Sister Rosette Christopher: No. Considering we were up all night on a mission, and they ask us to do the shopping on our way home. I'd say it's more than depressing, it's the absolute worst.
Azmaria Hendrick: [being tossed around in the back seat] I'm sorry, I said I could do it by myself.
Sister Rosette Christopher: What are you talking about? It was obvious to all of us that you couldn't do it alone!
Azmaria Hendrick: [the phone rings] Oh, the Phone! Whoah!
[falls down]
Chrono: Oh, are you all right, Azmaria?
Azmaria Hendrick: Yeah, I'm jake
Sister Rosette Christopher: You just stay put. ...

Trivia
The original concept of the series was an adventure story about a boy and a girl duo. It was to be set in the old west, but Moriyama decided to move it a little further ahead to take advantage of the technology of the '20s. See more »Goofs
At the end of "Apostles" Rosett does not have her veil on. But when we see her again in the next episode, she has it on. There is no reason why they would put it back on her if she was unconscious. See more »Quotes

Chrono is a demon gone bad, of course since good is bad for demons that makes him a good guy. Anyway, this good demon has made a contract with a nun, (of sorts), named Rosette. Together they fight evil, with machine guns and blessed bullets, while searching for Rosette's younger brother Joshua. Demons teamed up with nuns with guns is a fairly ridiculous premise to be sure, but there have been worse that made good. I am not a religious person in any way, but I am fascinated by religion and different beliefs so it's good material for me.
Technically, everything is good; great art, sound and animation. Character design is mostly the average big eyed, super cute deal which works for me. The demons, in their true forms, are sufficiently cool looking as well and the battle scenes are flashy and fun to watch There are a few things that just didn't really work for me. While the show is humorous, it sometimes feels inappropriate inserting somewhat crude jokes into otherwise dramatic scenes. That's not to say that is shouldn't have humor; I just think that it could have be handled better. Most of the humor is absent towards the end of the series anyway as it becomes increasingly serious.
The biggest problem for me has to be the characters. Characters, in my opinion, are the most important part of any show. However, aside from Chrono and Rosette and maybe the butler, I either didn't like or just didn't give a crap about any of the characters. They were simply not interesting and there was little to no character development for anyone besides the main two.
In the end everything wraps up fairly well and Chrono Crusade, despite its shortcomings, manages to be a bit above average. Nothing spectacular but it's worth watching.
