8 - Story: Yes, when we first heard about Cross Ange, it seemed this show was going to be awesome, but did we get what we were expecting in the first episode? Heck no, that ending scene was jaw dropping, but as the story progressed, it became better and had very good plot twist. Some plot twist weren't even anything you would expect either. So, the story came around and did the show good.
8 - Art: The art to Cross Ange is very good to me. I mean, the art and animation can look awkward in some scenes, but who points out and cares about that small stuff? *coughsailormooncrystalhaterscough*
9 - Sound: The music is very good and likeable! I enjoyed all the music! The first opening and second ending are sung by Nana Mizuki, Ange's voice actor. While the first ending is sung by Eri Kitamura and the second opening is sung by Yoko Takahashi. The insert music is also enjoyable!
7 - Character: This show had some great character development. The main character, Ange, was whiny and annoying at first, but then she learned how to become independent for herself and learned that the world she originally lived in was a cruel and unjustified world. The other main characters also had very good character development. The development won't disappoint you.
9 - Enjoyment: I enjoyed this show very much! I was originally going to be one of the ones to drop it at episode 5, but I had faith in this show and kept going! It really did turn out to be something to enjoy.
9 - Overall: Cross Ange was a great show. You have to ignore some of the Yuri themes in there, but the main character ends up with a guy (I'll tell you that). It had a bad and horrible start at first, but it came to where you wanted to know what happened after a cliffhanger, it had emotional episodes and scenes where you could get sad, and the little comedy that needed. All in All, Cross Ange is something I recommend if you need a new anime to watch! :)
Also, the First Opening Single is totally worth the buy! XD
