the pleasure of watching Sky Girls, Gundam, QueensBlade, Harry Potter, Soukou no Strain all in a single series, and we got Nana singing multiple times in one episode^^

i disagree about that final scene is raping, they are all girls afterall...

Ahahaa, anal fisting.... 10/10.


Well not really... they just checked her anus for any stuff she would try smugglin (they check yar anus in prisons, been there done dat)

In any case, this episode, was very spectacular.
I love how there are only females in this anime.
Or men that look like females.
I am a human.

There's always an evil brother who wants to take off your crown huh? I felt sad when her mom died.
So, she was really raped there right?
I was thinking only girls would be in this anime, but I saw some guys in the op besides her brother.

Guys D: it wasn't rape! Chill out! Have ANY of you had a physical before?

Who am I kidding, that was clearly for titillation. Judging by the fact that only women can be Norma there's gonna be plenty of yuri fanservice...strangely as much as I dislike yuri as of lately, that isn't stopping me. In fact, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Judging by the the way Julio is caressing his little sister and saying they will 'rebuild' the family, there will be more controversial sexual themes.

I'm afraid we'll get the strike witches treatment in which the alien dragons have little to do with the series and it's more about the characters and relationships. Not to mention the outfits that the women wear leave little to the imagination. It's strange, two things I'm reminded of that I dislike and I can't see myself outright hating this anime.

I never watched SEED so I can't give this anime a 'copypasta' label. The I've seen the screen shot above that someone posted and was a bit intrigued.

4/5, I can't find much of a reason to dislike it personally.

That was actually pretty good, in my opinion. I like how her life got flipped over , and the discrimination theme too. The only thing I didn't really like was the cheesy opening sequence of fighting against those dragons..

Well it passed the first episode hurdle somehow, but that's more based on the fact that it was somewhat an introduction episode than anything else so I don't feel I'm giving it a fair chance to drop it just yet. Don't see it lasting, though.

And now we witness whether he will be the true successor of Jesus Yamato.
He's voiced by Setsuna? +50% chance!

If not for aggressive fan service, iritating characters, copying gundam seed elements, average soundtrack.... well, pretty much everything, then it would be a good anime ;)

I'll probably try one more episode, as dropping after intro would be rash, but as far as i can see it's not worth watching

It could have been just an examination, but they definitely implied rape when they showed blood coming from her private parts. With the heavy-handed themes and implied incest, this show it starting off on the wrong foot with me.

sexy flight-mode mecha transforms into normal mecha...

This could have been a really cool girly-mecha-dragon-action anime if not for the excessive service. Oh well, I'll still enjoy it if it keeps the pace. Seriously, that mecha in flight-mode... /drools

Wait... this is Sunrise? This near porn with lower than average quality animation (excluding mecha) is Sunrise? ... but... eh...

Literally the only reason I'm still watching this is for context when the SJWs rage.
plus the combat and animation isn't half bad.

But it is somewhat one-sided. I hoped that they would introduce something for the girls too - like robophilia or something (since they're already riding these things), but nope, pure male-oriented prison porn. Also the text after the credits is cringeworthy.

Not really sure.... I know that sunrise want to show how bad norma are treated but the way they show it doesn't feel right and too excessive. Interesting nonetheless though
And they need to explain what norma is in more detail

PHENOMENAL soundtrack and great animation. Aside from that, pretty okay. Definitely watchable and I see promise in this being an excellent series if done right. The soundtrack though is incredible; especially the opening theme.

I can see where the controversy for the scene at the end comes in and I entirely blame the fanservice for this. If there was no fanservice in the show, no one would interpret the final scene as "sexualized rape" - because there wasn't anything remotely sexual about it. But because there was very clear fanservice in the rest of the episode (way too fucking much of it, too), it's impossible not to see that scene as fanservice as well.

Don't care either way. People are taking it too seriously. All I care about is the mass amounts of fanservice having the potential to ruin what might be an excellent anime otherwise.

Trying too hard.
Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier
Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.).
Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!)
Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe
Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics.
Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it.

After what she said to that mother i can see that she as bad as she get, "Get anther child that not normal" at that moment i wish something bad happen to her . yes what she get was over the top and more then what she deserve (I mean i will not wish rape mother death or prison).

But i can't feel sorry for horrible person like that, any one ok with a little kid taken from her mother that way, she worst then Makoto from school day

So are Norma:
*People who can't use Mana
* Or people who can destroy the light of mana; remember the girl broke the pyramid thing, if that's so wouldn't that make Norma more powerful than Mana users?
*Or a combination of both, they cannot use Mana and thus don't have the ability to create barriers and do other wondrous things but they can destroy barriers formed by Mana users.

Yeah, they sure are making a mountain out of a molehill. Cross Ange is not the first anime or manga with controversial content. It's not a kid's show by any means, but it's not extreme by R-rated entertainment standards today.

While I do think that some things are over the top, if not melodramatic, the show still manages to be fairly entertaining. Every show has its flaws, though Cross Ange is certainly not trying to be politically-correct.

Though what happened at the end of ep1 wasn't rape at all - it was a strip search.
