| Lol the scenes with them trying to "connect" were so lewd. I want to "connect" with Ichigo. |

GangsterCat said: Demyx_IX said: News flash, Japanese does not translate into English is that how you defend hetakuso translation? I think we don't have enough context to determine who it was directed at therefore an accurate translation is not really possible this time. It could refer to many things, just a few of my ideas. 1. Hiro sucks at piloting. 2. Hiro sucks at kissing. 3. Ichigo thinks she sucks because she couldn't bring out Hiro's ability like Zero Two. 4. Ichigo thinks her first kiss sucked because Hiro was so bad at it. 5. The whole failed experimental riding attempt sucks. If we get some more insight into it later we might be able to pinpoint what it referred to exactly. |
| Lol at so many people getting turned off. The episode was much better compared to the trashy pilot episode. Also, I like 7-nee. She looks nice next to 8-nii. Single digit veterans anyone?  The only things that bugged me in this episode was how Naomi is so not dead like how predicted. Ofc she wouldn't be if you consider her voice-actress. Now all that she needs is to make a glorious return. And how that bulky guy kept on hoarding breads. Although he is partnered with the second best girl in the anime so far, so I guess it's aright. 3/5 |

No, that's how I "defend" a translation that we have no context as to what Ichigo is saying, as I said in a previous comment from before the one you quoted, its interesting in what she meant by it. As there is ZERO FUCKING CONTEXT. |

red-tomato said: nobody told me this was going to be a teenage love story -.- I know, right? I thought it will be more about sex education after the first episode but now they threw in teenage romance in it. kyuudere said: It's like some people forget the setting in this anime is an post-apocalyptic world where children raised in pair to fight monster and barely know anything like love, or kiss. At least they know that holding onto a girl's underwear is embarrassing. Swagernator said: Can't wait for someone to call this show to be sexist. Someone actually did after episode 1. |

| Lol @ the way that the robots are piloted. I'm a bit sad to see that Hiro didn't connect properly with Ichigo but it was kinda expected. I'm really excited to see what this series will throw at us viewers next! |
 |
| No, but I assume you did. |

kyuudere said: I feel bad for people who dropped this after only two episodes hahaha. The next episode is going to be awesome in terms of animation and the story of course could possibly get better. We've seen yet all the world in this anime, and from the OP it's likely we will get some cool antagonists / rival squad.  I wouldn't be surprised about the rival squad. If this series has anything to do with romance, then a standard plot point would be for one of the boys to try to take zero-two away from Hiro, or one of the girls to do vice-versa. That sort of plot point is to be expected, frankly. Also APE said there's going to be a joint mission between plantation 13 and plantation 26, I wonder what kind of mission "KISSING" is.  It just feels like they're using romantic/sexual terminology to describe a docking and refueling operation with another plantation, TBH. Few possibilites. The smug squad in the OP is elite squad with double digit numbers like Ichigo, Hiro, and Goro, they came from Plantation 26. Special squad under APE order itself, and even maybe single digit number like Zero Two, Nana, or Hachi. Note: while in the introduction of Nana and Hachi don't have code number, I think they are ex- single digit number kids who directly under APE's jurisdiction. Possibly, but let's see where this goes first. |
| The reason he was so '' Awful '' Miss. Ichigo was because he Trusts and Likes Zero! Besides she is way hotter then you Baaaaka |
 |
| it's a fine episode and a bit weird how they should pilot a Franxx...like they doing Doggo Style hahahaha Zero two is a hot chracter btw, eheeemmm I am more interested in the world they stayin what are those mysterious klaroxous monsters? and the origin of Franxx robots? some kind of an alienetic tech. |
firemagnet said: What, exactly, she meant is up for interpretation, so I'm not sure that the insults are ncessary. The part about 'anyone with half a brain' meant to be directed at those that were calling Ichigo slut/bitch, according to the person I responded to. |

FireHeart said: I'm a bit sad to see that Hiro didn't connect properly with Ichigo but it was kinda expected. The MC is the revolutionary beta one in a world devoid of sexual tension between men and women. He cannot connect properly unless there's some sort of excitement. I think that is what happened with his previous partner. He didn't tell Leader-chan the whole story. He would probably had to hold onto her panty and see her taking a dip in a lake stark naked before the kiss and everything to work out. Other alternative wouldn't make sense as Horny's partners get all washed up by their third connection with her. So, the eventual compatibility will have to be from the MC's side and not hers. Just a theory at this point because that's how it seemed. Anyways, the mecha designs are pretty dull. I can't seem to relate to how some people are goshing over them. I guess it's just different tastes. |

AdrianRubinsky said: Hey Doc, how does your mecha works? Doc: The mecha is powered by Hi-ERo particles love so we can fight the evil Penguins Kyouryuu. They are just remaking Kenzen Robo Daimidaler with a drama twist. Which is a shame, because there is good animation, Zero Two character is interesting and the OST is amazing. Duuuuude, this. All I could think of in that scene was Daimidaler lmao. It was like a race between the two groups to have the better sexual chemistry, the way the dialogue played out. |

| So Hiro did not have any memories of what actually happened back then eh. Nice to hear that Hiro's previous pilot survived the attack. Wow thats a lot of syrup that Zero two put in there though. But she really has a massive appetite. Hiro is pretty determined to be off use once more though. The city council though sure has a mysterious feel to it though. Hmm so while one pilot focuses on piloting the other focuses on weapons. Zerome really is the problem child of this squad though. The mock battle was an interesting idea though. Hmm so the link between the two is via mind linking then. Ichigo sure is going pretty far though in her attempts to draw out Hiro's abilities. Interesting episode that did a great job at introducing the cast as well as how the mecha's work. Love the ending theme though. |

| Okay, seriously, I hate the male's uniforms. Now I understand why men never show any of leg. Anyway, opening is pretty sweet. Everyone's gettin to know the new girl, who was quite the riot with her strange behavior. I'm liking this so far. Also fan-service, like, I felt that the robot was unnecessarily sexy but didn't mind it much... but now I've seen how they actual control them and it's just... combined with some of the terms they use... it all feels... strangely sexual... I like it. |

VanishingKira said: So he couldn't get it up with Ichigo kek 'You were awful' Mans biggest fear lmao |
| I'm not sold on this yet. Most of the characters are plain annoying and the first half of the episode was so dry I was tempted to drop it there and then. It didn't help that the OP was disappointing - visuals were kind of impressive but didn't come together to produce much hype or impact. Didn't like the song much; singer's voice was pretty bad (so shaky) and I was excited to hear HYDE but he didn't sing at all. It picked up with unintentional humour. So there are loads of sexual undertones to this, but I lost my shit at 18:41. Idk if they had this camera angle on purpose but wow XD It got kinda interesting towards the end with the intrigue of what it takes to bond and pilot one of those things, but with weak characters (with boring character comedy) and a slow-moving plot, I hope it gets more interesting and that the characters start to click with me or I'll drop. The sexual undertones are distracting too tbh, and the animation is good but not good enough to carry it and make it worth watching for that alone. |
| The pacing, animation, and story were perfect this episode. The sexual innuendos are definitely present, but it's not as detracting as it could have been, so we have that to be thankful for. I'm looking forward to seeing how the next 22 episodes pan out. "Violet Evergarden" and this are turning to be some of my favorites this year (and the year has barely just started!). |

2Matt said: this anime needs to learn how to r e s p e c t w o m e n. probably going to drop this next episode Don't know if you actually meant for this to be a sarcastic remark á la "fuck the femenazis sjw bullshit" but I whole heartedly agree. |
| welp this episode solidified fat guy and bizarro-Hatoko as the first duo to die. hopefully the squad leader doesn't lose her way, i kind of like her |
firemagnet said: Faederwulf said: Says the guy who simply made a statement disagreeing with what I said without addressing any of the points? Or you could go back a few pages and look at what I posted in response to more substantive criticism and opinion giving, like this: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1699186&show=400#msg53770264 As is, the onus here is upon you to explain precisely how you see these characters as sluts. Remember: most of the characters were never taught about sex, sexuality, or relationships in the first place. "Slut" implies that the characters are either a) conscious of infidelity or b) that term is an outside judgement made by a viewer--in this case, you. Now, as for your, uh, "argument": As is, the onus here is upon you to explain precisely how you see these characters as sluts. Because as I say, co-piloting is akin to sex. They're referred to as pistils and stamens, only capable of a male-female merge, there are lewd reactions during the merge, and the position has the female's ass in the male's face for fuck sake. I at least hope you won't deny this much. The demon girl is a slut because she's had 3 partners before the protagonist, not to mention she killed them (whether this is a metaphor for breaking up or whatever, really doesn't matter). The blue haired girl is also a slut, because she partnered with him when she already had a partner. The word slut doesn't imply infidelity necessarily, but promiscuity. Why are characters are unbearable Protagonist is a cliche whiny protagonist, heroine is too assertive for my liking (this one is a matter of preference) and is a slut, angry kid is obnoxious, blue haired girl is a slut, blonde guy is a cuckold. Why do the mechs look stupid Do you really need to ask this? They're designed like oversized metal females with big moeblob eyes. It looks ridiculous. drama isn't dumb It is dumb. Not only has there not been enough time for me to develop any interest in the characters, the characters are so unlikeable that I doubt I'd develop much interest in any of them anyway. It's melodrama, even though it's far from the worst I've seen. |
| A little too much sexual innuendo for me. Though at least they threw in a rival and a love triangle to keep it from being too boring or creepy.. |

Faederwulf said: Pit93 said: So you're saying a girl that has or had a lot of different sexual partners is a slut? Wow, way to go.... That is the genuine meaning of the word - a promiscious woman. In addition, yes, I am disgusted by it. No sane man would settle for a non-virgin when there are higher chances of infidelity, higher chances of her being unhappy, higher chances of her having an STD, and overall sticking your meat somewhere that another man stuck his meat in first. This boils down to the non-sluts being moral. They chose to stick to the western ideal of Thou shalt not commit adultery. It also explains the animosity towards 02, being an amoral devil girl who violates pretty much every commandment. It really bothers me that ichigo fell into the "I wannabe a slut" trap to be popular. Though, there is always that girl in real life, too. 02 types never expect to marry a decent man, while the ichigo type does, but will never find them because they tried out the slut life. |

TheDoggoneGirl said: I hate this egotistic main female character and she's such a cliche character, like ohmygod. She's just your another cliche female character who thinks so highly of herself and the best out of the parasites, but yeah a masive bitch (heck she might have a tragic backstory why she's like that lol). Sucks because the male MC will most likely end up with her instead of Ichigo. The cliche male character will always end up/choose the worst resort. Lol. That action scene, though, and the animation. It's the only good thing in this show so far. Good job, Trigger and A-1 Pictures. Ichigo best girl. <3 Btw, that was a very weird position for the two to connect. I thought it's gonna be like Pacific Rim, but damn this show is gonna be a fanservice fest. Haha. 3/5. Dunno but I found Ichigo is a more "cliche" character than Zero two. You know, the "childhood typical" friend who fall in love for the M.C |

| hold up the controls are actually in the girls' ass am I mean what the fuck? lol |

 OMFG GIVE ME MORE JUST FUCKING GIVE ME MORE |

| This show has Kill la Kill written all over it and I like that. Thing is, Kill la Kill's weird premise only worked because it didn't take itself too seriously, and this show does. I could probably enjoy a funny show about doggy-style robot riding, but a drama? Will have to see. Theory: maybe the secret to true robot riding is foreplay before connecting. Or maybe it's both pilots actually "connecting". Either way, seems like something Trigger would do. |
Heavens_Kairyu said: Apparently the translation would be more of "awful" or "that was terrible", with no obvious direction, so it could be towards herself or Hiro. I know CR makes mistakes here and there but "You were awful" is the more or less the correct translation here which will depend on one's interpretation. For me it seemed like she was referring herself with the "YOU" and not him. MomoSinX said: Wow, I completely missed that frame, those 3 girls look like they are 002 clones or something... (if they are girls that is xD) Obviously they are girls. There are 4 boys and 4 girls there. |
