lmao Well when you put it like that I'm pissed at the MC as well.

If this Anime IS 2-cour, though, this pacing makes sense to me and as much as I'm tired of seeing this same slow drama in other romance/relationship/drama Anime it doesn't bother me that much. We really only have the superiors to blame (make that PAPA bitch approve him as a parasite already gosh). I can also get over the fanservice since this show is clearly using sex as a theme.

If Hiro doesn't get to pilot with 02 by the next two episodes THEN i'll start to get irritated. The first episode would have been really misleading as far as making me think it was going to be about fighting monsters with some drama mixed in - not teenage drama with a sprinkling of monster fights.
Ichigo can gtfo already - you already got rejected, girl, move on. Stop making your partner fail as a result.

I guess people are just tired of seeing a wimpy Male MC on an action anime so thats why they hate Hiro so much.Kinda hard to find a likeable Male MC on an action anime this days.

So here's the thing. They needed to have someone else pilot with 02 for a few reasons. The first and probably the most important was verify that the rumors were true. People can die when piloting with her. Second, is that they needed to show this to the other kids to make it clear that MC is literally the only person who can pilot with her. Third, Hiro makes a comment as 02 is walking off. He says that he was hoping that she'd refuse to go with MC's friend. Hiro wanted some kind of proof that he was "special" to her. Now that he has seen his friend come close to death, he now has his proof that he is somewhat special and has a purpose to live.

Basically this episode was lay some ground work for the MC. His choice to not stand up to the adults was the correct one. His friends were minutes away from dying and he wasn't even sure if he could pilot with 02. He made the logical and safe choice with what little time was left. If he put up a fight, his friends would have been killed. Ichigo even explains this a few seconds before 02 shows up by saying something along the lines of "It's my fault. If I wasn't so in my head would that have given 02 enough time to save us?" but then 02 shows up right after she says this and saves the day. Again, If OP was fighting with adults, his friends would be dead.


If you want to call the MC a cuck or a crybaby then that's you're choice....but honestly I think it just makes you look like a fool for not understanding what's going on.

To all the people who "crap" on this show, I have something to say.

"Why can't we all get along!?"

I hope that there's like a big bad who's been hiding within the higher ups and carefully planning all of the events.

That's just hopeful thinking.

You say Hiro can't have a contradictory thought for being a anime character? Or he can't use logic for the same? Or are you just saying people don't have this kind of thought or never act with logic? Are you saying everyone in the world never get up on the selfishness and pride to do something that may be necessary?



I don't know where you pulled all these. I am only saying don't compare an action of an anime character to all human beings and saying "Not the first human to have ...."

I can say I think the same way.



>human character

I could compare him to another animal, but it wouldn't make sense. If he's human character, he should act like a human, no?



If we ignore some facts about the society (that we don't have much information so far) he lives in... I think that's the way.

I hope he gets away with Zero Two. That's pretty rebellious and it's something she already has proposed.

And I really have no problem with the MC being weak at first.

I hope there are physical consequences of Mitsuru riding with 02. He seemed to be taller in the end.


i thought it mentioned somewhere that everyone that become 02's partner will get their life force sucked away and makes the said person grow older on faster rate which is too much for body to handle (which explain why her previous partner look like 40years old)

Disappointed.

I understand the situation, the relationship, the angst. But, c'mon man! We're in a battlefield! I'm fine with the drama, but it dragging the progression too much.

The characters, I know they want to broadening their personality, but they do it too drastically, even only one by one.

Okay... teenager, right? Alright, alright.
I'll keep watching.

The scene on the balcony (overlooking the city) kind of reminded me of Coruscant (from the Star Wars prequels, lol).

I don’t really understand why it’s a “dead end city” just because the sky/ceiling is fake. Would love for them to explore what these plantations and cities are a bit more.

I was surprised to see a “small” dinosaur type in this episode. I guess they come in all different shapes and sizes. The pain we see Miku go through in this episode gives me bad vibes though, I wonder if this series is going to get really dark later on. As it was... did we just lose Mitsuru!?

I also think there is a big secret with how Zero Two pilots since they only showed us Mitsuru. They prevented us from seeing Zero Two on purpose...

Does anyone know wht the cruchyroll subs translate "Kyouryuu" to Klaxosaur instead of just dinosaur? I mean I guess it makes it sound more sci fi and cool(?), but it seems unnecessary if the Japanese name wasn't implying any kind of proper noun for them.

I was impressesed that Hiro made a mature decision to let his friends be saved, so far he doesn't seem like a terrible MC. I really hope this show picks up, though, cause these first 3 episodes have been kinda slow.

Also wow, we are noticing the same things lol. I was confused by this too and literally thought they were saying dinosaur for the first 4 episodes until I looked it up. Apparently they are called "kyoryuu" 叫竜 not "kyouryuu" 恐竜 (it's on their website http://darli-fra.jp/keyword/). I really thought they were just saying 恐竜 though, obviously I think they made up this name to sound similar but it just seems confusing. Not sure where Klaxosaur came from though, I guess it is the "official" translation/English name.

There was no way they were letting Hiro in the mech whatever he said, so maybe he was just backing down, but that's fair enough if the rest of his squad were in danger, wasting time arguing for the sake of your own ego when lives are at stake is a much bigger pussy move than anything done here.

Also he's pretty sure he can pilot with Zero Two, and that all her previous partners died after 3 attempts, so letting the jackass who just ditched his own partner go with her once, actually killed two birds with one stone. Gets the rescue underway knowing Zero Two will handle it, and Mitsuru gets fucked up by a pretty harsh reality check at the same time. Which was obviously going to happen, unless he was somehow better than everyone else they ever paired her with

Hiro must know she's focusing only on him for a reason, so if someone else thinks they can keep up with her, sure go ahead and try..

Darling and NTR - Ep 3.

Good thing that Zero Two gave him ebola. So who will be next week to cuckhold Hiro?

//
I thought the MC in the current isekai Death March has no balls or even the male mc in Beatleass.
Those have mountain of balls compared to Hiro NTR fetish...

I can only hope the plot doesn't get Trigger level next.


I don't understand this hate for Hiro or comparing him to Shinji.

He has his doubts, sure, but he also always shows he's determined to do something, he's training, he wanted to ride with 02. The only reason he didn't in this episode is because the superiors didn't let him.

He only let 02 ride with Misturu because he cared more about his friends coming back with life than his own feelings, which is why people saw him as a leader. A good leader is capable of disregarding his own feelings for the sake of accomplishing something greater.

AND he was visibly bothered when Mitsuru rode with 02, its not like he was being a cuck because he wanted.

As I see him, he's a great character.


This guy right here is smarter then ALL you morons! (the idiots that don't like this show)

What an absolute masterpiece episode.

This literally fixed the big ? we had about the main male protagonist. He literally had 0 unique qualities besides personality until this episode.

And yes, I was so fucking pissed when he cucked himself pretty much. BUT this proves that he's the only one that can pilot with her. So it was 100% worth.

Watching this show in 720p and 1080p makes a difference.

I still can't take the mech seriously, considering how the design is. Drama still feels forced by quite a bit but definitely shaping out to be more and more interesting.

This episode is actually still more of build-up and character development for main male protagonist (like how @kaaamos had explained).

Hiro doesn't deserve to be MC. Fucking spineless piece of shit. They should've just made him a woman character like Ryuko Matoi. Would've been leagues more interesting. But no, they decided to go with the generic shounen little bitch who's punching above his weight. No wonder all the lowlife otakus find him relatable, he's as lame as they all are. Fantasizing a relationship with a girl just Zero Two. Guess what? It rare happens in real life and chances, it won't happen to you.

The black and blue klaxosaurs looked like a fat ass tick, the ones I see my cousin's dog has behind and inside their ears sometimes.

My only hope is that Zero Two will go batshit crazy and kill everyone in this series.

Well it's pretty obvious after the first dude dropped pretty much dead after that short fight, and to see Hiro to be not affected by the whole ride at anything sure makes him "compatible" to say the least... and well this sure confirms it, all of the other team members sure have a big ego regard Hiro.

Well I did like the development and looking forwards to see what's next.

WTF?! Hiro, letting Zero 2 to ride with some other guy is like Hiro accepting and wanting to be part of a cuckold! Hiro's NRT fetish confirmed lol! Well at least, that's because he doesn't want to watch his friends die. Meanwhile, Mitsuru is the type of person to cheat on his partner for an even better one, for more 'pleasure'

Mitsuru can't handle Zero 2 just like the others before him, except for Hiro somehow...

I'm starting to think that she is able to "eat" her partner at her own will. Mutsuki was fine at first, but then Zero Two went "all out" and that happened. Or is it that Hiro really is unexpectedly strong?

And here I am beating my head over why they had to pilot their Franxxes in that position, and the whole “no one can pilot with 02 for more than 3 minutes“ is just another metaphor to finishing early. By every episode, it becomes clearer how horny and teen the writers of this series are. Although, in an Anime-esque setting, it works out just fine.
