Do you have a tag for your Darling in the Franxx meta? I just finished it recently, and I wanted to read some of what you thought of it. A lot of my friends disliked the second half and thought the ending was horrid, but I didn't really enjoy it until close to the end of the first half with the sweetest episode ever and Zero-2 started to come out of her shell. (And Idk why they disliked the ending, it was basically Wall-E)
Unfortunately, the only real tag I have is #goop-watches-darling-in-the-franxx, which includes my detailed episode breakdowns of the show… but I didn’t get any further than episode 5! Sadly, I also don’t intend to finish those episode breakdowns, though I might post my rough outline for the episode 6 write-up someday. I did put a lot of time into that one, even if the post never got completed.
That said, I can link to all my essays! I keep a list here:
Episode 1: Aloneand Lonesome, MoreEpisode 2: WhatIt Means to Connect, MoreEpisode 3: FightingPuppetEpisode 4: Flap,Flap, MoreEpisode 5: YourThorn, My Badge
