Getting sick because different people like different things doesn't sound very healthy. |

Yeeaaa! Lets give blatant Hard Rape in an Anime a pass because its "different". Dont get me wrong, I love anime and Manga and would LOVE to see more of it Dubbed and brought into the US. Saying that though, If they don't massively edit this show when they Dub it, then the repercussions could be quite detrimental for the future import of Anime and manga into the US. |

Must be profitable somewhere down the line seems like the very opposite of supply and demand.
or a rigged dub roulette board landed on Cross Agne during some drug fueled outing. Good Luck. |

Well, then that will lead to Cross Ange not selling well, since it's being slated for home video, not Toonami. Very few people, if any, in the anime community would want to buy a niche show that has been censored. |

Thats why IMO they shouldn't touch this show with a ten... no.. twenty foot pole. It's not worth it. |

I don't think this will have any sort of negative impact on the anime community or industry in the US. Literally none at all. |

If these types of shows had a negative impact on the US anime community or industry, Highschool DxD would have been the show to do it. Cross Ange is just another fanservice-y action show after the shock tactics employed in the first episode. That's really all it is. |

If anything I thought it was more of a spoiler[women's prison esque-strip down-cavity search type thing?] |

There is a definite difference between regular fan-service and Hard Sexual Assault (implied or explicit). Any argument that tries to equate them in any way simply will not wash. |

Let's look at Perfect Blue. Now, that came over in the late 1990's. They dubbed it. You would think, based on its subject matter, that it would end up causing a great deal of damage in the international world but it was actually received well, and became a influential film. Now, I am not saying Cross Ange is going to be influential in any way. But how would you argue a case like Perfect Blue? |

As others have pointed out, this title won't create even the slightest ripple. Just like Ninja Scroll and Wicked City (two anime movies which have clear sexual assault in them) didn't create the slightest ripples in their days; in fact, they were actually quite successful within fandom, and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to call NS in particular a gateway title. CA didn't do anything worse than either of them. Now, does it have content in it that some will find strongly objectionable? Oh, absolutely; in fact, I'd be a little careful about who I recommend it to. It is a mean story about mean, abusive, crass people. But it does have a real story and some ultimately great character development and growth does come out of it - more so, I'd say, than probably 95% of the other anime series to come out in the past year and a half. By this point I think Sentai knows what it's doing on decisions to dub titles. That they announced this dub at all means that they obviously have numbers indicating that it was successful enough to warrant it and don't see it being a problem. |

People still don't know that shows get on Toonami due to huge fanfare (Akame ga Kill, Sword Art Online, DBZ Kai, etc.) or because DeMarco likes them (Parasyte, Michiko to Hatchin, One Piece) or both (AoT, Kill la Kill) and last time I checked Cross Ange has neither, just a trashy poor done show liked by vocal try-hards wanting to speak out amongst the "controversy". If that dumb article of the first episode PV didn't spread most everyone would have written it off, not like you would have missed anything.

@ Mertal : The industry survived Kawajiri's films, Urutsukidoji and a host of other ultra violent animes with no problem at all. Heck Violence Jack was recently published by Discotek again. Where are the pitchforks ? 
Cross Ange is mild in the great scheme of things. It's as much politically correct as Donald Trump is. It isn't bland, joy joy and everybody loves everyone else fare. It's anime like it used to be. Edgy, sexy, uncaring about political correctness or not offending specific demographics. The doctor hasn't prescribed you have to love it. Dont' like it ? Good, go immerse yourself in one of the hundreds of moe-high-school-me-toos dramas. Nothing is lost man. Nothing is lost. |

Hate to break it to you, but you're better off with the censored version. When the censoring is gone, you can see their barbie and ken bodies which just look incredibly awful. Looks way better with the steam and what not hiding them. You can google comparison shots from the uncensored bluray if you want to see what I'm talking about.
I fully agree. Fun and crazy ride.
Women do get spoiler[objectified and sexually assaulted]. However, the exact same thing is done to male characters. So really, the show just likes to shit on pretty much everyone though the female characters far out number the male ones.
There is no clear spoiler[rape] at all in the series, period. Though there were a couple / several instances of spoiler[attempted rapes], not in episode 1 though. The most likely thing happening in episode 1 after the fact is actually spoiler[her being implanted with something. If you've seen them piloting, they have a tail that plugs into them which seems equivalent to how the pilots in the new gundam series plug into their suits.]
Yeah, and I wasn't really expecting that from the first handful of episodes. Ange's character development/growth is definitely on the high end for recent series.
Guessing you won't be back to see this, but what translation error? |
