Just completed Darling in the Franxx.
Looks like I seriously have a thing for Gundam-like shows.
Thoughts:
I thought that they were over-sexualizing the characters initially and that there’s excessive use of sexual innuendo, but the reveal towards the end explains it.
Darling in the Franxx
Unfortunately, they didn’t really explain why and how reproductive abilities are used to pilot the Franxx or Klaxosaurs.
Unlike most Gundam shows, this one has a way greater focus on romance, which I enjoy.
One aspect of it that I don’t enjoy as much is the excessive narration - instead of telling us, just show us! The narration got bearable for me towards the end though.
The songs and music are immemorable, so no comments there.
If I am being nitpicky, I would give it a score of 9 / 10.
I am biased towards Gundam series though, so I am going to be generous and give it a 10 / 10.
