Darling in the FranXX

Best girl won.

Greatest love story ever told.

How long is the manga going to last?
I don't really care for not-Lala and not-Rito, and even the secondary characters look meh

Why does Sup Forums and MAL think this is a 10/10 AOTY just from episode 1 and won't accept any criticism at all? It's ridiculous.

I like this general.

Become my darling~

Since I see a lot of people contributing the show heavily to one of the two studios involved ( Trigger mostly so )...

I think it’s important to realize that it’s not a Trigger show. It’s also not an A-1 show. It’s a collaboration of talent from both studios most of which date back to Gainax times as well as influence from "outside".

So please treat this as a collaboration of many talented individuals that for the most part have a long history together rather than the achievement of a single studio and hence branding it as a "Trigger Show" or "A-1 Show".

Great first episode, glad to see Trigger is back again.
I'm glad this will be 2 cour, can't wait to see what happens next.

Also, if you dislike the show why are you even here posting shit like this ?

I feel this board lost sight of the actual objective of this place, which should be discussing and enjoying anime together.

So it's like KLK because of its sexual themes, but it also has robots and weekly monsters like TTGL, and the MC is just a generic LN MC and the main girl is just a Manic Pixie Dream Girl with a bit of a nihilistic streak?

So how do you guys picture Hiro's character development will go? Will he grow a pair before the 2nd cour or forever be doomed to the pits of shitposted bland mediocrity and
>muh generic LN MC

So far I like how the shows coming along and Im hopeful Hiro will get more characterization as the story goes on.

Discussion involves pointing out flaws in the series too, faggot.

>you are only allowed to post positive things when discussing anime
So if I didn't think it was completely perfect in every single way then it must mean I think it's 0/10 trash. Where the actual fuck did you get the idea that Sup Forums is supposed to be a hugbox? Did someone on Sup Forums tell you that, judging by your image? If so then you got meme'd on.

Any chance that the BDs will be lewder?

Will her smile stay protected?

Reminder to point your blame towards A-1 and not Trigger

Synopsis says he was kind of a prodigy. I bet we'll find out he has dino DNA or something too.

Then actually provide criticism instead of saying "it's shit" and throwing around buzzwords and calling anyone who disagrees "reddit" or "Sup Forums".

More like succubus worst girl raped the mc in first episode.

I'm assuming he will be special in some way, whether he met Zero Two before and doesn't remember or he has special ability to not get fucked by piloting with Zero Two.
I'm predicting him and Zero Two will reverse roles in the mecha, with him piloting somehow in tandem with Zero Two, and I feel the show will focus on the relationship between the two as they "break out" from their current society.

Cocona should smile more.

ICHIGO > ZERO TWO

Were you even in the previous thread? Your fellow drones were calling anyone who doesn't like generic self-insert MCs "reddit", and also /u/, and also even Sup Forums, and also "normalfag". Completely ludicrous.

She just accepted that she lost.
Do you really want to share the fate of Enafags from last season?
Was never in question

Even in an alternate universe done by another studio Rei can't win

He's cute and that's all I care about.

robot porn when

How do TRIGGERniggers still exist in 2018?

I gave up in the second cours of KLK.

So he's liked by faggots who like twinks. Makes sense.

How can you say he's a "generic self-insert MC" if we only saw one single episode, though?

Final verdict on this scene?

The MC is a beta. He should learn from the old man

P.S. Here is your flower post for Darling in the Franxx:

Stamen: male part of the flower that produces pollen

Pistil: female reproductive part of a flower, needs to be pollinated

How come guys are allowed to like cute girls in their anime simply because they're cute but the same does not apply to girls?

pretty good.

SOTY.

Because they are no girls on Sup Forums

Shameless fanservice-y but got me rock-hard nonetheless.

02 is a miracle of the universe and does unspeakable things to my cock

Stop fooling yourself.

>every day until I like it

Is Zero Tsu a pure maiden?

But Simon used to be a beta too.

I'm kinda waiting for someone to explain what's particularly generic or beta about the MC beyond his apperance. Not that he's exactly some shining example of original and flawless character writing, but you'd think this was the Heavy Object MC almost letting a girl die because he was afraid he might touch her breasts while saving her levels of betaness from how people go on about it. Dude spends most of the episode not doing what everyone tells him to do, even if it's just him avoiding his problems. Hiro has a typical anime hero comedy scene with naked 002, but it's hardly the most over the top of those scenes. He's capable of having a conversation with the girl and being forward enough to ask her about her name while everyone's ordering them around. Then the episode ends with him deciding it's alright if he dies as long as he gets to do something, so it's not like his trauma was about getting in the robot. It was about being a loser who drags everyone down.

None of this is anything special, literally all right there surface level characterization. Emo and angsty is a critique you could make, beta just smacks of obvious shitposting.

Even Mika has more personality than this crybaby of a MC. And Mika was stoic 99% of the time

02 is perfectly designed to hit most of my fetishes.

>almost Akko tier faces
I hope there'll be more of that

Wrong.

flat is justice

Yeah, and everyone hated him for it at the time.

The MC is an intellectually deep individual and nothing like the other harem MC's.

Why did they have to animate the mecha faces?

Mika's entire character is being an autistic murder manlet

Just in case anyone was wondering: I was rock hard throughout the entire episode.
This is going to be a big one, I can feel it.

>things that don't belong
>naruto

>people don't get that 02 will kiss strawberry in ep2
brainlets

I like to think that beneath that overly-flirty facade there is a tender and innocent girl who just doesn't know how to relate to people.

But yeah... she's probably a slut.

>let me articulate in detail what i feel instead of just showing it

People actually defend this.

...

Could you use this without getting a boner?

She's gonna go after all the boys and girls?

He doesn't know what sex or kisses are

>This is going to be a big one, I can feel it.
You usually can feel a huge turd on its way out.

I think it's not so much that Hiro is a beta, it's that 002 is such an alpha in comparison, that the dude looks like a pussy even though he took initiative this episode.

Hopefully.

Dude literally everything in this show points to joint-piloting being a thinly veiled metaphor for sex.
You're supposed to get the boner

I just want Zero Two to ride Hiro.

She's probably gone at least as far as first base with every one of her co-pilots and maybe some other folks as well.

Unit 002 a cute!

Agreed. The naked/pantsu scene is as clichè as it gets but he actually seems normal.

He doesn't even get ALL that flustered and actually takes the initiative.

I hope not, LWA was contrived cartoon shit that I dropped.

>cucked by someone else before it even started
>oh good the bitch is finally going to leave
>i can finally have Hir-
>gets cucked immediately after
>hfw

Nigger you are fucking dumb.

>3.28 MB for a tiny image
At least use webm you sick fuck

This is triggers edge, this is what I'm talking about. They take a completely tired scenario and make it palatable.

The episode is in line w/ my expectations so I'm pretty content w/ it. I will say that Naomi going off like that and then suddenly doing a 180 was one the most forced shit I've seen in a while.

>not really into it as the "dude meets naked girl" shit was going down
>suddenly there's a fucking MECHA DINOSAUR

ANIME OF THE DECADE

Shoot yourself w/ a gun please.

When do they pilot the mech in missionary?

...

They just did.

That's something a normalfag would say.

MC has a nice butt though.

>if you like dinosaurs you're a normalfag

I guess if you like chocolate you're a normalfag too then. Great post.

I want to lick 02's feet

What did they mean by this?

I wish I had dominant horny demon gf.

Heteronormative: The Animation

This scene worries me so much.

>reddit spacing
>random ass capitalization
>non-anime reaction pic
You just proved his point, you moron. Why are these threads so full of normalfags? Fuck off back to your shithole already.

Very problematic

There was some odd keep away with exactly what was going on in their cockpit. Something fucky happens, then we don't see anything from them until 002 walks out propping up Hiro, who lets us know in the narration he doesn't remember what happened either.

Yeah, this show might be full of tropes, but I loved the execution. I can't remember the last time I got hyped by a new anime. The mechas can look badass as fuck as well.

Oh no, that's going to be ANN's angle on this show isn't it

How many threads were burned through after it aired anyway?
And especially after the subs came out

...

Jesus fucking Christ, the boogeyman rhetoric is getting insanely out of control. I wonder why it's always on threads for very popular series that the "true oldfags" get really anal about "reddit", "Sup Forums" and "normalfags", it's really mysterious.

Yes I know, it's great

>tropes
Stop.

>Devilman Crybaby
>DarliFra
Could this be the year of problematic faves?

Yeah it's pretty obvious taking a RIDE with 002 is nothing like the other pairs.

Is that a flashforward? Before second cour begins, perhaps?

I'm only one who thinks that Zero Two is real MC?
