I just finished watching Chrno Crusade. Man... I'm not even sure how I feel about it. Ask me yesterday and I would have gone on about the awesome and how much I love Aion (he's no Aizen, but damn I've got to love a guy who manages to steal a kiss from darn near every major character [and a couple minor ones] in the entire series).
Today... if it had just been 23 episodes, that would have been one thing. In fact, right where episode 23 ends, anyone else, any other series, would have ended. Episode 24... It wasn't a mistake to have it, I think, but... I just don't know what I feel yet. There's something just so sad and so helpless about the whole thing.
I don't think 24 was a mistake. That's all I think I can say.

He left without a word, but then she had always expected him to. His friends, his lovers, were saddened when he disappeared into exile with no farewells, but not surprises.
Unohana was surprised by how much she missed him. She knew why he had come to her. He was an outrageous, loud, mad scientist, Urahara-taichou. He was a sly, underhanded manipulator that even those who suspected could never quite pin down his exploitation or stop themselves from acting according to his plans (even Aizen only had so much compared to Kisuke).
Unohana was quiet, stillness. When they lay together, Unohana would hold Urahara in her arms, letting him have the only still, peaceful sleep he ever got.
Unohana didn’t love him, anymore than she loved any other of her patients.
But when Isane brought her the notice of Urahara’s charges and his disappearance and his exile, Unohana was surprised to find how much she missed him.
