| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh, the mood between Ichigo and Goro feels kinda awkward since his confession. Still, I think this episode picked up business and I'm actually kinda glad it decided to give Zorome more screen time besides just comic relief. I think it was interesting to see a more curious side of him and interacting with the people that works there. Not much action this episode but I think it's fine. I'm also curious to learn more about the adults. Seems like the woman that talked to Zorome knows him... Also, Zero Two acted strange this episode. Rather than her usual self, she seems a bit more withdrawn. |

| I think It's better to wait the traduction . |
| I only watched the raw but that ending leaves me perplexed, hopefully the climax starts next episode to solve all these mysteries. |
| I was very into Zorome development. Out of all the children I feel like he and Miku are the most likely to make it out of the series. A bit more insight into the lives of the city. It's sad really. What is the purpose of living if you cannot truly enjoy real feelings, conversations, and emotions? Zorome will argue and bicker with Miku but I think he understands that he needs her after that conversation. |

| Good episode. Zorome is a good kid, he might be loud mouthed and obnoxious at times but he treasures his friends and family. :( So the big hats actually have people under them. The city looked really cool but as Zero-Two states it feels lifeless somehow. Based of from what we saw this episode, I'd say it looks like these people have evolved to the point everything they need is given to them and they feel no need to interact. It's a weird monotonic, routined and robotic sort of lifestyle to the point they even Happiness machines? It's kinda like that 'Utopian world' that antagonists in a lot of anime try to achieve. Only here, it already exists. xD The children seem to be considered infected with something as earlier hints have led us to believe. I felt a little sad for Zorome as he cried and asked the old lady to be his friend later when he grew up. :( Zero-Two with the long canine teeth at the end. :o |
 |
| The squads teamwork sure has improved significantly. Seems that this is causing some differences of opinion in APE though. So under normal circumstances they aren't allowed in the city huh. Wow the city really is something though. The insight into the adults that live in the city was interesting though. I wonder though is the happiness that the old man gains the strength of his partner. The partnership that the adults have looks pretty different as well. Miku will surely blush if she heard Zorome's words for sure. An relaxing but an interesting episode that also raised some interesting questions. |

| We learned more about the world and the world they are living in is far more dystopian than I thought it would be. That city and everything in it was really eerie. |
| That was painful to watch. Zorome is such a good kid and the circumstances about this meet-up with the woman were just sad. Zorome speaking well of Miku was also <3 Also getting crucial information in this episode in particular with the parasites and how they are looked down upon. |
| Episode focussed on Zorome and him learning that partners weren't just there to pilot FranXX. [/s]And lol old people don't have sex anymore, but artifcally stimulate their brains[/s] Dem teeth,tho. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Seems a bit like brave new world with old people. Everyone is old. They make children artificially, they eat artificially, they feel joy the same way. They are indeed dead. |

What will the last two episodes of the first half (1-12) bring to the table in terms of plot progression? Most likely it will end with the kids knowing their fate or such. |
| Ugh I hated seeing poor Zorome being treated like that. He is annoying sometimes but he's a good kid at heart, this episode was fantastic in terms of development for him. Also, we got some much-needed world building in this episode. Apparently, the kids are infected and will die before they become adults. That's confirmed at least |
 |
| This episode puzzles me. (Idk if i can say that in english) The behavior of adults, what they say .. And 002 in this episode ... Especially the end ... I do not know what to think. |
What the fuck is this shit? LUL |
| So they did a Zorome episode and it was good. I don't think they'll make it to adulthood one way or another. It was sad to see how those guards were talking bad about Franxx pilots and infected with what exactly? The story is progressing nicely. Wonder what's going on with zero two this episode. That mirror might have been a bad idea. |
| So many boobs in fairy tail, it's crazy. |
| So they mentioned that these kids are infected? that they are victims? ... then acording to their number I suspect that lower number means worse infection? |
| This was a fascinating episode with Zorome visiting an adult's home. That lady could be his biological mother. The city is an eerie place and I want to learn more about it. Zorome is a very good kid. He got some good development. Zero Two's fangs look longer. |
 |
| Zero Two leaves out her investigation with the result that her klaxoside begins to show (growing teeth like in episode 6). Basically means that she constantly gets some kind of antiode to oppress her transformation into the red, long horned form. Oh man I wonder how this plays out and if she is doing that on purpose. |
| I never really liked Zorome but I actually kind of liked this episode that focused entirely on him. We learned a lot about their world and their environment from this episode. There were more hints about how the kids are infected and most likely won't survive into adulthood (I really wanted to know what the old lady was about to say before it got cut off). Overall this episode was kind of depressing, as we see how this world isn't as perfect as it seems (just look at the old lady's relationship with her partner for example). |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| I really feel bad for how that world turned out since the klaxosaur invasion, especially regarding the adults. At least from this episode we get a bit more insight of what's going on behind the scenes, and a sad reality check for Zorome. |
 |
| Great, just what we needed, more damn questions with no answers... what the fck is going on in this show. That old lady is definitely his mother, too much foreshadow of it. And now whats gonna happen to 02? but those fangs sure are tasty. |
  |
| Watch out Hiro, she has some teeth... I'm looking forward to the next battle. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| A1 same face syndrome strikes again. The granny looks exatcly like the dead kid in that one show. |
| Great episode, but more interestingly I wonder who began this absurd costume phase for like future/alien elites in media? It transcends cultures, The Time Lords, those gold people in Guardians of the Galaxy, the time asterisk in the Bravely Series, this, and many more things I've seen. |
| Jaywalker. |
| Man, after what old lady told, our characters are actually lucky, living together, enjoying human interaction, then again, everything is locked in Zero Two; she knows all of it and looking for an exit. Zorome's conclusion for male/female pair piloting Franxx is welcomed. We still have more questions and less answers again. |
| finally an episode better than a 6/10. i wish the show focused on the world more in this way. this episode was very creepy and sad, and it's a shame the rest of the show has been pretty shallow |
 |
| Summary. They won't have good adult life xD |
| Is it me or was he dreaming about his birth or something similar? The light, the warmth and the final scream. Was that old woman releated to him somehow? She's not his mother but there should be a connection with him because as soon as she died (my assumption as she was sick) he stopped having these strange dreams. Let's wait and see. Perhaps they are sick children who doesn't have a long life expectancy and are given to military as weapons. |

This ep 1, 02 has the growing teeth so for methis that scene in ep 1 it will be about half the series, for me |
| Some mysterious city with some mysterious adults. More screen for the annoying kid. This episode was predictable. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Love how the series is taking itself. It seems as though we are being exposed to each pair of Squad 13 to attach ourselves to, not just with Hiro and Zero Two. |
 |
| So sad episode :( enjoyed it tho |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| This remind me with a movie on dystopian future where technology has advanced but also ruled by dogmatic ruler like Darling, sex straightly banned. People sex using VR things and reproduce via tube. I forgot the tile but believe it was movie starred by Sylvester Stalone, anybody know what's the name? |
| Why i have feeling that old women was Zorome family? Maybe mother? |
