| F* this episode F* this script!!! to hell with Kokoro and Mitsuru!!! hope one of those giant mechasaurs mauls them to death!!! -10 / 10 episode, I'm angry and sad at the same time!!! Of all the characters they could hurt, they do this to my bro Futoshi, and worst of it, a damn NTR, the thing I hate the most in the universe!!! I haven't feel so bad after watching a single episode in...ages. the only good things about this episode was the short scenes with Hiro and Zero Two, everything else was made just to anger me even more. |
 |
| Ok the drama is getting boring. I wish we had a few episodes about the world itself, the klaxosaurs, their origin and so on. I cant say that I am impressed with the way they are trying to build the characters or make them likeable ... if one of them had to die the next episode I still wouldnt give a damn since none of them are likeable, it all feels forced and unrealistic |
| Just when I thought Cucking in the FranXX ended, Mitsuru strikes agian, stealing Futoshi's woman, no less! Is there anyone safe from him?! Who will be the next victim?! This is a joke, btw. |
 |
| As someone said Kokoro seems to be the most human of the group and in my opinion the conflicts around the partner switching really benefited her making her the most interesting female character at the moment. While the episode has some nice story elements it didn't catch my interest most of the time. First of all, the same structure used in the last episodes gets boring and makes it too predictable, second no one besides the until now "underused" characters plays a role so it doesn't affect the viewer as much. |
| So it looks like they decreased the amount of fanservice over the past few episodes and increased the focus on character development and actual plot points which is a plus. I mean even with the casual yuri moment they attempted to have in there, they still kept it subtle. Looks like the staff is learning something right? Mitsuru, Futoshi, Kokoro, and Ikuno got their respective highlights with most of the emphasis on Mitsuru this time around. Glad to see they are getting their chances to shine. Also, I see they are hinting something going on with Zero Two as well. I mean she actually kinda pushed away from Hiro in this episode and tried to do a lot of things on her own in the fight. It kinda plays on the part in the last episode where they showed her fangs. Maybe she’s becoming more of a beast than human? Who knows? Either way, I’m glad to see things are moving along now. Inb4 someone may complain that they fat shamed (with what Zorome said to Futoshi) and yuri bashed (scene with Ichigo talking to Ikuno). |
| Don't believe the hype. |
SparkleDuck said: Honestly, it feels like the people hating on this are hipsters. It's easily getting better and better each episode. You should probably learn what "hipster" means. Someone having an opinion that you disagree with doesn't make someone a hipster. |
| Lol, I myself begin to doubt the sexuality of Ikuno, especially seeing her resentment after the failure of synchronization with Ichigo. And this her courageous look in the mecha... Wow. As for Mitsuru and Kokoro.... Well, I have long been shipping them, but I did not think it would be so painful. Nevertheless, it seems that I'm starting to see how the creators see them. Now I was wondering what would happen next with Futoshi and Ikuno. P.S Looking at the flashback, I begin to suspect that the synchronization of Mitsuru and Ikuno was solely based on the power of gayness. I did not misinterpret, he really also wanted to fly one mecha along with Hiro? |

| @DedPanda You have forgotten Miku + Kokoro scenes in the beach episode. If it were moe cute girls show, then they would have been considered lesbians for a long time already on the tumbler. |

| Someone needs to die soon. |
u planning on pointing out what is that u didn't like in my quote? |

Kirigaro92 said: Kokoro is a megaslut. She wasn't obligated to feel the same fatoshi feels, but she wasn't obligated to make a promise to be her partner forever neither, that was just cruel. And to make it worst like 2 scenes after. Worst girl I suspect a little that the creators intentionally "lowered" her to his level, so that it does not look like "fan's hated jerkass gets a nice good girl". |
|
| Futoshi our fatboy didn't deserve this :'( Kokoro going after another man but he takes it pretty well and makes sure mitsuru protects her :'( |
 |
| HAHAHAHA niceguy^tm fatguy completely obliterated by milkman the best episode so far. I'm upping this anime in this season ranking because of this |

| He is all pissy over a fever induced hallucination of a promise that didn't happen in real life |
| So, Hiro was like a hero or leader for other kids when all of them were little children. And, I am looking at current Hiro who is usually on beta mode or mood. What happened to him while growing up? Kirigaro92 said: Kokoro is a megaslut. She wasn't obligated to feel the same fatoshi feels, but she wasn't obligated to make a promise to be her partner forever neither, that was just cruel. And to make it worst like 2 scenes after. Worst girl She is reading the book about how to make babies, she is also looking for perfect partner. Give her some slack. |
| I think most of our questions were confirmed at least when it came to relationships in this episode. Yeah Futoshi was being super creepy with Kokoro but that was him basically being over affectionate. Kokoro is a fucking bitch for wanting to switch partners especially wanting to be partners with Mitsuru. I mean I get she has an interest in Mitsure and it's not fair to judge her based on that. but don't make a promise you know you're not going to fucking keep! It just sucks how the fat guys fucking loses again. I fucking hate that. Kokoro is a KokoHO (lulz?) Now his new partner Ikuno is basically confirmed to wanting to be in a relationship with Ichigo. So where does that leave Futoshi? Back to being a single man in the end. Fucking sucks man. Meanwhile Zero Two is acting super strange. But that hug from behind at the end of the episode...<3 i'd take that any damn day. |

| BEGONE THOT still waiting for them to shift the focus back to 02 |

| Interesting how the squad is putting the cities previous methods of education to shame though. To think that Mitsuru took part in a procedure that boosted his own skills to compensate for his frail body. Looks like Zero is starting to put up walls again and going back to her old self. Ikuno and Kokoro's requests though sure were unexpected. Interesting to see Mitsuru's true self and the reason why his personality turned into this. Looks like Mitsuru's heart was unlocked by Kokoro's determination. A great episode that focused on Kokoro and Mitsuru's development as characters. Learning to forgive others is also what makes us human. Wonder will Kokoro and Mitsuru end up as couple. |

AdolChri said: It isn't about like or disliking, I was laughing at your inability to understand basic human behaviors and signals. well, good for you |
|
| Both 02 and 016 is still clearly the best characters in this show. |
 |
| This episode definitely hinted at Kokoro getting with Mitsuru which kinda pains me as she is my favourite and he is a pretty big asshole, but hey. It is pretty hard to feel bad for Futoshi as he just whines so much but I hope that both he and Mitsuru try to be better for Kokoro. |
Ryuseishun said: Ryunske said: I think this “narrative” is not based on a straightforward plot, but a plot made up of multiple anecdotes or stories with various story aspects dropped in certain moments. Questions appear like: Why did Hiro change from cheerful to depressed? What possible scheme could the adults be up to that could result in such change? What is this serum they were talking about and this disease that flares up in Mitsuru? etc, etc... Darling in the Franxx’s strongest point is the ability to narrate a story without having to shoehorn in obvious plot points and to make the viewer think about what might be happening. It certainly works for the world-building aspect of the series, but does it work for the plot and characters? It’s really up to the viewer’s opinion. Anyways, this episode actually made me appreciate Mitsuru mich more than I had initially thought while making me have mixed feelings for Futoshi. Kokoro seems to be the most human of the cast so far and Ikuno still has a ways to go. Regardless of the character drama, I still enjoyed it. "Shoehorn"? A term I never heard before, but I somehow already can guess what it means...LOL But yea, I agree for the most part with what you said Make sense. I believe we gonna get more filler episodes focus not just on Zert two and 016 |

Someone having an opinion that you disagree with doesn't make someone a hipster. You score the show a 1, bash it on every discussion forum without providing any reason for it being so 'bad', and you're gonna tell me you're not just complaining about it because it's popular? I can understand some people disliking how the past few episodes have been formulaic, but you haven't even explained how it got worse. And I used hipsters correctly, I'm talking about people who may dislike it just for being popular. As I said, I don't have a problem with people elaborating on what they find wrong with it. |

 His name is Mitsuru Is a gay Efortlessly NTR another man and have the girl want to be impregnated by him. How could he so badass? |
| Have a feeling this hasn't moved anywhere for like 5 weeks now.. |
| i feel like for the next few eps their gonna focus more on the character relationships and after they all truly understand eachother, the reql action will start. I canf wait to see whats next!!!! |

Whoahoho said: Oh, so something gay is happening here Mitsuru seems to have hots for Hiro when they're little , Ikuno wants to try a Pestle to Pestle thing with Ichigo...and some cheating as well when Kokoro ditches Futoshi for Mitsuru Could somebody tell me as to what's happening to the Genista when it went into some kind of Stampede mode kind of thing?????? That happens when a parasite tries to operate a FranXX by herself. They turn into an animal like mech as seen in the first episode where Zero Two tried to operate the Franxx by herself and the FranXX turned into a tiger like mech |
|
| I feel like the anime will take a heavy fucked-up turn, I'm ready for it ;D |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Mitsuru X Kokoro confirmed and Mtisuru and Ikuno maybe bisexuals (Ikuno for Ichigo while Mitsuru for Hiro) |
 Milkman is angry because Hiro forgot their promise then come Kokoro she become mama milkman ease the Milkman to sleep. SO MUCH FORESHADOWING. Mama Milk x Milkman |
| Mitsuru is a PLAYER, he be getting those pistils left and right. |
| loved this episode :) ! |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
L85A1Eruuu said: exactly, fatoshi is jsut unappealing, creepy and obsessive while milkman play it edgy and cool. if you are a girl, which one would you choose?Probably my least favorite episode, but not for the same reasons everyone keeps stating. I just wished they'd FINALLY start moving on with some sort of story or even exploring their mysterious world, like what they did with the previous episode. The repetitive bullshit between fighting and drama is getting annoying. Also, we need more Zero Two time. Kokoro did nothing wrong. Futoshi is an annoying, fat, loser and she did the right thing by trying things out with Mitsuru. I honestly hope he gets killed off or something. |

| Really nice episode. After the lull of 3 straight Slice of Life -esque stories we finally got some action and drama again. It shed some light on Mitsuru and actually made him seem less of a douche and more just a childish child. Quite curious on how the first half will end now. |
