Good video.. Also.. "I have forbidden myself all forms on fun until episode 24", you, not me. looking back on that, it must have been pretty hard, given all your difficulties. I hope you come out stronger for it all.

Crono and Company discover that maybe going south wasn't the most productive of directions to travel through the raging dust storm in their quest for batteries to put in Lucca's Gate Key. They do - however - have their first encounter with the much lauded Enertron, there's just some minor issues of comfort that have to be overlooked when the device is used. Afterwards, Crono finally acquires some much needed Ether... sweet-sweet Ether!

OTHER NEWS:
Sorry this episode wasn't out much sooner. At first my laptop became all but unusable, and by the time I got a replaccement laptop in March I realized that I had to crank up production on my novel (not Chrono Trigger related, completely original) if I wanted to get it published before cancer took my mom. Anyways, here's the much delayed episode... I hope to never have it be a whole year between episodes ever again (the last episode released December 7th, today is December 7th a year later).
By the way, be on the look-out for the casting call of DUB Episode 3 to show up soon!

"Let's get enertroned!"
Its been almost 2 years since this episode was released and still I wait for the next episode. Will this series also go into limbo like SplashKat's Final Fighting Fantasy Series and Alvin Earthworm's Super Mario Bros Z Series? I sure hope not.

No, I merely got lost between some bad decisions - my mom dying - and getting really sick a few times. Check my most recent journal entry, I am back on the production train and this time I have forbidden myself all forms on fun until episode 24 is done. Sorry for the massive delays.
I like Chrono's character, though its a bit too aggressive and angry most of the time. Lucca is my fav though haha, she's sarcastic and obsession with fire is adorable haha. Marle is a bit on the ignorant side but has her bright moments.
So far I've really enjoyed your eps.
This along with the Two Best Friends Let's play of Chrono Trigger have made me want to purchase them and see what inspired the inspiration that made these cartoons.
Anyway, I just watched all the eps in one go, I've noticed that its been quuiiite a while since your last update, did you guys stop making them or are you guys in a hiatus?
It'd be a shame because its a fun little series you guys had going. I wanted to see if Robo would start rapping like Gato, and then have Chrono say hell no and punch robo till it talked normally hahaha.
The enertroned joke was pretty good hahaha, I like how Marle was ignorant about Chrono's sword. XD

Hiatus is one way of putting it, I guess. It would be more appropriate to say that my mom died, I got really sick a few times in a row, and then stupidly tried to do way too much stuff at once until I kersploded. Also, discovering the crack know as Minecraft along the way really didn't help much either. Anyways, I am back on the case once more and have dedicated myself fully to the production of CTU-24!
Y'know I think it's been almost half a decade since I wrote a review for any type of flash on Newgrounds. It's been a very long time seeing this site again, and the one thing that made me want to come back was watching this series over again start to finish. This series is the only one I've tried to keep an eye on because of how awesome I think it is. I didn't even know you guys were still producing these episodes!
I really like how far you guys have come in terms of quality since the first episodes, but I'm not too keen on the voice acting...(Sorry ) but it's not the intro voice acting that gets me, it's the random out of place timing that just kinda makes the pacing of the flash seem strange, like 5mins of dialogue text and then... BAM! out of no where comes in the random 10sec voice acting, and then back to dialogue text again. It's not bad but it's still kinda odd for it to just come in and out like that out of the blue.
Other than that the characters are still as funny and sarcastic as ever! I see Chrono still hasn't gotten over his ether addiction, Lucca is still slightly conceited but trying to be positive about the horrible situations they get put through and Marle is as clueless about everything as usual. Still the best lesser known series on Newgrounds, hell I'd even go so far as to say that it is the best series on Newgrounds! The witty writing and funny yet strange scenarios you put the characters through are what really makes this series work.
Keep making these awesome episodes, it's too damn funny and awesome for you to stop now!

The reasons for never doing full voicing in the past were heavily based around never being able to find a stable cast of reliable people. I borrowed the idea of occasional voicing from a favorite game of mine "Skies of Arcadia". This move has unfortunately caused mixed results amongst the fan base.
My lack of decent actors might actually change greatly in the near future, but no promises.
Either way, I am extremely glad to hear that you have enjoyed CTU so much.
Finally: Fear not, for I didn't stop. CTU-24 is now live!
The series overall is great! I find it amuzing that Crono can talk instead of being 99% mute. There are parts i can agree with other posters that i dont like. but overall I throurally enjoy the experience of the series. I watched through this series a few years ago, and i was kind of suprised that its still going. Keep up the good work and hopefully in time more time and material will present itself.
