Working on a project could be really frustrating. Especially when you're associates aren't really helping out a lot, running in and out of the room look for this and that. So to ease my troubled mind, I needed to take a break for a while.
It was aroun 10.30pm and I was doing my project in my friend's apartment. Apparently, this guy (like every other guy in MMU except me) is filthy rich and his small little room is powered with one heckofva machine filled with lots of cool stuffs that he downloads from his Streamyx (damn you tmnet!!). Anyway, I came to know that he has the whole collection of the Chrno Crusade anime and since it was my 'break', I decided to follow the story where I left off.
Chrno Crusade revolves around the life of Rosette Christopher, a teenage nun who is a professional exorcist from the Magdala Monastery, and her best friend Chrno - a demon. The story takes place in the year 1920 in the United States of America. Paid to exterminate demons, Chrno and Sister Rosette are part of the Magdala Monastery's militia. They travel between various places to prevent demons from taking possession and haunting various things that come from outside the U.S.A.
Their journey is mainly about Rosette's missing brother, Joshua who was taken by a demon known as Aion. What's more interesting is the relationship between these 3 characters, Rosette, Chrno, and Joshua. I can only explain briefly. You guys have to watch the show to understand the whole story yourself. Chrno, demon who has turn to the good side after he killed more than a million of his own 'kind' in Pandemonium (hell). Aion broke Chrno's horns off his head, thus leaving him powerless (their horns are their source of power). And with out power, he's as good as dead. Aion, is one mastermind who really needs help I tell ya. Knowing that Joshua is an Apostle (God's chosen people with great abilities), he seduces Joshua and gave him Chrno's horns. The only way for Chrno to use his powers is by making a 'Contract' with a human, the user's life-line or soul in exchange for Chrno's powers. To rescue Joshua, Rosette makes a Contract with Chrno and the symbol of their Contract, the Clock Of Life. Everytime Rosette unlocks the clock, Chrno gets his powers and Rosette's life shortens. What a sacrifice...
With that, they embark on a journey to search for Joshua alongside with other comrades. I muz say, the ending was soooooooo sad.(spoiler warning) After defeating Aion, Rosette and Chrno retreats to a place of solitude to spend whats left of her life with Chrno. Nearing the end, falls into Chrno's arms and cries shouting, "I don't want to die!!". Chrno couldn't say anything but only embrace her in his arms. Chrno could've live on, but he didn't want to live without Rosette, the person he loves. The scene ends focused on the Clock Of Life. As it stops ticking we see Rosette's head is on Chrno's shoulder. Eyes closed, they smile... the end
Sooo sad!!! Why all good animes have to end this way?!! It's not fair!! Kenshin, Chrno and Rosette, Vash. They all leave behind a sad memory! *sniff*
Enough of crap. I got to study now. Byez! hehe~
