Also, it may be just me, but I have a wacky theory that anyone who has had lines in the previews is actually safe through the anime.
So far, people who have had voiceovers in the previews: Ange Salamandinay Momoka Tusk Hilda (aka Ange's harem ends here) Vivian Chris Rosa Salia (ew) Sylvia (ew) Anyone else is liable to very much get whacked. Hence, that Ersha hasn't had one yet is a bit worrisome. |

It's funny to me: the creators of Cross Ange got criticised by people for making a show that they felt was cynical and exploitative and also said the show wasn't made in a vacuum; it reflected the creator's (negative) thoughts and understanding about people and the world. Then you find out the (false) world of Cross Ange was made by a cynical person who maintains it through exploitation and his world wasn't made in a vacuum either; it reflects his thoughts and understanding about people.....which happen to be cynical and exploitative. It's all rather fitting.
I think those chars are the most likely to survive, funnily enough. Last edited by Ryuga; 2015-02-19 at 13:07. |

So far, all killed named characters were adults, villains and mail-pilots with very little characterisation and there are plenty of them left to be sacrificed in the last six episodes. Chris' and Rosalie's first and only preview voice-over was in the last preview and there are five previews left. |

That goes without saying. Either the staff no longer has any idea what to do and are just winging it, or they are buying time for the finale, in which case shows this series didn't need to be two-cour.

That could be just a corruption of Glaive, which Hilda currently pilots.
Personally, I think the series has gotten better. My issues are that they're taking their time revealing things and moving on, they repeat old info unnecessarily, and Ange's wariness of fighting against Embryo during the DRAGON arc could've been slightly better written. Other than that, I like what the series is doing currently. |

It's also shown in the new OP. Her Glaive was recoloured (orange) and handed down to one of the new rookies. |

Wow, that's certainly something you'll only know by freeze-framing. You sure it doesn't mean something else? It has "next" by it. Why have that for someone who's dead?
You mean the AW-CBR115 designation? All the Glaives have that.

Grave is Engrish for Glaive. Ange's harem (that is, Ange, Vivian, Hilda, Tusk, and Salako), and for bonus points, Vivian's mommy better live through the anime. The rest can die for all I care, though it'd be nice to have Salako's two lieutenants (Kaname and Naga) survive. Jill will probably die, sadly. |

More the HL (initials for Hilda) plus the CBR115 number, all the custom Para-mails have the pilot's initials in their numbers.
I want everyone except Embryo to survive lol. After all the nonsense everyone's gone through, I don't think anyone deserves to die. Not even Sylvia. Last edited by Ryuga; 2015-02-20 at 12:14. |

It's just that some people working on the anime industry can't imagine having girls on screen without making them moe or covering them in fanservice. Fukuda said he doesn't know how to do moe so erotic content was the only choice.
