THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Ooh, we're getting back at the action again this episode. Feels different with Zero Two not being there.

However, we did get to take a look at some of the other squad members can do besides just Squad 13. Personally, I think this episode featured some of the most intense action from this series in awhile. Meanwhile, Hiro is in a weird position after Ichigo's confession from before. Ichigo still has a lot on her mind too I'm guessing. At least the action picked up a lot this week.

Also more flashbacks of Hiro and Zero Two this week. The reunion between Hiro and Zero Two :o

The action was pretty cool this ep. Liked how we actually saw other squads perform, rather than just focusing on squad 13.

I kind liked this episode, but I was expecting more from the staff hype. Dunno, maybe a death from the main characters or something. We got some revelations and confirmations like 02 ''using'' Hiro or Klax's being highly related to humans though.
However, I'll be honest, some things that happened in this episode made the 14th kind of pointless or weaker. Well, whatever I think we are going to get to main plot on 16th.

Action was good as to be expected with Sejoon Kim. The CG enemies where only mildly distracting.

Not to emotionally invested in 002 and Hiros relationship but it was a nice moment. Alot of their conflict could have been fixed last episode if Hiro or 002 bothered to explain themselves but they decided to be stupid to make this episode more dramatic. Also this episode is really similar to episode 5 in alot of ways which goes to issue with this show repeating narrative beats, character arcs and thematic elements too much.


Also the 9s where somewhat interesting, hope they do more with them.

How can it be back to status quo when point of the entire "drama" as you call it was to put their personal character flaws at full display, to suffer the consequences from it and then show signs of improvement?

There is no return to status quo cause they never were without flaws. Zero Two always had her extreme lack of empathy since the start of the show. Hiro lacked the resolve to speak his mind and take the initiative in critical moments without falling back into old patterns. Ichigo always let her personal feelings cloud her judgement both as a person and as a leader. This episode showed improvement on these flaws for all of them so that they now can better themselves as people.

Be careful for the next ep! Maybe ichigo do something unexpected will happen like in the previews I have a bad feeling.

Saw the livestream. Damn if Hiro and 02 weren't fucking in Strilezia near the end. Also that reunion moment was fucking sweet.

I also hope those individuals that sent out threats learned their lesson.

this shit just went from average to great in a matter of an episode (hopefully, it'll stay that way). and all it took is a shit ton of drama and a sea full of tears of 002 shippers, simple as that

what's with the text on screen? is this monogatari?


oh, look. everyone is praising it now? smfh

Basically what I said after watching the PV. Ah that predictability. Haven't seen the episode yet. Since I have an FA Cup Semifinal at Wembley to follow, I will catch up on this episode much later.

Btw, I hope those retards now send out love letters to the animators/staff and whoever they had insulted. Of course MAL is not free from those toxic fanatics either. Bunch of plebs.

Lol I swear Zero Two fanboys are toxic. She even admits her own faults yet people defend everything she does. But anyways good episode and it's nice to see that the squad actually worked really good together without Zero Two but overwhelming numbers made it obvious they needed a monster like Zero Two in their group. Also I really hope Ichigo and Zero Two can finally get along those two are really the ones who keep causing all the problems in the group.

Of course everyone has something still on their mind. if everyone or anyone would've spoken their mind then there wouldn't be any drama left and the show needed just 12 episodes...

As expected people are praising the show just because of Zero Two and Hiro had a romantic scene, you people would accept anything when it comes to ship, hell this ep coulda been just Hiro and 02 kissing for 24mints and you'll all still say *ITS THE BEST EP, 02 X Hiro OMG SHUSHU ME SO HAPPY FOR THEM* *gag*

That being said I knew the massive staff list would not disappoint, this was a really heavy fight ep, the effects and choreography were great, and I knew those yellow like tubes inside the cores were humans! these adults really did a number on their world, now the final boss A.K.A those adults are gonna get it.

Quite the large scale battle. Man that super class is huge. Protocol 32 though was brutal. Hiro's dash to reach Zero though sure was brave and daring but man risky as hell. But it was nice he realised how important she was to him. The brief cat fight between Ichigo and Zero though was brief but showed Ichigo's willingness to help Zero. The reunion between Zero and Hiro sure was heartwarming and intense. A strong episode that showed just how much the squad has improved their teamwork and skills in combat. Its nice that Ichigo finally realises just deep a bond Hiro has with zero and let them reunite. Its nice that both remember each other now and are more honest with their feelings. Looks like this episode was a turning point in more ways than one. Its nice to see Zero and Hiro back together.

I feel like this series could have been something really great but it's just pulled down unnecessarily by all the forced drama and resolutions.

I don't really get what they're trying to do with this series. On a scale from Evangelion to Gurren Lagann, they're stuck somewhere in the middle and don't really know what they wanna do with the series, leading to the forced crappy drama and resolution.
Sure this episode was good because it resolved the annoying stuff that happened last week but it begs the question of why even do it in the first place. I mean with a large scale battle like this, fighting against this unknown foe, the scheming elites, the actual truth of the world/setting and even just the character writing and themes. There's so much that they could've done but somehow everything just eventually devolves into crappy drama and resolution. I'm not disappointed with the episode, I'm just sad that this series could've been so much more than what it currently is.

Well that aside, I'm glad Zero Two and Hiro got back together and I'm glad that they recognized their feelings for each other, as corny as that scene was it was still good. :P

Oh yeah, Goro is best bro.

Art and Animation were fantastic, some really stunning shots and really impressive animation they pulled off here.
Cliffhanger end. :o

I'd say I'm interested in the direction the series will take but I think we all know what's gonna happen.

Guys, even the Japanese Franxx viewers are calling Bitchigo, Bitchigo-chan >> http://yaraon-blog.com/archives/126479

I guess the anime community should stick with calling her Bitchigo, OK ? ; )
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.
