[@flambelk4489]

This, the end of the first half of Darling in the Franxx was glorious. Episodes 13, 14 and 15 were such a rollercoaster of strong emotions to me, very few times I've found myself so damn invested in the development of the relationship between two characters as I was at that point. In their own way, both the end of the first and the second half of Darling in the Franxx are impossible to forget.

[@iriya5598]

It is like people never watched a Trigger (I know about A1) show. Yes, it was rushed and maybe little out of budget, but the ending itself, last 15 or 10 minutes or so, were worth all of it for me. The show just changed its perspective and focus at the end, and most of the watchers decided to not follow it, creating a massive ball of something stinky in the internet. Maybe ongoing thing was part of the problem, as I watched it completed, in 4 days, and did not felt this "dip" that much.

[@eugenefindit]

The best way I can think of to describe Darling In The Franxx is this: The anime is like an essay. A very well-written, detailed essay that keeps you interested and engaged in for most of the way. But then, either there was a word limit or time constraint, the writer could not afford to write as detailed and well structured as before. There may have been a good setup with all the interesting plot points and ideas already planned out. But due to pressure, they just get thrown into the passages without enough thought. Which led to a less than impressive conclusion. And I am pretty sure we have all been there at some point when we were doing our exams. 😁

[@terence2880]

This anime honestly had potential especially for how well they did its worldbuilding that it could've compensated for some episodes in the first few parts of the arc, but then again, A1 and Trigger failed to do so. They didn't plan ahead. It is as if they were a step behind. As a result, they just destroyed an anime that could've been up there among the pretty decent debut anime of 2018 and could even make things better in the next few seasons, but no. It made me feel sad for this anime. It is as if they're making a 6 month old try to forcefully walk immediately without thinking about developing the baby's other important aspects

[@eugenefindit]

@@terence2880 I totally understand that. I was prepared to have this as a possible Top 10 of the year. It was honestly such a shame really. I really don't know if they forgot that they only had 24 episodes to cover everything or if they were just planning the story as they went along. 😁

[@emeraldsolace8434]

Yeah, after about episode 16 the show started to feel rushed and predictable. Which is a shame as it had so much potential. I don’t blame the directors for this though, they just didn’t have enough episodes to fully develop the characters and story.

I'm late to the show for this series, as I just finished it about 30 minutes ago. But I must say I absolutely loved it. Within the first few episodes I picked up on the underlying theme of the complex, beautiful mess that we call relationships. And with that in my mind as I watched it, the evolution of the characters just took me for such an emotional ride. I am far from an emotional person, for a long time I've been a logical person. But this show made me tear up a few times. I definitely agree that the build up to the finale was stale and not interesting, but the last episode was so beautiful. This anime will join some of my favorites among Your Lie in April and The Seven Deadly Sins (don't judge).

Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Neon Genesis Evangelion (although it shouldn't be seen as a pure mecha anime), any from the Gundam franchise, and many more? I do believe you need to explore alot more mecha anime before you declare Darling in the FranXX a top 5 of all time anime for you. Yes, it caught me with really good worldbuilding at the start, but thats it. It looked like it borrowed NGE and Gurren Lagann's concepts but failed to create a good identity for itself while destroying itself even more due to bad writing other than some episodes of the first arc (I kinda like some), and just overdosed it with so many plot holes and unrealistic reactions after that arc. I even thought that a proper rebellion arc would build up in episode 16, but its like Hiro never gave a damn after realizing how much pain they gave Zero Two, and just shoved it all with a space battle no one but studio Trigger wanted. It had so much potential to atleast bring itself up after a bumpy first arc, but they just took it all away. A1 pictures and Trigger had a chance to either call a short hiatus and then split the season into two parts or extend season 1 into 2 seasons so that they could reevaluate and gather themselves up just like what the writers and other members of Attack on Titan did (but oh god they extended it so much I was extremely frustrated with season 2 and its cliffhangers and fillers but atleast they didn't rush so much) but no. Its like they were just assigned to just finish the anime and nothing else. They didn't carefully plan. I feel extremely sad on how they handled this show that could've atleast had a proper run in its first season so that they could improve this anime in the future, but then it feels like the chances of getting season 2 is nearly impossible, and the only possible savior of this story is to fix it in the manga versions which is actually doing well based on the number of copies sold compared to blue-ray sales of the anime so far

I thinking maybe someone younger will find it boring or stupid, but the way they went about things I thought was different. Let me tell y'all that wedding episode was the cutest shit i've seen.

[@rainix7817]

I really felt a strong connection between the anime and myself. It was humans, relationship, teenagers and all of that. It almost felt like i was apart of squad 13. I just understood the anime much better than other animes where they have superpowers and stuff like that. Enviroment was looking good, relationship between hiro and 02 was beautiful, i liked everyone from squad 13 and to see such an ending that they had just left me sad and empty. Seeing hiro and 02 pretty much die, and squad 13 never seeing them again just didnt sit right, felt like they took something from me and i can't get it back. Well maybe if we get a season 2 or a remake of the ending, which is highly unlikely, but i hope they give us something. I guess what im trying to say is, it felt painful following zero two and 02 all the way only to see them die. As squad 13 said, they were the ones who were the most humans, they taught everyone else how to live. But they never got to live that life themselves. I pretty much just wanted to see everyone reunited, happy and just live life. I'm pretty sure everyone was hoping to see 02 and hiro together happy in the end, and squad 13 ofc. Sorry i just wanted to get this out there.

In hindsight, Darling in the Franxx was Trigger trying to do Kiznaiver again but with Gurren Lagann mixed in.

[@nutella7162]

Best explanation hands down. Though, I have a feeling Kiznaiver had the same problem as Darling: it started strong with a good theme and palette of characters but mid way turned 180 and went into a spiralling hole of confusion. Like Kiznaiver started as a psychological mystery drama but had a cheesy romance soap opera like twist that went nowhere.

[@magicianofd8434]

Thank you for the video. I think that this is the best review I ever watched on this anime. I have watched a lot of shows in my life ; some had insane stories, unforgettable graphic designs, and some were overall 'better shows' than Darling in the FranXX. But this is by far the series I think about the most since I watched it. The 15 first episodes are according to me simply perfect. Learning emotions, learning how to discover a person, to catch feelings, to question our existence are so omnipresent in our lives that I never felt so much connected to any fictional creation before. The rythm is great, the musics are a perfect match for the mood the anime wants to put you in, there is a part of mystery in every character, every interaction, letting the viewer think a lot. I watched it when I was 16, I am now 22 and this show still hits me extremely hard, I'd say it even hits me harder than when I discovered it. I get why lots of people don't like it, but as it is said in this review, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but only to people that can build a strong connection with what occurs in the show. The last episodes are questionnable, I totally admit it and I even agree. However, I still find lots of elements that might make this ending not that off topic with the rest of the show... This was honestly the best journey I've experienced, and I am thankful that I watched it when it was released, one episode per week, making this journey even longer.

“Hey we’re you my darling from back then? Then what have I been doing all this time? - Zero Two

[@EchotheAndroidNeko]

The reception to Zero Two was so infuriating to me, mainly because I think I came into the story from the wrong angle. I was mainly watching the show from the perspective of a post apocalyptic narrative with the relationship drama as a sideline, not as my main viewing focus. As such watching Ichigo loose her shit at Zero Two for being a bigger threat to the team's safety felt completely justified. From the perspective of the squad leader, completely disregarding the ulterior motives Ichigo had regarding Hiro, Zero Two was such a wildcard on the team to the point where it put everyone else in extreme danger. As such the admiration from the community directed at her character just didn't jive with me that well, which ultimately negatively impacted my enjoyment of the show considering it also seemed to be the priority of the direction of the series to front-line the Hiro/02 relationship. And then the mid-series twist happened and everything went to absolute shit. The remaining parts of what I enjoyed about the show got thrown out the window with the subpar world building in the latter half and I completely lost interest. I guess thats my fault for not enjoying the show for what it was and focusing on the wrong thing but it still killed my enjoyment of what I now view as a mostly mediocre show. I"m sorry fam, the ending is paramount and all.

My experience with this anime is something else. I remember picking it up on an evening, and watching upto ep8 in one go, and then I woke up next morning and watched it upto ep15 and was soooo fuckin happy after that. I went out and hanged out a bit with my friends, becoz squad 13 made me remember my own friends.... On returning home I wrote a paragraph in my diary about how I was feeling after watching this anime. I decided not to watch any more episodes that day, becoz I was soo fill already. The next day I watched upto ep24 in one go and I HATED IT. I went to MAL, straight up rated it a 3, and forgot all about it. A month later I was reading my diary, and I stopped to think, "wait, did I really like this anime so much at some point?". And then I gave it a re-watch. And honestly, my opinions changed. This time knowing what is going to happen in the ending, I focused more on the emotions, characters, dialogues and those stuff; and the same ending that made me laugh at a point, made me cry and send to a depressed state of mind. Now I have completely changed as a person, and tend to see things more positively. There is a beauty to this thing honestly.

Its my favorite anime in existence it came to me when I was going through a tough time and just under four months after it ended I went through the death of my father. I watched it again and I can look back fondly of this being the last anime I completed with my Dad before he passed. He didn't understand my obsession and drive towards the one anime girl I consider a Goddess, Zero Two. But I can truly tell you that Zero Two has been my best companion although she is not real I felt like I understood her. She was what I found so profoundly beautiful along with her relationship with Hiro. I am very tomboyish and I find myself doting on people who have weaknesses I can sympathize with so I hope I can one day enter a relationship where I can be the Hiro to someone else's Zero Two.

A very well-explained unbiased analysis to a series I fell in love with. As a viewer in his early mid 30s with the autism spectrum disorder previously known as Asperger's Syndrome, seeing the relationships of the characters take shape was the part I found more entertaining, despite my ordeals on trying to make friends. Even those I call my friends feel more like acquaintances, because I don't feel the deep bonds of friendship. I especially have trouble with the females, especially those I take an interest on. Despite that, I can feel the love that many show for me, so I trust in them, as such that I can open myself to some I feel bonded. Love, in its many forms can be clearly seen in DitF, and not just the romantic type, which many people associate the word "love" with. I think that message of love and all that it entails goes over the heads of many viewer with all the sexual symbolisms, teen angst problems, and rushed storytelling, which, in my opinion, would have been better if they have taken the Eureka Seven route and make it longer than just the 24 episodes we got. Overall, a great series if you overlook the flaws, and one of those series I won't ever forget. It's on my rewatch list with many others that I want to watch and rewatch.

Honestly wherever I go, people talk about how Darling in the Franxx messed up after ep 15 and quite honestly I HIGHLY disagree. From episode 16, this anime tackled so many problems with our generation, from depending on missions and not properly socialising, the adults (the man) being in control of what you do, think, say, eat, etc. And I loved its out of world feeling it gave us cause that's how love can be portrayed. Going to the ends of galaxies and universes for your love and fighting to the end. Let's also talk about the cast. I feel they were perfect. Everyone had their own character building moments. From Zero-two tortured past and Hiro's love for her despite her flaws and how she encourages him to strive for more. Not to mention how toxic the relationship was. Very relatable. Ichigo's love triangle was realistic, dealing with loving another yet being committed to someone else and her feeling threatened by Zero-two. This anime also tackled the LGBTQ community as well! Kokoro's issues with the 2 guys and dealing with the first pregnancy humanity has ever seen in a long time. The ones looking after the kids and how they grew to actually treat them as their own kids. I could go on and on but damn. This anime was very thought provoking, emotional and inspirational to say the least. I shed tears at the ending speeches and gave me hope to love again.

I really loved this show, I started watching it without knowing anything about it, so I wasn't influenced by others. I need to admit that the last 4-5 episodes wasn't the best and probably these have ruined the show's finale, but I loved it and accepted the conclusion as you said in your video. I agree with you when you say that this show isn't for all. It enters on my top 5 anime, the characters and their development was what I liked it most.

they really needa do a re of this anime and do something where since hero is turning into a klaxosaur he’s been hallucinating and since it’s the first human to start turning into klaxosaur he’s able to predict the future and because of this he realizes that the path they were taking would only lead to the extinction of humanity so because of this they decide to team up with the klaxosaur and rebuild earth by having children and creating new and improved franxx and kill off the virm that’s the only way i could see it redeeming himself

You just explained the ending of the show. This is exactly what happens it was just fast forwarded to thousands of years

season 2 pitch: hiro wakes up after the events of ep 15, onwards was just a dream, bam the show carrys on like the ending never happened.

The ending was so emotional, I cried

"We all know who the real best girl is (shows Kokoro)" This is why you are the best anime reviewer

Late to this, but I'm happy to see someone else point this out. I'm biased in admitting MitsuKoko has become one of my favourite OTPs of all them. They're the reason I even started watching DiTF despite everyone saying what a mess the show is. I ain't saying Kokoro's perfect, but she's human & given the show is about angsty teens figuring themselves out; Idk how to articulate it, but I find that endearing. It's why I like Kokoro's arc, why her relationship with Mitsuru warmed my heart & I adore his character development. I could gush out an entire essay on this, but I just wanted to share how happy I am that other people recognise Kokoro's potential/worth (Idk the right word I'm looking for)

@@HinagaMoizaf I am sorry but I still can't forget how she just left Futoshi. To this day, I look away if she appears on screen.

[@HinagaMoizaf]

@@HypeBeast-nz7tg That's completely valid 🙌 Just personally I adore Kokoro :) & think the hate on her is a bit much

This anime had a special place in my heart so when I saw the ending I fricking cried like like a baby. I will never forget this anime.

Same bro like it's my top 3 now

Life was so easy before watching this anime...

Seeing this retrospective, I'm reminded of just how many ideas I saw taken from Xenogears in this show, from the bright yellow city visuals to the Woman/man one winged angel allegory, the costumes/uniforms. In the end ofc Xenogears was just so much better h-heh :p

I think the relationship they build was beautiful showing that part of love where the other person completes you
