Darling in the FranXX

What are Sup Forums's thoughts so far on the show now? And why does 02 keep bullying Ichigo? Is it revenge for those times Ichigo ostracized her?

homoshit ruined it, it went from meh to unwatchable this episode

I hate how smug this bitch is towards Ichigo, where the hell does she get off?

It looked like it had potential for a while. Episode 5 was excellent. From episode 6 onwards it's been complete garbage. I lost all hope.

Every episode makes someone new mad.
Just keeps getting better

Boring cliché generic shit. Its only worth is in being good shitposting material.

>And why does 02 keep bullying Ichigo?
why wouldn't the best girl bully this frumpy dullard?

Hiro's bedroom

Far more interesting than Screen Saver:The Anime. Not as good as A Place Further Than the Universe (which totally caught me off-guard) Haven't really watched any other anime yet in the season. I like Overlord S1 but don't expect S2 to be better than Franxx. Franxx is strangely fun if you don't try and take it too seriously. I wrote elsewhere - it's like they took a really stupid premise that was meant to be a shitty anime and gave it to talent that really wanted to make the best out of it.

This episode didn't do much to change my thoughts on the series in general, those being that I really like it and I feel it has potential though it has not been perfect so far. I enjoyed this episode but it didn't do much in terms of actual movement to make me change my mind in any way. It gave us quite a bit of interesting information which is nice to have for background, but most of it was just setup for future events as far as I can tell.

>sales are still shit
what the fuck franxxbros...i thought the beach episode would save it...

It's been confirmed that Sup Forums is full of normalfags that enjoy this shallow garbage. We got a shitty fan service episode that didn't expand on any of the relationships. More vague shit that may or may not be explained in later episodes

Nah. Only losers would be interested in this shallow pandering garbage.

Give it a few days

Go back to where you belong Sup Forumsermin

This is basically Evangelion minus 30 IQ points soit attracts a lot of shitposting

I bet Sup Forumsermin have better taste in anime than you do, retard.

Goro is going to get with Ichigo

...

it is like you have never interacted with a 3d girl. Yes I know they are troublesome and to be avoided but how 02 acts toward Ichigo is a rather realistic portrayal of how women act toward each other when one has secured a man the two of them had been lusting over.

Yes

I'm only watching this because of Goro, Ichigo and Zorome.

This

It jumped the shark with episode 6, and episode 7 made things worse.

>02 acts like 3dpd
Just when you think she can't get any worse.

I want to cum on her face.

hopefully the rest of the show will take place on various beaches waterfronts and hotsprings

Me too

So basically Zero Two is a 3DPD.

Yuck.

...

True

Show is bad. Only decent part is hot pink hair girl

This is true, but it just makes me dislike her as much as I dislike ichigo

>dat face

>a fat lonely man trying to explain how a 3D woman works.

> implying 3DPDs are complex creatures

...

Complex enough for a fat lonely man.

>cuckcona

it was ok (ichigo is the best btw)
but it really went downhill at episode 6 when one died and now?
A FUCKING BEACH EPISODE
this also

>Is it revenge for those times Ichigo ostracized her?
The delusions people have about this show is enough to make someone drop it.

It's keeping me interesting, so far I have no complaints. There's still a lot of episodes left.

>not even one episode after they become official partners and Hiro fails to protect her smile

02 is at her best when she's bullying Ichigo, and Ichigo is at her best when she's being bullied.

>What are Sup Forums's thoughts so far on the show now?
Ichigo is perfect, 02 is a literal slut who just want to suck people dry(literally)

02 is perfect, Strawberry is an autist who can't take a hint

I thought it was shitty from the start but now I'm certain it won't get better.

I just started watching this. The pacing seems slow as fuck, is this 2 cour?

Stop posting this

02 is for smiles and love only

Someone post the strawberry hat edit. Please.

Are female beta orbiters a thing IRL? It seems so bizarre

Yes

>And why does 02 keep bullying Ichigo?
Are you seriously asking this? She's defending her territory.

>this much hivemind
It's like I'm really on

I started watching this assuming that this was a 12-13 ep anime. after looking on MAL I learned its 24 eps.
This show feels like its moving way to fast to go anywhere interesting. They aren't taking the time to actually build characters like they should from the start.
They actually have the time to flesh out characters in a meaningful way, but they just fill it with mellow-drama instead.
They're treating this like its just a seasonal show that they're gonna ring as much money out of while they can, and not an actual project which really disappoints me.

>mellow-drama

>Hiro & Ichigo walking along the beach at the end
>"Hey old chum I'm gonna work you to the bone in our many future missions, so don't you go giving all your attention to Onibitch"
>cut-off confession
>"hey look shooting stars, they're all bright like us!"
>shooting stars aren't known for their longevity

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO END LIKE THIS I WAS HIS CHILDHOOD FRIEND HE GAVE ME MY NAME I WAS SUPPOSED TO PILOT WITH HIM I GAVE HIM MY FIRST KISS AND I WAS ABLE TO HELP HIM PILOT MY FRANXX WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING OUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY HE KEEPS IGNORING ME AND THAT FUCKING BITCH DEMON WOMAN KEEPS RUINING EVERYTHING FOR ME WHY WON'T SHE JUST GET TRANSFERRED AWAY OR DIE I HATE THIS

can someone explain what the tree piano means? i'm not getting it

>002 is 3DPD

So why exactly does Sup Forums like her?

Most of her fans are from Sup Forums

Imagine the catfight if Ikuno saw this

youve posted this multiple times today and still no one finds it funny

Oni is a whore, prove me wrong.

It probably has something to do with nature taking back what humanity stole or something. Maybe it has something to do with Klaxosaurs?

It's true

Ichigo is a copy and paste character found in hundred of anime, this makes her the worst girl. 02 might be bad but Ichigo worse by the slightest margin so therefore she's the worst girl.

Maybe next time.

>Ichigo is a copy and paste character found in hundred of anime

Name 5

The people who like her are crossboarders from Sup Forums

Why did she say this?

Because 002 feels threatened

Miuna
Onodera
Kuroneko
Nanami
Tsubaki

All wrong

I didn't intend for anyone to repost it.

I got you friend.
>Cukona
>Onodera
Looks like someone beat me to the list.
She's literally a fucking average no accomplishments childhood friend. Once the guy she's had a crush on for 10+ years moves on she decides to try to take a move. In anime this just leads to a fucking 10 episode autism fest where the bitch delays any progression.

the strawberry is for suffering

Because Ichigo was looking at a poster of a kiss and she just finished asking Hiro if he had kissed anyone else so was suspicious.

Christ you're dumb

>This show feels like its moving way to fast to go anywhere interesting.
>They actually have the time to flesh out characters in a meaningful way
Developing characters fast doesn't mean you can't flesh them out in meaningful ways while doing so.
Doing it fast means you might have the time to take them further or do more with them.

It's not like the character development will all of a sudden stop just because they did it too fast.

That's par on course with Sup Forums.

To be fair, all the kids are clearly sexually and socially stunted. I don't think they had any concept of romantic relationships up until recently.

I can't wait for the porn where they try to one up each other.
02 kisses Hiro.
But it turns out Ichigo did too.
So one of them gives Hiro a blowjob in order to get an edge on the other.
Then it all escalates even further and further.

I haven't seen anything really new or thought provoking yet but I think its a quality show because the directing, animation, sound design etc are all pretty above average. If this how ends up being rated like a 8.8 or 9 for me it will be because it just kept up its execution without it dropping the ball. I definitely prefer shows that are shallow conceptually but have good execution over shows that try to be complex conceptually and end up crashing and burning.

the problem is they haven't even really developed the characters at all yet.

The opposite is also true. Women like Ichigo suddenly want a guy after he's already been taken by another woman even though they've had their chance.

That's just flat out false though.

homo piano scene when?

>tfw all these children don't know

in what way.
most of them can be described in one sentence.
ichigo: I like hiro, fuck 002.
002: hiro is my darling, also I'm too powerful for other boys.
hiro: I can't get my cock up for anyone other than 002.

Thought this was going to be an emotional introspective tale about meaningful relationships from the first couple episodes and I'm extremely let down so far.

The first doujin already ended with 02 bullying Ichigo. I think, can't read it

He's here.

I think I'm developing a fetish for Ichigo suffering.

Just to point at Hiro a little bit with stuff from the top of my head.
First we see Hiro and learn about how he has no purpose in life except flying robots as a parasite. Something he is not even able to do.
And we quickly learn that parasites are basically born for this purpose alone and aren't meant to do anything else. That they're meant to have their entire lives governed for them.
But Hiro starts giving himself and the other parasites names, something parasites aren't even meant to have. He is imposing an identity onto himself and his friends.
But Hiro also met 02. With 02 enabling Hiro to fly. She enabled his purpose putting his life back on track.

We also learned how Hiro was a central pillar of the group as they were growing up.
But lost respect from the group when he failed the test(s) for what was meant to be their entire purpose. And so he fell out from them.
But we've also seen him get back into the group. And interestingly enough show more leadership like qualities than their actual leader. Regaining the respect of the group.

And we've seen him going from having had piloting the robots be his sole purpose and desire, to also simply wanting to be with 02 for the sake of being with 02. A development only a couple of episodes old mind you.

And Most interestingly. With all of this. We have seen Hiro embracing the philosophy and purpose of the parasites wholesale. Living entirely and fully for Papa. Never questioning it. Taking pride in it. Importance. Purpose.
To Hiro suggesting that he might also be able to eventually do what supposedly only Papa can.
To Hiro questioning whether or not Papa and society chose to do the right thing(s) in the first place. Questioning why or how.
Hiro has been broadening his view and perspective of the world. No longer taking things for granted. Thinking for himself. Imagining the world outside the limited confounds of where and how he was raised. Embracing that there is more to the world, and more to himself.

Yes

And this isn't even everything about Hiro and his development.
And spoiler: Hiro isn't the only character that has been developed.

>not knowing how to use spoilers
nigger, what are you doing?

Who else has developed outside of 02 and hiro?
ichigo is a waste of space

>And why does 02 keep bullying Ichigo?
02 feels threatened by Ichigo. I don't think it's so much revenge as it is 02 feeling that Ichigo poses threat.
02 has no place of belonging, until she met Hiro at the very least. But she still only belongs with Hiro. Ichigo is a potential threat towards that. And without Hiro 02 has nothing.
