole backstory between Aion & Chrono. Something about whacking off someone's head--I I just turned off--ok, god as no fun mode again. I also was a bit amazed the anime managed to sneak fan service into a pretty major dramatic moment (a version of comic relief? It'd be wrong to make one laugh, so look at nun undies?) Not that I hated the story, I just have come to accept animators are latching on to totally different things than a lot of Christians about Christianity. |

You know, at that comment, I just kind of left it alone. I can't tell any longer if that guy is joking or not. Obviously, a lot of things that use Christian references tend to do so in a potentially offensive manner. I doubt that's how it's intended though. To non-Christians, it's just "hey, this is neat, let's play it up by doing this or that". A lot of anime is very fantasy heavy. It's only logical writers would take their cues from anything different or weird or quirky. I sometimes wish they wouldn't in this case but that is really up to the writers and the market. Most of the harmless things out there I just chalk up as being "kind of tacky". I mean, no harm is usually ment. Some of it can be downright offensive. I've never seen Chrono Crusade, but I know what it is. I hope no Christians are using this as a guideline for how they live their lives. It really isn't representative of Christianity. |

According to Sirabella's unintentionally vague comments on AoD, it seems Dokuro-chan is actually a Geneon license rescue....

As a Christian, I'll tell you that none of the Christians I know personally were offended by it. Like you say, it's just used as window dressing to make things more interesting in its particular fantasy setting.
Glad you recognize that. Now if only people would stop trying to read Christian or anti-Christian messages into Evangelion... |
