DR3XUSS said: People say that studio trigger moved away from Darling in the Franxx at episode 14 and blame this as the reason the ending was so washed up, but others argue they had a hand in the whole thing and maybe the ending was just always going to be genuinely terrible. What do you think? It's hard to say since it's not an adaptation of light novel or manga. Most original works in this industry are a huge gambles to begin with. It's likely the complete story board was badly planned from the beginning if people believe the ending was that terrible. |

| Good. 02 is cute and I liked to see a romantic relationship happening, though it was a bit unrealistic |
 |
| It is ugly and I hate all the characters from that anime especially Zero Two. I don't have problem with the ending because the whole show was bad. |
| Not good, for reasons everyone knows Not bad, because I don't give too much importance to endings (too many anime&manga with awful endings or no ending at all) Not ugly, because I like Trigger's art style |
| It's Trigger. It's supposed to be stupid, out of the blue and even nonsensical at times. The only reason Darling in specific sparkled this kind of heated discussion surrounding the show's ending is because of how popular the show got, and so a lot of people that aren't used to the creators' style got caught off-guard. Just look at Promare. It's even dumber than Darling and yet it didn't cause nearly the same reaction (I'm not defending it, fyi). |
| one of my most hated anime of all time. it's plain bad. I could write a wall of text how much I hate it and why. |

| Good until the last few episodes. I went in expecting the trainwreck but to my surprise it was really entertaining. Well... until those episodes kicked in. They probably lost sight of how to wrap it all up. |
 |
| very good anime, rated it 8/10 good mystery, good action, decent 2d mechs, good waifus, good romance |
    |
| Haven't finished it but I'd say it's adequate, not good, not bad. Just somewhere in the middle. |
| Bad since this was the start of anime starting to make me feel old. Also ending was shit and her as a giant spaceship thing was weird. |
 |
| the only good thing about darling in the franxx is the girls we can make hentai out of them |

| I think it's a pretty fun, entertaining show that just unfortunately kinda lost its way when it started taking itself too seriously around the latter half. I feel like i would have loved it more if it had just embraced and committed to its silly, over-the-top, Trigger-esque shenanigans... instead of actually trying to be "deep" or whatever it was going for near the end. |

| One helluva shitshow. Enjoyed and facepalmed. |
 |
| It was a really good anime I felt untill they turned the pacing into hyperdrive and killed it, would of been better if they had of made a 12 or so episode season then take the time to complete the story properly. |

I did like the bow they put on it right at the end, but I felt pretty upset with the preceding few episodes. a little yeah but it had the same dramatic feel of a tragic love story. a better ending and I would have rated it a 9 |
|
| For me only decent show only reason it got super popular because 02 factor who herself wasnt that interesting. |
| The last 10-ish episodes are where it was utter shit. That girl who got pregnant from that boy... fucking wrong... just get married if you love eachother so much you fucking slut. ffs. Also the ending was pure ass. and the giant zero two was cringe. |
 |
At the very least, DARLIN and the Oni girl, with the Cuck Squad, could clean their asses... Masterpiece... |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Well. I finished watching it against all odds just to say I had watched it and, it was fine. The first mecha anime I watched. Let's just say that I will not rewatch nor take up anime that have the same feeling or I have an inkling have a similar plot. No siree. |
 |
| I liked Darling in the FranXX. I liked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, MORE. It did what Darling did, but better. I liked Kill la Kill, but because of Mako, I dropped it, at ep 12. I don't remember Kizznaiver. |

| I see that the Trigger rumors and misconceptions are still going around. When it comes to Franxx, Trigger only had some involvement in the design phase of the anime and obviously did animation production for some episode, that's it. Director, creator and writer Nishigori is the one you should praise or blame for everything what's happenng in the show. While Franxx was his passion project, he only planned the first 15 episodes thoroughly and then that said to himself "eh, I'll somehow wing the rest". My opinion on the anime isn't that strong to be honest. I found it to be quite forgettable and mediocre in the beginning and bad once the final arc started. The anime community was still the worst thing about Franxx. Anime fans tried so hard to make a big deal out of every liitle thing and twist. The waifu wars were obnoxious as well. |
| idk why but darlifra has a very special place in my heart and every single scene i FELT FELT imo its a 10/10 but ik it has a bunch of flaws. |

I would actually love to see this actually :D I won't go into that much detail but there are 3 aspects that completely ruined it. 1. it rips off eva a bit too hard. imaishi is known for making "his version" of popular anime, like how ttgl copied getter robo. but this alone isn't enough. 2. the "trigger formula" not doing anything for half the runtime, then trying to cram in some sort of story just to fail miserably and have a lol it was aliens! ending. they really need to start planning ahead. 3. you know what makes a band of blank soldiers interesting? them witnessing life changing events that influence their behavior and they grow as a character. the former happened. each one of them has seen shit that made them question the world but not a single one did what a real human would. they would've all went their separate ways sooner or later, or turned on each other. there's little to no character development. it has worldbuilding and plenty of opportunities, but they decided to just ignore all that. |

| Good anime with a bad ending._______ |
| All i want to say is that zero two is trash |

| The Good: All the way till episode 15 The Bad: episode 16 onwards The Ugly: the ending, it tried to copy aspects of Evangelion which couldn't be executed correctly and made the series bad. The should've just left it at episode 15. |
 |
| WASTED POTENTIAL. It could have been good. I kinda liked 02 and Hiro's chemistry. |

The plot twists seemed to come out of left field despite the retroactively shoehorned-in foreshadowing, so I have no problem accepting that the writer indeed "winged the rest".

This about sums up my opinion on the show as well. By no means is it any good, but there are far worse anime in existence than this. |
