| Imo the story was already rolling at full pace by ep 4-6. Granted only now is everything fully explained. Don't care that other people are dropping it. They're more than welcome to stick to watching the usual "unoffensive" stuff and live i. A world safeguarded by trigger warnings. |

| LOL the lengths people will go to, to justify what they watch XD It's been good from the start, they just fell victim to the peer pressure telling them it sucks. Some people just want to be sheeps.. |

| I dropped it at the first 10 secs. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |

| I picked it because I saw it was made by Sunrise, I was expecting another Valvrave which meant I was only going to watch this for the lulz, which is what actually happened for the first 5 or 6 eps, but in these last eps it actually became pretty good, which is something I didn't expect at all :P |

| Well hopefully this anime will get more favorable feedback as it goes and persuade some to give it another chance. ninjastarforcex said: Posse said: I picked it because I saw it was made by Sunrise, I was expecting another Valvrave which meant I was only going to watch this for the lulz, which is what actually happened for the first 5 or 6 eps, but in these last eps it actually became pretty good, which is something I didn't expect at all :P contrast to so many overhyped anime this season with high expectation. turns out a big disappointment shit. cross ange = best fall and 2014 anime Consensus will undoubtedly choose F/SN. As a fan of that series myself, I still like Cross Ange more, (with yuki yuna a close second, another underrated |

| well you know how people are on MAL, they have a limited enjoyment based on there plot driven, character devlop. and all other bull*** that keeps them from enjoying anime |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| If this has any type of yuri I am in ^_^ . Now on a more serious note , I've waited for it to go at least 12 eps , then watch the show . It seems that it has mixed reviews , not that I expected anything else after watching the first eps fast forwarding it . I've watched Argevollen , that was pretty normal for me , crap for others , same score as this , mecha and stuff , so I will watch this as well . Now I'm in the ' GO WATCH CROSS ANGE ' Club . |
| it's still yuri shit but seriously, still can do a lot better. |
| In this episode the characters literally went to a bath for exposition, at least Ange questions why they are doing it and that it's stupid, most of the viewers just kinda accept it and I find that hilarious. |
 |
| Lol this anime has been good since episode one (albeit some controversial stuff and other flaws). It's funny how everyone says it's bad because that's the popular thing to do. People are like: BETTER JOIN THE BANDWAGON!!! |

| The real problem this show has was the bad introduction... The series suffered because of all that excessive fan service and yuri drop in the first few episodes... after around ep 5 .. things really started to turn around and the plot got more interesting and the fanservice started to drop.... even i had friends who dropped it after 1 episode because of that... i actually fell due to peer pressure and dropped it after ep 3 but my instincts where telling me to keep watching... glad i did.... I really dont like mecha but this one is one of the few exceptions :) |
| In my opinion it is one of the best anime of this season. |

Or you like Yuri shit, and was originally completely OK with watching the show if it stayed at that level of girl-on-girl prison pandering, but was pleasantly surprised when it tried to do more with its characters. Almost dropped this show like 8 times because the Yuri almost killed it for me. Glad I didn't though. It's definitely a good show at its core. |

| The anime was already good from the 1st episode |
Monotheist said: ange is most well written character so stfuNot really. If anything, this could be the point where the show becomes genuinely bad while it has always been one of the most entertaining show to watch this season so far, from the start. One of the most obvious sign that the writing is getting worse is Ange's character . Just 2 episodes earlier, she was so strongly determined to make change to this world and now in this episode she is about to goes under a refusal state, a very typical shounen's development. This is just a terrible un-development and bound to make mess with her character, which was one of the best part of the show so far. |
| I'm gonna be very honest, this show could have easily survived without the yuri/porn/nudity/gore scenes that are "blatantly" there to draw the attention of stupid emo/violent teenagers, such a shame, tsk tsk .. :| |

Plenty of main characters in other well received shows have experienced that phase. It's usually only temporary. |

| But I do agree it's starting to pick up the pace. EvenJellyOn said: I dropped it at the first 10 secs. I try and give everything I watch at least until 3 or 4 episodes before I drop it. |

This is just a terrible un-development and bound to make mess with her character, which was one of the best part of the show so far. She was so obviously just kidding when she was talking with Hilda in their cell about "destroying the world". She's one person, who's PART of a minor discriminated against group, not their leader and she's well aware of that. She's not even an a minor officer. I can see her joining Libertus grudgingly but that's a faction that probably took years to be established by Jill, the norma with the most influence, and perhaps others. I could've seen Ange take the initiative on wanting to reclaim & reform the Mitsurugi Empire as she's an ambitious type but at the conditions for that made it kind of impossible, at least for the moment. Going from a deserter to a rebel leader doesn't happen overnight and she's aware of that. |
| I disagree. She's only asserting her free will, rather than taking orders without questioning them. It's not like she's gotten to Shinji Ikari's level yet. |

| This always had an interesting story. Or at least it always had a good setup for a story. It has also always had shit execution and lots of inappropriate nudity. It still does. This could have been amazing. As it stands it's like... decent? I guess it just depends on how much stupid you can tolerate. |
Novalogic said: From what i can tell after 1st episode and ( very ) fast forwarding some other scenes, it's a failed experiment of an anime... but well, there are people on this world who are enjoying even eating shit ( literaly ), so it will have it's followers for sure... let me rephrase what you actually said. "not actually fully watching the series so i literally have no idea what i am talking about but the series must be shit" |

"not actually fully watching the series so i literally have no idea what i am talking about but the series must be shit" I don't get why anyone would think that they could obtain a meaningful opinion by watching an anime on fast forward. You don't get to observe visuals and you miss out on dialogue completely. Good/bad animes effectively look the same on fast forward. The only thing FF is good for is resuming progress on an episode you stopped midway or skipping OPs you're tired of seeing. |
| Typing on an ipad is like driving carpentry nails with a sledgehammer. |
| As I've said, its so bad yet so good show and I'm planning to raise my score after it ends. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Yes. I'm surprised as you are OP. Cross Ange is actually getting good. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| So I'm not 100% familiar with how MAL ratings work, but if I understand correctly: once the series is over, the "dropped" ratings will be removed, correct? Like the low ratings that all the pussy bitch SJW gave it? |
| Too good. 8/10 |

| The show feels like a reverse cock-tease. In the sense that episode one was actually made out to make the series look bad, but as it progressed it really climbed steadily in terms of plot, Its kind of reminiscent to how madoka played out, where everyone's initial thoughts were that of a crap mahou shoujo |
| Anime gave me more life lessons than school |
| I picked it up for the yuri and Nana + Yukarin. I'm now getting that, plus awesome battles and music, plus interesting plot, plus a super bonus: Horie Yue. I'm more then happy. Yes, it's getting much better. After the first 2 episode, I thought Ange was a bitch and I hated her. Hilda as well. They are both my favorite now. Ange is absolutely adorable when around Hilda and Tusk. Tusk is known as Sir. Pervert. |

Like, those people who dropped it after episode 1 because of the "controversial" cavity search thing. Their votes won't be counted? At least that's what I had thought. |
