I played it. And then I stopped playing it halfway through because it was kind of boring, sorry.

 Got the plat trophy as well. The environments looked nice, the music was amazing, and the boss fights were cool as well, but the actual gameplay was quite bad.

It didn't help that the game just struggled to run in places on the PS4 despite looking like a PS3 game aside from the bloom But I liked the story so an anime should be good, especially if they go further with relationships

I got the game on steam recently as well, I was interested mainly because it doesn't seem to do the same sort of toon shading other anime style games do and wanted to see how well it worked out.

Hopefully it keeps the good soundtrack, but I'm never sure how those sorts of things work out.

I’m another one who played it for the story despite the weaknesses in its gameplay, so I’ll definitely be watching the anime.

I played Blue Reflection, only missing an achievement for maxing out the digital pet thing and maybe an item from the crafting system that shows up so late it's pointless. It should be interesting when all the demons show up and they end up killing someone to show it's serious business being a Reflector.

lets all just play the orphen ps2 game that was made by the same dev studio that later made a cross ange lesbian dating sim where you play as a girl who looks weirdly identical to maria from symphogear and you have the option to bang the pink haired mommy or go on magical girl cosplay dates with sallia. the hilda ending is literally you marrying hilda, and becoming wives who live together in a quiet country home the cross ange vita game is infinitely more awesome than any licensed mecha anime video game from 2015 deserves to be

the first three episodes of cross ange are kinda bad and a couple of the scenes with embryo and ange are a bit much. other than that and tusk being kinda boring outside of a few really funny gags, it's one of the most fun 2010s mecha anime i've watched, the majority of it doesn't really fit the impression people give of it. like it's 90% just a goofy mecha anime with cool lesbians really as far as sunrise anime with weird sexual content i give cross ange more points than mai hime or mai otome for being less weird about lesbians and ultimately lingering less on weird aspects of its writing The Colonel fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Feb 13, 2021 |

I'm listening to a (japanese) anime podcast called SokoAni. The staff changes over the years, but they're all adults (many 30+) and the majority are women. A few weeks into every season they do one episode where they talk about the new shows, one "end of the season" episode where they talk about the shows that ended, and then the rest of the episodes between that are usually focus episodes on single series/movies (or sometimes specific topics/creators). They also have anime industry connections and do interviews with creators. They generally like the same kinds of shows people here like with one big exception: They *really* liked Cross Ange. In the initial episode for the season (Cross Ange stuff starts at 24:28) their opinions were still kinda split but then they gave it two focus episodes because they liked it (kinda rare) and their final opinion after it ended was really positive as well.

cross ange definitely misuses stuff like sexual assault for shock value in a few places and tusk is just a poorly executed character all around but there's stuff it really lands, too. embryo sitting in a room and going 'nobody respects women more than i do' while two naked apron maids feed him pancakes is such an incredible shot. i can understand being put off by it especially when the first couple eps are a pretty weak foot to put forward but i don't really get acting like it's a unique horror or anything, especially when opinions on shows with similar flaws tend to float much more positive.

I ended up watching all of Cross Ange after playing through SRW V and it's a pretty fun show with some really deep flaws. Embryo is an amazing villain that you really love to hate and, after the rapey commander is out of the plot a few episodes in, it gets much better on the hero character side. The episode that is the climax of Ange and Salia's rivalry is something that has to be seen to be believed as it's extremely goofy and completely cut from any of the videogame adaptations. It's like it comes from a completely different show, in a fun way.

Tamba posted:ADTRW has a huge hateboner for Cross Ange, I blame Zorak. Nah, in this case it was the first episode that did it. It really left a bad impression on people and most people wrote it off as trash right then and there. I more remember the ANN reviewers ripping on it and nobody ever talked good about it. I then saw people on these forums last year say good things about it and picked it up when Sentai had a huge blowout sale (got entire series for like 20$) and while the first little bit was definitely super edgelord poo poo, the series is actually a pretty fun time. Cross Ange isn’t amazing but it’s way better than people who wrote it off would have you think.

I still use the preview guide to maybe see if there’s anything that’s getting glowing praise that I might be missing out on, but otherwise yeah, their reviews are not worth it. Posting here is usually a good enough to get a beat on a show.

tbh if there's a 2010s mecha anime i want put into srw with all teh weird bits cut out it's less cross ange and more rinne no lagrange. but i guess that's easy to say since cross ange has already been put in twice and it just has a few scenes that are mildly weird to me while rinne no lagrange has one of the worst scenes i've ever seen in a mecha anime for how awkward its place in the story and how insanely long it gets dragged on is, and i'd like a version of the story that cuts it (the vox experiment scene in season 2)

I'm not gonna blame the ANN reviewers because I also watched the first episode of Cross Ange and immediately pulled the chute until some friends convinced me to give it a shot. It's a really bad first impression!

I really like the way Horimiya has paced and constructed some of the early arcs, I seem to remember Miyamura cutting his hair way later but it works really well to bring it up here since it's where the story sort of starts to settle into a pretty comfortable groove and getting it out of the way I think honestly helps the story overall.

I'm assuming it's gonna be a 12 episode series so they're cutting down a lot of the miscellaneous fluff. But really, the first chapter this episode adapts is 26 (which is the same chapter he cuts his hair), so they're not even going that fast.

watched a few eps of vlad love. it's not a super genius comedy but i feel like if you just approach it as a weird show with some decent gags and creative visuals it's fine, mamoru oshii's name kinda hurts it more than anything for the expectations it sets
