New Fall 2014 anime Cross Ange"s latest episode features weapons from Gundam, Voltes V, and L-Gaim

The new Fall 2014 mecha anime, Cross Ange, is one of the most controversial series this season. The anime has raised a lot of eyebrows recently for its now infamous  “Copy-Paste OP” which really looks like it was taken from the Gundam SEED OPs. It also became controversial because of the various instances of rape and racism shown throughout the anime’s initial episodes.

The anime about a fallen princess forced to fight dragons using giant transforming robots however seems to have redeemed itself quite a lot to mecha fans as it featured a shout out to some well known mecha series like Gundam SEED (which it totally copied its OP from), Gundam SEED Astray, Voltes V, Mobile Suit Gundam, and Heavy Metal L-Gaim. Can you guess some of the weapons?

As you can see, the beam rifle of the Freedom Gundam from Gundam SEED, as well as the beam rifle of the original RX-78-2 Gundam, was featured in the armory along with the Gundam Astray Red Frame’s shield and beam rifle as well as the Buster Rifle from Heavy Metal L-Gaim.

The armory scene also featured Voltes V’s iconic “Laser Sword” which drew a lot of cheers from old school mecha fans.

Now that’s a shout out! Did you correctly guess some of the weapons? Kinda makes you think if its OP was a shout out as well huh?
