Okay, I've watched 6 Episodes of this now, and I can safely say it's fucking garbage. I don't know why Sup Forums raves about it so much, or why we have so many threads on it (or more specifically about the waifus), because it's trash, that EXPLAINS NOTHING!
The whole show so far is following a generic, beta MC with literally nothing about him that's interesting or likeable. The plot is complete garbage, we've got entire episodes dedicated to his feelings, waffling about piloting the giant robots.
The show keeps telling us he's special, but never tells us why, or even why we're using kid to pilot the robots in the first place. It just keeps throwing in lazy action scenes and monster of the week garbage, without explaining the plot.
The world is completely fucked up, but we're told this bare bones explanation as to why and that's it.
There's a shadowy council of totally not evil dudes and we know fucking nothing about them, we've barely even seen them.
Aside from the MC and the female lead, fucking NONE of the characters have had anything resembling an arc or any development. They're all just completely one note while the story keeps focusing on MC-kun and his goddamn feelings again.
It keeps dropping all these retarded forshadowing hints because it wants to pretend to be soo deep, but nothing is ever done with any of them.
And don't tell me it's fine because it's 2 cour, you don't get 25% through your series and expect your viewers to stay just for the sake of it, because "It'll be explained later :^)". That's bullshit.
I feel like it's utena with robots. With all designs being a mixmash of Diebuster and Stardiver I'm not sure where Sup Forums is getting EVA from.
Chase Young
Did his will to live suddenly turn him alpha?

>Aside from the MC and the female lead, fucking NONE of the characters have had anything resembling an arc or any development. They're all just completely one note while the story keeps focusing on MC-kun and his goddamn feelings again. Yeah, and the story is pretty much concluding the development of the MC and his feelings. He's accepted 02 and piloting the mech. He finally understands his feelings for 02. With a 24 episode anime it takes a fucking bit to get shit going. It needs to lay the groundwork. >And don't tell me it's fine because it's 2 cour, you don't get 25% through your series and expect your viewers to stay just for the sake of it, because "It'll be explained later :^)". That's bullshit. So writers should forget all about setting a scene and just have one happen? They should forget all about making a world and establishing characters and just have them exist, giving no chance for people to actually give a shit? You're a fucking impatient baby.

A portion of the fanbase seems to be digging the simplistic metaphors with the bird. To me it seems like most of the people watching this are not familiar with speculation/symbolism anime and this is their first introduction.
Adam Gray
Pretty good, user. Almost got me. Could do without the reddit spacing, though. Read OP's last 2 lines if you're confused
Jack Morales
>Hurr durr im not trying to imply that franxx is a copy of eva at ALL
Nathaniel Sanchez
Sup Forums needs something to post about and Franxx is the most suitable for this purpose .
Henry Miller
I'm not at all. I'm making fun of the people putting out those exact complaints against FranXX when it's only been 6 episodes. I'm using Eva as a comparison where none of those answers were in place by 6 episodes and none of the characters had recieved significant development aside from Shinji and Rei.
Christopher Hall
See
Michael Anderson
You know well it fits Franxx too
Tyler Scott
Nice spacing fagot.
Jayden Clark
If Franxx was airing in the middle of the 90s it would be great. But it isn't. I believe that it will be a better show than KLK in the end but I don't expect too much.
Liam Long
No woder you like FranXX when your reading comprehension is THIS bad

That doesn't excuse the failure at reading comprehension.

The spacing is there to push the last 2 lines down so you need to open the thread to see them.
Jordan Peterson
Seriously. Arches?
David Wood
Perfectly crafted, pertinent, poignant bait that hits every note. Still an embarrassing post though, you're lucky this forum is anonymous unlike your usual digs.
Bentley Stewart
Jokes on you I dropped eva on ep5.
Jack Price
Rare example of quality bait. Lots of people fell for it.
Landon Carter
Jokes on you, I didn’t watch pic related and simply thought of EVA.
Eli Young
I wonder why.
Eli Price
>Rare example of quality bait. Lots of people fell for it.
Which is a shame since I didn't want to make people mad, or bait anyone. I simply wanted to illustrate how stupid a lot of the arguments against DiTF are.
Sebastian Baker
It looks like it backfired. Exposed what kind of fans defend it.
Isaiah Lewis
You formatted it too well, if people read it while scrolling and hit what they think might be the end, they'll just read the bait and then respond.
Ryder Wood
The thread shows those who hate it fell for it just as well, though. Really makes you think about both.
Jackson Evans
Nah, you'll get that reaction with most any show I imagine. If anything it shows how few haters there are to people who like it.
Charles Clark
I agree with you there.

Jackson Murphy
I had to rewatch first arcs of NGE and Steins;Gate three times each in order to get into the rest of the shows. If you are making a good anime just make it good right from the beginning.
Matthew King
Nice blog faggot. Why not just take this review to Mal or something where it can be appreciated
Joseph Barnes
But all you need to do is read the thread to see that people who obviously dislike the show are also unable to read. It's Sup Forums being unable to read in general, so it did work.
Ayden Cook

It feels like a lot of things. If you watch enough stuff eventually you won't be capable of stopping comparing.

Michael Hernandez
it'll be good in the later episodes, this is why I will wait until all of the episodes are released, because the first episode was complete garbage.
Samuel Carter
Now that I think about it Hayashi is involved in writing this. Fucking hell, might as well marathon it in half a year instead of torturing myself.

Im enjoying this show but really not understanding the love the MC is getting from Sup Forums. I've found him really bland so far. 02 and Ichigo are far more interesting. Even Goro feels like a more developed character.
Xavier Brooks
>Why do you guys like Log Horizon? Pic of SAO unrelated. Stale old pasta.
Carter Barnes
Read the whole thing retard
Levi Morales
It's a classic Sup Forums trope. It didn't start with SAO and won't end with DiTF.
Gabriel Hall
He went from beta to alpha in just 6 episodes, most shows take the entire season to do that. I also don't like his character either but that relatively quick transition is enough for most of Sup Forums to love the character, see TTGL.
Liam Foster
Why the fuck did Sup Forums pick it up?
Ryder Miller
stick to your over-animated non-show OP
Nathan Thompson
4 episodes, actually.
Isaiah Hall
>he thinks it started with LH Try code geass image with death note pasta
Charles Roberts
>beta to alpha in just 6 episodes I think this might be the problem for me to be honest. Seems like he's "become alpha" to progress the plot rather and develop his character. Not a big deal for me though. I can still enjoy the show without really feeling anything for the MC. I'm just surprised he's so popular here.
Christian Taylor
>Franxxfags are retards that can't read I'm not surprised.
Hudson Cox
>Neon Genesis Evangelion is garbage. You're not wrong.
David Thomas
>fucking NONE of the characters have had anything resembling an arc or any development. Ichigo has no development now?
Gavin Rogers
>Seems like he's "become alpha" to progress the plot rather and develop his character. It's the complete opposite. Every time he "became alpha" he developped. In episode 4 he came out and told Zero Two that being with her is his reason for piloting. In episode 5 he stated again that he'd stay with her even if it was going to kill him. In episode 6 he finally finished his character arc and decided to not give up on life because she needed him; this is symbolized by Naomi, the partner he failed to pilot with because he couldn't connect, both starting and ending his character arc.
In episode 1 he thought of the Jian bird as a pathetic incomplete being. Now he's happy for having found his other half.
Robert Sanders
>fanboys fall for the bait hook line and sinker
Lmao
Benjamin Sullivan
Even fucking Zorome got developped.
James Bennett
>Ikuno talking to a girl with the same hairstyle as Ichigo It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on.
Not the people you're replying to but I don't know where you're going with this
>Being with her is his reason for piloting >He'd stay with her even if it was going to kill him >Not to give up on life because she needed him
All of these seem to hit the same thematic notes. And the post you crosslinked is talking about Hiro being the least indoctrinated and humane of the bunch, not seeing the relation between that post and yours.
Daniel White
The post I linked to is mine as well. It's more of his characterization and why he isn't bland.
Connor James
He is not alpha. He is irresponsible.
All he cares about is muh piloting in order to prove his worth even though people who cares about him are getting hurt in the process (Goro and Ichigo)
Nicholas Roberts
cool opinion, i didn't read it though cause it's too long but i still respect it, have a nice day OP
Lucas Anderson
>people who cares about him are getting hurt in the process (Goro and Ichigo) Yeah, a girl's feelings not getting hurt is much more important than fighting the giant monsters.
Ryder Miller
>all this long winded nonsense trying to explain how bad show is All you have to do is point out how it's love triangle trash. Putting a love triangle is a series instantly ruins it. Just like how putting a cup of shit in cake batter ruins the cake.
Jace Garcia
>people who cares about him are getting hurt in the process (Goro and Ichigo)
The same people who let his mental state regressed to near suicidal before 02 arrived?
They could have done more before the show even started instead of let him being the outcast of the group.
Joseph Barnes
Speaking the truth.
Ethan Lee
i have not watch eva before. are they really that similiar rather than just some muh symbolism?
Aaron Johnson
I hope you fucking die you dumbfuck
Blake Ward
I enjoy the show.
Julian Cooper
>he doesn't like POWER OF LOVE Look at this fucking faggot right here.
Anthony Diaz
>They're still fallng for it. The absolute state of Sup Forums.
There was never a love triangle. There was only a couple and a bossy childhood friend third wheel.
