I don't understand hate for Darling in the Franxx...
| Holy shit, was just about to post about Franxx. I literally finished watching it last night and I'm now an emotional wreck.
I'm with you, I absolutely loved the show. It was awesome, and then to my surprise it seems a bunch of people hated it. So many 1/10 Mal reviews...
Either way, idgaf. I personally loved the show, and that's all that matters.
Seeing everyone all grown up really tugs at my heartstrings man.
| Sorry, OP, but we know that you're the 57th Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, and your false-flagging will not help increase Japan's birth rate.
| The mecha part was just shit, it has plot holes and some stuff happens for no reason at all
BUT
the focus on the feelings of the characters and their connections was just awesome, I really liked that part of the anime. I didn't drop it just because of this. They could have done a better job with the main plot, there was a lot of potential, but the "side stories" were just great
| It wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. I still think it's bad because the ending was just too all over the plase. For me, the space part especially ruined the show. I liked when the show got more serious and the plot thickened, but it just went out of control near the end.
Like the Virm. Are you telling me the culmination of possible trillions of intelligent life in the entire universe didn't have anything stronger than some ancient civilization on Earth?
| The Virm needed Doctor Franxx's help how to accomplish their goal? One single human?
Let's say the Virm really are that incompetent or that Klaxosaur technology really is that good. When Apath was pierced by that spear ship thing, it stood there for days. Like the Virm just let it sit there for days when they could've finished it off? They had to wait for some corny bs of everyone holding hands. Goro went on his expedition, came back, and everyone was still holding hands ffs
| I loved it
| It was average to me. Nothing specifically special about it but not entirely bad. I thought shows during the same season like Toji no Miko were more interesting.
| I do not hate it, I do not love it. It's a pretty average anime, it starts greatly but it wastes almost all of its potential after ep 14 ends. It simply starts to seem rushed and poorly written, falling into terrible stereotypes and forcing an unnatural love between the main characters just for the sake of it.
| I can't understand even hype of Darling (except trigger logo in trailer)
| >>0e2bf2 Despite that, he as a human being should be able to realize that he can't turn a blind eye on someone's actions just because 10 years ago he spent a single day with that someone promising something that he doesn't even know what it is.
Flashbacks are not a good way to say that they have a bond.
Anyway, maybe is just how everything post ep 14 is horribly rushed that made their relationship as the usual "let's love each other no matter what because anime".
| Post ep 14 felt like the story telling kinda got pushed too quickly.
Overall I liked the anime.
| I agree that it was rushed, but it was still enjoyable over all.
| Kokoro more like kokwhoro AM I RITE LMAO
| This shit were good until FUCKING SPACE episodes, so fuck it.
| >>387610 Well, that space battle were nothing but a beams on black screensaver with strelitia in center of screen. So, no hype, only disappointment. :(
| I too like space battles, but it was so out of place and bad like the post above says. The whole idea of the Klaxosaur queen was just a deus ex to save the kids from an unfair world. However, that wasn't enough, they had to make everything perfect for the kids so they went through ridiculous hoops and ultimately went with space aliens. It's absurd.
It's like the creator couldn't go through with a bittersweet or sad ending and had to make it a corny and crazy feels good ending.
| The space shit felt very Trigger to me.
| The space was awful. But I was already troubled by the way they were moving past the characters emotional development. It felt incomplete as it could be so much more while showing about the kids getting older in that universe.
(Not a bad time jump to a future where they had their own kids and all was well)
| It's garbage
| its not evangelion.
| I think the reason a lot of people (including myself) dislike the direction the show took in its final episodes could be due to the fact that we had a week or two between each episode to think about the events that occured in the show and how each episodes relate to one another, hense why so many were unsatisfied when it did a 90° turn in its plot and (in my opinion) discarded most of its previous buildup to force in a space arc and feelgood ending.

So it may be that the difference in opinion may be a contrast between the perspective of someone who watched it all in a few sittings vs the perspective of someone who watched the show over the time span of six months.
Viewers who binge the entire show in one to two sittings recieve the entire thing in one large, fast dose, diluting the effect that the large narrative shift has compared to viewers who watched it whilst it was airing.

I think I strongly agree with you here.
I personally watched the show over a about 2/3 weeks and loved it.
I didn't find the space part to be bad at all.
I have noticed that when I watch a show weekly, I don't enjoy it nearly as much as the shows I binge.
I've experienced this with even second seasons of anime I've binged, that week wait really affects the show for me, that's why this time I waited till franxx was complete before watching it.

| I watched it and liked every minute of it, especially when they fucking got to space to fuck the shut out of alien invaders, that was hype. What's not to like?
