I usually hate space genre series, but I admit defeat on this one. I absolutely loved Stellvia, and I think that I enjoyed almost every single episode from start to finish.

From what I hear, this series was pretty hyped, but lots of people began to drop off the bandwagon as the episodes got unexpectedly stupid near the halfway mark. Fortunately, the pain begins to subside around episode 13, and Chrno Crusade finishes strong between 15 and 24. Anyone who stuck around till 15 was treated [...]
