Its very rare for me to form such a strong opinion on an anime, but Cross Ange is worth it. It has characters you'll love, a fairly decent storyline once it kicks off and a bad guy that will really make your skin crawl and wish to have horrible things happen to him simply because, despite being fictional, he fucking deserves it.

Its your typical mecha-vs-monster anime in the beginning, but as you learn more about the history of the world its set in it becomes a lot more interesting, going for the throat with plot twists and jaw dropping moments that'll hook and reel you in. There are moments that'll disgust you but not with gore, but with what kind of world it's set in and what kind of people live there, it'll really make you think about how disgusting and petty prejudice really is - for that last point it simply boils down to the very basis of prejudice itself; I hate you, because you're not the same as me.

Watch it. For the love of god just watch it, then pray for uncensored episodes with fan-subs because you know that the official dub will suck and will murder the dialogue.
