Cried a lot watching this episode, my favorite so far. Actually happy to see the relationship drama rather than over the top action. Getting Nagi no Asukara vibes from this and that is a good thing.
Goro is by far my favorite character.

I liked his confession. He had this "I almost just died, so here's how it is" attitude and there was something about it that seemed refreshing. It skipped the cringe/awkwardness and they even seem closer because of the confession. Interesting.

I feel like someone is gonna die, though. :/ And I have a feeling it will be the shy girl that has the garden. Pls no, she's too sweet.

Thing is, people need to understand that Zero Two is not the only main character, as there are 9 other ones. They are not there to be just background characters, and people who think like that piss me off, i mean if they just want to see her in the screen then they can just seach for her fanarts and whatever they want since this is not Zero Two The Anime.
I do like her a lot, i am just triggered for seeing people acting like this.


As for me, I like elements like this where there is distributed focus on many characters in a show, as I like shows with a large cast where we can see other male and female characters other than the MC have their own spotlight moments to shine, like in Bleach ( An example in Bleach is that there are so many other cool male characters in the good guy side other than the MC and even the enemy characters are all very cool and charismatic ).

I hope more shows and LNs in the future have a gender balanced cast like Franxx where other male characters have their own chance to shine. Goro is so cool in this show !
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

Man, I really want to like this show... but the writing is bad.
And it's funny they don't show people riding zero two in the cockpit. They have never shown 02 in the cockpit. Cause y'know, showing other people riding the main heroine's ass would be inappropriate. But fuck the rest, we have a daily quota of ass on the screen we need to reach. Well, these later episodes have been much more tamer.

Some people don't seem to understand that. Just look at the review on this show's page giving it a 1/10 saying the plot never progresses... through 6 whole episodes. 135 people actually found that helpful.


So because I don't like a certain aspect of a show I should just drop it completely after watching 9 episodes of it? Some people may do that but unless something is horrifyingly bad, I don't drop a show that I've watched almost halfway already. What I don't understand is why people get so butthurt over simple opinions on this site. If you like the show then more power to you, I still think the show is turning out to be complete trash but still has potential which is why I'm still watching it.


Certain aspect? You have it at a 2. There has to be more than just one thing you don't like. A 2 is not a good score on anyone's scale. You even said that you think it's trash, yet you're going to watch it for 4 more months? Doesn't make any sense.

It's just me, or the quality of this show is falling down? The first 5 episodes were very good, the 6th was good until Hiro inexplicably being cured from Dino Aids. The following episodes were focused on fanservice, romances and drama, the plot development didn't progress anymore, even the score that once reached 8.01 at the episode 5 is now 7.99. I'm hoping for the things getting better in the second cour, if it's not gonna happen, I'll be really disappointed because I had high expectations on this anime.

Really fun episode. I liked the third wheel focus on Goro and Ichigo as well was cute in that episode.

Now I don't wanna make lame jokes but I can't help myself but:

PARTNER-ZONED

:P

I'd love some more focus on other characters as well, Miku and Zorome got theirs and now Goro and Ichigo got theirs. Who's next? I can't wait! ^_^

No. It's like when you're told someone likes you and you become aware of them more, and start judging their actions with the new context.

I'm so happy Goro was able to finally express his feelings for Ichigo. Even though both of them aren't quite familiar with what love really means yet, I hope they will in a later episode.

The more I watch this, the more I can't stand this show...

I might drop this show soon enough(Same with Fate/Extra I guess but that's completely different topic). The first few episodes were entertaining to watch but it's getting harder to watch as the show progresses.

I am convinced that this mirror is really broken by 02 because you see a monster and believes that hiro does not understand his feelings ..
In fact, there are glasses around, as if it were thrown to the ground, I think she really breaks it ... the broken mirror is not a simple represents the sadness of 02 ..

This episode was alright but the plot was forced in a bad way. It seems the entire plot was caused because Goro is an idiot for ejecting Ichigo. Also is their no ejector for the pilot? Did Goro plan on Kamikazing or did he plan on ejecting after self-destructing? If parasites are so valuable for the plantation why would they not eject the pilot and co-pilot in a emergency?

They forced this plot for the stupid character revelation and development of Guro of being a lone wolf when they could have handled the same character revelations and development without breaking the suspension of disbelief for the audience. Why not just knock Ichigo unconsciousness instead and show the emergency ejection for the pilot seat has malfunctioned. The stakes would appear way more real because he would have to sacrifice himself to save Ichigo or they would both die to plantation cannons. Before he makes the decision to sacrifice himself she wakes up to aid him before their destruction.

I feel like this anime is too slow and hasn't brought anything good. I don't see a major conflict of the story, but just small ones for and between each of the characters. We barely know anything about the Klaxosaurs and what they are. But I do have to ask, is the conflicts between the characters the main plot and that's what this anime is about, or will something big happen?

I do want to see Zero Two and Hiro just go rogue and rebel or run away like she said in earlier episodes. I don't like the forceful military society as a matter of survival, and I would like to see that just come to an end through a rebellion, maybe after the Klaxosaurs have been defeated or supressed.

I would like to hear your thoughts on the anime as a whole as well.

Oh, and Episode 9 was a meh episode, seemed more as a filler.

I guess it's good they are getting some characterization and character growth out of the way relatively early. but but the show has turned episodic. this ep. and the last could have been flipped and nothing would be different.

Ichigo and Goro are the only characters I've found myself very invested in thus far. And so I really enjoyed this episode. I was surprised to see their relationship advance so much. Beyond Ichigo pines for Hiro. And Goro watches on in sad bemusement. And Ichigo swimming through the slime or whatever it was. Was one of the more emotionally cathartic scenes we've gotten out of this series.

I like Ichigo and 002 is burgeoning rivalry/friendship too. It's the right level of animosity mixed with respect. The one thing I didn't like was the forced drama between Ichigo and Miku. Hope that was a one time thing. And not going to be tracked for the rest of the series. Kind of curious who will get focus in the next episode. Since it seems to be getting back into that formula.

So much like Eva, just not as intense/complex.


This image has a whole different meaning after watching the episode.
At first I was like, "Goro, bro, I know what you feeling."
Looking back... the hair clip is likely the big detail of the shot.

Also, loli Ichigo:

Goro's always been my favorite character in this show. Not necessarily because he's good but because he's just the least annoying one. Everyone just ticks me off the wrong way with their dramas and shit while Goro's just watching behind the corner probably thinking "meh fuck these kids". But goddamn I did not think he'd fall the same shithole everyone's in with that stupid romance and fucking look he's one of those "I-was-saved-by-her-10- years-ago-and-since-then-I've-been-loving-her-but-she-won't-notice-me" trope! I've literally just seen this thing with the episode 10 of Sword Gai, an episode that I've watched before this! Fuck these stupid fucking cliche bullshit in anime. There's just way too fucking much anime out there that they just can't think of anything that hasn't been done before for at least 5 times. Fuck this why did I watch this when I don't even like mecha and to think it's only the mecha part that makes this a little watchable.

Poor Goro. You're a real man but apparently both Zero Two and Ichigo want to ride Hiro's tiny cock. You are loved. Hiro needs to die or both 02 and Ichigo need to die and leave Hiro all by his lonesome.

Okay fuck Goro and Hiro. I ship Ichigo and Zero Two. These babes need to start some yuri together.

I liked this episode. Gorou is a great character (arguably stupid decisions notwithstanding). There were some heartwarming moments with him and Ichigo. :)

IMO people who follow the show and trash-talk the character drama are silly.

Her body language does not look autistic. In my limited experience, autists tend to have somewhat awkward body language and be uncomfortable with eye contact. 02 makes a lot of eye contact.

Not really a fan of relying on quick flashbacks for everything, which was pretty much the backbone of this episode... wouldve been a lot better without the cheesy stuff like Ichigo repeating the same words. If they are gonna do that shit they gotta spread it out not just flashback in the same episode.

They also didnt really need to show us the triangle between Hiro Ichigo and Goro, the talk the two boys had in their dorm was enough to get the message across.

Buuuuut the hair clip part was cute at least. Now Ichigo is wearing Goro’s and not Hiro’s. And it was really cool how Goro just came out and said he loves her. What a guy. Glad that he isnt a baby who never will say how he feels. Normally anime cling to it so they can stick it in at just the right time (maybe when one of them is dying) so im glad they got that out in the open. Now Ichigo sure does have a choice to make!

Alright, back to the real action... I really like this particular episode mainly because of the fact that this episode focuses on Hiro, Goro, and Ichigo during their childhood, particularly the relationship Goro had for Ichigo. Making the characters more in depth are usually always great.

Goro X Ichigo do make a good couple and I was glad that Goro straight up confessed his feelings to Ichigo.
