Premise: Hiro, an aspiring mecha pilot, struggles to form the necessary connection with his co-pilot. Then he meets an enigmatic woman named Zero-Two and partners with her to fight the monstrous Klaxosaurs.

The Good: There was one good episode in Darling in the FranXX. It was when Zorome explored the plantation. It was the only episode that showed stuff in an interesting way instead of info-dumping it.

The Bad: The rest of Darling in the FranXX was a jumbled mess. It started bland with a standard fight the waves of monsters conflict and lame characters. I even found fan favorite Zero-Two grating. Everything was needlessly sexualized, starting with the mechas piloted by guy/girl pairs in doggy-style positions. During fights, the men moan about how strong they are while the girls moan about the connection going deep inside of them. Its for symbolism, I know, but FranXX never pulled its plot threads together well enough to have a coherent message. By the end, whole episodes were dedicated to infodumps just trying to explain what was going on. And what was going on was mostly nonsense. Every anime in my bottom ten offended me in some way. In FranXX, what offended me most was the shoddy writing.

Overall: Darling in the FranXX was never fun to watch. It often prioritized melodrama over anything else. I also found the mecha fights boring. The Klaxosaurs were super lame, and the heroes never used interesting tactics or abilities to fight them. I struggled to continue watching this every week, and in the end it wasnt worth it.
