And the final question is what is that hole that Remington sees in the place where the eagle has been cut???? So maybe that an ultimate aion will kick the ass of chrno??? After all if aion's horns are shining red at the episode's end it could be not over???? THE ULTIMATE GONZO'S SURPRISE FOR THIS BAD ANIME ADAPTATION OF MORYIAMA'S MANGA

I thought those were Chrnos horns and they're glowing because his power froze all those people originally. I can very easily see Chrno bringing back the frozen kids and those two dying and everything is conveniently wrapped up.

If they're bringing anyone back they're going to have a mission of it fitting it into one episodes and wrapping up past issues and sending Chrno and Rosette off happily... but only one more to find out.

I don't think the last episode is going to be talking and chit-chat conversational.

If anyone was wondering at 20:00 of this episode what Aion says is

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani

which is one of the 7 last words of Jesus, translated from the Aramaic as

Father, Father why have you forsaken me?

which is the starting line of Psalm 22.
Definition entry about this.

Just in case anyone couldn't pick that up from the katakana translation.

Me too, what happened. They fight for like 20 secs then Aion dies so easily. Maybe since Rosette released so much power for Chrno to use he just overwhelmed Aion. Too bad though I know most people are very disappointed about that, o well its too late to complain now. From ep24 preview looks like the series will wrap up quite nicely having everyone live happily ever after.

So what was Aion trying to do again? looked like he wanted to free everyone from the restrictions of hell and heaven and he wanted to use Rosette to control the people on earth to do that. I'm I right?

[dreamless]

I think he wanted to destroy the current world and rebuild a new one where he become the God of the new world... he wanted to free just himself, sacrificing everyone else...

i've spent the last 10 eps waiting for chrono to put on them horns and kick an extended period of ass....cant believe it climaxed like that. the first ep had more action.

Another GONZO bites the dust of sucky adaptation.

God forbid if they touch Fate/Stay Night.

don't panic, I think if Fate/Stay Night is going to get converted to anime (which is quite likely actually), it's most likely will be JC Staff I guess...

[webworm00]

I guess the main problem of this anime was trying to fit the story nicely into 24 episodes, given that the meeting between joshua - rosette occured in ep. 18...
i felt that the anime flowed nicely until then: if there were 30 eps, maybe the finale could be better potrayed.

they had too many sidetracks, like the one in ep. 16, and the christmas event in ep. 12. not that they are badly done or unnecessary (i happen to like ep. 12), but that leaves them to a rushed ending, given they only had 24 eps to fill in.

And yes aion's character screwing was completed with a 2 sec ending in ep. 23, best example of no time left

[Mikesmaf]

Aion is suppose to be all powerful.........wth? how did he die in 2 seconds..pretty homo fight...i'd say.

[Wong Sensei]

Hmmm....Huh...
Hey guy stop complaining around, can you guy any pity on me where I don't even know the true Manga storyline cause our region cannot import this series Manga due to the demonic factor

may be any of you guy have read the manga can post the storyline in this forum, how the Aion is dead and ending of Chrno and Rosette?

[Altimit]

Jeeze, whats with the lame deaths in this show, first Defaux (or whatever his name is) and now Aion and Chrno (Mabey). Mabey the last episode will be able to redemm the series, but I doubt it, espcially with GONZO's reputation. It's going to be a nonsensical "everyone lives happily ever after" type ending or a nonsensical "everyone dies" ending.

[xxjc1104xx]

The fight was too exaggerated... seriously, aion and chrno were about equal when they fought, but in this episode, chrno killed him so easily. and his curse over rosette was broken so easily too.. they rushed this too much..

[Erroll]

Nice to know the feeling is mutual about this ep. I expected Chrno and Aion to throw down like some mofos. If you blinked, you would have missed this fight. I hope the manga has a better ending than this. I'm not really expecting much from ep. 24. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not expecting much.

Gonzo is not all that bad, watch vandread.

Well if you actually paid attention to the Series... Chrono is the hundred million killer of his own kind which means he is the most powerful of all devils.. which in other words would require more energy from rosette..and a shocking concusion.. chronos horns = Stop time and Ainos horns = Speed up time.. and Since chrono got hit with it then rosettes life got taken away Very quickly since chrono just lived like almost all her life..seriously.. if your gonna flame stuff.. make sure you know the entire series..i would recommend just downloading the ending and watching it or just buying the collection..

[UltimaCloud]

also if you dont know.. gonzo has another anime thats kinda good =/ still debatable though because i havent seen the entire series.. its Called Samurai 7
