I find Chrno Crusade anime quite good. Without comparing the anime to the manga
(which in most cases it's not as good because of the condensation factor), it's
very well done.
The animation staff have adopted lots of subtle CG effects that is trademark of
gonzo, and the music (by Nanase Hikaru) is a perfect blend for imaging the manga
and the anime set.
With a mixture of action, love, conflict and crisis all blended in a twisted
foundation of the plot, I dare say this anime stands out among many original
series.
One of the irony thing about buying AOSTs is the fact that they are both
expensive, and difficult to treat it as your average pop or any regular music
CD.
I've had such a problem for quite a while when buying anime soundtracks from the
local store. More than often my favourite soundtrack has arrived, and picking
it up then listen to it on the bus pulls you into a whole new dimension which
makes you think: "so what am I doing with a CD having Mahoro's face slap
bang on the cover?" And everyone is looking at you from the corner of
their eyes.
So live it and face it, it's a many sided thing about owning anime OSTs - you
like them and download them... you prefer the actual genuine CD because you
love it too much... there are people out there drooling at your ownership of an
album... and strangers may look at you in disbelief when they don't understand
what an otaku is =p
I used to be in the same situation as RainOfStars until the money starts
building up thanks to little bit of savings here and there.
It all started with a couple of OSTs which I'm dying to get (i.e. Ah! My Goddess
OVA OST Plus Series). Ever since, I've been hooked with buying an album every
now and then.
The result? Well I've got a shelf full of AOSTs, and I'm sometimes proud to see
this little collection, too. Part of my pride is because they're all original
non pirated soundtracks.
I won't list what I have because that'll be time consuning.
As for my digital AOST collection.... well I'll pass on that.
Pedophilia is right (or "acceptable") if you respect the subject or
anyone who is involved. Of course, one might tend to not understand the effects
of their behaviour, but as long as it is for personal imagination and without
harming others' feelings, I suppose it's all right.

Just don't make a show of it that's all.
