* PlayingAgainstType: [[spoiler: Creator/YuiOgura as a villain. Not bad actually.]]
* PlayingWithCharacterType: [[spoiler: Creator/CaitlynnFrench voices Chris, a shy, quiet, and reserved girl that fills into the characters she voices. Except, Chris's shy personality is more relating to the fact that she has a lot of personal issues.]]

** While they haven't met on-screen, Creator/HoukoKuwashima (Vivian) and Creator/ToshihikoSeki (Embryo). Cue fans claiming Vivian will die thanks to [[ChronicallyKilledActor her seiyuu.]] [[spoiler:She doesn't.[[note]]In fact, aside from Ange, she's appeared in almost every episode of the series (aside from episode 9)[[/note]]]]

** From Anime/KillLaKill [[Creator/AmiKoshimizu Ersha]] is Ryuko, [[Creator/YukariTamura Hilda]] is Nui, [[Creator/ToshihikoSeki Embryo]] is Senketsu.

** This show also reunites a lot of cast from another AllStarCast Anime, ''Anime/DogDays''. To note, [[Creator/MamoruMiyano Tusk]] and [[Creator/NanaMizuki Ange]] are childhood friends (Tusk even sounds like and behaves like Cinque!); [[Creator/EriKitamura Salia]] becomes a magical girl; [[Creator/KosukeToriumi Julio]] is a demon lord; [[Creator/AmiKoshimizu Ersha]] is a CoolBigSis and [[Creator/YuiHorie Sala]] and [[Creator/NanaMizuki Ange]] are spirited rivals yet best friends (Millhiore and Nanami); [[KanaAsumi The Dragon Priestess]] is a minor ninja goddess; [[Creator/SumireUesaka Momoka]] is a dragon priestess.

** Creator/SumireUesaka, when asked in a radio [[spoiler: about Momoka's fate is that she only said that "I would really like to think she was still alive."]] It wasn't even much of a spoiler comment but then he went on a rant and temporarily locked his Twitter account. [[StreisandEffect Which then convinced some fans that]] [[spoiler: Momoka would survive.]] [[spoiler:They were right.]]

** There's also the backlash that he made when Creator/SumireUesaka, when asked in a radio [[spoiler: about Momoka's fate is that she only said that "I would really like to think she was still alive."]] It wasn't even much of a spoiler comment but then he went on a rant and locked his Twitter account till the show was over. [[StreisandEffect Which then convinced some fans that]] [[spoiler: Momoka may still be alive.]] [[spoiler: And then episode 22 aired.]]

** Many predicted that Creator/EmilyNeves and Creator/AustinTindle would play Ange and Tusk for the English dub. They were right.

* IKnewIt: Fans correctly guessed that the Toshihiko Seki-voiced Embryo would get to sing.

%%* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to the staff, Zola was supposed to die during the defense of Arzenal, however Creator/MichikoNeya had other plans so she couldn't stay long for the show.

** The Japanese fandom's nickname for Tusk is "Kirito [[note]]No, no, not THAT [[Anime/SwordArtOnline Kirito]][[/note]]", because he looks like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Kira Yamato]] but acts like [[Manga/ToLoveRu Rito Yuuki.]]

** In the English dub, it's not the first time Christina Kelly voiced a pink-haired girl [[Anime/AkameGaKill before]].

* ActorAllusion: [[Creator/EriKitamura Salia]] cosplays as a MagicalGirl. She was a Magical Girl [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure three times]] [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica in the past]] [[Anime/IlSolePenetraLeIllusioni already.]]
** This was clearly invoke during the premiere of Anime/DogDays'' Cinque/Shinku and Nanami gets stranded and Cinque winds up seeing the her naked. A very similar situation happened on the episode that aired the same week.

* CreatorBacklash: Creative Producer Mitsuo Fukuda has [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-01-04/cross-ange-creative-producer-regrets-episode-13-opening/.82878 apologized for episode 13's opening]].

* ActingForTwo: Quite a bit of the cast aside from the main ones also have secondary roles. However, all of them never meet their counterparts[[note]]Save for a brief scene in episode 22 where Emma and Riza share some lines with each other[[/note]] so TalkingToHimself is usually avoided.
** Creator/{{Yukana}} has Emma and Riza, as well as a random robot that Ange and Tusk encounter [[spoiler: in the True Earth.]]

* PlayingWithCharacterType: [[Creator/CaitlynnFrench voices Chris, a shy, quiet, and reserved girl that fills into the characters she voices. Except, Chris's shy personality is more relating to the fact that she has a lot of personal issues.]]

** [[Anime/MissMonochrome As of season 2, The Great Priestess is helping out on Sala's tours]].
