Chrono Crusade is a Japanese anime series that aired from 2003 to 2004. It is based on the manga series of the same name written by Daisuke Moriyama. Set in the 1920s, the story follows a duo of exorcists who fight against demons and other supernatural forces in New York City.

The main character is Sister Rosette Christopher (voiced by Yoshiko Okamoto), a young nun from the Magdalene Order. She is energetic, impulsive, and has a sharp tongue. Together with her partner, Chrono (voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue), a devil who has taken the form of a young man, they work to vanquish demons and to find Rosette's younger brother, Joshua, who was taken by demons years earlier.

The story takes place in an alternate version of the United States during the prohibition era, where religious organizations have gained significant power. The Magdalene Order is responsible for exorcising demons and has a significant presence in the city.

The show features a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique backstory and motivation. Azmaria Hendric (voiced by Tiffany Grant), a young girl with healing powers, is taken in by the Magdalene Order after being rescued from a demon. She quickly becomes close with Rosette and Chrono, and the trio embarks on a journey to find Joshua.

Another important character is Aion (voiced by Kazunari Tanaka), a devil who was once close to Chrono. He seeks to destroy the order and brings with him a group of powerful demons known as the Sinners. Aion's goals are shrouded in secrecy, and his true intentions are not revealed until later in the series.

Chrono Crusade also explores themes of friendship, family, and sacrifice. Rosette's devotion to finding her brother leads her to confront her past and make tough choices that put herself and her friends in danger. The relationship between Rosette and Chrono is also a major focus of the show. Despite being a devil, Chrono is fiercely loyal to Rosette and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect her.

The animation in Chrono Crusade is well-done, with detailed character designs and fluid action sequences. The show balances lighthearted moments with darker, more serious themes. The background music, composed by Hikaru Nanase, adds to the overall atmosphere of the show.

Overall, Chrono Crusade is a well-crafted anime series with memorable characters and an engaging plot. The show's exploration of religion and spirituality, along with its themes of love and sacrifice, make for a thought-provoking viewing experience.

Chrono Crusade is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (24 episodes). The series first aired on November 24, 2003.
