What the hell too early for coco's death well nothings new for the sunrise a lovable character should die who's next.

Goes to show they spare noone who is a Norma. And well.. Angelise better learn fast that her existence ... is not all rainbows and unicorns.
Man Angelise is gonna have some real PTSD though. Coco was her only "friend"..ish...thing-fan?





I wonder if Coco's friend hates Angelise's guts now though, basically leading her death

People are really ripping into this. Yeah it's not precisely Citizen Kane. This show is pure T&A and gore and that's fine with me. I expect about half that cast to be dead before the end and a whole lot more completely unnecesary nudity before the end. That's the kind of show it is. There's just a whole section of the MAL audience now that want everything to be pure and wholesome girls drinking tea and saying "oishii"


LOOL!! "Oishii"! :)

Holy shit the first episode was boring as hell, so this really surprised me. I was already thinking about dropping this show after the second episode but this restored my faith. This isn't nearly as good as MLA but it's still enjoyable and that's enough for me.

Again...Yuri is about romance between girls, not one girl raping another.
And a male interest romantic will appear soon. This is not yuri, it's fanservice...like those girl on girl scenes on harem series like To Loveru.

the new episode of Cross Ange: Rondo of Angels and Dragons. Man Ange is so stuck up and that shows at the end of the episode when they are entering into battle. she needs to learn her position is not going to change.

at the end of the episode i was loling at Ange because of her getting coco killed even though it was not ange's fault entirely i mean coco got lazered in two be the dragon. But man it was a bitch move for ange to pull off and head home leaving everyone to fight that is not going to help her get rep by Norma's

This episode still wasn't bad. But the yuri in this show is a little much. I don't mind yuri, but the way its handled is more unsettling than anything.

But I want to learn more about the other characters. I feel like we are now getting into the major form of the series.

Not really sure what to think of this series just yet. It deals with some pretty grim material and themes, but the "next episode previews" (the audio of which is really current-episode commentaries) seem almost comedic... except that when they talk about how horrible the portrayed events were, I'm nodding in agreement.

I certainly hope it won't be another Valverave.

I'm one of the few people here who does not hate Ange. Her behavior is perfectly normal, if you ask me. She was obviously raised in a very sheltered home, so sheltered that she doesn't know how to put on her own clothes, and that blatantly discriminating people over something they have no control of is OK. It's only normal for her to not know how to behave in this situation; the change is too sudden. For people living such a nice and sheltered life, getting exposed suddenly to how ugly the real world is can very well feel like being raped. I like Ange, and I have high hopes for this show so far.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

At least,its better than Glasslip,for now.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

wtf people think this is more of a trainwreck than Mahouka?

I would respectfully disagree. The character design, animation is above and beyond what Madhouse did with Mahouka.

You may hate Ange's personality, but at least she has one lol. There's already an indication that she will go through some drastic character development unlike almighty autistic robot-kun aka Tatsuya.

Not that it's a defense but I find it funny that when you have lesbian sex scenes in shows like Monogatari or Prisma/Ilya just coming in largely out of nowhere it's considered not only 100% okay but incredibly desirable and praiseworthy but when it happens here the creators are awful awful horrible people. It just looks like a pretty brutal double standard at play.


Yeah there is a lot of hypocrisy with people when it come to this show.
Like criticizing this anime for sexual violence when you give Helsling Ultimate and Berserk a 9/10. Alacard rapes a woman with her gun! Tell me that scene wasn't meant to be sexual.

monogatari series that everyone loves has child molestation comedy.

Also I don't know if people know this but Fate/stay night was original a hentai game with rape.
Fate/Zero Manga and novel was penis monsters raping Sakura Matou as a child.

Before criticizing you should look at what you like first.


Agree. A lot of very popular stuff like SAO can be incredibly sexist (Asuna in a cage, Sinon almost raped...but of course both saved by supermacho Kirito) but for some reason some series set a a group of people off like this one. I think that as long as its not as "graphic" then they don't complain.

Yep! A female protagonist like Ange feel's rather refreshing. I always find it interesting to see what she'll do next,how she'll treat others,etc. I find the anime to be somewhat above average in it's other aspects but if Ange's character development is handled well,it'll be a big plus and so far so good in that regard.

So if you didn't think it was quite rape in the first episode, let's put literal attempted rape in the next one. Go team! ¯(ツ)/¯

It just looks like a pretty brutal double standard at play.

I mean, there's also the question of tone. Those shows are very light hearted and comedic from the start. Cross Ange tries to be dead serious, and then all of a sudden goes "Hey, don't you want to be aroused too?" The way the story feels reminds me a lot of Psycho-Pass, but where Psycho-Pass took itself seriously all the way and was made with dignity, this was made with boobs. It's dumb.

If i'm gonna get into this, i actually like the story so far. It's exciting and the character interactions are kind of interesting and it moves at a comfortable pace. I don't mind Ange being an idiot. It makes sense for her to be an idiot right now. Her whole world was just toppled over and she watched her mom die. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me (besides the nudity) is why this supposedly perfect, magical world is so racist. Even the royal family tried to protect their daughter from the unfair rules. Is there really no "let's not send normas to guantanamo for no reason at all"-movement?

It's a world where everything works by magic, and Norma destroy this magic and are unable to use it. Everyone has been brought up believing Norma are monstrosities. Even if we discard the ridiculous belief that all Norma are violent antisocial bastards, the mere fact that they destroy what is unilaterally seen as the basis of the current peaceful society leaves even for the nicest people little choice than to see them as a threat that needs to be isolated. At least they aren't killed outright, although it's also clear why - the peaceful society can only live in peace if someone protects them from the DRAGONs, and clearly they are not willing or able to do so themselves.

The humiliation and abuse wasn't that bad this episode but judging from what happened at the ending next week should be bad.
It's clear that the commander was expecting something to happen when she send them out tho judging from her looks she the fact that she showed some surprise suggests she wasn't expecting it to happen so early.
What also strikes out if that she is keeping the ring.
Which makes me wonder about the reason seeing as money is very valuable where they are and that ring is probably worth a lot, she most have some intention with it.

Angy still doesn't seem to realise her situation for the most part, she has trouble excepting that she is a Norma but what she really doesn't realise yet is her brothers betrayal.
She doesn't seem to realise that her brother sold her out killed her mother and took over the throne from her father she is still in denial about all that.
Not willing to believe that she won't be excepted back by the current ruler her brother, that's if his coup succeeded.

Then there are the other girls who also seem to have there problems with her tho most of it seems to be just the new member parts and the difference in origin.
But some of it seems to be jealousy in particular the red haired girl and the orange haired girl seem to see her as a thread to their love life with the leader of their unit.
Which brings me immediately to the next problem their leader seems to be a pretty fierce predator when it comes to her sex partners.
And the higher ups are aware of this and even cooperate by lending her a room.
And the knew what would have happened is the alarm didn't go off.

I don't know anything about Monogatari, but apparently you don't know anything about Illya. There hasn't been a single lesbian sex scene. Some ecchi at most. And it is all kind and caring. But somehow in your brain lesbian sex (that does not exist in Illya) is equal to prison rape.

And saying that lesbian sex (that has not happened - I'm saying it again so you could actually understand) in Illya came out of nowhere while the girls have been bonding all the time...

Horrible writing, absolutely cliche plot - generic male hero comes and saves the poor damsel in distress from those horrible prison lesbians and she sucks his manly cock for gratitude! Bland and overdone.
But probably fitting for kids who can't even understand difference between rape and sex... and think that their little show also not liked because horrible writing. Yeah.

This is in my opinion is one of the best if the not best mecha in this year. It combines nudity, sex fanservice, gore and serious story all in one anime. It is entertaining from start to finish, and I never got bored even for a second.

I never expected someone would be killed brutality in this anime. Thats was big surprise to me at the end.

LOL. Thats makes it even better. I add more points for that.

Seriously most people here have bad taste. People here want anime to be less shocking, less gory, less rapey. Without these stuff the anime is going to be less enjoyable.
