They are wasting too many episodes on this Kokoro x Misturu trash, that I couldn’t care less about can we get to the main plot of the show already, feeling the last episodes will be rushed. Completely agree. I was actually rooting for the nines when they crashed the wedding. Except I'd rather have seen them put Kokoro & Mitsuru on their knees and put a bullet in each of their heads instead of just wiping their memories. The memory wipe is too lax, and these characters are too bleh. Just kill them off already so we can get back to good parts. Also the disgusting "Citrus-like" scene between Ikuno & Ichigo is enough to vomit. Like at this point, were you guys seriously expecting anything worth while from Nishigori? Were you expecting something worth watching from Cloverworks? I think too many people saw Trigger and expected a certain quality of writing and that is where this schism is coming from. Trigger had very little to do with this series and from the latest news, they realized how much shit Nishigori was and jumped ship. If we apply some common sense, maybe we can salvage the series in the remaining 6 episodes (yes Nishigori, i'll do your job for you): 19 - kokoro dies (with memories or without, who cares), cast goes berzerk with rage 20 - Rebellion, start 21 - Rebellion, finalizing 22 - Penultimate battle, APE and Papa 23 - Klax princess p1 24 - Klax princess p2 and epilogue How they do that in 120 minutes will be something to see, but at this point, just seeing where this trainwreck will go is half the fun. Initials sales (BDs) arent so bad since they crossed the manabi line, so maybe they are planning a season 2 and the question then becomes, is this Valrave v2.0? |

spideypeter000 said: Kaetokiha said: it’s literally in the synopsis it’s literally the reason the reason for franxxs which most the relationships seemly revolves around, it’s literally the reason for the setting etc.No the anime was never about the Klaxosaurs fight. The fight was always a background thing and the characters development was always the main focus. The thing that happened to Kokoro & Misturu is one of the things that will help the main characters see how the APE guys are scum and need to be dealt with if they want to live in peace. The "final boss" will be PAPA and the rest of the APE with Hringhorni the new ship/Franxx that the APE is building and the nines which are 100% obedient to APE. 001 maybe will even be an ally to the main characters. After all she is also enemies with the APE. Like i said you didn't understand anything about this anime. You are looking at everything VERY VERY superficially. Just because they are fighting Klaxosaurs doesn't mean this is or should be the main focus and it's also not the reason for the setting. Pilloting the Fraxx is just a mean to achieve the APE's goal. Just think about it...why the MAIN CHARACTERS are fighting the Klaxosaurs? Do they have any GOOD REASON to fight them? The MCs are fighting just because...the APE said so, that's it. At this point it was already show that APE is trying to do something that will benefit THEM (the fuckers who are sitting very high in the sky giving orders to the others), but does it benefit the MCs? How? The anime showed us from the beginning that the characters didn't know a single thing about the world and they were just tools waiting to be used and disposed. We have yet to know what APE is doing and what happened in the past. We will only know about this when the MCs stand up against the APE and take them down, BUT the MCS doesn't have a reason nor the will to do that. Papa is everything to them like GOD is to religious people so how can they go against his orders? They can't do that unless they experience enough things to change their minds to be more "human like" (instead of simple followers) which is exactly what the anime is showing us. Most likely Dr Franxx will be the one giving them all the information when the time comes. |

| Lel, what are all these asinine people whining about? What kind of plot they have devised to this anime that is not developing? Is the plot for them beating up some blue robot-dinosaurs or some shit? |
| In time, you will know the tragic extent of my fapping's... |
I want Squad 13 to go rogue already. Also |
| Well the happy wedding finally happened and guess what? The adults and the Nines had to ruin it for Squad 13. After that happened Kokoro and Mitsuru was brainwashed and know nothing, which basically reset their character development to zero (which also means I don't care for them anymore, unless they happen to get their memories back). And if they don't get their memories back, they'll just becomes background props with no personality (which I hope doesn't happen) |

Theories? Where do you saw theories in my post other than the very last phrase (Most likely Dr Franxx will be the one giving them all the information when the time comes.)? Sorry, but you're just failing to understand this anime and it's characters. You are only annoyed because you are dumb and don't understand that what's is happening is important to the plot and the characters development. Also Mitsuru and Kokoro are main characters as well and they got a good amount of screen time so far (much more than some others actually). This is not a sudden interest since Kokoro got that book many episodes back and Mitsuru had his problem with Hiro since the beginning and he finally got over with that and is focusing in something else. Seems like you just want to see them fight the Klaxosaurs which is (again) not the focus here. Take a look to watch some of this guys videos...maybe it will illuminate the darkness inside your head. |

I would actually say your itinerary for the rest of the season is actually decent, but we'd need like 45 minute episodes to really fill it out well. But the schedule/order you have listed is pretty nice. |

| APE talk: Looks like one of the two council members killed by Klaxx princess actually had a proper human body, while the other already underwent this mysterious transformation Papa was talking about. That whole "words sent directly to the brain" thing explains it: one of them had no physical brain to receive her message. |
| 02 getting dreams or rather a "premonition" of whats going to happen to her and it blends so well too, she killed her previous partners for her own gains, consequences are gonna be harsh when it hits her. That being said.. Ikuno with the confession.. GAY! Kokoro and Mitsuru getting mind fucked, seriously, when the hell are ya'll gonna revolt? and I see that Nana was always that hot even before eh. |
  |
| The story is getting more and more interesting plus my OTP got married. I prefer Hiro being in the background since I don't care for his character as much as I do for Mitsuru, Kokoro, Zero Two, Ikuno and Ichigo. Many people have called it but Ikuno is gay, I'm surprised they included that it's somewhat progressive and it would be great if they also introduce a gay male character too. BTW, why are some of the scenes letterboxed like in this shot: LOL at Futoshi in this scene.  FUCKING AOSIHDOAHSDOIAHSODIHASOD MY OTP'S WEDDING WAS RAIDED BY THE FUCKING NINES, ALPHA GET PEGGED IN THE ASS LKASDLAKSHDL. I still like Alpha though and the Nines, they be bad but they're still cool. I have a feeling my OTP is going to die :( at least save Kokoro's baby (if she has one). They altered my OTP's memories of each other! D: At least they aint virgins no more. My rating is fluctuating but I won't mess with it anymore, I went from 7 to 5 to 6 to 7, I'll save my final rating after the last episode it may go up or down depending on the pacing and overall story. |
| 臭い- |
| Kokoro and Mitsuru's memories being altered is expected. Now it would be interesting if Kokoro is already pregnant, and then her baby would be the one who will make them remember everything. |
| Awful episode. More drama being resolved in a minute or so (Ikuno) and more drama being introduced (02 delusion) only to be resolved in the same fashion. Oh, and the cliche of an armed group interrupting a happy moment. But why? Was there really a need to use freaking armed soldiers to take 2 children? And at that moment? They could have entered at another time to take them peacefully, but they decided to do it now for the sake of drama. Oh well. |
| Dem these wedding crashers. |
 |
| Is no one gonna talk about Hachi talking to Nana about what he could've done if he had emotions and a flashback of Nana's time as a parasite being shown? That was the most interesting part of the episode IMO. |
 |
| anticlimatic episode, what the fuck. the animation was kinda lackluster, looking forward to the next episode. |
| The perfect word to describe human society there is - "sterile" Sanitized and purged of all emotions, that's exactly how it is. From the point of view of their leaders, "Papa" or APE or whoever schemer it is - it was the correct measure to take. Had Mitsuru and Kokoro been left alone after their ceremony, others would surely have followed suit... having discovered natural human emotions, and what it is to love someone else. This would cause their tightly controlled sterile human "society" to unravel back to "how it used to be" and thus represented a great threat - thus the newlywed couple, politically, had become unintentional revolutionaries. Even more so if Kokoro became pregnant after last episode. It would be a key point if she did, though. The world needs a revolution. 6 episodes left. Wonder where all of this is going. |
_Lugh said: Shingster said: So the squad is finally leaving their home to join the others. A wedding for Kokoro and Mitsuru was a great idea and a sweet one to. Its nice seeing the squad work together to make their wedding memorable. Ikuno really dropped a bombshell with her confession though. The photo was a nice touch. The wedding though really was well done and was so sweet. Their new home seems more like a prison than a home. So Kokoro and Mitsuru's memories were altered to purge their feelings for each other how cruel. An excellent episode that was both sweet because of the wedding and shocking for Papa's heavy handed actions. Interested to see what will happen next since papa is proving to be as much a villain as the klax's. That’s exactly what it is: a prison. It’s design is that of a panopticon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon _Lugh said: Shingster said: So the squad is finally leaving their home to join the others.

| This episode was so tonally jarring. Like one moment 02's cheerfully looking at photos and the next she's having Vietnam flashbacks (flashforwards in this case tho). One cut there's happy music accompanying the wedding, the next there's soldiers rampaging and 02 getting her ass kicked by the Nines. I get those elements are juxtaposing to create tension but the starkness of those transitions made it more comical than exciting. I loved that bit about Nana's backstory, but other than that everything was pretty much expected. Are these screenwriters new to the game? Do they not realize that you can't have an entire episode be dramatic irony for the viewer? That kills the immersion 100%. The only thing that was surprising was the idea of the wedding, AND that random-ass premonition of 02's. Maybe I'm just nickpicking thouuuugh. Last ep was much better and if we're not having TRIGGER do any more of the episodes it's gonna get real dull real fast :/ Also the cryptic antagonist cult wanting to rid themselves of their bodies? GEE, haven't heard of that plotline anywhere. Dammit Eva you were too inspirational. 2.5/5? meh |

What I found even more interesting was that Nana was using the standarized FranXX not a custom one AND managed to survive to become a caretaker lol. |

It's not like everyone knows what a marriage is cause no ones marries anymore. They (the guys erasing their memories) probably didn't even noticed those rings. BongHits4Shinji said: AND that random-ass premonition of 02's. That wasn't random as it seems like Zero Two is just felling guilty. She took a lot of lives, but before her goal was to become a human so she didn't care about anyone else, but now is different. That's why she saw those others male parasites that she killed. This can't be a premonition (they are all dead) so this must be a vision or dream. You can see that she was looking that "book" page where the girl marries the prince (the happiness) and the page where the girl becomes a monster again with the witching saying she would lose herself again. |

Everyone knows that this is an 11/10 greatest of all time AOTY masterpiece. Something like pure shit writing could never exist in a story like this. You guys probably mixed up this episode with some other anime. |
|
| Lol... this anime has literally turned into slice of life. With the way this plot's going, only a matter of time before one of them die. Also let's not forget that Kokoro is having a kid. |
