While all of the pilots have left very little impression so far, the main female protagonist/anomaly/troublemaker herself Zero Two has pretty much stolen the show. While I can agree with some of the show’s critics (in terms of flawed storyline at least), I can still see some light at the end of the tunnel for this. Because of this ‘borrowing’, it’s almost as if all of its attempts to carve its own identity have fallen flat with the audience and so picking it apart with a fine-tooth comb and finding all of its faults is easier than finding enjoyment in the show. From the very start, critics compared Darling in the Franxx to existing sci-fi/mecha shows and franchises, in particular Evangelion, with character designs, storylines, metaphors and hidden messages echoing old shows. …this sounds like the plot of an interesting and thought-provoking science-fiction show, right? Well with Darling in the Franxx 5 episodes in (as of time of writing), viewers have not all been impressed by its execution. When the human hybrid Zero Two arrives at his Plantation, his life is changed forever… In Plantation 13, our main male protagonist, Hiro, fails his initial test, meaning his preassigned female partner is forced to drop out too. These pilots are picked from birth and raised separately from the rest of the Plantations’ citizens. Their biggest line of defense are giant mechas known as Franxx, which are piloted by two people: one male and one female. In the post-apocalyptic future, humanity has sheltered itself in huge mobile cities, Plantations, to hide from their enemies, mysterious beings they call Klaxosaurs.
