| Darling in the FranXX episode 12 was a good one. Now we get to see more of Zero Two's real colors. |
 |
You know something I realized? In the previous version of the opening, everyone is facing forward, except for Kokoro-chan and Mitsuru. It didn't really make sense when their pairs were Futoshi and Ikuno, but now that they are together you can see they're looking at each other. If this isn't the cutest fucking thing...  |

ZingFreelancer said: if they manage to sink that low (again) Trigger will officially be the biggest disappointment of the industryI am going to make a prediction, that during episode 13 our beloved idiot will remember what he has forgotten (probably due to medical procedures). Which will probably include the name he gave 02 when they first met. He will then proceed to squeeze out her name with his last breath, which will in turn shock 02 to the core and snap her out of her berserking state. Comander-07 said: if they play it right (and trigger and a1 totally have the skills to imo, atleast thats what I want to think) this could still end up as an amazing anime No, not even if their life depended on it. Do you remember Aldnoah.Zero and how they botched that show? Not to mention sinking the main ship in one episode. The ending for this show will probably be some kind of mixture between Deadman Wonderland and Eureka Seven. It will probably be as bad as the ending of Guilty Crown. |

| Deym. Zero two is getting crazier and crazier now. She wants to be a human so bad. |
| Welp, 002 has finally lost it. Even taking it out on Hiro now too. |
 |
| pretty good ep. things are finally starting to happen again. also, nice touch altering the OP |
| Bruhhhh Zero Two is really going crazy on us isn't she!! Fuck that! plz return 2 normal best gurl |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Garden is a horrible place!!! 02 horns were bigger :/ |
| Better than average episode. That got pretty intense. So... Zero Two was lied to... kill more to become human... We'll see where this leads. |
  |
| What the hell is happening to Zero Two? What the hell is Zero Two? Damn now it gets interesting. Keep it up. Also, they're showing Ichigo slowly find out the truth along lines while staying behind a corner. She's gonna do something bad and selfish, I've seen this before. |
 |
| Zero Two is turning into a disgusting klauxosaur. Ew. I'm sure she's tranforming. I'm liking the blonde dude. I'm thinking Zero Two might not be the only one of her kind? They might have created other human/klaxosaur hybrids. Obviously Hiro and Zero Two were acquaintances or lovers (kid lovers? barf) at one time which is why she is attracted to him. Hiro finally confessed his love but he's still a fucking idiot and the worst MC of all time. This is in NO WAY AOTY. That's an insult to other series that are leagues better. However, I admit the plot is getting more and more interesting and Hiro is right none of them make it to adulthood. They're all gonna die and Zero Two predicted it. |

-Stray said: blazehero said: Not the time to confess Hiro... Goro and Zorome jealous of blonde Nines, he is going to NTR the entire cast and I'll love it. Please start with Ichigo!!! then red head! I can already see the doujins ( Ν‘° ΝΚ Ν‘°) You guys are nuts... I_LUV_NALU said: So they wiped Hiro’s memory that’s why he can’t remember anything from his past. Zero Two is trying to become human and reunite with her darling which is actually Hiro..... but they don’t recognize each other. I swear to god when they finally realize that they met in the past it’ll be too late. Nah, I dont believe this anime as that kind of balls to go that into mindfuck territory anymore, at least judging from what I have in previous episodes. |
 |
| Good episode. I really don't see the appeal of Zero Two as a waifu, though. She acted bitchy again like in episode 5. |
    |
| Very impressive character development, we finally get to know a bit more! And it also seems Hiro has met Zero Two before in the past... quite interesting and I do wonder what will happen next! |
 |
| Ahh yes... Finally going back to the real story, are we!? This episode got some really fascinating revelations and changes. For one, Zero 2 has become more interesting but even more so after claiming that Hiro is basically just a fodder of life energy like the other (100+) darlings that came before him. Now that's some shocking revelation, unexpected from someone who was portrayed as a new source of hope for Hiro back in episode 1-2. 'A Monster disguised as human' Well well well... The plot THICKENED |
  |
| back to the real story we go |
| oh holy shit ok. So im guessing this is were the ice breaks and we see that the lovely chocolate muffin we've been eating away at casually has raisins in it. No but fr i'm super pumped were they lead this dark and fucked up arc, feels like they've been building up to this moment to show just how fucked up in the head humans can really be by experimenting on children (maybe splicing them with aliens?) God damn feels bad for Zero Two, what ever the higherups are doing to her only seem to be worsening things |
| Great, now best girl went complete retard as well. Guess now I have to root for uhm...wait every main character is either boring or annoying, sheet... |
| Monster and cute?? Are you seriously... |
| Zero Two mentioning she wanted to become human makes me think about this; So it's safe to say the children are not actually born but rather created. Maybe created with the help of a Klaxosaur, the injections could help them surpress their Klaxosaur side. Also Naomi not coming back because she was considered a failure may mean she's a Klaxosaur outside of the Plantation? Especially with the ending, Zero Two having blue blood and a red skin, Klaxosaurs have blue blood aswell. |
 |
| The show is really pulling up all the stops recently. I love how every episode so far has been answering so much stuff and it's only getting more and more interesting from now. Hiro might be the very first Darling she was talking about. |
| Alright finally we are getting somewhere. Had to wade through a bunch of nothing to get here but hopefully 02 history will be unfolded and hopefully as well Hiro can do something to pull her back from full on crazy. Seems this really took its turn after whatever procedure they did to her, wonder if its messing with her mind or if this is just her true self coming out? Either way I am actually a bit interested now. |
 |
| love love love loveeeeeee the OST the backing track during the scene with the 9s was amazing! loved the winter aesthetic of this episode so glad to see futoshi is still kind to kokoro :) feel so bad for the Children, all of them :( i know both have close to nothing in common but a dystopic kind of setting but watching the world building and story unfold is like when i read the giver when i was younger & always wanting to find out more |
 κ€ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing κ€ |
| Finally, some interesting development ! And wow, that was quite something. Despite her apparent self-confidence, Zero Two strongly hates herself, or more specifically hates her appearance that's betraying the fact that she's not human. However I have many questions regarding her. First of all, her behaviour in this episode makes it look like she's gone insane. But is she really going insane or is her true self showing ? After all we barely know her and the show has always been careful at making us remember that. And let's not forget what happened when Ichigo called her a monster (that was a monster right ? It's been a while, I could be wrong). Maybe she really isn't human not just physically, but also mentally. Now I wonder if I should feel for her or not. I mean, I do feel for her. But at the same time, as I said I don't know her. I don't know if she is a good person at heart. And honestly, practically none of what I've seen of her makes me believe she is. She is incredibly dangerous, and if we look at the metaphor behind it, it seems like she is both physically and emotionally abusive. It is hard to know what to think of her, there are so many things we don't know.. I just hope that if she turns out not being a good person, the show won't try to make me believe the opposite because of a sad backstory. That's the kind of things that can make me go from liking to strongly disliking a character if it isn't done right. Now, it looks like her "-saurus thing" blood is transforming her... Interesting. But now Hiro is becoming a victim of it and he isn't aware of it. I wonder what this will lead to. Also, he actually remembers something involving who I believe is Zero Two. So they already know each other, but he forgot about it ? I wonder if Zero Two still remembers. |

| Now I am really started to get Owari no Seraph vibes. The story was just like it the difference is only there are klaxosaurs as villains than vampires. Also the scene of the squad when they were kids reminded me of Owari no Seraph. Not to mention that blonde guy just looks like Mikaela and also they share the same voice actors in dub! |
| Zero 2 is going crazy! Interesting... |
 |
| 002's obsession with being more 'human' is spiraling out of control and she's doing act's out of pure anger and hatred. She's being outrageous at times. Hiro confesses his love for her and she thinks he only likes him for well, her features I guess? Also she isn't pleased with how she looks. The 'curse' 002 carries isn't completely over. Hiro might actually grow horns/fangs and be like her. The Garden and overall the APE facility is working under warps. "You're just fodder to me" Ouch :'( Looks like we'll get a bit of 002 backstory. |
 β βββββ β£ βββββ β "Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself. Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains." β βββββ β£ βββββ β |
| Slowly Hiro is remembering the truth more like his past I guess....I'm so hyped now...Offf to the next episode! |
| A visit from the past as they visit the Garden where it all started for them a nostalgic feel for the group APE Unit 9's a very elegant yet shady group who feels like they knew a lot of things especially about Zero Two coming from that blonde guy he seems to be of a bold character Zero Two's acting very strange here in this episode her aggressiveness is on point and she's hunting for blood unsightly to see but at least we had more screen time from the partner. |
  |
| Whew! Happy to see we are back to plot progression rather than the innuendo stuffs we had during last few episodes. |
 |
| Zero-Two is part-klaxosaur right? Must be some sort of inferiority complex driving her desire to be human. Ironically, her partnering with Hiro seems to be turning him less human and more klaxosaur himself, on a genetic level. It's good to see the plot picking up again. |

| For now it feels like they are being controlled way too much. And if i know anything about humanity, it's that you can't never control them 100%, and there will always comes a moment that someone resists or even fights back. |
 |
| Cool episode, might be favourite so far. |
| o heck yeah we are going full vampire mode mr. suave steal your girl takes advantage of the situation to swoop up Ichigo, man of taste |
| shit's finally happening 0_0 |
