Dragon princess shows up, wrack the place up good and Ange came save the day, unveil a face for the dragons, possible some origin of magic.

My take on the story if i am writing the plot:

there is some world wide organization like NERV somewhere harvesting dragons to power some magic generator that gives people magic all over the planet, but that upsets the balance of something and they use Nomar to attract these dragons so they would catch more of them to power those magic generators in a relative safe environment...

Ange once learn of what actually behind all that may go down destroying these generator to make every body norma again!

That's a pretty solid theory. If this is actually what happens I look forward to the reaction of the Norma-hating public ehehehe

If you watched the preview, it's very clear this series is very self-conscious about how ridiculous it is.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Everyone in the Misurugi Empire is disgusting. Glad Ange finally figured that out. Even though the rest of the Norma's are angry at them, I can't wait to see them destroy the world.

Y'know, if Ange hadn't been such a horrible, unlikeable, horrific little bitch this entire series, this episode might have felt like taking a level of badass. Instead it was that horrible little cunt escaping her comeuppance yet again. At least I got to see her get whipped and humiliated and sucker-punched, that was nice.

Now the cunt that gets everyone close to her killed wants to watch the whole world burn. Just as long as you throw your own carcass on the fire afterwards, I'm fine with that.

Damn you, Tusk. Why couldn't you have just been a minute or two later in getting there? At least let her choke and gasp for a little bit. And he immediately plants himself face-first in her crotch again, giving Ange all the excuse she wants to be her usual hateful, abusive self. Sigh, this joke never gets old to you, does it Japan?

It's ironic that Norma are treated as violent, antisocial monsters, and while the show clearly wants us to see that isn't true, in Ange's case, every syllable of it is. It's hard to sympathize with her when she deserves every bit of what she gets.

I really just want to drop this shit, I can't stand Ange at all, but I really do wanna know where things go. I guess I can bear to put up with her for a few more episodes, as long as Tusk the human punching bag stays away.

yo, i am REALLY excited for Ange and Hilda Vs. the World. YEAHHH little redhead girl! You don't a SHIT that ange deserted! Poor pink haired girl probaly feels really betrayed, but they didn't even stay to listen to ange tell why she left in the first place.
These episode previews always get me so nervous though. With Ange no longer in the V-machine theres no one to stop the death toll from rising again. Especially now that the group is fractured, and all their trust in ange and hilda is gone.
oh mannnnn

Sigh... I really don't understand why Tusk fanservice was even necessary.
Their "love development" is so rushed.

Sigh...

This anime...

Honestly everything that happens was extremely expected with its half baked plot.
However... man... Nana Mizuki's insert song is absolutely beautiful. Outstanding. So sublime.
I wished they would had included THIS insert instead of the one used in episode 5 with Ange and Tusk on her new single coming out on January.

Here's Slyvia proclaiming that norma are violent, antisocial and all that. Yet she's also the one whipping Ange up (and probably enjoying it too). Who's violent now?

Can't believe I am enjoying this anime.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

None of that has actually happened yet, so it's not a true spoiler. Unless someone who traveled into the future and completed Cross Ange can verify that, lol.

But honestly, anyone that afraid of spoilers should stay away from forums or reviews.

I hope Tusk is used in a more serious way in the future with action along the way. It will definitely get annoying for me fast if they keep using him as a fanservice tool on Ange and his perverted talks are starting to tick me off a bit.

That aside, love the fact that Ange and Hilda wanna team up against the world (code geass style) :D From the way things are heading, there has got to be a huge rebellion between the norma and humans which would be an epic war :)

Haha Tusk coming in, I figured he'd come in the nick of time to rescue Angelise, but he made quite the entrance though.



I can see this "greeting" is going to be used for the remainder of their subsequent meetings.. So all Angelise needs is to scream HENTAI!!

This episode was a good way to completely develop Angelise, and Hilda. I am glad they're getting along. I anticipate their Project Destroy "ZA WARUDO".

That "reunion" of Ange and Tusk was hilarious, poor guy got knocked over by her while trying to save her (and it's funny that he had an happy face while unconscious) "your hair is yellow, and so it is down there".

Well, the "humans" really are messed up. And so is Ange, trying to burn the world now?

And the new "alpha bitch" like bastek said (that made me laugh), never thought that she would turn out like that. Good development.

THIS IS Cross Ange. And I hope the next episodes will not fail to my expectations about this series.

But, I had this facepalm moment when one of Ange's "friend" told that she was lying to them. Like gosh, Ange didn't knew it either in her 16 years of existence. How dumb and racist this mana users can be? And oh, I suddenly remembered Shinji (FSN) when Julio was scratched in his fave by Ange. That was amazing and he deserves it.

Tusk having his fanservice hilarious entrance is pure gold. When he sleep, LMAO. But I bet he can do more than that. And he's a Vilkiss Knight huh? But dat 'blonde down there' moment. Wish he and Ange has more moments!

Props for Nana Mizuki. As expected of her.

I'm actually good in this alliance between Hilda and Ange destroying this rotten world. I bet the dragons will help them too. Man, I have more to say but overall, it felt too short!

Tusk's past memory confirms that actually happen for real, when I do believe is dragons did once attacked cities in other nations in the planet, but that was perhaps before the formation of the Arzenal base which lure the dragons over to that place.

So far what we can guess was (educated guess via description from offical bio in the official site http://crossange.com/character/embryo/): That guy appeared in the scene in the OP where Ange's cloths got torn was some guy knows the secret (technology) of the ancient past, (pause that scene, one can find a Mech with designs totally different from the Paramail series the girls use, which i predict be the Final boss machine.)
Assume the time before the Magic power became normal for the people in this world. He would be the person behind the Mech (paramail) machines and even the science related to formation of magic.


It is also predictable the dragons coming over may be connected to the Norma abnormality, they would be attracting the dragons in one way or another. Or they are the best weapon to defeat the dragons since magic can be used on them...

we certainly will learn a little more in the next two episode when the dragon princess shows up at last.

The amount of mystery setup is rather solid in Cross Ange. The last show that feature big flying monsters vs mech that was Macross Frontier fell far short in setting up the mystery of the monsters. I look forward for satisfying explanation of the world background.

Yea,likewise. On one side I found the crotch-landing and "You're blond down there too." funny Cross-Ange style but on the other,it kind of ruined what could've been a great rescue moment. It'll also indeed start to get old if they keep it up.

Wow the empire of Misurugi is full of ignorant racist people. It's actually petty upsetting.

Of course Tusk would make that kind of entrance when he comes in to save the day...Although the thing where he's a knight of Vilkiss is pretty interesting. Does that mean he's a norma, too?

OH POOR JULIO HE GOT A BOO BOO

Aww Hilda and Ange became friends :) and they also start taking about a revolution (but then again if they kill everyone then how will the norma make more babies? Tusk???). But it's kinda weird how they say things like: "oh we don't have enough fuel to get to the human world" but Tusk can fly over between Arzenal and the empire of Misurugi just fine...

And yuss the dragon princess comes next episode! Maybe she'll help with the whole rebellion thing, but she could also just be an enemy...I look forward to seeing what kind of role she plays in future episodes!

Though I see the use of the word racism, I don't think it's the right term concerning the Norma. The Norma are not a race or ethnic group, but mutants who lack the mana abilities of humans.

If anything, it's moreso an extreme form of ableism, or just simply discrimination.

If this episode confirmed one thing than it confirmed who the true monsters are.
I still believe the name Norma is a hint to normal but i guess things will be answered in time, so far we know that Norma can't use Mana and that they can destroy some things with mana.
But that's no excuse for this massive disgust against them, Ange used to be respected and looked up too before people knew she was a Norma.
Now they want her death even her own little sister who seemed to adore her at first and the girl who had her life saved by Ange wanted her death.
This society isn't only brainwashed they can't even think for themselves and are pure hypocrites, who ever brainwashed them did a good job they seem very easy to control.

Then we come to Julio i purposely didn't mention him till know.
The guy we seems so obsessed with power that he betrayed his own family in order the gain power, he set up his sister gave the comment to shoot his own mother and killed his father.
Since the first episode he seems the main bad guy and i already imagine him dying in a brutal way (He deserves it).
It's also clear now that he knows where Angry was being held and that he set up a trap when Ange came.

The things that's been standing out to me tho is not him but his guard/advisor the woman with the grey hair and yellow eyes.
I have thought so since the first episode but to me it seems she has a bigger role then just being a guard/advisor.
It looks like she is manipulating Julio i do not know to what extend but it's clear she holds power and she is in the perfect position to do so.
I would not be surprised if she gets a bigger role in the future and i even see her backstabbing Julio at some point (Which would be a scene i would love to see).

Yay!
Finally, the plot has a purpose, perhaps.
Narration more than convincing, even explanations collide.
A protagonist who does not take place at all can not be said that it is Ange proves it! XD
Good characterization of Angelise and the rest of the cast, although there is need more time, however, so succulent growth of its profile, is more than adequate for me.
But it is unfortunate that the level of the designs was so poor, I hope we can remedy in BD.
I'm happy to see Hilda safely, I feared more for her than for Ange, since she was a character almost secondary.
Now, I'm curious to see how it will recover all they have lost.

As for the blonde bush, apparently you don't watch much porn, do you? I'm guessing you haven't heard the phrase 'Does the carpet match the drapes?' either ...

P.S. Series has been dropped. I simply cannot stand Ange's continued existence for one second longer. As far as I'm concerned, Tusk got there too late, Ange strangled to death to massive applause, and the world was thus a better place.

And not just the empire either. Remember, if what we've been told so far is true, from back when Ange was writing her petitions, and the signs pointing to the empire being crossed out suggest that it is, quite a bit of what Julio was doing this time was to improve his and the empire's standing among other countries after the Norma scandal. It's all "humans" in this world, not just this one country.
