Darling in the Franxx has had quite a ride so far in 2018 and it's still not even over...

Of course, anime such as Franxx that have Waifu wars and fans who will not shut up about it is bound to have some deep hatred for people who don't watch it or simply don't like it that much.

Still...this will probably the most important anime in 2018.

In the cultural significance meter....Franxx is ranking very high, and that means something.

Still hoping we get the ANTI-NGE ending.

What the hell are you on about?

Have you seen that second opening? Of course it's the best anime of 2018.

And that's saying a lot considering that this year we get a new Steins Gate and two new FLCLs

No to both. Seriously stop overpraising the relevance of a show that is only a hot topic because it's still airing and uses cheap and recycled controversial tactics that will be forgotten and buried when it ends or its next iteration appears.

It's the cause of many garbo threads and I hate it for that(the fans are cancer too)

But I'm thankful for the memes.

Futoshi is a character study on the bullied fat character that holds the team together. People believe respect is what holds a team together, but Futoshi is the man that holds the team together. He is the puppy that is kicked to let out steam for the squad to keep the sanity of the squad. He is the dark hero that sacrifices his self-improvement to protect the harmony of the group. Fat characters are the unspoken heroes of anime, and we should respect them more than string bean protagonists.

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 realize I still have a looooong wait though.

Franxx is just an average show that intentionally used controversy to gain attention and popularity

It doesn't deserve the hate or praise

I would go and say that it is well-made degenerate fanservice, but I wouldn't say that it's a good anime.

Uh well, by important you mean what exactly? If it's waifu wars then sadly I don't think that holds much. Nor the other things mentioned.

However, I think it's the most important show since this show in terms of the works, it's actually the best out there so far this year when it comes to production. Most if not all scenes for the show have been so far spectacularly done in terms of production, which emphasizes the story a lot more, making the experience greater personally.

Not to mention this was made out of a lot of passion and love and the entire point of what I say is: This is how a show is done when it comes to the staff being passionate about a work a lot. That's probably the most important factor I believe when I take it from the show.

It may not be good for some people, but I can certainly see this as the main important factor of what people will do in an anime project, being expressive and having fun, that's all I can say about it.

Granted the popularity being high can be quite something but I think creative notion is what matters mostly for this tbh :S

You can't really discern the cultural importance of a thing until you're several years out from whatever it was and can actually look back at what happened and how it happened.

So would you mind backing up your claims?

Dafra is just a reunion of old gainax employees (A-1's Idolmaster team, Trigger's Gurren Lagan Team and Khara who is founded by Hidieki Anno who is the producer).

In this topic right now there are a lot of people saying how bad, good or average it is. And it actually kinda annoys me how some people are saying that people will forget about it when it's not even over yet. To me at least the ending decides wether it'll be forgotten or not. But I might just be saying all this because I like the anime a lot xD

It's good and yeah it's probably the most important , I mean , from an economic point of view , I guess it sells well in Japan and it's pretty popular in the Occident too, let's see where things go from now , we still have to see how it ends .

Well.. it is the most important since we have another one of that memorable great waifu war to remember.
But considering my taste, it's not the best of 2018 though.. XD

It's one of those shows were it will have a large community liking it and hating it. I think it will die down at least a month after it ends. Haven't watched the latest episodes yet so who am I to judge

I mean, if we take the literal meaning of what a "meme" is

an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.


Then surely it has a high cultural significance.

Nonsense. Do you have memory issues? Not in the year which already had Sora yori and Yuru Camp. Both were the most important TV anime of the year because they both rekindled hopes in adventure and feel good genres. Darli-fra couldn't even save mecha genre. Besides Hisone to Maso-tan already looks better than Darli-fra just few episodes in with its revolutionary piloting technique which Darli-fra had going for it, albeit as a laughing stock.

Will easily give both the waifu war and the sh!tty fanbase award to it though.

It's shitty (although the newest episode was actually half-way decent), and it's not any more signifanct than your average semi-popular anime.
May 8, 2018 3:18 PM
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.
