is it like a crossbone gundam spinoff or something?

It's a mecha anime by the guy who made Gundam SEED about a women's prison where the prisoners have to fly robots to fight dragons until they die

To be fair in this case he's a producer, not a director

Gundam Seed director did a show about girls in giant robots fighting dragons, and it turned out to be super creepy and bad.

Cross Ange is Valverave only the rape is in the first episode instead of 8 episodes in, so that means people get ridiculously mad at it instead of calling it a ~wacky trainwreck :iamafag:~

From the gifs I've seen, the first episode's anal fist scene was one of the more mild things.

It and Cross Ange can both be traced back to Code Geass, in that basically they are aiming for the audience that ate up Geass.

they're not even wacky, by the end of shows that people call "trainwrecks" like valvrave or guilty crown, they just become incredibly dull

How come nobdoy told me that the band who did the IBO theme song has such a rich backstory?

Before becoming popular, the band invented a back-story for why they wear wolf masks, which involves them being created as the "Ultimate Life Form" by Jimi Hendrix, who is described by the band as being the doctor of the guitar and master wolf biologist. They were then frozen in Antarctica for years, before escaping and emerging on the Japanese music scene

I watched the first season of Valvrave and didn't even bother with the second. It was just really boring and I didn't care about any of the characters.

I learned my lesson from valvrave and expected that and dropped cross ange after the first singing thing happened and showed a bunch of alternate timelines or some poo poo. what i've heard of what happens after that sounds really poo poo, even by the standards set by the first half

That's the thing about Cross Ange. Most bad shows have at least a glimmer of a decent premise and are just fumbled in the execution for one reason or other, but Cross Ange had thought put into it. This is the show they wanted in all it's horror.

As per tradition, IBO will have its own thread, so whoever wants to make that can just go ahead.

Daisuki is streaming IBO in "242 countries." Dunno if it's going to be another G-Reco situation or if the US is included. And speaking of G-Reco, it's conning to Hulu this week.

If its not a case then you could just use a proxy to watch it from them. My other experiences with Daisuki have been that their english translator can get pretty lazy and take longer than the other languages to come out. Spanish was ok.

Pretty sure Bandai or the broadcasting network do their own subtitles, because AnimeLab was the only simulcaster for G-Reco and they dont do in-house subtitling.
