Favored namesake non-withstanding I found Chronos Ruler to be enjoyable despite it's short comings in character depth and plot. Let me begin by saying I absolutely love the music in this show and could watch it over and over again based on that facet alone. The Jazzy rifts in episode aren't like any other anime I've watched yet. The opening has it's hard edge but breaks down into the same jazzy notes and the ending is simply beautiful. I like the color palette used and for the most part the art overall is very good in my opinion. The fight scenes with cards are captured ... well not quite sure if they were pure cgi or not but they stood out in a good way.

The characters were all stock for the most part and some of the lines were pretty terrible with that said the story itself wasn't earth shattering either. The first episode left me on a cliff hanger that I thought would be built on a bit more substantially. The villains one after another come off as generic with their motivations. Some emotion is still elicited from their background stories at times so it's not all for naught. Their is a bit more character development near the end of the season and makes for some touching moments. The character interactions are filled with humor
at times and others make little sense.

I watched the dubbed version of this first and am currently viewing the subbed version, so if I feel there's a significant difference. Especially in some of the cliché lines I may update this. Overall though the music and animation made this worth the watch and I'm definitely seeking out this OST if it's ever available.

The finest of all of Netflix's original anime offerings in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of the reverse concept they use here with the "Sin's" being the protagonists against the evil religious regime so to speak. In this regard I found even more depth in the show. I love the music from the opening score to the battle themes, some of it is downright inspirational on par with that Naruto (though a much smaller sample size mind you). The show is a good blend of might of magic, comedy and perviness with some amazing fight scenes. Elizabeth is as cute as any heroine in ... anime and she seems in earnest to want to fight for her companions, I believe that she would die defending the sins as opposed to arbitrarily feeling she has to defend them (ie. Sakura). Demons, Knights, Giants and Faeries ! I'm mean this show packs so much into one season. I can't wait to see where Season 2 takes these characters!

I thought this was a fairly charming series, with vibrant colors and entertaining characters. Far more tasteful than similar shows in the same vein (Rosario + Vampire, Monster Misume). While there is a vampire it's not often that I see Dullachans/Headless Horsemen in anime's and that's a unique twist. The series seemed like a metaphor for understand and accepting people in society with disabilities and in that regard I think they knocked it out the park. A solid first season that I look forward to expansion on, not the normal style of anime I watch and still very enjoyable as I was able to get ... through the season in a only a few days. I watched the English dub on FUNimation and felt the voices all fit the characters well.
