Anime Review: Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo (Fall 2014)

I've seen some praise to this how but most complains. Well I am on not so good side. It's a show that you won't remember two days after watching.

First of all the animation is terrible. If you don't want to have naked scenes then please don't don't do it. Basically every time (and there were dozens) a tit pop off or their genitalia showed it was horrible. They had no nipples whatsoever and the genitalia were non-existent (in both sexes). It was horrible to behold. At times I thought it was a censored version but alas it was not. The censored version had mist and such. The uncensored it was breasts with no nipples and so on. Horrible. Either you do it OR please don't go half way.

The characters are there - Ange it's a good characters. In the beginning she is a snorted high heels princess who turn into the scorn of society and she must deal with it. There are a handful of episodes where they deal with this - her fall - and they turn out okay.

Then the other characters, almost all females - in the beginning hate Ange and then follow her to the end of the world. But I must say, that each one is quite different and a different idea and motive - which felt good.

The male characters are only two. One is the one our main character gets in love and the other is the main antagonist who wants to make Ange her wife. The love counterpart doesn't take that much screen time which was good - I was afraid that he would overlook Ange saving her every time but that didn't happen that often. Unfortunately the ending was not that good.

In this kind of anime, spoilers ahead, you've got your main protagonist who is helped by a lot of people. Either the author/creator kills a couple of the friends of our main protagonist to help her growth or not. In this case, a lot of people died - but usually not that important people or only bad people. There was not good people dying to make Ange grow. It's the typical - everything is fine when it ends fine. She got to defeat the bad guy with the help of all her friends and lover and so on... bah. 

There were a lot of criticism of women depicted here - well yeah. Some "raped"; take advantage of other, cheat, kill, manipulate and so on - so what? Fuck it. If men do it - "They are men - what do you expect" but when woman do it  "The one who created this is a pig, hate women and probably racist  and other vile things".

Grow up snowflake society! 

Women are as crappier as Men.
Black person can be as bad as White person.
And overall - who gives a crap? Aren't we all humans? So we can be 100% bad or 100% good - or any number inbetween. That's what we are. Stop blaming white people. That's also racism you know? And overall - crap. This was done by a Japanese company who doesn't give a crap about SWJ. Thank the anime gods! 

Just one more thing - this script was done by a woman ;)
