| Is there no new episode this week? |
| I hope that kiss and cheesy ass dialogue and declaration of love between Zero Two and Hiro shut up a majority of the annoying fanboys who think it's perfectly okay to send death threats to Ichigo's seiyuu. You people were easily played if you think Ichigo had a chance and was going to successfully cuck them. You people need to watch more Anime and read more manga to see that 95 to 99 percent of the time the two MCs (in thie case 02 and Hiro) always end up together regardless whoever comes between them. JFC, noobs. Hiro's entrance in the battle arena was less than graceful. Also, that dialogue between him and Zero Two felt so forced, out of character, baity and had me rolling my eyes. I am sure some overly sensitive fanboys cried thinking 02 was confessing to them. The best part was seeing the NINES. They're fucking awesome and honestly would have preferred a series revolving around them instead. Alpha is the protagonist Hiro could never be. Hell, even Zorome would have made a better MC. |

| damn that was epic |

| @Bibimbapski Try seeing Hiro not as the MC, but rather as a half of it - maybe you'll enjoy DitF a little bit more. After all, a lot of people miss this crucial point: it's a story about two pretty weak (in their own ways) human beings getting their shit together. The whole Jian theme and lots of parallels between the episodes make it very obvious, but I guess you can't really appreciate this if you watch the show only to shrug it off as something average.  Alpha is the protagonist Hiro could never be. He is also the protaginist this show doesn't really need. I like him too (as much as I like Zorome), but both of them aren't really fitting for this role. |
| I am healed. Now onto whatever plot we have to go through. |
 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |

I DO think this show is average because aside from the unique way the Franxx is piloted, this show doesn't offer anything new or fresh. It's not the first to highlight the angst and internal struggles of its protagonists either. Hiro, to ME, is one of the worst MCs in history and yes I know that the "other half" is Zero Two. I like her character but I also criticize her. I am allowed to like or dislike any character I want. I think we should just agree to disagree, if you're enamored by the show then you most likely won't see it from my perspective either and probably be offended by how I see this show as a whole. This series is supposedly 26 episodes and we're on the 15th which means anything could happen from this point. I MIGHT change my score depending on the ending but it's definitely not AOTY or AOTS material to me. |

I MIGHT change my score depending on the ending but it's definitely not AOTY or AOTS material to me. "New and fresh" is a matter of our individual perception. We have so many fictional stories written over the course of history that I honestly doubt there's a possibility to come up with something really original. Speaking of average things, at least it doesn't have the classic "Japanese school" nonsense. In my (arguably biased) opinion, that's already enough to view this series as a 6/10 material. anything could happen from this point In the most recent interview, Trigger's producer (Hiromi Wakabayashi) hinted that we should expect a somewhat different tone in the upcoming episodes: the bird cage is destroyed - kids will have to deal with the outside world, revealing its secrets. And honestly, unless they spice things up a little bit, DitF will be remembered as one hell of a trainwreck. Even if 1-15 episodes were good personally to me, watching something of a similar nature for 9 more episodes... Hm, how should I put this? It will be disappointing (at best). |

I definitely agree that it's going to be trainwreck and disappointing. I did enjoy the last fifteen episodes, not equally but I'm hoping for more action. More background story on the adults and what happens to children that don't grow up into adults (aside from dying during battle). I also expect a major character (or characters) dying. |

| It was nice, HIro and Zero Two finally exchange between them feelings!!! ;) |
| this episode fixed everything.. well handled.. |
| Geez you guys are relentless with your Ichigo hate. |
 |
| What the fuck. Did the """"""alphas""""" just get killed by the hand? Also what a fucking amazing episode. I truly feel sorry for those that had to wait a whole week to see this. |

| I've really enjoyed the last few episodes. As they've ramped the drama up. And made good on fleshing out Hiro and Zero Two's relationship. But this episode felt a little rushed and hollow to me. Especially the musical sequence when they reunited. Still I'm glad they already have reunited. I was worried them pining for one another in different worlds, would dominate the end of the series. But we very quickly got a resolution to that. So now I'm just curious where this series will go with 10 or so episodes left. |
 |
| That sort of went as I was expecting... Ichigo helping Hiro get back to Zero Two. Disappointed they didn't show Zero Two using up (and tossing aside) those guys that were just her fuel. Could have been much better. Fancy red mech now... |

| Theory: The outside world are viewers that are watching a reality TV show called Darling in the Franxx. Screencap this. |
| The next episode will come next week BTW.. |

| Wow. This show is finally back in get REAL! I meant this is still not going where I wanted it to go at first (rather very dark themes), but I do like this direction for sure, it feels more TTGL now, but that bunch of old creeps there plotting still recall me alot to NGE. The emotions were amazingly conveyed with the climax of this episode, action was on point too, definitly loving the new Strelizia look, reminds me more of an lobster now but noneless fucking amazing! Hope the OST releases soon enough, that opening theme proved to be even better with the full version. Ending really felt me waiting for more too. |
 |
| This cliched mush galore is why this show can never go beyond 7/10 for me. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Ichigo seems happy for Hiro being with 02... and I'm not shocked about that lol... 02 is obviously the main main main main main girl in this show. |

forza1sra said: KingKatsura said: so much better than Eva honestly Agreed. Been enjoying this so much more than Eva even though I'm a fan of both. Yes... it has better chars' art and diverse chars... the female is more tall than the male and it has 1 fat person. It is a breath of fresh air. |

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| After re watching from episode 1 to 15 it all connects so well its crazy.. This series is really worth to binge watch..love it.. |
| ボールルームダンサー |
| such a cool ep, i even watched 15.5 and it was nice watching the commentary i love ichigo so much but seeing zero twos background made me love her too :< |
| I really liked this episode! I'm glad that things are back on track, and the emo phase is over! This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Strelizia looks cooler in stampede mode. |
| I'm still swooning over that confession. |
 |
| People like to hate on Ichigo, but without her we wouldn't have this sweet reunion. Goro was the first to do the right thing, but she also sacrificed her happiness for Hero and Zero Two. She is just a girl in love and now brokenhearted. So no, I can't hate Ichigo. Hero and Zero Two are the alfa couple, but I hope for Ichigo to end up with Goro. Best Bro deserves happiness too. |
 |
| The episode was very fast pace and as the action went on, the feeling of hoplessness was beginning to rise, seeing Hiro struggle, and do anything in his power to reunite with zero two helped me gain a little respect back for their relationship as well as their characters. The best part of the episode overall was the amazing feeling that was expressed when “Kiss of Death” began to play while zero two and Hiro fought in unison to save the day. Lastly, knowing that Ichigo is content with moving on really brings me at ease since I respect her character and efforts to protect Hiro. |
 |
| Wow, they couldn't even go a full episode without being with each other lol. I'm very happy for their reunion, but not gonna lie, it was kinda cringe when they were just screaming each other's names, and the whole "I love you" thing. It's quite different than that usual cold aura/vibe we get from Zero Two most of the time. Like in the past episodes, whenever she talked about how Hiro is her darling and what not, she still had this really cool aura she gave off, but now, the only sort of vibe I got from her was just pure innocence, so it caught me off guard. Nonetheless, I'm glad they are back together. |
