| Love the action, graphics and plot. Fan service cheapens the whole thing. Does the show get better? |
 |
| I thought the show looked really interesting and i was excited, but the fanservice is one of the worst i've ever seen, it's just tacky. Sadly i can't speak for if the show gets better since i dropped it after seeing how they ride the mechs |
| For me it's rather the opposite,Darling is one of the shows,where fanservice and character interaction is making the plot. If you want action then you better drop it,cause watching for that aspect only doesn't seem worth it. |

-Mahesvara said: Its a Trigger show...you should have expected it What's a trigger show? Idk what that is |
|
| Yeah, it's made by a company called "Trigger," and Trigger/Gainax have never made anything that I would want to watch. |

| I'll say that's exactly what turned me off as well. I can only hope it all means something but it also has A-1 attached to this so I'm not entirely sure. -Mahesvara said: Its a Trigger show...you should have expected it As easy as it is to say it's Trigger and that's all there is too it.

Maelstrom said: "graphics" I've yet to see it but i doubt i will, looks like an average sunrise mecha Nah, Sunrise mecha is tons of bs they can't explain. This one is tons of bs they deliberately do. OT. On the contrary, it would be less entertaining without the fanservice. |
| Even without the fanservice it would still be shit :^) |
 |
| Just accept it and enjoy the show or don't watch it |

| If you don't like fanservice, don't watch it. It's that simple. If a show begins with fanservice, the fanservice is gonna continue. But also, the amount of fanservice in this show isn't even excessive. I wouldn't call it an ecchi show. If this amount of fanservice puts you off, avoid any ecchi show at all costs, I guess. :p |

FMmatron said: For me it's rather the opposite,Darling is one of the shows,where fanservice and character interaction is making the plot. Exactly. I won't deny that the idea of "fanservice" (read: sexual implications) is there, but it's far from cheap, imo. It's a metaphorical interaction between the characters without it being horribly, horribly in-your-face. It also brings a new angle to the coming-of-age tale that mecha tend to have. |

Without it, it's just an Evangelion clone. Others have started to notice the Evangelion similarities finally after the latest episode. I have since the beginning. |

Aesthete18 said: FuroppiBaz said: The show is just a big metaphor for sex, what were you expecting ? How exactly was I supposed to know that? By the way they pilot the mecha. I just meant that the show is tought to be a big sexual reference, and the action is just to fill some gaps, so if you don't like it I think you should drop it |
| Fan Service is the least of the problems. The real problem is what this anime is trying to be. 1- A-1 Teen Drama that just happens to have a mecha nearby. OR 2- There is some other plot about the world and the characters. With Kill la Kill, Gurren Laggan and even Evangellion you could grasp the main plot in a few episodes. We are reaching Ep10 and no significant world building happened. We might reach a conclusion that not even the animation team knew what they wanted to be when we finish Ep 24. Maybe they just wanted to draw some mechas to remember their old days at Gainax. |
| I dropped the show after ep 3. The show was bad from the start imo. |
  |
| Yh it is a show about sex and all. But it does get a bit to ridiculous with the riding and shit. |

All what it showed was potential interesting stuff but not the ACTUAL interesting stuff.... |

| The fanservice plays a pretty important role, at least in the first few episodes, it doesn't really cheapen anything. And it's not even really heavy, is it really bothersome to anyone? The series, imo, gets bit more interesting, but it shifts little more towards relationships and stuff instead of piloting the mechas. also the whole comparison to evangelion is hugely exaggerated |
 |
| Cool story bro. I didn't know I clicked on your blog by accident. How do I get out of here and back to the MAL forums? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Admit it, even without the degenerate fanservice, it is still a fucking dogshit anime with nothing new to present. |

Not every trigger show has fanservice. Like little witch academia and uchuu patrol luluco exist. The fan service in KLK and TTGL is not because it's Trigger, it's because it's directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi. You can see that style in other shows he directed like Panty & Stocking, Dead Leaves and RE: Cutie Honey. Imaishi knows how to do fanservice well. The fanservice in Franxx is garbage because it's not directed by Imaishi. |

| The lack of fighting and the poorly written drama is what is ruining it for me. |
    |
| The show is okay so far, but still inferior to evangelion (I can see a few similarities) |
| |
| Fan service cheapens nothing Your problem probably lies along the lines you can't take it seriously But this is by the artist of To Love Ru so like. What did you expect dude |
 |
| Eh, I wouldn't say that the fanservice played "a big role" in the early episodes. It doesn't in the latter ones either. It's an added element to spice things up, that only superficially adheres to the themes of the show (because it's all a huge metaphor for sex, the series has to portray unnatural shots of butts and breasts... yeah, no, it doesn't work like that). Just like... every fanservice shot in a show that is not about fanservice primarily. However it is not THAT big and it does not overshadow the rest of the elements so you can enjoy the series even if you dislike the occasional (and not that explicit) ecchi in it. |
| The recent episodic episodes and the lack of a clear plot structure is what is ruining this anime for me. I just wish they'd focus on the things that matter already, I don't want to see no more of these teens going through their puberty. |
| So drop it and move on with your life if you don't want fanservice. There's plenty of other anime out there. No one is forcing you to watch this one. How about going for a more standard mecha anime? Gundam is a thing. Can we stop it with all the blog post threads?! |

|
| It is actually enhancing the series for me, although only a smidge. I crack a smile everytime they put on their serious faces and get on that ridiculous position just for the mecha to be functional. That and those controls sticking out of the sides of the ass. |
 |
| It's actually mostly an A1 show tbh. |

Yeah, my bad. But my point still stands. The fanservice doesn't come from Trigger it comes from Imaishi. |

|
| Everyone has noticed the superficial similarities to Evangelion since episode one. Nothing to be proud of. |
