It had its ups and downs, but it definitely veered into a complete train wreck of retardation at the end. It was actually a frustrating series because I felt like the pieces were there.... but they didn't put in the effort. From what I've read they basically came up with the concepts and designs first and then just threw a story together around those designs. That's not how you write anything that's going to be good. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMouse Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Gridman's off to a great start, and so is the dub, no idea if it'll keep it up tho.

DBZ4ever Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Thought Darling had potential but I stopped watching it. I still want to finish it at some point but from what I have heard most others did not care for it and for me to stop watching it says a lot when I hear that as well. Makes me think maybe I made the right choice. So yeah Toonami passing on it is probably a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainStarwind Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I found DITF to be relatively inoffensive for the most part, but I can definitely agree that the story just did not click together properly. Like, first it starts out like an EVA clone, then it decides it wants to reconstruct EVA... and that's not even considering the massive lapses in judgement and common sense that have to be necessary for some of the character relationships to develop (I'm looking at you, Mitsuru).

Jman Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 I’m just sensibly chuckling one of the bigger shows this fall is a remake of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. And it’s inspiring the most fan art, because an artist had to let everyone know about his preference for thighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandstone Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Honestly, I didn't care for Darling in the Franxx that much. I don't like that many mecha shows to start with but I just felt like the show was pretentious for what it was doing. It's one of those animes that kind of checks all the right boxes visually and thematically but falls short of actual story and plot. I would say it's like the SAO of mecha, but that is just my personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 It promised a solid sci-fi story about rebellion uprisings and epic alien fights, and character deaths. Instead we get 90% shot full of moe faces, a confusing ending, and no main character deaths except for the two main couples who just "go to another level of existence." The writing was specifically tailored to focus on the teenage moe angst and romances, sacrificing anything that would've made it dignified and sensible.

But did they really ascend to a higher plane, especially since they got reincarnated in far future...? Also, what was the point of making 02 merge and form a new being with Strelizia if they were just going to kill her off in the last episode? Just to make some point that "love is love no matter the form?" I'm sorry, but that's not the kind of point for this show to be making. If I want a mecha with a good romance, I'll turn to Eureka Seven. I think the only big thing the ending did that I truly liked was kill off the leads. I would be genuinely pissed at the ending if they ended up living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 DitF shat the bed earlier by focusing on the doomed love triangle and teen drama crap, but then when they played their cards on what the main plot would be, that turned out to be even crappier. The best part about the show is the Zero Two flashback episode, the main couple’s big confession, and rubbing one out to hentai of Zero Two and Kokoro. Otherwise, it did a good job at disappointing everyone very early on unlike Trigger’s other efforts (save for Kiznaiver and Where Magic Becomes Commonplace) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 As much as I wanted Franxx to be great, I can say for sure I’m enjoying Gridman WAY more. For starters, Gridman has Samurai Calibur, who is a much better character than most of the Franxx kids. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Wow, you know a show is bad when CaptainStarwind and Al are that critical of it.

OwlChemist81 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Just watched the first 5 episodes on VRV, perhaps for the last day I would be able to do so.
