Although I though the story was pretty unique, I found that most of it was highly predictable. If not that, it was a bit confusing. It almost seemed like the anime had skipped scenes, because it didn't have an easy flow to follow. It felt rather choppy to me at times. The superb ending to this anime was its saving grace.
ART (7)
Nothing special, but it was appealing visually. The art was not compelling, but it also wasn't cheaply or poorly done. It was solid animation.
SOUND (8)
Now... I watched the English dub. Many people would murder me for this, but I actually enjoy not having to read my shows every once in a while. I can focus more on the animation and action this way. I really loved the fact that accents were involved, mainly Satella's great German accent. I loved Chrono's voice actor as well. My only complaint is that Rosette's voice was pretty annoying.
CHARACTER (9)
Most of the characters were wonderful and developed. Although I simply could not stand Joshua. I became very bored and annoyed with scenes centered on him. Overall, seemed like a nearly useless character. I loved Chrono and Rosette, though. Satella topped as my favorite, hoever.
OVERALL (7)
Definitely a good anime. I would give it a 7.5 if I could. ALMOST an 8, if it weren't for the confusion I mentioned before. I'm really glad I stuck with this anime until the ending, because it was wonderfully executed. I would recommend Chrono Crusade.
