because yuri is shit.

Yeah, you are retard. And newfag at that. Both shows had huge views on Niko, VVV was the most popular and discussed show both on /a/ and 2ch - more talked about even than SnK. Come back when any other show on /a/ gets 3500k post topics before pushed to page 10, or have 7k worth of posts in multiple topics during livestream

The fact shows dont sell does not correlate with amount of people who watched, discussed and enjoyed it.

Ange hands down. But Embryo's actions while singing it felt really powerful.

Have to agree. "Penal battalion prison lesbians piloting giant robots to mass exterminate interdimensional laser lizards for cash" was a madly entertaining ride to be on.

To be fair that wasn't exactly a song. It was the harmonic key of the universe, which coincidentally sounded like a song.

The trained soldiers who invaded Arzenal only used mana shields.
Momoka created mana shields, used Mana to cushion a high speed fall, rammed a vehicle into a guy who was for all ends and purposes god, and even resisted for a brief moment said god's mental control.
Top meido indeed.

Sylvia was a formidable combatant despite her age and sheltered lifestyle. She was obvious proficient with small arms and her bayoneted rifle. And she was outright surgical with a whip. Combined with her "flexible morality" and her lack of regard for the sanctity of human life she was truly a dangerous foe.

I think yuri is cute but I can't fap to it, even if it turns me on a little it doesn't have enough happening.

But yuri relationships are alright as long as it has proper development. I think CA did it just fine.
Why would you intentionally stop yourself from watching a show or enjoying it because of a side relationship or yuri undertones? That's silly anon and you're silly.

Ange didn't give a shit. There was nothing to go back to, and she could not possibly give less of a fuck about the surviving manas. They can rebuild or rot away, she doesn't care. She's got her cafe and that's good enough for her.

I remember I got really into overthinking the economy of Arzenal and how depressing it all was from a sociological viewpoint. Especially the festa episode was full of stuff that could be viewed as subtext even though I'm dead certain the show's creators only barely put any thought into it themselves. Discussing things like how Jasmine was making bank on peddling surplus merchandise of Perolina to Arzenal's preteens long after the rest of the world stopped caring about the mascot, or stuff like how the festa's carousels ridden by the kids were poorly maintained pieces of aged junk, I really enjoyed talking about all of that.

People always say this about fanservice shows, but it's patently false. Fanservice shows need doujins the MOST! We get cockteased for 13-26 episodes, and never get a release. Doujins are necessary to go past that final line that even the most daring of shows will not cross.

It sold 9.36k on average, which is not even the year end tally, so probably higher. It was either the third or the fourth best selling show of the season.

It was popular in Japan, and decently recieved on most other anime sites, but quickly forgotten.

I think it was due negative situations occurred with Fukuda overseen the series.

Also Nana didn't like Ange, but If there's a new Cross Ange project Nana would do it for the money.

Not every Bandai/Sunrise series is a hit but their ability to score overwhelming sudden franchise starter megahits out of nothing and next to no expectations is absolutely uncanny when it works which seems to be at least once every couple years. It's the fact that they tend to do it without relying on any pre-established popularity in an era where almost all original anime IP's are crashing and burning while nobody else seems to be able to do this with regular frequency that tends to set them apart and make people think that everything they do is a hit.

That's fucking ridiculous considering it may be Sunrise's worst animation ever and the sub-studio that did it (13 AKA Nerima, same one as Valvrave) closed down right after possibly do to piss poor quality control. Then again the show had a lot of brand power going for it and that carries a lot of weight in Japan.

Basically what I've learned from Cross Ange and Valvrave is the higher the number of the sub studio and the later it was founded the shittier the animation quality except seemingly for 8.

I don't think it was shut down because of CA. It was probably reorganization.

Embryo had God-like powers and managed to lose. He is more incompetent than Voldemort.
>>
>>138931188

This is the studio that seemingly doesn't have to do any work to make money because they can just rely on their treasure trove of licenses and royalty makers. Virtually the only studio besides maybe Khara with Eva that is the license granter rather than the other way around. I mean while everyone else is scrambling to make shitty light novel adaptations they can just pump out some Gundam OVAs or whore out Love Live to some other company to use as a marketing tool and be fine. I fucking hate it though cause it means we barely get anything from them anymore these days. I knew if Love Live especially became a hit it'd pretty much ruin the studio so of course it goes ahead and becomes pretty much the smash hit of the decade that overtakes even Madoka.
>>
>>138931322
On the other hand having a "financial independence" of sorts allows them to do experimental works, like Cross Ange itself.
>>
>>138931274

Well Bandai Namco has been changing the names of everything within the company constantly so that it has their name at the head of it and seems to be forever reorganizing things so that would hardly be surprising. Lantis gets to keep it's name for now but I'm totally expecting it to get renamed to Bandai Namco Music Company or something at some point.

Is there a problem? She still pulls off the twintails, the magical girl cosplay and being an anal princess perfectly.

>>138931314
That's because Embryo thought with his dick when it came to Ange. He kept thinking he can NTR her away from Tusk once she had gotten a taste of a god D from him personally. It's pretty much been shown Embryo has no idea how to treat a lady right without his powers.

VVV doesn't have the tongue-in-cheek quality to it like Cross Ange does. Plus it gets a lot further into edge territory.

It also helps that Ange is an unapologetic bitch who kicks the asses of those who cross her, whereas Haruto was just a whiny little bitch like most modern protagonists.
