Is Darling in the FranXX worth watching?
Below I want to give my opinion about Anime Darling in the FranXX and talk about if it's really worth watching. Although I think most must have seen it, some are still reluctant and others are newcomers to the world of anime.
The Meka genre doesn't usually attract all anime fans, some just run from that genre, I'm not that close to the genre myself, although my favorite anime are mecha like Aldnoah.Zero, Gurren-Lagann and Code Geass.
Despite this, both works mentioned have several things in common that manage to hold viewers. The focus is not on mechas, the anime has a very interesting background plot that involves comedy, action, psychological, romance and drama. A plus point for Darling in the FranXX!
At first I felt bad and reluctant to watch the anime, mainly because of the fan-service-related memes and ecchi which is not so present, it only makes allusions to those with a polluted mind. After the tremendous success and a lot of talk I decided to give it a go and I loved every episode.
Darling in the Franxx also has script changes like Gurren-Lagann-style anime that take the viewer by surprise regarding the history and origin of the universe. There are scenes in this anime that you will really cry. The anime addresses several serious topics such as slavery, prejudice, rules and torture, pregnancy and others.
In conclusion, I was pretty bad with anime, but it was because it ended, I was too sad, I cried a lot, I couldn't sleep and every anime touched my heart a lot. The anime has a very sad story and footprint, each episode you are more surprised by the characters' history, their passions, the love triangles and much more.
It doesn't matter if you don't like giant robot anime or ecchi, this anime is totally different from the others, an anime that really has a story, that even leaving the edges of reality manages to impress anyone who watches. My rating for this anime is 98 out of 100 just because I don't want to be biased.
Darling in the FranXX Season Two?
A new story begins! The anime ends with this information which left many in doubt about a possible continuation. Some even confused it with a pre-announcement of a sequel. Many want to see Zero Two and Hiro again, but everyone understood that it wasn't them anymore in the end.
However, we don't want you to lose hope. The story closed nicely, bothered some with the ending, but ended well! All the problems were solved... Of course, being an original work, it can happen like in Code Geass that received several movies and even a resurrection.
Unfortunately I want it to be realistic, the chances of a new season are very low. If it happens, the anime will have to start from something different, the story and war is over, what will happen in the future?
There are two situations that make fans curious about a sequel. First, the supreme leader of the VORM did not die, and declared war in the near future. Others realized that Princess Urrosaurus didn't die, she simply disappeared.
So there is a possibility of a new season, it is up to the author to decide if he wants to change the work, which can be a little difficult. The anime and manga sell well, generated money and were successful, it has everything to have a continuation or second season, they will only have to touch the main characters who were born again.
The article is still halfway through, but we recommend also reading:
The Best Ending in the Manga of Darling in the FranXX
Hiro and Zero Two's story in the manga is quite different at the end of the anime. In the manga, Zero Two and Hiro do not die and go on to live a normal life with the rest of the parasites left on Earth. This is a unique look at the finale, but it doesn't really reveal much about the pair's future.
In fact this is the best ending for the work, without involving the beliefs of reincarnation that they put in the anime, this allows the friends to stay together instead of having to face the pain of death. If you're looking for a happier ending than what was shown in the anime, the manga is the way to go.
Mitsuru and Hiro promised to pilot together when they were younger, while this is never done in the anime, the manga lets it happen. Hiro forgot this promise during his memory wipe, but he made sure to keep it in the manga, for many fans to delight with this one. yaoi moment.
The end of the manga left some things out, it was quite rushed, but at least no one died in space, they stayed together on earth. Some secondary characters were left out, but their future can be seen in the anime.
Facts and Trivia about Darling in the FranXX
We had several easter eggs, curiosities and facts that went unnoticed by some viewers that we intend to list below:
Hiro has had his personality erased, he is horrible at art and at drawing which could be related to the rewriting of his personality. Did you know that in real life the voice actors of the English version of Hiro and Ichigo are married? The book that Hiro likes to read in the anime is called O Ramo de Ouro.
Hiro and Zero Two got married in the anime – 002 appears in the last episodes with a wedding dress in space and says that the two are on their honeymoon together. Despite not being a civil ceremony, the authors wanted to make it clear to fans that the two were married.
The names of the episodes are symbolic and I usually summed it up with one word. The names of the bears also make references to real-life things like moho an extinct type of bird.
The cores of the urrosaurs are very reminiscent of the core of the Angels of Evangelion, this is just one of the many similarities between the anime. That's because much of the Darling in the Franxx team also worked on Evangelion.

This anime is very similar to Darling in the FranXX in the romance and mecha genre, it has some problems like all anime, Darling itself is not free of problems, many did not like the change in the story and the reaction of some characters during the romance and problems.

This anime has a perfect soundtrack composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, its features are beautiful and impressive and the story involving the war between humans and martians (who are actually humans) manages to show different faces of humanity.
