Okay, I've watched 6 Episodes of this now, and I can safely say it's fucking garbage. I don't know why Cred Forums raves about it so much, or why we have so many threads on it (or more specifically about the waifus), because it's trash, that EXPLAINS NOTHING!
The whole show so far is following a generic, beta MC with literally nothing about him that's interesting or likeable. The plot is complete garbage, we've got entire episodes dedicated to his feelings, waffling about piloting the giant robots.
The show keeps telling us he's special, but never tells us why, or even why we're using kid to pilot the robots in the first place. It just keeps throwing in lazy action scenes and monster of the week garbage, without explaining the plot.
The world is completely fucked up, but we're told this bare bones explanation as to why and that's it.
There's a shadowy council of totally not evil dudes and we know fucking nothing about them, we've barely even seen them.
Aside from the MC and the female lead, fucking NONE of the characters have had anything resembling an arc or any development. They're all just completely one note while the story keeps focusing on MC-kun and his goddamn feelings again.
It keeps dropping all these retarded forshadowing hints because it wants to pretend to be soo deep, but nothing is ever done with any of them.
And don't tell me it's fine because it's 2 cour, you don't get 25% through your series and expect your viewers to stay just for the sake of it, because "It'll be explained later :^)". That's bullshit.
I feel like it's utena with robots. With all designs being a mixmash of Diebuster and Stardiver I'm not sure where Cred Forums is getting EVA from.
Chase Young
Did his will to live suddenly turn him alpha?
Nolan Brooks
>Aside from the MC and the female lead, fucking NONE of the characters have had anything resembling an arc or any development. They're all just completely one note while the story keeps focusing on MC-kun and his goddamn feelings again. Yeah, and the story is pretty much concluding the development of the MC and his feelings. He's accepted 02 and piloting the mech. He finally understands his feelings for 02. With a 24 episode anime it takes a fucking bit to get shit going. It needs to lay the groundwork. >And don't tell me it's fine because it's 2 cour, you don't get 25% through your series and expect your viewers to stay just for the sake of it, because "It'll be explained later :^)". That's bullshit. So writers should forget all about setting a scene and just have one happen? They should forget all about making a world and establishing characters and just have them exist, giving no chance for people to actually give a shit? You're a fucking impatient baby.

Cred Forums needs something to post about and Franxx is the most suitable for this purpose .
Henry Miller
I'm not at all. I'm making fun of the people putting out those exact complaints against FranXX when it's only been 6 episodes. I'm using Eva as a comparison where none of those answers were in place by 6 episodes and none of the characters had recieved significant development aside from Shinji and Rei.

He went from beta to alpha in just 6 episodes, most shows take the entire season to do that. I also don't like his character either but that relatively quick transition is enough for most of Cred Forums to love the character, see TTGL.

Gavin Rogers
>Seems like he's "become alpha" to progress the plot rather and develop his character. It's the complete opposite. Every time he "became alpha" he developped. In episode 4 he came out and told Zero Two that being with her is his reason for piloting. In episode 5 he stated again that he'd stay with her even if it was going to kill him. In episode 6 he finally finished his character arc and decided to not give up on life because she needed him; this is symbolized by Naomi, the partner he failed to pilot with because he couldn't connect, both starting and ending his character arc.
In episode 1 he thought of the Jian bird as a pathetic incomplete being. Now he's happy for having found his other half.

All of these seem to hit the same thematic notes. And the post you crosslinked is talking about Hiro being the least indoctrinated and humane of the bunch, not seeing the relation between that post and yours.
Daniel White
The post I linked to is mine as well. It's more of his characterization and why he isn't bland.

He is not alpha. He is irresponsible.
All he cares about is muh piloting in order to prove his worth even though people who cares about him are getting hurt in the process (Goro and Ichigo)

There was never a love triangle. There was only a couple and a bossy childhood friend third wheel.
Luis King
Yeah. I wanted anime to become less communist, but...not like this. If your route to confidence/freedom/rebelling against The Man involves playing right into The Man's hands and killing yourself for no reason other than to prove your love to a girl you've known FOR A WEEK, I would honestly consider the dutiful yet self-aware lackeys to be more sympathetic and intelligent. At least Ichigo and Goro haven't bought into the Stockholm 'destroy what little happiness you have for the good of the fatherland' crap.

Or maybe they can find a replacement pilot? Or maybe they can make it so that the entire operation isn't entirely depends on Strelitzia? Or maybe they can alternate the pilots everytime so Hiro isn't the only one taking all the burden? There are tons of alternative options but MC is so fixated of piloting he can't see other option.

Seriously, look at yourself. Do you not see the blatant double standard in your behavior? How come you gushing about how much you like garbage isn't shitposting?
You don't come here for actual discussion, you come here to try and get a circle jerk to soothe your fragile ego. Discussion involves both positive and negative points, you can't handle real conversation. Two things is too complicated for you.

Well, it puts you ahead of more than half this thread. So I'd say no.
Robert Harris
In all seriousness, OP is 100% right about Franxx, bait notwithstanding.
Ep6 was their chance to finally deliver. After 5 episodes of build-up and ep5 driving the hype train full speed, ep6 comes along and completely fails to deliver. It wasn't bad, but stayed completely within the box. We expected to finally learn more about Hiro/02, for something unexpected to happen, but it was the same old shit that happened in the last 5 episodes.
>b-but it's 2 cour! 6 episodes is plenty to answer some questions and leave your watchers eager for more
Adrian Wright
>Completely misunderstanding everything
I'm the OP. I made this thread. You're an idiot.
The whole point I was making is that all those complaints about FranXX are entirely retarded. I was using Evangelion as a comparison because by this stage of Eva we knew FUCKING NOTHING.
We'd had two episodes of fighting angels. Two episodes of Shinji's angst. And two setup episodes. That's it.
Josiah Roberts
>the waifus I stopped reading there.
Ian Rogers
>comparing 6 episodes of Eva to 6 episodes of Franxx >looking only at broad strokes and not the individual makeup of the episodes
atmosphere, tone, and characters of Eva are completely different from Franxx on a per-episode basis. You're a fucking idiot
Eli Parker
This might be THE anime that proves the existence of objective quality. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Darling in the Franxx is good as a matter of FACT rather than OPINION, and that all criticism leveled against it is reducible to simple misunderstanding. Go ahead and post why you dislike the series. I guarantee that failure to understand some aspect on your part is responsible for the distorted perception you have. Just as 2 + 2 = 4, Darling in the Franxx = good. And in the same way that anyone can be made to see why 2 + 2 = 4 through proper understanding of math, so too can anyone be made to see why Darling in the Franxx is good through proper understanding of the series. This is the first example I've encountered of an anime that seems to possess intrinsic quality, completely independent of any one person's subjective evaluation.
John Hall
To add to the EVA comparison. Asuka doesnt even show up until episode fucking 8.
But Cred Forums is full of autists whod' read 3 chapters of a book and complain that everything isnt explained.
David Hall
>atmosphere, tone, and characters of Eva are completely different from Franxx on a per-episode basis. You're a fucking idiot
So? That doesn't change anything. Want me to compare it to TTGL instead?
We knew nothing about the beastmen, nothing about the anti-spirals, nothing about what Gurren Lagann was or what Spiral Power was, nothing about why humans were living underground, nothing about who the Spiral King was, nothing about why the world was destroyed, etc. It had been 90% monster of the week shenanigans.
Episode 6 was literally a hot springs episode.

Justin Collins
both of you are completely fucking retarded. The main complaint is that ep6 was generic and didn't live up to the expectations of ep5. By ep6 of TTGL/EVA, you already had a ton of interesting things going on, because on an episode-by-episode basis each episode was great (filler episode notwithstanding). You're fucking retarded by only looking at overall plot elements. Jesus christ

Story composition is co-produced by Science;Adventure author which means there is no way in hell it will pick up speed before the second half. The first arc is Darling getting in the Franxx and it's isolated. You are not supposed to care about anything else at this point, next arc is another story.

Irony is that I bet you're one of those fucks who go "UGH Cred Forums is so shit now!". Threads should be made to discuss things not as your personal opinion toilet, no one gives a shit if you like something or not. Fuck off.

If you were watching Eva/TTGL with the same weeklong delay and impossible standards you're applying to FranXX you would be incensed.
You literally don't even get to see Shinji fight at the end of episode 1 of Eva, that'd make people mad. Then what you do see in Ep2 is halting and abrupt. Episode 4 is all about Shinji running away and Episode 5 does little but setup for Episode 6.
TTGL was literally monster of the week at that stage. Nevermind the abysmal Ep4, the meh Ep5 and then Ep6 being little more than a hotsprings episode with a cliffhanger.
Treating a 2cour anime like it's 1/2 cour is dumb.

Actually the thread is to say I DO like the show. You should try reading a little deeper.

I really have to give it to OP for literally crafting the PERFECT bait post and people still falling for it hook line and sinker despite the fact that it's waiving a white fucking flag in the original goddamn post

kek, I don't think anyone actually have read the whole post.

If you bothered to read you’d realize that it’s the Franxxfags who are the true butt hurt shitters. Who also can’t read.

There are also multiple posts everywhere in the thread pointing it out, and yet people are still falling for it. The absolute state of this board.

You should know from Trigger shows by now that the real plot doesn't kick in until near the end anyway.

TTGL steadily introduced a cast of interesting characters, and Simon/Kamina both had immense development by ep6, on top of having an excellent 1st episode. On an episode-by-episode basis, it had already broken the mold. Similarly, even by ep1 of Eva you had Gendo as this incredibly ominous figure, and each episode of Eva was incredibly grim, completely different atmosphere from Franxx. This is why your broad strokes comparison is pants-on-head retarded
I have no idea where you're going with the 2cour excuse, because both TTGL and Eva were 2 cours. The weekly argument is also dumb, because weekly watching is in Franxx's favor, not against it. Bad shows are much easier to stomach if you only have to watch it for 20mins/week as opposed to an endless marathon. There are a ton of shows I'd never marathon but have watched weekly.

>TTGL steadily introduced a cast of interesting characters
We'd meet Kittan and his crew, along with Rossiu. We'd left behind all the people in Yoko's village. None of those characters had any backstory or any development at this stage.
Exactly the same as the comparisons people make with FranXX. We've got all the main pilots, we've got Dr FranXX, we've got Hachi and now we've got (presumably) the 9's. That's interesting.
>Simon/Kamina both had immense development by ep6, on top of having an excellent 1st episode.
Hiro has had immense development through 02, Ichigo slightly less so and Goro slightly less so. FranXX likewise had a fantastic first episode. Almost none of Kamina's development was done pre-Ep6.
>Similarly, even by ep1 of Eva you had Gendo as this incredibly ominous figure
Barely, the first few episodes of Eva mostly portray Gendo as a heroic figure. If you watched it fresh you're meant to see him desperately rescuing Rei and then later talking happily to her as an indication that he's getting on nicely to her and that he's a lot kinder than he lets on. Almost nothing happens in Eva Ep1 except setting the scene. I love Eva but it's absolutely a slow boiler.
>I have no idea where you're going with the 2cour excuse, because both TTGL and Eva were 2 cours.
That's my point? That judging both of those shows by their first 6 episodes is just as retarded as judging FranXX by it's first 6 episodes. Complaining that nothing is explained in FranXX or that the side characters don't have arcs yet is incredibly stupid, as shown by a comparison to those other shows.

>By ep6 of TTGL/EVA, you already had a ton of interesting things going on Like what? Did you watch NGE more than a decade ago or something? If you aren't particularly interested in teen angst it has nothing going on until about episode 8. Shinji acts like a faggot, Rei is being a non-character and Gendo and shadowy dudes are mysterious. Whoa, I have never seen a show with mysterious dudes before, that must be it.
It's not a Trigger show which is even more obvious after such an uninspired treatment of episode 6 after stellar episode 5 by A-1. I hope there won't be a lot of Trigger episodes.

Connor Brown
>TTGL steadily introduced a cast of interesting characters Introduced just about cuts it. And none of the characters would get much development until the second cour; save for Leero which ended up forgotten. I think the only characters that weren't one note at that point were Simon, Kamina and Viral. Nia, Lord Genome and the Generals weren't introduced yet either.

There's so little substance to Hiro/02's relationship it's pretty much for beta faggots to self insert.
Jack Sanchez
>There's so little substance to Hiro/02's relationship It's been pretty subtle so far. They just need more interactions outside of her only feeding him or piloting.
