| Oh, my man Futoshi he's such a great guy. And here i was hoping to see some girl on girl action scene at least that's what i thought after watching the preview for this episode. Not a good episode as i've expected it to be. |
| Hopefully now they will realize Papa isn't on their side, that they've all been indoctrinated, and that something really bad is coming. REBELLION IS ON THE HORIZON. Zero Two's dream was very clearly a vision, a big steamy ball of foreshadowing. I thought the wedding would be the first good thing to happen to any of the characters but boy was I wrong. Kokoro and Mitsuru went from being my 2nd least favorite couple to my tied first favorite (with Zero Two and Hiro). Good episode. I'm hyped |
 |
| Kokoro was beautiful and Mitsuru was a lucky bastard, ...for 5 seconds. |
| Boring episode with a predictable ending with the capture but not with the brainwash. That was nice. Seems like we are finally gonna be getting some story that matters next week. THANK GOD! |
| Lmfao, after being explicitly told that they were being watched they still have the guts to make a wedding and act like "oh shit, didn't knew this was going to happen" Sucks for Ikuno what this "papa" Franxx system is homophobic lmfao Can we please just move on with this teenage crap? Its heading nowhere as we don't know yet who this "papa" is, Nines are still a complete mystery, Klaxo princess basically serves no purpose than just foreshadowing the "Epic final battle" 1/5 |

thekillfra said: RobertBobert said: Damn, this episode gives more questions than answers. Ikuno confessed to Ichigo? Yes, but she did not give an answer. Kokoro and Mitsuro married? Yes, but the Papa and the Nines intervened. I even do not want to talk about flashbacks. Eventually, this episode teases even more than a preview of the past. Considering that Ichigo made the similarity with her and Hiro I would say that it is quite clear is over, she unlike the time with Goro she did not say I can not answer you now, she simply explained that it's okay to feel that way and that the feelings even if painful they are part of life, among other things, the hair clipper has been named again to say that it is different from before ..... The problem is that this actually turns Ikuno into a lesbian version of Goro and the transformation of Ichigo into Hiro vol 2, while Mitsuru and Kokoro become Hiro and 02 vol 2. This is some kind of perverse trolling. |

| In episode 16 we seen 02 drawing with her right hand, in episode 18 she is using her left hand. Predictable writing and inconsistent character traits, that is what this show will be remembered for. And also 02, because she is a rather adorable character. |

Longing4Abyss said: So this episode confirms this anime is trash. 6 episodes left is not enough for a good rest of the story. This anime has been driving himself to a corner for a long time already, should have been obvious since they spent 18 episodes on doing almost nothing but pointless drama |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Futoshi is the biggest man out of them, good guy. I can't remember the last time I was this revolted and angry about the anime episode. Fuck them for doing that to them. |
| Pretty underwhelming. Last two episodes could have been easily put together into one. Remember when people were excited about the Gran Crevasse door open. |
| I had my suspects about something, but this chapter just confirmed it. Hiro is the narrator of the story, he's narrating it, the show is him talking about the past, and sadly, chap 18 confirmed it with the "the time time I spent smiling with you is full of happines", he's talking about that moment, about these episodes where we had 002 smiling. He's talking about her like, if in the present, 002 isn't there anympre. Bad Ending is just confirmed |
| Welp no happiness for anyone it looks like they may remember a few ep's from now but it is unlikely I think. |
on 
| Can something happen already? |

| Seriously fuck Nines and APE for ruining Hiro and friends lives, and everything. We still have 6 episodes left for the series ending. I hope they don't rush too much for that. :0 (I'm expecting the mecha action next week or 2 weeks from now) |
| It was a decent episode, except all the gay shit. Just when Mitsuru and Kokoro were about to kiss those f**king bastards interrupted it. And they have now memories altered and don't remember each other and that they love each other :( Zero Two now is starting to remember the peoples who killed..I can see the death flag raising :(( |
 |
| I am so pissed right now, I hope the klaxosaur princess will kill the Nine’s and Papa and those damn APE human wannabes. I’m 100% certain that Mitsuru & Kokoro memories will return, I mean Hiro got his memories of Zero Two return. I miss the actions though. |
 |
| On a good note, the two still live, bad news they've had their memories altered, they don't seem to even remember each other so it wasn't even a roll back. Another good thing to note is as 02 said their memories were altered much the same as Hiro and her's so there's the chance they'll regain them in time. Being put with the rest of the squads gives them a chance to fight back against the APE dues, though I am not sure how if at all squad 13 will rally the rest. They could just fish out all the secret emotions and insecurities all the squads held within themselves or they could simply chop off the head single handedly. I foresee at least a bittersweet ending in the future. P.S. It is safe to say that Kokoro isn't pregnant, at least not anymore. Zorome mentioned weeks and given the thoroughness of APE I severely doubt they would have missed that. For now the Futisho-bros can take a breather, "Whorekoro" or "Hokoro" paid the price for whatever y'all think she did wrong. I wonder if Futoshi will seize this opportunity or will he respect their wishes and try to help them remember. |
| the problem not was the wedding, was that they fucked like appes in heat while hachi was looking |

This anime has been driving himself to a corner for a long time already, should have been obvious since they spent 18 episodes on doing almost nothing but pointless drama It's a coming of age story set in a dystopic world. The drama is the point of the story. Yes, there's only 6 episodes left but if you're familiar with Trigger's other works a ton can happen in a short time. I think we just watched the come before the relentless storm. It's on now! |
HAHAHA FBI OPEN UP man, what the fuck this show turned to.. my god, it was unbearable. fucking 17 episodes of build-up and only NOW you're turning the plot point FMmatron said: Wtf, a wedding? And Futoshi acting as the pastor ? Lmao.when will we get the baby,tho, or was it aborted But welp,dream wedding got interrupted and memories were changed.A chance for Futoshi ? a chance for double NTR? double burn seems good lmao |

MonkeyDJasper said: If you actually used your brain and cognitive functions , you would know the plot is the kids learning the truth of who they are and surviving . This is a character drama that just happens to take place in mech . That's pretty much a huge chunk of any post-apocalyptic setting/dystopian. If it were just for the mecha fights I would've dropped it a while ago. The character interactions while bare bones at times is a big chunk of why people watch entertainment. I have no words for anyone who doesn't get that. |
| I feel like Ikuno's confesion came out of the blue, with no prior development that leads to it. It was just kinda thrown into our faces and we're just supposed to accept it. |
 |
| lel, I feel pretty funny and pathetic about guys who say Mitsuru and Kokoro deserve it even tho the cucked boy is saying he want to congratulates them first. I guess if the wedding goes right, Futoshi gonna be the next Hachi, since obviously Hachi's also got NTR'd in the past. How about the baby tho? did they abort it, or Mitsuru fail to make the baby in the first place? xD Now, how do they adapt with the battle field. Since Mitsuru and Kokoro is partner and their memories is altered, I figure that will effect their formation, will they back to the old partner? or will they still put them in the same robot, increasing the chance for both of them remember again. hah, dem death flag. it's obvious that Drawing book will never completed, or the moment its complete, Zero two gonna gone. |

Yep, this is our new love triangle. thekillfra said: RobertBobert said: The problem is that this actually turns Ikuno into a lesbian version of Goro and the transformation of Ichigo into Hiro vol 2, while Mitsuru and Kokoro become Hiro and 02 vol 2. This is some kind of perverse trolling. in reality no Ikuno here is Ichigo with Hiro, she falls in love for the name as Ichigo with Hiro, the "violent" and possessive reaction, the crying and the fact that she can not accept the fact that she does not correspond, I would say the contrary to Goro, the characters are very different, and that Ikuno was lesbian was clear from the first episodes same thing of Kokoro's attraction to Mitsuru, they simply shut down the pending things, before the final It's not about "whether she was a lesbian before." It's about the fact that now Ikuno begins to occupy the same place in the plot as Goro in terms of romance. Now for me it's like a love triangle between Hiro, Ichigo and Ichigo-Guy |

Hatsuyuki said: I feel like Ikuno's confesion came out of the blue, with no prior development that leads to it. It was just kinda thrown into our faces and we're just supposed to accept it. It was implicit, subtle but there. Her aversion to Mitsuru (apart from him being a douche at the time), her suggestion of pistil to pistil connection, no interest in any male character. I mean in actuality this doesn't mean someone is gay but you know how anime loves to pair up their characters. In a show where this is strongly implied and tied to sex you have to ask yourself why would she want to have her ass poked out in front of Ichigo? |
VinnyLam said: I'm not trying to complain, but I wish this show would focus a little more on the mecha fights. It's turning into a teenage love drama. Cause that's what it is. The mecha is just part of the world. If you want mecha battles go watch Gundam. People need to realize this series is a character drama and has had a lot of development. That's what the plot is and it's been there since day one. |
| This episode was very underwhelming, at some point even cringe Wish the show actually focused on the story about klaxosaurs/the princess/how the world ended up in this state/the purpose of all that shit which "papa" is doing, this is what would make this anime great |
Hatsuyuki said: I feel like Ikuno's confesion came out of the blue, with no prior development that leads to it.

He did the most non-creepy thing by wishing them the best. A friend once told me; "Sometimes you have to love someone enough to let them go." These are one of those situations. Seriously what was he gonna do? Rape Kokoro? Kill Mitsuru? He has to respect their wishes, period. That's really the best you can do for yourself at times. As far as "the baby", yah. I severely doubt they would've missed that, especially given how there was constant surveillance. I think they'll maintain the same partner layout. I mean it has had proven results. Ikuno can function well with Futoshi and Mitsuru X Kokoro works far better for the former. I doubt they're concerned about their memories returning (though it has happened at least twice [Hiro and 02 and Nana]) Especially considering that an extreme event had to take place to bring one of those back. At worst they'll brainwash them again, there doesn't seem to be any mention of damage, otherwise. Not sure, somehow I feel they'll all survive, they've got a lot of mooks to possibly team up with. Though, as I have mentioned how will they rally them I dunno. But then again this is anime. It's a common occurrence to rally thousands to their deaths with little but a few vague sentences. VinnyLam said: I'm not trying to complain, but I wish this show would focus a little more on the mecha fights. It's turning into a teenage love drama. Also, this episode gave me a good idea of who the real antagonists are. I think we've past that point about 14 episodes ago.

That's what the plot is and it's been there since day one. I'm writing a story with meches and spaceships. My biggest concern isn't really the mechas but how the characters will interact. The conflicts, politics and effect on people lives. It's pretty easy to make a cool mecha no one can beat, but how does a character carry on knowing he is constantly butchering countless souls? Does he feel remorse? why he continue? Does he have a choice? Is there an end goal or is he just trying to be the baddest mech pilot this side of Gundam? |

| Expected either the men in black or the 9s were going to crash the wedding and they both showed up. At least Hachi cares enough to put in an appearance. Letting them both keep the rings though. Either not thorough or Dr. Franxx ordered them kept. Looking forward to a 9s vs. Squad 13 showdown, even better if they win without Strelizia. All resources being concentrated for the final humans vs. klaxosaur campaign, some cliffhangers imminent. |

| That unexpected yuri LOL Anyway, I felt sad for Kokoro and Mitsuru... |
