Darling in the Franxx is not the best anime in 2018, but it is the most important.

Remember Re:Zero? The way both that and FranXX shot up in popularity is strikingly similar, and Re:Zero isn't talked about a lot today, which I imagine will happen to FranXX when it finishes.

I can't deny that Darling in the Franxx is a popular anime but with all the sequels from this year, i think that it will buried in oblivion. I don't understand your meaning of 'cultural significance'. It doesn't have anything like that. It's just some weird drama, forced situations and casual fanservice. I use the word 'popular' because i will be attacked if i said something bad about this anime. Did you remember the most popular anime from the last season called Violet Evergarden? We all forget about it because it was so overhyped before the first episode. In the end, it had no significance/cultural moments. It's the same with this anime.

2nd time i saw a comment like that where are your SOURCES that everyone one forgot about something lol i dont get it btw if you are actually speaking about something you surely didnt forget it

It's normal when something is overhyped. Do you remember Aldnoah Zero? Everybody talked a lot about that years ago (2014-15). Now, nobody gives a fuck about that anime. They are many examples.

I actually want to know what anime are still talked about years after they finished because i dont see 1 example

In 6 weeks times, this anime will fade into obscurity and absolutely no one will remember or talk about it again.

Outside of the occasional waifu wars, simply because Zero Two is so hugely popular, by the time Winter rolls around, this will just be another failed and poorly written mecha anime.



Really? I can name a few that are staples in almost all anime discussions.

- Sword Art Online
- Mahouka
- Mars of Destruction (even something bad can become Legend)
- Boku no Pico (for the memes, i bet you forgot this was also anime LMAO)
- Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, MHA, basically any popular shounen

There are alot more I'm sure.

You don't see Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tale, HunterxHunter, One Punch Man even D. Gray Man talked about in most anime discussions, atleast ones tending to the shounen side? (OPM is still running, and HxH is on perma hiatus, but everything else is complete)

And yes, I can know, and it doesn't take much to make such statements.

Outside of Rem, is anyone or anything from Re:Zero discussed at all? Outside of the memes, does anyone care about Re:Zero, and the hype train on that anime was significantly higher than that of DitF. Ergo that was based on a long running LN and DitF is a Nishigori original.

Outside of the amazing OST of Aldnoah, when was the last time it was brought up? Lets add in Guilty Crown and Qualidea Code here as well since Egoist, Supercell and Lisa are fucking insane.

I based all my statements above on one simple observation. Patterns. They tend to repeat, all the time. Most people can tell the post fate of an anime after it finishes airing. And DitF will be the same.
