Having read your posts, I dug up with some precious stuff. As I also watched the end, this is my most likely assumption.
First, all of you must look into the etymology of Aion's name. Having made a research for the word, 'Aion', I came up with the following definition: Aion : An era or age of an indefinite time period having a clear beginning and end. The Hebrew word, Olam, is the exact equivalent to meaning for the word Aion. The problem with this definition was that at some time, scholars incorrectly translated its meaning from the Bible. They came up that aion meant 'forever' or 'everlasting', and later on they corrected it with the meaning 'age' or 'age-lasting'. Therefore, the latter meaning implies that nothing is forever when one age goes and another one comes. The following excerpt has been referenced from, "When For Ever Does Not Means For Ever" Quote:

They can't possibly have a second season because well...
Spoiler:
oh and for the whole Aion is god's disciple or something like that, i'm not sure that would be possible, because through the whole series he's going off, saying that there isn't a god. So i don't think he could be his god's servant if he didn't even believe that there was a god... anyway my opinion... Spoiler:

Aion is not God. As I said before he is probably the devil. Devil does acknowledge the existance of God, whether he thinks highly of him is another thing.
Aion did say he is a shadow of God that has overflow or something of that sort. God's shadow probably means the devil right? Now saying God shadow that has overflow would probably be talking about the devil's arrogance. Hum at least that's how I see it. |

I don't think a prequel is suitable.
Simply put, episodes 15 and 21 narrated Chrno's past from the Pandemonium Incident and his relationship with Magdalena. I think those episodes served very well their purpose and didn't left any ties on the loose about Chrno's past. However, if you're still hungry to know more about Chrno, then I suggest to buy and read the manga. Due that it has more rich explanation and embellishing storytelling. I don't think most of you are aware, but Moriyama-san published a short while ago a short manga story within the Chrno Crusade universe. According to Moriyama-san, this story takes place about the time of Rosette's first mission. (She doesn't look as the trademark Rosette from the anime or manga, though) I think this story takes place a couple of years before the begining of both anime or manga. Rosette's still an amateur under the tutorship of Remington; Chrno's with her. Her first mission deals about investigating paranormal phenomena in old mansion, supposedly haunted. I think they said that the previous owner was a devil worshipper who mysteriously vanished. So a crybaby, novice Sister Rosette is commissioned to investigate the strange happenings bound to that old mansion (Sounds cliché, isn't it) If you're asking for a prequel, I think this manga story might serve your needs for it. |

Okay, I haven't read ALL posts, but at least some of them.
I really liked the ending, and considering that I hated this anime during the first two episodes, I was pleasantly surprised. (I think it is pretty useless to use spoiler tags now, since all the people here have already seen the episode and there isn't much left to spoil. :P) I disagree with the theory of Aion being God. The word aion means the same as aeon, which in turn means era. Remington nagged a lot about the era in the episode 23 preview (in ep. 22). Here's what he said (according to the sub I will not mention): Quote:
So, by era, I think he means Aion. Not only that... Chrno's name (which actually should be Chrono), means time, right? So that might have something to do with it. Aion's horns: Move time Chrno's horns: Freeze time I also believe that Aion is supposed to represent the Devil. And in this case, the Devil can move time. I could also conclude that Chrno is God, since the Devil moves time, there should be an equivalent on the light side, Chrno freezes time. The only time one needs to freeze time, is when one wants to observe something. The one who always observes and never interferes is... you guessed it! God! So, the Devil is breaking the "law" of interference, but God never does. But I'm not saying that Chrno IS God, it was just a theory... just as the theory of Aion being God. And here's an interesting link for all you Aion-lovers and people who are interested in the theological point of view: http://www.godstruthfortoday.org/Lib...eous/allin.htm (LOL, I found it by Googling "Aion" :P) I like anime shows that allows one to think. And they've done A LOT of research for this anime, just as they have done to FMA. Chrno Crusade turned out to be really good! |

Well, now I think about it, isn't Chrno Crusade's ending quite good in some sense? It not only provides a beautiful and emotional scene, but also let people to think over it for some time, so we can have all this discussion here instead of people just coming in to say "what a nice ending/beautiful death scene/etc/etc" but not much else? |
