So why do they raise child soldiers in isolation and kill everyone who fails to pass as one? Isnt that kind of culling rather counter-intuitive? Why are they using teenages in mechs in the first place instead of missiles, big ass ships and shit?
Wouldnt dropping 15 000 ton payload on a electronic dino more useful than have horny teenagers fight it?
They don't die if they fail they just get sent back to where civilians live, the girl was taking her clothes with her implying she would be using them.
>why robots over bombs Cause it's cool
Ryder Garcia
Something something aytee fierudo
Mason Fisher
Wasnt it implied she would be terminated though? For example whatshername didnt even take anything with her in the end and her monologue kinda tells the same too.
>Mechs are cooler than big fucking explosions, bombs, spaceships as bomb trucks and orbital bombardment Thats where youre wrong kiddo
Adam Sanchez
>So why do they raise child soldiers in isolation and kill everyone who fails to pass as one?
Well, they call them "parasite", don't you want to get rid of useless pest? Plus they have bad dinos blood or dna or whatever in them, so they're probably dangerous in some way or another and they do'nt want to let them become a potential threat later.
>Why are they using teenages in mechs in the first place instead of missiles, big ass ships and shit?
Because it's a mecha show, so you don't need any logic, but instead a high fucking dose of suspension of disbelief. I mean, how the fuck were they able to build this gigantic city in the first place, when the walls don't even have the weaponry to protect it from the dinos? And how the fuck did they have the incredible technology to build this city or those mecha, but not to build something useful like detectors that can actually detect approaching bad dinos? Just for what comes to my mind immediately.
Robert Peterson
>Because it's a mecha show, so you don't need any logic, but instead a high fucking dose of suspension of disbelief. Even gurren lagann required less than this shit desu
Dominic Fisher
There is no suspension of disbelief because this is a fantasy setting, whatever the writers want goes.
That only applies to things that try to be realistic like gundam.
Logan Rivera
>Why are they using teenages in mechs in the first place instead of missiles, big ass ships and shit? Because power of love gets harnessed into giant robots pilotted by couples >Wouldnt dropping 15 000 ton payload on a electronic dino more useful than have horny teenagers fight it? No
Anthony Sanchez
Only one fucking episode is out, they're bound to explain this later
Gavin Watson
The walls had canons, but they were useless against the dino
Oliver Foster
Why cant you put power of love into strategical bomber user?
Suspension of disbelief wouldnt be a problem if they didnt try to force some technobabble on the viewer
Lincoln Rodriguez
they'll probably go the usual road: "the ability to pilot disapears when growing"
Austin Green
Why didn't they put dino detectors in the Heavy Object that took Naomi away? Or in the city?
Jaxon Diaz
>Why cant you put power of love into strategical bomber user? Why would they when they have mecha
Eli Harris
Because there is a 105% chance that piloting the FranXX has another purpose and fighting the dinos is just secondary
Robert Harris
Bombers are more effective than glorified and ineffective tanks anonon lest they go full getter or gurren lagann
Adam Gutierrez
Zero two's last co-pilot looked like a grown-ass man and he only died cause she's a succubus.
Robert Turner
Eva had an explanation for why they had kids pilot the mechas, Eureka 7 also had an explanation for why Eureka piloted the Nirvash. We will probably get an explanation since the society wants to make the children think that the only thing worth in life is piloting.
They clearly have ways to battle the dinos, the episode starts after 002 wins a battle. We don't even know where the dinos come from. 1 episode is out for fucks sake.
Brody Bell
maybe because the mechas need the power of teenagers' lust
Christian Lee
A P E P E
Dylan Evans
Why are you watching a mecha show if you don't like mecha?
Samuel Sullivan
They didn't force any technobabble, these are robots powered by love magic as far as i can tell.
It silly and cute and doesn't try to take itself seriously so why should you.
Jacob Watson
>Plus they have bad dinos blood or dna or whatever in them Only 002 is a half breed. The others are "normal".
Jordan Martin
I like good mecha like battlemech and TTGL
Power of love with two pilots, life long special program, genemodding and and full government bureaucracy is technobabble. The show is trying to take itself seriously and power of love doesnt really fit that
Jace Cruz
>and doesn't try to take itself seriously Did you miss the implication that failing the pass the activation test means you end up killed?
Anthony Evans
Did you miss that they're led by an organization called "APE" that dresses in monkey costumes? It's definitely not 100% serious.
Luis Cox
I am supreme leader of APE. Ask your answers.
Adrian Gutierrez
What does APE stand for?
Anthony Gutierrez
You ever heard of Sparta?
Hunter James
probably some Engrish shit
Sebastian Powell
Association to Protect the Earth
Benjamin Morales
Apparently, People are Edible Apparition of Post Edem
Ryder Fisher
So I guess you shouldn't take this guy seriously because he is dressed like a clown
James King
Sparta itself was based on two different social casts. Helots who were slaves and whose population was controlled by spartans and spartans themselves. Helot society didnt treat their young ones like Frankxxs and neither did the spartans.
Sure, you had military service and such for spartans but that excluded females and wasnt near as intense as Frankxxs. Drop outs too were simply denied citizenship, not killed
Ian Johnson
>they dont die
except they all were talking about how no one ever gets sent back to the orphanage and no one has ever heard from people back home
Adam Cox
Also add to that all the stuff with "the bird that can't fly" ending up dead
>Plus they have bad dinos blood or dna or whatever in them
I think only the oni girl has this. While the rest is normal. Probably parasite is more social when we remember that they all come from orphanages.
Levi Thompson
They do have actual parents too though
Parker Barnes
The robots look like cute anime girls, it's most definitely not serious or realistic or anything like that.
>They die if they fail No it doesn't, they get sent away not death, if that was the case mc wouldn't have been surprised that she did die.
Setting up a universe with clear antagonist, and what not doesn't make the story serious, characters get killed off in some of the most silly stories out their.
technobabble isn't in world polotics, it's made up robot science(tech-sciene and technology) that tries to sound smart or like it would actually work in the reality.
Wyatt Lee
>first episode >why don't we have all the answers already? Every fucking time with this board
Luke Flores
>orphans >parents
Christian Fisher
You're an idiot, the point was a bird that can't fly has no where to go and no purpose. Hiro relates that to himself by saying if he can't fly, then that's the same as being dead.
Not that he will die if he failed, just that his whole life was piloting a robot and if he can't do that then he has no purpose.
They get sent back to the orphange and don't get to be soliders for humanity.
Also having death and dying in your show doesn't mean you can't be silly with other aspects, you guys are seriously brain damaged.
Asher Kelly
Thats whats weird, we see them talk about their parents being in the graduation ceremony
Evan Bell
>They don't die if they fail they just get sent back to where civilians live Is it really hard for you to pay attention to a single fucking episode? Rewatch it.
Jacob Thompson
No, people get disappeared from the orphanage. She knows going back means waiting for death. You're fucking told this. That's why she throws the case away. She's given up.
Good chance that the disappeared kids are being turned into those klaxosaurs
Jackson Gutierrez
>Being so stupid you can't even pay attention to a SINGLE fucking episode
Wow, just wow.
Jaxon Cooper
We're in for a whole season of this and people are fucking up wildly right out the gate. It's gonna be a rough ride.
Aaron Ortiz
...
Landon Murphy
Only if the bomb is powered by the primordial lust of teenagers.
Ian Smith
Yep, and then Naomi I think talks about how kids disappear from the orphanage.
You either become a parasite or bad shit awaits you.
Nathaniel Sanders
Disappear doesn't mean they die, they are taken away from the orphanges to do w.e, there's no telling what that is, but i doubt it's to just kill them.
Matthew Johnson
Naomi gave up on life because of it, it's not something good. If it was something good they'd be capable of contact/be told what it is. Instead it's a fucking secret...it's NOT GOOD
David Flores
Disappear from an orphanage=/=death
Your autism logic astounds me.
Ethan Hernandez
Naomi freaks out over it, that was a message to you, the viewer, that it's not good.
Jack Brown
They clearly don't know what it is, and namoi gave up life because she failed at what she was told was her whole purpose in life.
Carter Wright
It's amazing how some people don't get the most basic of implications.
Bentley Rogers
Your stupidity is too much.
Parker Foster
So what's gonna be the big twist?
Asher Lopez
Christ, the br/a/inlet meme is real.
Wyatt Rodriguez
I actually the people at the orphanage are something closest to being parents to them.
That, or they were adopted with them in mind becoming pilots for the mecha.
Jason Ward
NTR and humans are the bad guys.
Jace Ortiz
>disappearing is a good thing
Then I hope you disappear soon
William Ortiz
Calling it now. The APEs and the rest of humanity are in fact, the alien invaders from space. Dinosaurs are akin to the white blood cells that the planet uses to fight off hostile entities. The real heroes are the underground people living in the planet.
Lincoln Hughes
Is this the next KLK/Gurren Lagann or not?
Christian Miller
Nah, you gotta wait for Promare.
Connor Parker
"making someone disappear" is a euphemism for killing them, don't you know that?
Ethan Wilson
This is the new Eva
Connor Taylor
Shutendoji is very lovely and I want her to make me her Darling, even if it kills me!
Asher Gomez
Fuck I forgot this was announced
Alexander Harris
eva is just a haremshit
Joshua Wood
>Promare is an upcoming anime project produced by Trigger and XFlag. Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima, who previously worked together on Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill, will be involved in the project AOTC
Andrew Nguyen
>"making someone disappear" is a euphemism for killing them, don't you know that? Not necessarily
Never said it was a good thing, it's just definitely not death.
Colton Reyes
>Not necessarily Certainly so in an ambiguously military context.
Joshua Jones
>killing them From the way they talk about it, this might not even be a quick death.
Maybe even something worse.
Easton Rodriguez
They said Papa, and Papa seems to be the head of the organization or something.
Ryder Butler
Why does Papa want his “children” to fuck?
Ryder Walker
APE=ABE
Hudson Sanders
But APE will end up being the antagonists.
Colton Hall
Abe will play the villain if it gets people to breed
Daniel White
DESU since 90% of mecha protagonists are kids, by this point i don't think an anime as serious as this one needs an explanation anymore. They could lampshade it, but we know it would be just an excuse for how the genre works. + we also know the mechs can be piloted by chad adults that die, at least the male pilot.
