So as many of you know, when it comes to these forgotten animes, most of them are ones that were my favorite and this one is no exception. This is an anime that I think got over looked due to how graphic it could be and I think for some that overshadowed the story. The anime that is the topic today is the one and only Cross Ange.
Cross Ange premiered during the fall 2014 season alongside some pretty heavy hitters such as Seven Deadly Sins and an anime that you probably didn't watch called Shirobako. For a little backstory Cross Ange takes place in a world where you either have a power called Mana or you don't and if you don't then your basically a second class citizen and this goes double for Ange because she is from the royal family yet has no mana so she is disowned. Ange gets sent to this island where all the girls who don't have mana go and live out their days fighting dragons.
I would say that a lot of the stuff that takes place on the island could be the reason that the show has become forgotten because there are some scenes that are a bit hard to watch because they are unexpected and for me personally some of the character deaths really hit hard. Once you get past that though the story really picks up and it becomes a story of acceptance and a very well done one at that.
If you have not seen the anime by chance I would highly recommend it, I gave it a 9/10 on Myanimelist. The series should not be to hard to find if you do want to watch it, im pretty sure most of the legal sites except Crunchyroll should have it available to watch so I hope you enjoy.
Thank you for reading and I hope you all enjoy!
MAHO OUT
