Synopsis

The story is set in the distant future. The land is ruined, and humanity establishes the mobile fort city Plantation. Pilots produced inside Plantation live in Mistilteinn, also know as the "birdcage." Children live there knowing nothing of the outside world or the freedom of the sky. Their lives consist of battling to carry out missions. Their enemies are mysterious giant lifeforms known as Kyouryuu, and the children pilot robots called Franxx to face off against them. For the children, riding the Franxx proves their existence. A boy named Hiro is called Code:016, and he was once known as a prodigy. However, he has fallen behind, and his existence seems unnecessary. Not piloting a Franxx is the same as ceasing to exist. One day, a mysterious girl known as "Zero Two" appears before him. Two horns grow out of her head.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
mouhcinesix This anime is one of the best anime. and It deserves a second season
tarletons15 Ok now that I have had a couple of days to digest I think it's time for my official review of Darling in the Franxx.Darling is an anime that started a little slow and felt quite strange at first, but quickly turned into one of my all time favorite shows. Some of those episodes towards the middle of the show are some of the best episodes of TV I have ever watched.Unfortunately the show took a dip in quality from episodes 18-22 when too much was done in a short time. (I heard this might be due to 2 episodes being cut from the show) Never the less, Darling recovered and ended strong with an ending that was beautifully written and brought back memories of one of my other favorite shows, "Chuck."While it has it's flaws, Darling in the Franxx is one of my favorite shows ever, and probably my second favorite love story ever. The story was fantastic and the characters are friends I likely won't soon forget. Darling isn't perfect but it got pretty close there for a while. I highly recommend it.9/10 definitely worth a watch or two.
jienerwokestv So i'm currently 22 episodes in (2 more left) and it is by far the best anime series i have ever watched lol, absolutely fantastic
shubhamm-79684 While I have never written a review before, I felt incredibly compelled to do so after watching the most recent episode (15) as this has quickly rose to the top of my list of the dozens of animes I have watched.Darling in the FranXX excels and drawing out an incredible variety of emotions; it has the thrill of an awesome shonen/action series, characters each with unique (often relatable) personalities and surprisingly interesting backstories, the occasional set of humour, a beautiful combination of music, art, and animation, but most importantly a magnificent ability to tell an incredible romantic story between the two primary protagonists.You will feel excited and frustrated, exhilarated and saddened; you will laugh and you may cry, both tears of sadness and joy; and, the more you watch, the more you will find the need to watch. It does what I have never seen any other animes do - it brings together those that watch shonens/action shows with those that watch rom-coms/slice of life animes and it seems to do it effortlessly. Although the value of each episode may fluctuate throughout the series, stay patient as each episode is still significant and the creators excel at bringing them all together. You may first find it overly eerie but this is done purposefully and it truly makes the moments that bring you joy also possibly bring you to tears.You may have questionable feelings as you begin to watch this series but put those feelings to rest and watch this anime as I cannot even fathom how you would regret it. This is a must-watch if there ever was one. It's pure magic.
