Cross Ange is so underrated, and the soundtrack is just one of the things that made it really good. It's definitely an adult mecha anime, what with its sex and violence, but it has stellar production values and great (if somewhat nonsensical) plot. It's definitely not an anime for everyone, as some might be turned off by the rampant fanservice, but I consider it a "guilty pleasure" anime, kind of in the same vein as High School DxD. By the way, here are the lyrics (I think) to this song, but I don't know what language they're in. Maybe Latin? Zefita riva wisti ne Aklontia vade efferto Morta kostuna endina Fatine aruwi kustu ha Sontia fatine pratina aruku ne Zertia kustuna arevio forutina ah Rei dei tei rifonte Rei dei tei rifonte Faritie murdu Faritie kristi Yeta kudi ya sonti ya Zefita riva wisti ne Aklontia vade efferto Morta kostuna endina Fatine aruwi kustu ha
@@prime8911 A bit late, but, as a german I can say that this is definitely not german. I suppose it is a fantasy language like the soundtracks from Nier. Or it is a language I never heard of lol
It is definetly neither german nor latin, not even church latin ^^' (fyi: latin used in church has a bit different grammar and the vocabulary can have different meaning in contrast to roman latin)
This is not the kind of anime I would like so I would never have discovered this amazing OST if it wasn't by Akiko Shikata, who happens to be my favorite singer. I love this music, it's inspiring.
I love Cross Ange! I've been in an 8 year showhole, since the last episode aired here, in 2015. I named my 1983 Chevy Impala Villkiss, because it's a fitting name for such a machine
This transformation music is the bomb & worth the listening. I do wonder if they'll do a remake & do it this time without the fan service or create two remakes? Let me know if I'm off track here with this idea of mine.
With all the gold, I would relate it more to Strike Freedom. But yeah, all the mech designs envoke Gundam aesthetics. Ryukishi being a version of (♾️?) Justice gundam
Villkiss would be great in a Gundam anime show. Only 2 Norma with royal blood piloted Villkiss. No more no less. They were from two different families. Ange and Jill. Galia and Misurugi. For years, Jill waited for a chance to set the Norma free.
@@AlexEternalChamp he’s a character who actively works against the world building of the story. He gave the mana users a real justification for their bigotry, and derailed the shows themes on bigotry and people are more than their first impression into a story of how god is evil because he’s a manipulative rapist. His half of the story really dropped in quality compared to when Julio was the main antagonist. Embryo cannot work without an extensive rewrite.
@@jamesxiaolong2199 that i agree to a certain degree, he couldve been better written. Disagree on how his story didnt work. Theres good room for improvement but embryo did his job as a villain
@@jamesxiaolong2199 the show wouLdve benefited heavily for being 50 episode show because several thingd happened in very quick.succesion theres no argument there. Like i said definitely room from improvement but at the same time i dont think it was bad to the point "man story makes no sense", which is a complain ive hears from quite a few people and it seems to me they are the ones making no sense. Again theres a few things which definitely could use some work but overall i enjoyed most characters and the story (with a few exceptions). Embryo overall was a good villain because of hateable he is. Both him and Jill made a good job being completely garbage creatures. I first played the game SRW-V and during the story i actually felt bad when jill died in the game but after seeing her full personality in the show i said "good riddance s c u m!"
Totally agree man! This anime i never seen before until now and I love it. Story is a lot better than darling of the Franxx. The mechs look like actual mechs and is also great design.

Ya know, if it wasn't for the ridiculous, superbly annoying fan service/uwu fell into ur crotch x3 moments, I would LOVE to recommend this anime to people. I know not everyone is as bothered by this, but I didn't come to "World-ending mech angel vs dragons with commentary on social injustice anime" to see a dude fall into a girl's crotch. And it wasn't even funny like Highschool DxD with the bullet dodging boobs, because at least that's so absurd it's hilarious. Plus DxD was ridiculous and not-serious from the get go, whereas this anime was serious, so it felt like such pointless and gross disruption to the story. Akiko Shikata soundtrack + cool concepts is what carried it for me. Overall good anime but I _despise_ the fan service so much.
@@jamesxiaolong2199 story telling is good, animation is smooth, ost are awsome and you're never bored. There's everything you need to call the show objectively good. No way to argue that.
