Darling in the FranXX
|
Children in a futuristic world try to learn more about the themselves, the world they live in and the past. Lots of mindfucks. Shinsekai yori is intelligent and does everything the best way it could have done, while Darling in the FranXX is dumb and do it the worst way. Yet, their settings are kind of similar.
Incredibly horny teenagers in an incredibly messed up alternative future world.
I was reminded of Shinsekai the entire time I watched Franxx, but not in a bad or comparative way. Rather, the more mature themes of human connection and psychological games were fairly strong throughout. Franxx seemed to convey many similar feelings and messages, in a similar sort of world. Chances are, if you like Shinsekai then Franxx will be enjoyable in a unique but familiar way - though you've really got to go deep into Franxx before it reveals what kind of story it is, its definitely not a 3-episoder - give it, like, 12-14.
Darling in the FranXX really reminds me of Shinsekai yori. Both anime are set in a post apocalyptic setting, and feature school children in positions of dangers. Both anime also instil a very similar, creepy and mysterious vibe through themselves.
How did you figure out what is love?
Both tell a similar story of messed up children trying to grow up. Both are alternate future sci-fi. Both are A1 at their finest.

Both shows features boys and girls, who grow up in highly dystopian society, cut out from the rest of the world and trained just so that they can complete their purpose in this society.
Can't say what exactly is similar about the two of them, I just had to think about DitF every time I watched an episode of Shinsekai yori. I suppose it's due to atmosphere, characters, concept and also drawing style. 'They gave me similar vibes' is how I would describe it.

The lustful relationship between "Darling in the FranXX" and Shinsekai Yori" can be compared to "Lion King" and "Kimba the White Lion" case.. and "DitF" is actually "Lion King", but flavored bitter "Neon Genesis Evangelion" sauce and "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" sprinkles.

If you liked the world of DARLING in the FRANXX and want to see something similar, it's definitely Shinsekai Yori
Shinsekai Yori is darker than DARLING, so if you liked FRANXX's mysterious vibes you'll love Shinsekai Yori.
Whereas, if you want a little light-hearted fun and comedy amidst a mysterious setting after Shinsekai Yori, give FRANXX a try!
