Ok now that I have had a couple of days to digest I think it's time for my official review of Darling in the Franxx.
Darling is an anime that started a little slow and felt quite strange at first, but quickly turned into one of my all time favorite shows. Some of those episodes towards the middle of the show are some of the best episodes of TV I have ever watched.
Unfortunately the show took a dip in quality from episodes 18-22 when too much was done in a short time. (I heard this might be due to 2 episodes being cut from the show) Never the less, Darling recovered and ended strong with an ending that was beautifully written and brought back memories of one of my other favorite shows, "Chuck."
While it has it's flaws, Darling in the Franxx is one of my favorite shows ever, and probably my second favorite love story ever. The story was fantastic and the characters are friends I likely won't soon forget.
Darling isn't perfect but it got pretty close there for a while. I highly recommend it.
9/10 definitely worth a watch or two.

At first I was really hesitating to watch this anime because almost everyone i knew told me that it had no plot and the only reason it actually had fans was because of Zero Two. I'm so happy i still decided to watch this anime...
The plot is written so well one of the best Sci-Fi Anime's iv'e ever watched. There was not even one single moment where i was bored of this anime and/or I wanted to watch something else. All i could wish for was this to never end while i was watching this.
However the ending was kinda plain... I know they tried hard to make it a happy ending but personally I feel like a anime like this should have a sad ending. Some people might say the ending was sad but honestly I really don't agree. Everyone was happy, who ever died, died happily. Whoever lived, lived happily so it was not really a sad ending.
Either way i absolutely loved this anime. I will be re watching 10/10 i would recommend this to anyone who likes a good Sci-Fi anime with a little romance (and nudity...) besides the plot and the waifus ;) the animation was very beautiful.
I'm not a big fan of dubs but the dub voice acting was great this time the voices sounded almost the same as the original Japanese ones.

I have read so many mixed reviews about this anime. I could list the things I hate about it and just judge it based on that but it had enough things I liked to keep me watching.
And I actually really enjoyed watching the anime, and it's one of the few that comes to a decent enough of conclusion. I actually like the ending. I think it was worth the watch. But my taste isn't everyone's.

While I have never written a review before, I felt incredibly compelled to do so after watching the most recent episode (15) as this has quickly rose to the top of my list of the dozens of animes I have watched.
Darling in the FranXX excels and drawing out an incredible variety of emotions; it has the thrill of an awesome shonen/action series, characters each with unique (often relatable) personalities and surprisingly interesting backstories, the occasional set of humour, a beautiful combination of music, art, and animation, but most importantly a magnificent ability to tell an incredible romantic story between the two primary protagonists.
You will feel excited and frustrated, exhilarated and saddened; you will laugh and you may cry, both tears of sadness and joy; and, the more you watch, the more you will find the need to watch. It does what I have never seen any other animes do - it brings together those that watch shonens/action shows with those that watch rom-coms/slice of life animes and it seems to do it effortlessly.
Although the value of each episode may fluctuate throughout the series, stay patient as each episode is still significant and the creators excel at bringing them all together. You may first find it overly eerie but this is done purposefully and it truly makes the moments that bring you joy also possibly bring you to tears.
You may have questionable feelings as you begin to watch this series but put those feelings to rest and watch this anime as I cannot even fathom how you would regret it. This is a must-watch if there ever was one. It's pure magic.
