You seem like a fella who might enjoy a romance series but maybe not just a droll shojo. So why not have a taste of Octave! A fun, exciting romp in Tokyo following a failed idol who has no idea what to do with her life and winds up shacking up with a lesbian above a laundromat. Said failed idol may be a horribly depressed, kinda lovely/selfish person. Enjoy!

Is Ore Monogatari not droll?

You mean the intense 12-pager about war crimes? The rare mentions of the actual TV show seem almost accidental in there. Let me know when everyone chills out like the Girls und Panzer thread. Can't a Nazi insignia just be a kawaii swimsuit accessory?

In case the person who asked is still confused

Maria the Virgin Witch is about Maria, who is a virginal witch, yes. More importantly it is about what she does since it takes place during the Hundred Years War, when France and Britain decided to engage in a friendly competition of who could kill the most of each other. As it turns out it seems every religion ever was right, so there's valkyries but also god and the archangels watching everyone. Maria here wants to protect everyone and stop people fighting by way of summoning big fuckoff monsters to scare everyone away but AS IT TURNS OUT that is not exactly proper form according to the heavens so she's in troooooouble

there you go

Good news, Cross Ange's brutal shock violence and terrible, terrible misogyny are apparently no big deal because the show gets better

http://kotaku.com/cross-ange-is-an-anime-that-goes-from-abhorrent-to-enjo-1681311672

quote:

With this realization it is finally clear why there is so much violent, graphic content in Cross Ange—especially in the early episodes. Ange has been abused at every possible level both personally and by society at large for one purpose outside of the context of the story: to make the viewer be completely on her side when she vows to watch the world burn. While the protagonist, Ange's story to this point is not one of a hero, but of a sympathetic villain. Her journey is one from being the most privileged of society to the one poised to destroy it. And despite some early fumbling, it is an excellently done character arc.

Ultimately, Cross Ange is an anime difficult to recommend. The first few episodes are borderline unwatchable and are not an experience I'd wish on anyone. However, what comes after is truly a well realized world with an excellently developed lead character. Perhaps in this case, the best thing to do is simply read episode summaries online before jumping directly to episode six. Sure, you'll be missing out on some of the anime's groundwork, but, honestly, that's a small price to pay.

"The constant nudity and bathing scenes represent a symbolic cleansing of their bodies that they regularly go through to wash off the blood, both on their skin and their soul. The constant scences of Tusk falling face first into Ange's crotch are a comment on the duality of the world, how powerful women still need men in order to procreate"

I know Kotaku has always been a joke, but this is some next level stupidity, especially given how the creator admitted he wanted the girls to constantly be naked and only allowed the revealing flight/combat suits so the show would get made.
