It feels like Valvrave and that's not a good thing. Ange's confrontation with the mother of the Norma child made her come off as pretty unlikable. That and her instant karma are examples of the extreme cases of prejudice that were super-apparent in Valvrave. The sudden twist in the origin story came out of nowhere and the final scene of the episode felt EXTREMELY unnecessary and like it was only there for shock value.

Could it change over time? Probably, but I wouldn't bet on it. It annoys me when bad anime gets top-notch treatment in the quality department. Always feels like a waste.


And then on the flip-side, the Deadpool episode of Marvel Disk Wars was fantastic. And probably one of the better animated representations of Deadpool we've gotten.

Agreed on both fronts.

Thing is, Cross Ange isn't a very original anime. It's very noticable how many of it's concepts are derived from other series.

Dragons VS Mecha? Escaflowne did that first.

Even the whole thing with the Normas have been done before, in a series called Broken Blade.

The whole speeder bike/cricket thing they were playing is baically Quiddich.

I think the only cool thing about this show are the mechas. I dig how they transform into this cool cool looking motorcycle/jet vehichle thing, even if the design seems flawed and impractical in a battle situation. But even then, it's hard not looking at the mech's aesthetic and not think of Armored Core or something.

And everything about the royal family screams Geass.

Been watching the 2011 HunterXHunter series. Up to the Greed Island arc and I can firmly say without a shadow of doubt that it's one of if not the best shounen series I've seen in my life... still doesn't beat out Bleach as my favorite though.

Anyone know what day of the week Psycho-Pass 2 should be airing? So many western shows start this week too that I feel like I need to start scheduling time to watch everyone else around them.

Why are Toei wasting their time on Disk Wars Avengers when they should be making Deadpool: The Anime?

I dunno. But I think mad house would be better for Deadpool due to they did do the other focus on one marvel character anime

And they were all awful. Even with a considerably cheaper budget and somewhat-ridiculous premise Disk Wars far outclasses the Madhouse series'.

Because Deadpool is an over rated, over hyped, loser rip off character.
