Mixed Feelings
Darling in the FranXX is definitely an anime that was very weird at first, but I gradually got lost and immersed into the dystopia that was created. It seemed like a bad ecchi at first (lots and lots of exposure), but then it slowly assimilated into necessary scenes of contact and intimacy, an area the parasites were never allowed to explore.

The story design is abstract and subtle, but the unconscious effect was greater than expected. Sometimes, the anime would place black bars to offer a more cinematic and serious narration, coupled with a motif of wingless birds to introduce romance. Subtle storytelling makes for great storytelling. although the story itself is lackluster, and the pace completely changes towards the end.

Opening 2 is by far the better opening out of this season. So many things happening at once, and it pretty much spoils the entire story, especially with Zero Two turning into the sakura petals Hiro had once related her to.

A percentage of the fanbase were unhappy with the ending, but personally, I was fine with it. It was beautiful, and even more so since it was going to happen all over again.

The reason why the rating is so low is that Miku and Zorome never smashed. Absolutely disgusting. 0/10
