THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
We get more info dump regarding their world by the Dragon Princess. Lol Tusk. Idk what to say for him this episode with all the ladies around him.

Vivian feels like she's almost at home now with one of the girls who knows her personally as her daughter. Hmm, the mood of this episode felt melancholic in a way.

Now, when Ange tasted Tusk's dick, this anime is trully Comedy Gold. Best comedy of the season.

Purefags literally BTFO.

Also, Vivian just got even more adorable, and her mom is kinda hot.

...it was still a bit boring, however.

My theory about mana coming from the dragons was true after all. Embyro that bastard, he needs to die.

Vivian looked exceptionally sexy this episode and how about her mom that she was reunited with, yum, absolutely sexy, I could barely contain the drool. The empire needs to fall by a combination of dragon and norma, there is no sense in killing a group of beautiful folk like these (even the ordinary folk were beautiful).

Tusk getting a harem was funny as fuck and Ange's reaction was priceless.

these two episodes should have explained 80% of what happen, but certainly not everything.. there should be ONE last big twist in the setting of the world, that explains that through out history sequence and how that embryo guy has matrix ability.

I expect them all be in a sleeping tube somewhere under control by Embryo who is perhaps a dead controller's memory.

Again, another episode short of fan service which if writers stick to their trend can throw in a load of them. Once again, plot carries the weight, evidence that good story still rules.

Animation quality also saw a big drop at times in the past two episodes but over all even with little mech sequence appear in them.

Cross Ange never fails to brighten my week. That shocking truth, the ending scenery, the feelz, and a slight bit of comic fanservice. Truly exceptional.

P.S. Ange can do many things to Tusk in anger, but she can never un-suck his dick.

I had to go out the door and check the sign, for a second there, I thought this wasn't Cross Ange.

This had no heterophobia neither did it have a lot of fan service.

Probably one of slowest episodes in Cross Ange. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

The series should really be rated higher. It's been progressing at a pretty good rate. Sure it's kinda obvious where it's going(the middle scene that they play before commericals has kinda ruined the surprise imo), but it has been great so far.

Lol Oh my god I have never seen such a show redeem itself in such an amazing manner.. i mean seriusly either the director was changed in the middle of the show or the writers were replaced cause when u compare this series to how it is now to how it was in the beggining its like 2 different series.

This is it man. this episode has finally sealed the deal for me.... I was never a fan of Mecha but this show has broken that barrier and now has become my favorite Mecha series of all time.... The Plot is good, The animation is good.... ( ok not these past 2 ep but i think there saving their budget for the fight scenes ) .. The Soundtrack God like and Comedy pure Gold.... ( oh my god i laughed my ass of that one scene.. Tusk u got more than most Men in anime would dream off..

Instant Buy when it comes out in the west and hopefully It might be the start of a franchise.. cause i like this show a lot :) The first volume sales were very good so i am hopefull.

that sex ed scene



2 dimensions

embryo went to ange's earth, fought against the ancient people, took over and created the perfect world by using aura to create mana.

dragon people want to get aura back and send dragons to fight. unfortunately more dragons coming to get aura allows embryo to replenish mana with these dragons.

"Are u frustrated u couldn't get any?" LOL'd so much at Ange rubbing it in Tusk's face XD Well tbh Ange, u were quite horny there too :P I'd even say she was in heat more than Tusk XD

Dat pose they were in when they landed was pretty hot :3 And Tusk groping Ange's ass like a RitoBA XD

Ange got owned against Sala and she was holding back too XD

Her reaction to Tusk being surrounded by girls "cooperating" with Sex education and falling on his D XD

"My heart belongs to u"
"But not ur body"
All Dat dere Ange <3

I really wonder what route she's gonna be choosing :3

The animation quality isnt up there in the past few episodes, in fact it didnt even reach the standards of the first 3 episodes, character facial composition is pretty dreadful at times. The biggest saving grace for the show is the mysterious plot, which makes me over look the unnecessary fan service crap. Without that element pulling audience (even it is increasingly getting to predictable territory) it wont be as successful as it is right now.

So a two side alliance, formerly rivals unit to fight the ultimate evil (very Gundam Seed) seem to be the 2nd half of the season and i prepare for the big final plot twist: IT is all a dream .. :p

Still hate Ange x Tusk fanservice. The oversexualization of their relationship and interactions are completely unneeded and downright disrespects Ange as a character. Why can't they make it like Kira x Lacus kind of relationship since there are really alot of similarities between seed and cross ange. Seeing how the story of this show is completely way superior than those shitty crappy fanservice animes that mindless-testosterone-driven-males likes so much then the heroine must atleast have the love and respect she deserves, especially from the writers and director.

I know that there are alot of fanservice in this anime since the beginning and i also like fanservice/naked girls/porn like any other guy but i get it where i SHOULD get it and it's called HENTAI. But I think this show needs less to almost to no fanservice at all. We all agree that the story of this anime is truly excellent but MANY anime viewers are easily turned-off if there are too many fanservice in a given anime (fanservice=crap) causing them to drop them early on without giving them more chance like what many people did with cross ange.

I may get hates for saying these stuff seeing how many of people in this forum are in love with fanservice but i truly believe that this show deserves to be treated more seriously and with respect.

So, the DRAGONS where just simply trying to rescue Aura and Embryo is harvesting their Draconimu Crystals, so therefore the source of mana was because of those DRAGONs.

So, Tsuk is a sex educational tool, and looks like those DRAGONS chicks were yanking his joystick....so I'm guessing that Tusk has ran out of love juice from all that yanking that those Dragon chick were doing.

Oh man, this episode was so Cross Ange.

We got more major reveals which add another faction to the game. So we got like:

- Sala & the humans or human-dragons of the post-apocalyptic earth
- Mr.Just as planned with a god complex a.k.a. Embryo and his mana-controlled society
- The normas at Arzenal a.k.a. Jill's Libertus

And then there's Ange and Tusk(or well, mostly Ange) at the center of it all.

And of course, in typical Cross Ange fashion, we also get some fanservice & and these were quite hilarious, along with the dialogues. Starting off with

"Are you frustrated because you didn't get any?"

and more of the show being self-aware through Ange herself



Also, dat smirk.

Then there's the reversed crotch-landing. Well played Sunrise, well played.

But back to the actual plot. What will you do Ange? Support Sala? Go back & join up with Jill & Libertus? Or perhaps you have something else in mind? Really liking the element of choice presented here. Can't wait for next week!

The moment I saw the small wings behind the true human's back, I knew Riza had to be one of them. She was definitely on a spy mission and thus couldn't care less on Ange's family situation. Embryo is a true human from the looks of things due to a few other true humans having ragna mail as well (I doubt they went to the false earth to steal them).

Tusk having no issues with the ladies I see, I'm sure he will settle just fine in that place :P

This is pure genius, the intricate workings of the world and DRAGONS plus character development by experiencing the DRAGONS festival and seeing that they are humans as well.

Ange : you think I'm stupid!
Those lines from Ange stem from her anger from Riza's involvement, frustration and ignorance.
Princess : you were simply unaware.
Ange : you think I'm stupid. Dammit!
She knows she was unaware, but her frustration at the princess and the fact that she's prideful make her unable to except that she's right.
Ange : I hate your eyes.
She knows that Salamandinay sama is right, but her frustration at all the deaths and betrayals can' be undone by mere words.
And that lead us to the festival, Salamandinay sama set it up the celebration for Vivian and to let Ange experience/learn their culture and spirits.

All that comes from them is destruction.

Nicely put! If there's two things I've learned about Ange is that

1) Her prideful nature makes her hates being looked down on and can make her impulsive, even if she knows the opposing party makes a solid point
2) She hates being used and or disgarded for some grand plan and Sala's attack on Arzenal because they pose a potential threat to her plan to get back Aura & to test her mech was what it looked to Ange, as well as the fact that Sala was an enemy that tried to kill them. I bet she really hated she Sala told her "It was to test Ryushiki".

Of course, it was all brilliantly orchestrated to have normas kill the dragons that were attempting to rescue Aura. Embryo basically put the two groups that would've wanted to take him & his mana society down at each other's throats. There's some bad blood between dragons & normas and it probably won't go away so easily.

Still very much a flawed character and IMO, no well-written character should become truly flawless lest they become Stu/Sue. But she can learn to forgive & perhaps form a temporary-alliance with Sala to take down Embryo, since it's in her & her fellow norma's interests to take him & his mana society down as well. She can attempt to settle her differences with Sala afterwards if she still wants to.

I love the fact that this show is finally pushing it's plot, after 12 episodes of nothing, and that the plot actually makes sense. So the males of the population turn into dragons and do all the hard labor. That leads to my main question, how the F do the females have sex with the males then? In dragon form? Does this mean that they have to wait till all the babies are born before they can return them to human form? They explicitly said that they don't get to see many mature humanoid males, that means the males that turn Dragon can't change back, right?

Embryo is living up to his antagonist tag. I approve. After hearing his back story I already want to strangle him myself.

What I don't approve, again, is the Ange x Tusk angle. Seriously, he's been BDSM'd on a flat operation platform with his hands and legs tied up, and where the fuck does she fall on? With what exactly? Totally unnecessary if you ask me. I'd rather ship Ange with Sala than with Tusk. This show really doesn't need a vanilla pairing, plus Tusk makes a shitty character.

More story and less of the pointless and unneeded psudo romance please. Ange is a tough girl with more balls than that useless prick of a sissyboy will ever have.

It is like that priestess or whatever almost immediately knew/recognized Ange's personality.
Instead of attempting to talk her into doing this or that , all she's doing is provide information
and showing her how things work over there and leave the rest for Ange to decide.
Which is exactly how Ange would've wanted it.

The OP and the "tone" seems to suggest she'll eventually join the "dragons" in their fight.
She gets to "destroy" the world she despises, and helps the "dragons" in the process.
"destroy" as in remove their magic/mana.

But I wonder, why does she appear to have wings at the end of the OP?

That scene with Tusk...wow. I think a new low has been reached. :D

Too bad too because the rest was fairly interesting. The only one of those dragon girls I have any trouble forgiving is Riza who I see will be in the next episode. For her involvement in the death of Ange's parents she needs to die, though I doubt she will. Knowing her true allegiance also seems to imply the insane little sister might eventually try and get "redeemed" too but she needs death as well as far as I'm concerned.
