i see a lot of people that really like zero two from this anime and was just generally wondering how she is so popular. is it the pink hair/appearance? personality? i gave darling in the franxx a try and personally to me she seemed like a grasp at an independent strong woman trope however i found many things about her more skewed toward the manic pixie dream girl trope or somewhat of the male gaze which was interesting. and if anyone was wondering, i have peeped at some spoilers in later scenes so im not entirely clueless to her character.

i want peoples thoughts on this as the manic pixie dream girl trope is a personal interest of mine and i like hearing about the other side of these things. that topic i find riveting in media so im hoping for some fun interesting replies!

most ppl who like 02 are just in it for the fact that she is the dangerous dream girl™ with no flaws, cute looks, no complicated emotions and hopelessly in love with self-insert mc lol :>

plus I don't see her as some trope to be an independent manic pixie girl. She's half dinosaur she's an animal so sometimes she reacts and behaves like one would. I thought her behavior made sense.

Let's reverse the question ...

what are the things that you don't find attractive about Zero Two?

She's seductive and hot,that's my personal reason at least. And she's descently written as well as almost carried the show. I'm not a HUGE fan of Zero Two or something but I definitely understand the appeal why she's so popular. And she was cute at times too lol.

First of all she is a waifu bait, her features are made to make watchers fall for her. Secondly her personality how she wanted to make the mc one of her kind so that she can stay with him, but she just needed a little help from somebody to change her. From hard to soft her personality was loved by several.

If i ignore the Mecha part it's definitely a one of the greatest romance anime i ever watched. it's really good bro and it's deserve more than it's current rating.

Not shitting on your opinion but what do you like about 001? I don’t remember her being a whole lot in the show to get much character development, it has been a while since I watched DITFXX so my memory is foggy about some stuff. (Don’t mind me if your joking I haven’t slept yet and it’s 5am so my brain doesn’t comprehend some stuff)

She is a waifu bait and decent doujinshin material. Nothing else. She is probably the most overrated, trashy waifu ever.

I boil it down to three things: Cute, hot and loyal. With the way she seduces Hiro and how adorable and sexy she is at the same time, she's the pure definition of every guy's dream girl (hence why she's my anime waifu).

So you are a woman right?

If so, that explains why you don’t get it
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

the personality to be honest. she is someone who been hurt so much but when someone helped her she devoted her life to him. she was in love but didn't know what love was and how to express it. she is a funny loveable character.

I believe her appearance and how she acts. She's a somewhat femenine woman that's not afraid of saying or acting seductively and understands the way men are able to think. The girls in this anime, and most of anime, get embarrassed when anything perverted is seen in screen, and mostly characters that don't are perceived/shown as somehow $lutty or perverted themselves, but 02 is never perceived by the others or the animators as such. I believe that's the appeal of her.

So you are a woman right?

If so, that explains why you don’t get it


lol my gender has nothing to do with my question. anyone can be attracted to a character whether platonically or romantically. i asked my question respectfully and not only have you taken personal offense to it but have decided to internet warrior for a person that doesn't exist. i wasn't going to be harsh but seeing how you're telling others they "dont get" her uniqueness when opinions are subjective & expecting people to agree with you is just an unfortunate mindset for you to have.

She's well written, she feels like a real character unlike a lot of anime characters who just end up fitting so well in a trope that u can just substitute them with any other character who has the same trope and it works, for 002 is different because she has actual reasonings and motifs and her backstory is developed enough during the show

lol NOT the backtracking when someone calls you out. if you're going to be rude, expect it back. sexist jokes are fine with people i know, not coming from a stranger like you though. maybe learn some social mannerisms. i took a look at your forum posts and it seems like you cannot handle when someone calls you out for something you put out in the first place. have a good day!
