| Mecha?? I thought it was waifu bait porn anime? |
 |
| I'd say if it did, the impact of Darling in the Franxx to the mecha genre was very and undeniably bad. |
 |
| I don't think it will have much if any impact on the mecha genre. |
 |
| I think it was too small to affect the mecha genre, they sold good but 10 years from now we won't be talking about it. As for the waifu war genre it made a huge contribution. |
    |
| it likely wont result in an increase of mecha shows :( |
 |
| I doubt that the show ll have a big effect on the mecha genre as a whole because seasonal anime become almost irelevant regardless of their popularity just a few weeks/months after they stop airing. Once the next waifu war anime comes out nobody ll talk about the show anymore. |
| Sure it had mechs but FranXX was more of a teenage drama soap opera than a mecha anime. |
 |
| It gave mecha anime a bad name of what was supposed to be a comeback, at least we still have gundam. |
| To influence the genre anime has to be really unique and extraordinary. Which Franxx is not, since it doesn't have any original ideas, it's just a mashup of ideas from different popular anime (Eva, Guilty Crown, Lagann etc.) |
| Honestly, if it has any effect at all, I can almost guarantee it won't be a positive one. It could incentivize creating shows that try to hard to be other shows that they lose their own identities, or could force mecha shows to invest even more in waifu marketing than they do in mecha marketing (like one FranXX's case, assuming Eva and Geass haven't inadvertently done this already, which still isn't a big trend with mecha). It could even bring back the rise of post-Eva mecha shows that Dies out somewhere in the mid-2000's. I don't see other possible negative impacts, and even those two are pushing it (and arguably already exist in the case of the former). The only remotely positive impact I see being even remotely plausible would be the idea of having more anime be full-on collaborations between several studios. And yes, a large part of why I only really see negative is because I only really see negative aspects of this show. I am hard-pressed to find something worth complements about FranXX. |

| OP it affected merchandise and stage plays in Nippon that's for sure lol. Aquamirror said: Mecha?? I thought it was waifu bait porn anime? waifu bait porn anime?? I thought it was *cheap waifu bait porn anime. |

| Darling in the Franxx doesn't really have much mecha when comparing to other mecha anime,like Gundam and Frame Arm Girls as what I have heard of. |
 Life is empty without anime |
| i really doubt it's gonna influence the genre in the slightest it turned out to be nothing at all interesting or innovating |
 |
| It suck. Overrated anime of the year. I thought it was a soft ecchi/harem/porn anime. Forgot it was mecha. |
 |
| It may actually have some impact on the mecha genre if that actually was one of the main hooks. But no, it was just seasonal waifu bait. |

| mecha genre xD I like mecha genre but this anime is bad in every sense. 99% don't give a fuck about the robots, maybe a 1% care about it......80% about the forgettable waifu bait Zero Two. 19% or 20% about the plot. All I care about is the bad plot. |

| It was probably intended to be like Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, etc, where it would revive the mecha genre and up it's popularity, but it instead made it worse. If you're looking for a good mecha anime, please look at ones from the 80s and 90s, |

Cabron said: Indeed, that show was somewhere in development before Eva came out, but obviously, there's still the possibility that Tomino worked some of Eva's idea into the script given how much later Brain Powerd came out, not that this is a guarantee. Brain Powerd's ideas generally aren't that different, often coming off as a sort of reverse of Eva (kids are the parents of these mechs instead of the other way around, and yet the kids in both are orphans with daddy and/or mommy issues that are important to their roles in the narrative. Can't comment much on RahXephon since I haven't seen it, but it is considered to be one of these shows. De;Va goes hardcore on apeing from Eva to the point of having incredibly similar names for its characters as to those from Eva, and a character called Dr. Anno, and some important plot ideas lifted from Evangelion. Sure, some of the ideas in Eva had existed before, but there's a reason there wasn't a show that was all that comparable to Eva until after Eva came out, outside of certain ideas presented in works like Ideon and Gunbuster.CodeBlazeFate said: RahXephon was more of a modern update of Raideen from the 70s.

| It had so much potential but all went to waste. The balance between romance and action was not proper and which lead to such a mediocre or below mediocre end to Darling in the franxx. I'm happy to see that the score went below 8 and should drop more that is what I think. Anyways the wave this anime created in the community was huge but left with an utter disappointment. Most probably people won't even remember about Darling in the franxx existed. |

| The only mecha in this show was the plantations and the training units. Biological beings cannot be mecha. Even if you can get inside them, and can control them, like a woman. |
 |
| Well there is one more thing I have to mention: the Mecha genre was already dying and this just made it worse. |

How do you think Darling in the FranXX has affected the mecha genre as a whole? For the better? Or for the worse? What are your thoughts on this? Are you suggesting it might be the Fourth Impact of the japanhat?se animation or something like that? @CodeBlazeFate I wanted to ring you but you're already part of this thread ! Seeing how Tomino and Anno shared the same frustrations and some desires (as highlighted in their conjoint interview from early 90s), it isn't hard to think that Brain thing was already looking a lot like its definitive form when EVA appeared. You forgot Argento Soma, Neo Ranga and then some. And that's only to stay within the limited range of "post-EVA mecha shows". UrbanSpaceman said: mashup of ideas from different popular anime (Eva, Guilty Crown, Lagann etc.) I thought Guilty Crown had little original material and was a mashup of ideas from EVA made into a shiny-looking series full with cooler than cool things. |

| Calling Franxx mecha is an insult to the genre. It's a robutt anime with more teen drama than action scenes. And it won't affect anything. |
| I didn't watched any other Mecha Anime before Darling in the FranXX, but surely it gave me huge effect watching this. It was inspired story about these two creatures, who loved each other no matter they are different. Shortly, I don't know does this Anime left huge impact in the Mecha genre, but I loved watching it because that huge journey in the end and klaxosaurs base. I still don't understand why Anime viewers look at his Anime negative, but I don't mind that separate details. how much effort these creators left, I was more concern about story and it don't left me any issues. |
