Darling in the Franxx
The distant future: Humanity established the mobile fort city, Plantation, upon the ruined wasteland. Within the city were pilot quarters, Mistilteinn, otherwise known as the “Birdcage.” That is where the children live... Their only mission in life was the fight. Their enemies are the mysterious giant organisms known as Kyoryu. The children operate robots known as FRANXX in order to face these still unseen enemies. Among them was a boy who was once called a child prodigy: Code number 016, Hiro. One day, a mysterious girl called Zero Two appears in front of Hiro. “I’ve found you, my Darling.” (Source: Crunchyroll)

***Caution:*** This review contains spoilers for this predictable show. I have specifically and very clearly marked the spoiler sections (there aren't as many as you think, only 3 paragraphs’ worth) so you can still easily read my review and do not need to worry. As for the fans of the show, enter a…
Read full review on AniList →Darling in the Franxx sure was something. By the end of the show, it felt like a whole completely new series from how it started. Franxx is an anime about a post-apocalyptic future where children pilot robots known as FRANXX to fight of these monsters known as Klaxosaurs. It’s a pretty interesting c…
Read full review on AniList →This is my very first review, I'm sorry that my writing isn't particularly good. So, if I had to preface this with something, it would be a trigger warning for any fans of the series. I'm kind of mindboggled that this series has fans, but anyway. Opinion warning! I am highly opinionated and this mad…
Read full review on AniList →I love Darling in the FranXX unashamedly, even if I think it's not perfect. Before I go deep into my thoughts on the show itself, I want to lay the groundwork for why I'm about to defend Darling in the FranXX a bit and why, despite its flaws and my own personal grievances, I rate it fairly highly. E…
Read full review on AniList →“How can I become popular?” Darling in the FranXX is a sad attempt at creating or rather, replicating a legacy act. It took inspiration from what popular shows like Evangelion and Gurren Lagann did, without understanding a thing about what made them work. It tries to expand on ideas without underst…

Read full review on AniList →At the beginning of quarantine I watched Evangelion which is what got me back into my anime phase. For a solid month I acted like a crack addict in rehab as I searched for shows that were similar to Evangelion. When I saw former Gainax employees made a spiritual successor to Evangelion I **** my pan…
Read full review on AniList →Let me preface by saying that I never watched this show during it’s airing. I heard about it, and knew it was a trigger show but didn’t end up sitting down to experience it. For the longest time I avoided this show. Fans avidly drooling over Zero Two, and then a divine fanbase really turned me away…
Read full review on AniList →Wasted potential, an all around mess. Its this show, Darling in the Franxx. Darling in the franxx takes place in the post apocalyptic distant future, where these humongous half robot half lizard like beasts called Klaxosaurs are wreaking havoc on the last of humanity. Humanity has been pushed into t…

Taking quite a bit of its time to set up the world, the characters, and they plot that would ensue. But sadly it falls flat right after episode 15, all of the character development an…
Read full review on AniList →Spoilers ahead. Darling in the FranXX is a mecha romance anime, and from that genre descriptor alone I was interested. I like mechas, I like romance, I should like this show. And I did! ... Sort of. It's complicated. I've thought a lot about this show. This will be rambley. Let's start with its mo…
Read full review on AniList →Copied from my MAL account: [link ](https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=283831) Darling in the FranXX is best described as a failed experiment, although that might not be entirely true in the sense that it certainly achieved widespread appeal and amassed a considerable following of its own. Thr…
Read full review on AniList →<center>After watching this series for the 2nd time and truly paying attention to the plot, all I can say is that it was like I've never seen it in the first place.

Read full review on AniList →(spoilers follow) Darling in the Franxx is truly special. It is bold and brash. It is the apex of slice of life and the midpoint of mech anime and action. It is the epitome of character design philosophy and the downfall of world-building. Darling in the Franxx has incredible triumphs and disappoint…

Read full review on AniList →<p align= "justify">Darling In The Franxx is different from other mecha anime because it features a unique but unconventional robot.

Read full review on AniList →I watched the anime some months ago, but it still feels like I watched it only yesterday. It is truly an amazing anime -I personally just don’t really like the end-.
