| Soooo that's the famous Darling in the Franx, certainly gave me Guren Lagann vibes. Was a pretty solid first episode, did not feel boring at all. |
| She's so cute, xD... Kiss. |
| Damn animation is on point, first episode already pulled me in, wanting to know more about this world. Definitely a lot of NGE vibes obviously but I don't mind. Few questions though; - How has Hiro never seen a Klaxosaur before, surely they'd learn about them in history books or maybe seen them outside their walls before? - Why in the world were they that unprepared for a sudden attack, just some cannons on the outside walls and no FranXX ready to fight at any time? I hope Hiro isn't going to be another Shinji. 002 is a sexy character, maybe a bit over the top with the sexualization but she's cool. Kinda silly for even the FranXX to be sexualized though. Already a lot of questions about the world and that makes me excited ^^ |

| It looks like studio TRIGGER is behind this one, that fact alone is reassuring. Very interesting lore being setup behind this story from the very first shots, it looks promising. |
| It was a very fast-paced episode... Maybe a bit too much. I had a hard time understanding what was going on but I guess it'll be slowed down in the next episodes so I don't want to judge yet. This episode gave me some FLCL vibes on some levels... Especially with the whole symbolic behind the mechas (no, I didn't understand it just by watching this ep, I already knew about it but I didn't know how they'd handle it). Zero Two also kinda reminds me of Haruko. Speaking of Zero Two, she's the only reason why I started this show as she's very popular and seems to be the type of character I would enjoy. Well, for now her character seems to be quite interesting. It looks like she has a lot to offer. I unfortunately got spoiled some stuff about her but not everything so I'm looking forward to see how she'll be developed. (Though I hope it won't be as predictable as I imagine it to be, especially since for now, Zero Two doesn't seem to be very unique as far as personality goes.) |

| Giving this show a go, two years behind us want to see what the hype is all about and if it is as good/terrible as is claimed. This first episode has me interested, I guess it has Euruka 7 and Evangelion threads running through it. Plus fanservice of course. Hope it doesn't get too blatant with it though, got to treat this like seasoning, no going overboard. |

| really liked the first episode!! i'm hardly into mecha or action but i love the setting, the character designs, the art direction, i'm impressed! love the animation and art style it's right up my alley, and it's refreshing to see a balanced amount of girls & boys leading into the series. MC is a little underwhelming at the moment tho but zero two is so cute & i like her personality! |
 ꕤ 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 ꕤ |
| hmmn, looks interesting anime, though ep 1 was a bit confusing, actually difficult to comprehend. zero two is bold and i loved that. |
 |
| I am not a big mecha fan but this seems great! This is the first Mecha anime I am watching and guess what! It began with a kiss WOW!!! So many ppl say ZeroTwo is one of the best girl. Umm let's see ;) . Also I see something's burning up. °_° |
| A kiss on the first episode?!?!?! Interesting. |
 |
| I don't know what to say :> |
| Hmm a pretty confusing start. The sudden fan-service scene though lol ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The fight was pretty amazing. Wth the kissed in the first episode lol. Still I think the buildup wasn't that great and the details aren't it feels like a bunch of different and unexplained thigs are tossed together. Let's see how it turns out. |

Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains." ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ |
| Well an awesome start....we have robot like things called Franxx fighting against Klaxosaurs....Moving forward |
| The introduction itself seems so good and interesting I like the vibe of the setting of this apocalyptic planet very much 02's introduced in the mid part in the episode is amusing while she's naked and appearing right in front of Hiro and he gets all embarrassed and feeling awkward around her well she is naked and all pretty much self-explanatory The action picked up fast here in the first episode quite good to see it first hand at the beginning of the episode, I very much look forward to what's going to happen next. |

| Zero Two 😍😍😍😍😍 Wow, that is QUALITY! Animation is so smooth, the atmosphere is serious too! Franxx certainly looks unique 🤨 |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| Apart from the overly effete and helpless MC, this is an interesting first episode. Klaxosaurs are some sort of robotic theropod? Zero-Two is definitely carrying it so far. |
