What did Ange mean by this?
I don't remember this scene. I watched it on Daisuki when it aired and they just showed Ange pouncing on Tusk when he Kira Yamato'ed himself.
When did this scene take place?
People overexaggerated that so much and misinterpreted things. Ange wasn't bleeding from the search; that was blood on her dress from her mother being fricking killed right in front of her.
It's trash and made it's own property name instead of taking one from a once good anime franchise. I've always coped with Gundam shows being mediocre at best since Seed, though.

These b***hes are bi homie
Utena is bi too but you have been gaslit to believe she's lesbian. She has a handsome groomer Indian man lick her feet and make her blush and than frick her.
Cross Ange didn't have high expectations because Fukuda. When it started with THAT scene, and got a whole controversy, it was viral for a bit, but pretty quickly people wrote it off as more Fukuda trash.

I remember this show getting shitposted about to death when it was airing. Not so much for the lesbian shit though.
said, it was shitposted about pretty regularly. The weekly threads about the new episode were anemic and often created by a gaggay who accumulated art and shoops of different characters in bondage as an opening/early image.
The people who followed it were sort of in a ghetto together while others pointed and laughed that anyone would bother with this dumpster fire. You're right that there wasn't the rage - they weren't seething sexists going apeshit because HOW DARE SOMEONE PUT A -WOMAN- IN A GUNDAM, they were just average trolls jeering what tiny following the show had here for having shit taste. Largely the show was just written off and no one gave a shit.
People just losing their minds over G-Witch because it's Gundam.
FWIW:
- First 3 eps are grimdark to set up the initial story
- Next ~5 eps whiplash into women's prison comedy where Ange's seriousness is played for deadpan comedy and hijinks.
- Then ~5 episodes pull some transitional drama that's almost comedically serious but has some revelations about what's actually going on
- ~4 episodes of interlude and exposition while the heroes are sidelined and the villains make moves to set up the final arc
- ~8 episodes final arc that's just over the top insanity, shock jocking, and comedic interludes, culminating in a trans-dimensional final battle that's concluded in part by cucking the big bad into a blind rage

Never seen Ange but going by what this thread says it sounds deranged. Can i expect pure Fukuda kino?
Cross Ange is so much fricking fun. It's trashy garbage, but purposeful trashy garbage, like the people making it went "We COULD make a regular good show, but eh, this is more fun." Watch it right now.
It leans into everything that makes anime a guilty pleasure. I personally think it's a seminal work that outclasses anything you would be embarrassed to show your grandma. Admitting you like anything about the show pretty much paints you as a deranged degenerate, but that's exactly what makes it so god damn fun.
it's good, it's entertaining, and most of the cliques I've seen are from the people who haven't pulled the stick out of their ass yet.
Yes, it is pure KINO

No one show can truly claim to have all of the traits that define how Cross Ange fit the "so bad it's good" trope, but look at
Aquarion
Gundam IBO
Gundam SEED
I'll second that. I've been looking for something to scratch this itch for years.

ok so I finished the series and kind of disappointed with how it ended. when the dude and the maid get blown up, i thought it was awesome because now Ange has to fight Embryo alone and the stakes are raised. And she almost commits suicide and lies there crying with a pistol and its so kino and relatable.
Next thing, the dude and the maid magically come back to life and they proceed to btfo Embryo with little resistance. But it never explains how the frick they came back to life. Did Embryo inadvertently raise them from the dead by bringing in copies from another world? Its totally unexplained and I would have preferred for them to stay dead but the anime is like "frick you, we're out of ideas and have to force a sappy happy ending"
>i was hoping for something adult
You were like 2 or 3 episodes before the end and you thought you were getting an adult show from this?

Way to just completely re-interpret what happens there
thats an ending for 12 year olds. i was hoping for something adult
Going off of the other world/parallel universe theory, the story could of easily just ended there. Ange kills herself. End of story.
We the audience are likely just witnessing the version where it all works out. I'm not even being sarcastic going from what's being displayed in the background of ep11 when Ange meets Salamandinay for the first time. >suicides into alt timeline, no joke
Otherwise, it's basically the maid blocked the bullet with her frying pan and Tusk had flame resistant armor... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Fukuda literally said it doesn't matter how they survived, all that matters is that they survived and how it relates to Ange as a character. This is how he does his shows. He's a hack who believes in the destination and not the journey to get there.
>Fukuda literally said it doesn't matter how they survived, all that matters is that they survived and how it relates to Ange as a character.
That's a good point - it's pretty meaningless exactly how they survived in the grand scheme of things - it could be any number of ways and it wouldn't make any difference to the core story and character arcs involved.
It's not meaningless to explain how a character that blew themselves up survived. Leaving plotholes like that open allows no consistency in your story and no one can take anything that happens seriously. There's a reason model kits and Astray try and explain how Kira survived the Strike vs Aegis fight. Because consistency is important. If you don't care then the audience won't care and will be indifferent.
I mean considering the show has at that point embraced that fact that it is a comedy the fact tusk a Kira clone a character for cheating death in situations where he really shouldn't get out of it by taking it to the most absurd extreme possible.
Personally, I love the show it managed to make me laugh at it constantly at its absurdist comedy. The fact that the main antagonist has the personality of a fedora wearing neck beard who thinks he's entitled to getting everything his way makes the entire show that much better. I have no idea if the Japanese version was intended as a comedy, but the dub certainly is.
Sequel when?
They literally left all of humanity to rot on the old earth while the norma are having the time of their lives. They had the easy life janked away from them, they are bound to get pissed and for shit to eventually hit the fan, if they ever learn how to travel between worlds.

it's all so tiring. both sides are moronic, making culture wars out of fricking chinese cartoons. I wanted to engage with people watching Witch on twitter but after seeing the shitstorms I decided to keep to myself
they did, it's just that nobody remembers these morons now. will be the same with Witch.
I was mad for years then I rewatched cause kyoukai was shit now I am no longer mad and am ok with it.
Also not yuri because kira.
>it's entirely a lesbian show
It also happens to be good, fun and original one.
G-Meme is none of the above.
>It also happens to be good, fun and original one.
Only if you are huffing paint fumes. Nothing that's touched by Fukuda can be described in those above words.

Gundam is a gayg franchise. It is very hard to make something actually good out of it.

It's an enjoyable trainwreck. I would not call it good, fun or original by any stretch of the imagination
You should watch it again. There was lots of sex and violence but it was also cliche, blunt, and stiff.
It was fun but it certainly wasn't good.
It was trash then and still is
>it's entirely a lesbian show
?
3 Days of fricking
you fell for the bait thread

>Immediately reciprocates Best Girl's feelings and relegates Tusk to Side Piece status
What did Ange mean by this?
>>She is obviously lesbian, please ignore her boyfriend and the cum in her womb!
She doesn't. She rejects her for Tusk.
But best girl was Salia and Hilda had the hots for her anyways.
I don't remember this scene. I watched it on Daisuki when it aired and they just showed Ange pouncing on Tusk when he Kira Yamato'ed himself.
When did this scene take place?
Episode 22 on the Blu-ray. Apparently the English dub has it too.
Remember how it opened with what was basically lesbian rape via cavity search?
That pretty much set the tone for it, if you weren't on board it was early enough to jump ship.
Also it was both fricked up and straight up weird.
People overexaggerated that so much and misinterpreted things. Ange wasn't bleeding from the search; that was blood on her dress from her mother being fricking killed right in front of her.

That being said, frick Cross Ange, horrible show.
Not enough people reported it, and no one else is a Duel-tier b***h who would unironically IRC the moderation directly about it.
The future of /m/ is pretty grim.
>it's entirely a lesbian show
It's not. All the girls ended up being straight.
Not the redhead with pigtails that was desperate for Ange pussy and got a sympathy mouth-to-mouth kiss from her.
She was straight too.
I can't tell if you're shitposting or not.
I'm not. She was straight, just like the rest of the girls.
I believe everyone can agree that Cross Ange was an anti-yuritard /m/
No Hilda was thoroughly desperate for Ange.
She even b***hes that Ange gets to be saved by tusk and not by her, but gets flustered once Ange notices her.
Nah, she fell for Tusk by the end.
These b***hes are bi homie
Utena is bi too but you have been gaslit to believe she's lesbian. She has a handsome groomer Indian man lick her feet and make her blush and than frick her.
Cross Ange is Gundam.
Isn't*. Frick I'm tired.
I remember how the maid and the only guy survived sure death for very stupid reasons
Also the anime tried to make the main pairing het, so it sucked

This is from episode 1, and yes, its' Fukuda at his finniest.

You can expect trash that no-one with a functioning brain would enjoy, yes.

Why ESL no English write grammatically
Cross Ange really makes yuritard seethe, huh?
I remember this show getting shitposted about to death when it was airing. Not so much for the lesbian shit though.
Because Cross Ange was pretty much Correction - The anime. The protagonist only become normal and mentally healthy once she stops being a lesbian.
It upset ANN enough to get everyone on /m/ watching it.
Americans are too dumb to appreciate Cross Ange.
Cross Ange isn't Gundam and it's tomino esque so it's good
This. Cross Ange is a Macross show but gender swapped.
>caring so much about the sexuality of fictional characters
Mc doesn't look dumb to be "relatable"
frick you all
this show made it into fricking SUPER ROBOT WARS games
And SRW is shit, so what?
can someone recommend shows similar to Cross Ange? I happen to be watching it, on the last 3 episodes. Need something to fill the void
No one show can truly claim to have all of the traits that define how Cross Ange fit the "so bad it's good" trope, but look at

Also notice that Ange and Tusk do it for "three" days and nights. The show is also called "Cross" Ange. Quite subtle ain't it.
Fukuda literally said it doesn't matter how they survived, all that matters is that they survived and how it relates to Ange as a character. This is how he does his shows. He's a hack who believes in the destination and not the journey to get there.
>Fukuda literally said it doesn't matter how they survived, all that matters is that they survived and how it relates to Ange as a character.
That's a good point - it's pretty meaningless exactly how they survived in the grand scheme of things - it could be any number of ways and it wouldn't make any difference to the core story and character arcs involved.
It was also part trolling like how he thanked Vivian's VA for her work after a certain episode because she died in every previous Fukuda show.
It's not meaningless to explain how a character that blew themselves up survived. Leaving plotholes like that open allows no consistency in your story and no one can take anything that happens seriously.
