| Complete 180 in this episode. Happy now!? You can stop threatening the staffs! That aside, this episode is totally made to calm down the community. |

| The episode was great tbh. The animation was lit. The reunion of zero two and hiro was impactful, the emotions are there. Its a redemption episode for ichigo. Loved the new design of Strelizia. 5/5 No new episode next week probably recap. |
 |
| Well worth the wait. I am starting to enjoy the entire cast of characters. (Goro still best boy) Great to see things finally picking up in the plot and action department. Having Hiro and 002 meet up was great to see, and the fact that Ichigo helped with that too makes it all the more worth while. This episode was extremely satisfying to watch and unlike last episode I wont have to suffer through this entire week DYING to know what happens. |

LoomyTheBrew said: caio_ken said: People calling Ichigo a bitch or Bitchigo and still hating her are complete retards. It's like those people don't watch the episode when it obvious showed that she finally overcome her flaws both as a person, lover and leader in the end. It was clear that she was worried about Zero Two situation and Goro even points out. Then she see Hiro's memories and she accepts, just like Goro did in the last episode, that she wants them to be happy with each other which she says in the end. It's a fucking resolution for her character that showed during the entire series and people are still in that stupid thing. Ridiculous. Completely agreed. Ichigo is a flawed character like everyone else in the series and this episode really shows how far she has come as a character and showed that she was able to let go of her own selfish wishes in order for Hiro and Zero Two to be happy. I thought it was great development. Some people just have a lot of blind hate towards her and I think that's a shame. I admire her character and how she's been developed, even if I like Zero Two more. People do not care about the logiс of plot, for them it is more important "which ship will win". Therefore, any action of the "wrong" girl will be wrong by default. |
 |
| Heheh this show has redeemed itself. Yes, I know it's that easy to please an entire fanbase but who the fuck cares? I for one don't it loved this episode |
 |
| So are we finally done with the romance crap? I didn't expect I'll have a cringe, particularly that Hiro and Zero Two shouting, once again on watching anime. I just want the damn story about their enemies and these humans. |

Mike98 said: LoomyTheBrew said: I bet people from last week that were throwing tantrums, bitching, and insulting the staff feel like fucking idiots now. Like seriously, last week wasn't the last episode, it serves people right for jumping to conclusions so soon. It's fine to be disappointed or not like an episode, I was disappointed myself, but going ballistic after one episode and demonizing the staff is just ludicrous. Just be patient and see how it plays out. Hell, even if it did play out bad it still does not give you an excuse to personally attack he staff, criticism of the work and their direction is fine, but the personal insults are crossing the line. Dude, people insulted it from episode 6 XD We got to such shitty point, people make opinions on a 24 episode anime's plot from 1 episode. Oh I know people judge a whole show in a short amount of time, but come on you saw, last week was on a whole other level with the threats to the staff, personal insults, and "Ichigo must die!!!", some people were taking it a little too far lmao. It was enough of a splash for a lot of people to notice that the rage had gone too far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmjPaEnBZzw&t=1s haves_ said: LoomyTheBrew said: ...Goro is the one true bro...

SNDT said: tambi33 said: I see that your signature explains your quality of English, I was initially gonna say I couldn't understand what you were trying to say but after reading it twice/thrice. I don't know if the NINE's girls are all that androgynous, but yeah, it's stupid to call them homosexual since their franXX's design could be different. I mean, they even had horns... So they probably took a leaf out of Zero Two's franXX's design. I don't know That alpha dude said "You did well, for humans" Well, since he also praises the "unique franxx of the 13th squad", it can be assumed that they are the same hybrids as 02. |

| I think all that salt from ep 15 has been solved. Ichigo deserves the MVP title after all she's done. "I'm happy for you two", now that's a good and caring friend. Now that she's finally put a dot after all the drama, I hope she can find a nice person like Ikuno or Gobro (although it feels like a rebound). Man, after seeing how 02 regretted how she was using Hiro, I hope she realizes what she's done to other stamens as well. Maybe she was forced into doing it, who knows. But that girl definitely deserves another chance (and a name). I hope reddit finally returns to a place discussing the story in the background and theories and not a waifu war. Gran Crevasse, Horny construction etc. really sound interesting. |

| Trigger and A-1 what are you up to? eps 13 - best episode eps 14 - worst episode ever eps 15 - best episode v2 I don't even know if i should be happy or no about the next episode xD But now back to the episode. OMG!!! Wasn't expecting for their reunion to be so soon xD But i'm happy about that. A lot of great action with epic fights in this episode. And that ending scene was really good with the soundtrack. I don't know what was the best part of this episode, Hiro's return to 02 or all of those "wtf is this" moments. I was expecting this for a long time ago that the Klaxosaurus had humans inside them, but watching a human falling from it's core was one of those "wtf" situations. And that hand in the end... It was kinda expected that the Papa and his team aren't actually doing anything good, and little by little we are getting more of what is really happening. Can't wait to see when they will uncover the truth and do something about it. So many secrets to be unveiled, and we still have so many episodes!!! Aside from Hiro, Goro was the man in this episode. I've been waiting for this episode since ever xD Now i'm so curious about their world and what Papa and his team are actually doing. Best moments :3   |

Longing4Abyss said: BTW they just announced they'll be taking a 1 week hiatus. Episode 16 is in 2 weeks. Oh damn. I am worried I will loose my immersion. :( But i think i will rewatch these 3 latest episodes before watching the 16th. |
Both are garbage lol |
| This episode was a relief and I really liked the vertical text that appeared during the episode. So you could 'sense' Zero Two's presence eventhough she wasn't on screen. It was a well executed episode in my opinion. I liked how they painted out the emotions and the sequences and actions of everyone. Ichigo was a good girl. *pat pat*. Very nice episode! Please keep this up. :) |
Danae said: God that was so..... bad lmao And I am not saying that because I prefer Ichigo since I don't have any problem with Zero Two whatsoever. The writing was just lame and poor. It was like they decided to scrap last episode and make a U turn out of nowhere, with no regards to continuity. If you're gonna write episode 14 like that, then you should make it obvious that you're not doing it just for the sake of the NTR/ waifu drama. You can't make the characters change from one moment to the next. What happened in 20 mins: - Ichigo's resolution to try and protect Hiro from Zero Two suddenly disappeared. Zero Two is suddenly no threat according to her - Everyone-for some reason- thinks it's perfectly okay to discuss that crap in the middle of the battle. Hiro's comrades were okay with that, despite the obvious danger and legit possibility of dying - Zero Two and Hiro's break up had no actual impact. They just said 'yeah...sorry lol' and now they're back to the loving couple they were And I wouldn't mind either of these choices above. What I do mind is all of this having no build up, actual consequences or time. It was rushed and it didn't allow the characters to evolve and mature. 1/5 Agreed, there was really no point to the forced drama in the previous episode. Probably just done for controversy so people talk about this anime more.. |
| Last ep's issue resolved already and the klaus enemies might be made from humans. The higherups don't care about sacrificing any lives either as long as tey can wipe them out, it's probably one of their experiments gone wrong. |
 |
this scene  is a deception of the authors, hiro broke his horns.It will be the end, where they have rebelled and walk under the cherry tree inside a plantation. Their are in a plantation because you can see the dome.  Probably the rebellion has conquered a plantation walk happy hiro/02! |

It was an amazing episode and pay-off exactly because of that and how the love triangle was finally resolved. |

Ok I get people really really love this show, but lets not act like it's the second coming of Jesus alright. EVERY show wants its fanbase to feel something. Whether it succeeds or not varies but dont act like the show doesn't have the same goals in mind compared to every other show. |
Longing4Abyss said: Fujimiya said: Hiatus on second half season episodes?hmm.........i smell that they gonna made revision of final arc at this point, maybe because negative reaction of eps 14 OR they gonna end the story Darling in the Franxx in MOVIE format. Is there any chart of bluray selling of vol 1 of Franxx blu ray? No idea, all they said is that next week episode is gonna be a behind the scenes with staff interview and such, probably a "making of DITF" too. From what I've heard, it should be because of the Golden Week in Japan. |
| y'all better get grip coz the journey starts here |
 |
 Whoa, those guys with horns , you mean to tell me that they're like 02 's , so if they have a bunch of these guy why do they need them kids like the squad 13 to do the fight when they can make a lotta those 02's in the 1st place |

It's a fucking resolution for her character that showed during the entire series and people are still in that stupid thing. Ridiculous. I disagree with your 'leader' part about Ichigo. I still like her, but if Goro was the leader, we would be having a beach party soon; no more papas, apes, klaxosaurs. I was just worried about Goro there when he was left in the middle of battlefield. So, the Apes is living in a flying fortress? I bet they will crash down by a middle finger of that klaxosaur. Well, Goro can't be the leader because aside of Zero Two and Nines, Ichigo is the best soldier of the squad so she'll be the leader of them regardless. And while Goro display qualities of leader, he don't have the fard to be the actual leader and can do the decisions without the position itself. I'm sure that if he was in Ichigo position he would be way worse. What is there now is for the best with Ichigo as a leader and Goro acting as her support. And what I meant with Ichigo as a leader and being a better one is that now she isn't emotional about Hiro anymore so her only problem as leader is now out of the question and she can be better as one. |
| That was surprisingly good stuff. But boy that council has some shit going on that is making me wonder. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Hate mail, slander, and death threats over an issue resolved in the very next episode. I'm guessing most people knew this episode would clear everything up, but it still shocks me that people took it that far. I just wonder how people will take it when one of them (Hiro or Zero Two) is eventually killed off. |
| I don't care much about this damn ship the plot just became x100 better. That Hand of judgement though. |
| God damn this episode was awesome. I'm so fucking happy that this separation thing between Hiro and Zero Two did not last. Their reunion was so beautiful, that it completely redeemed last episode for me. Also Nine Alpha confirmed that gay couples can pilot FranXX's. That's really interesting, and I'm hoping that they'll explore that idea some more in the future. |
| Everyone excited about Hiro and 02 and that's fine. But now that the character drama and romance building stuff has seemingly come to a conclusion I'm more excited that the plot is seemingly kicking into full overdrive here. Did everyone just forget that the entire show is probably going to be turned on its head from here on out? Plantation 13 just basically got completely destroyed by that hand at the end. It's revealed that cores actually have humans inside them, and APE and what ever else is going on behind the scenes are all up to some completely crazy shit. The entire tone and format of the show will probably change from this point out. I expect in the coming episodes we will get some interesting reveals about the world and the plot and probably see squad 13 turn against the adults. |
| Unexpected a reunion so early, also can't believe Ichigo 180 turn so fast and easy without any resistance, but is ok, i prefer this that full episodes of forced drama and river of tears. But, seems another threat between Hiro and Zero Two is coming (at least from the reaction of Zero Two), maybe they will reveal who are these blue monsters (incompatible pilots turned into mobs?) and the origin of Zero Two. 5/5 AvidAnimeViewer said: Hate mail, slander, and death threats over an issue resolved in the very next episode. I'm guessing most people knew this episode would clear everything up, but it still shocks me that people took it that far... People who send death threats should be send by force to a psychological facility, they do not deserve also to be called fans. Really, the ep 14 showed the whole immaturity and degradation of some people in the anime fandom. |
