On the surface, Cross Ange is just another fanservice mech anime. The first few episodes will filter out a lot of people before of the gore.
If you stick with it, you get one of the more aggressively feminist anime out there. And I do mean aggressive. Every character arc is a metaphor for something women either have to deal with primarily or exclusively in society. The show actively punishes the female characters who can’t recognize themselves as victims and rewards the ones who do and work to fix their situations. The final villain is an incel power fantasy. I’ve seen next to no discussion on Cross Ange in this context online.









How old do you have to be to stop swallowing your comm badge? Aren’t they all adults in the show?
