The Villkiss red mode kinda looks and fights like Gundam Epyon from Gundam Wing and this is awesome!

The finale looks likely to be Embryo against Ange no matter what, I'm quite disappointed with the song though. Just when the recent episodes are picking up the pace, I thought the same would go for musics and the OP+ED did not delivered T.T With 25 episodes in this series, I'm not sure how much of that is focused on fanservice, just imagine if the series got rid 80% of it, wouldn't this be something? :D

villkiss very handy three color switch mode

OP1 is better than the new OP2 but! ED2 is OK!


Op2 is clearly trying to be epic saga sort that reflect the series' cross over time / dimension / matrix theme in the second half.

But it should suite more as ending instead of OP.

on the other hand, Recon-G's new OP is good!

I approve of these pairings. I hope this is a sign of things to come.


So long as Tusk gets his arse kicked away, I'm all for it. As a lover of MF/Harem pairings, Tusk to me is weirdly the odd one out in this show. He's unnecessary except as a plot device to have Ange have perverted things done to her, no more, no less. He's annoying as fuck to be brutally honest. There's more than enough heavy hentai elements, we don't need some Rito Mk. VII around to push the plot or even to provide fan service, and Ange definitely doesn't need him as a love interest, she already has her own friggin Harem.

Somehow I feel like Embryo denied Ange the satisfaction of killing her brother, and it doesn't sit well with me. I was so looking forward to seeing Ange torture that guys arse, maybe stick that shiny beam sword up his butt and have his entrails cook till well-done, before breaking every single bone on his fingers and arms, before slicing off bits and pieces of his face and feeding them to him...... the brother got himself an easy death, I disapprove so badly right now...

Oh and the changed OP and ED really need to have the animation changed as well. The new songs don't sit well with the old animation. I'm not feeling it.

That said, can't wait for the next episode. Hope Tusk trips on a landmine and blows his limbs off in the first few minutes. I don't wanna see any more of that crap how he "accidentally" trips and ends up with his D up her V or something like that. Seriously, no friggin' thank you!

yea...its better as ED since Mizuki Nana also sang the OP1 and ED2, they should invert it.

omg that DRAGON in the background reminds me of Kagutsuchi! Super epic!

I liked OP1 way better, but this new OP is pretty cool as well. I also really like the new ED. But I'm not really a fan of the recycling of the old animations :/

This episode kinda reminded me of NGE: the End of Evangelion


haha yessss Julio got destroyed. But Embryo is really weird. He's like a god of sorts because of all the power he has. Maybe he was one of those knights like Tusk in the past...but he seems a little too powerful to be in a "servant position" per se. Yo what's that creepy power where he can resurrect the dead though???

I wanna see the alien dragon princess girl again! The opening animation depicts her as an enemy but with the non-norma society as the bad guy now I have a feeling she and Ange will become allies.

Imo, this show is so underrated! I think it's really good!

i guess since singing is part of the plot, they managed to find a voice actress who herself is an accomplished singer, another princess also a rather fine singer, they had to audit a guy that can atleast sing something. So Seki must have pass the singing test to qualify on top of his gundam series voice over portfolio.

Great episode.

Yay, Julio is dead!

OP1 is better, both song and animation wise.

Just realized Embryo has the same VA as Rau Le Creuset.
Then we have someone who looks like Kira Yamato. It's gundam seed all over again! :D

Julio finally got what he deserved!!
I was expecting this from last episode and seeing it happen was nice.

Embryo planned this from the start he set up Julio so he would be killed at least that's my theory.
My guess is that Julio was send out to weaken to Norma and be killed in the process, since he mentioned creating the world anew he probably wants to get rid of the rotten apples first.
And weakening the Norma would have helped him with interference from them.
It also allows the Dragons to attack Human society which is probably part of his plan.

"You're just like that woman. Paranoid & drunk on fanciful ideas and a meaningless sense of duty. It be awful to be someone who gets killed over you people."

I couldn't help but really like Ange's little stab at Salia here. Not because I believe her sense of duty is meaningless but because it's so in-character for Ange to say something like that I'm thinking that If she does join Libertus, it won't be because she shares any ideals that Jill has(and certainly not because she likes her) but rather that she'd want to help out Hilda & other fellow normas.

Also, while Julio most certainly got what was coming to him, Ange unfortunately got cheated out of her sweet revenge. Embryo's such dick - a "just as planned" dick of course.

On another note, I found Embryo's singing a bit awkward. A fitting antagonist (?), though.

Possible though. So normas can be dragons? or just for royalty I suppose. Then their killing their race then?

Too much mecha combat for my liking. Ange being 1 man army killing lots of enemy soldiers in gun combat and destroying their entire navy piloting one mech is cliche.

Ange not being an exaggerated hero and not sparing the incapacitated enemy was pretty cool though. Then again, nothing about Ange's personality was ever exaggerated or idealistic.

Massacre stuff was intermediately executed, still pretty tame. In one scene soldiers were shooting down the trainees and they fell like dolls no begging screaming etc :/

hahaha XD couldn't stop laughing at the quality of headshots this episode. definitely not disappointing. and tusk is beast when he's not in yuki rito mode.

shout out to Sunrise for the dope ass extendable light saber, and Embryo's dope as para-mail. for a bishi he's got some cray destructive power.

seems next ep they get teleported to the "dragon" world.

I had a lot of expectations for this episode, are a bit disappointed, because the narrative a bit too rushed and too many changes occurred all at once.
Too many things in a short time and mismanaged, in summary.
The new openig is not bad, but the first seemed more catchy.
Level designs really mediocre this time, there is no need of BD.
The final episode was interesting and unexpected.

Amazing episode!!

The new OP is really good! It was slow and more tempo compared to the crazy fast paced Kidan no Resistance.

It does remind me of Fafner mixed with Evangelion. As expected from Yoko Takahashi!

Also while i was disappointed about the reuse opening. They won't be able to show the complete version till Episode 17(just posted just now)

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2015-01-19/new-cross-ange-opening-will-not-be-completed-until-episode-17/.83459

I'm glad the Jill started Libertus!! Now it's the perfect time to fight back against these pitiful humans.

Wow i thought they really killed Chris!! To be honest it's kinda cheap of them on how these Embryo guy can travel to multiple places as well as revive the dead. It's a slap in the face for those who really died in the battlefield like Zola and the others.

Wow so Villkiss can change colors from White to Red to Blue O___O

To be honest i didn't think about the red color being Zeta, but seeing that big sword, it's definitely Zeta's Awaken mode!

So Blue is the ability teleport ala 00 Gundam's disperse ability.

I thought red was the other Villkiss color? Does that mean it change colors as well?

I'm glad Ange's brother is finally dead. I wished Ange was the one that deliver the blow and not this Embryo guy.

And yeah Embryo has the same voiced as Rau Lu Creset/Rey Za Burell and Duo from Gundam Seed/Desrtiny/Wing respectively :P

Lol he can actually sing!!! So singing is the most powerful weapon in this series :P

And wow Embryo's machine has the same firepower as Villkiss!

The new ED is definitely great! It's much more up beat and fast paced compared to the old one(still amazing though!)

Lots of twists!! I can't wait for the next episode!!

Sunrise sure loves their bloodbaths. This keeps getting better and better, good riddance to Julio and I can only hope Sylvia will be joining him in time. Ange is full out brutal now. I had a feeling I'd seen Embryo somewhere before. A bishounen singer? That's a clever disguise, Mr. STARISH.

So confusing... so the mecha that Ange rides has several powers... apart from one power getting activated through a song, it has various powers that activate through emotion? Anger = red robot = shield and beam sword, sadness?/sorrow? = blue robot = teleportation skill.

This episode was crazy and intense! Dafuq is up with Embryo? Revives Chris and that girl, then kills Julio. Bwahaha, it was satisfying to watch him disintegrate.

Salia fell into the ocean? She still alive? :o And did Chris make it to the ship?
