I think Darling is the probably the wrong anime for certain posters to shove their ideology into, and ADTRW is probably the wrong place to do it.

A1 is perhaps the least likely studio to be putting some sort of political statement in their show. It's unfortunate that the thread has been taken over by posters who keep hoping/insisting that it's nevertheless going to happen.

are you suggesting that making a show in 2018 structured around the primacy of the relationship between man and woman without exploring anything outside of that paradigm isn't a political statement

So far we know that the show is about a world ruined by the older generations, where the young are forced to base their entire self worth on their ability to contribute to that society in proscribed ways, to the point that losing your job or breaking up (which are one in the same thing) is tantamount to death.

So yeah I'm not sure where they could find room in that for any sort of political message.

Also can it really be said to "shove" anything into anything when no part of this conversation is going to have any effect on the show itself?

having opinions is illegal

anyway my take: i doubt this show is going to have a committed gay relationship and lol at the posters who thought the scene with ichigo and that one girl was gay but they'll probably at least play around with the idea just because 'oh no, two girls/two guys have to pilot a mech together' is an easy thing to base an episode around.

also focusing on a-1 as if it's some monolith is weird, why not focus on the actual staff of the actual show instead of some vague corporate entity. both the director and the writer have worked on stuff with at least gay undertones before even if it wasnt exectued in the wokest way ever so idk why you'd say it's some heretofore unfound land for the creators of the show. not that that means its going to happen but its a weird stance to take.

Is that part from interviews or summaries or something? Cause I'm not recalling anything in the show itself that says the world used to be greener/better and hasn't always been this sparse and desolate.

i think this thread would have much more compelling discussion if people actually focused on staff and individual shows as the basis for their opinions on the production of this show, instead of acting like a-1 is a giant printing press where mr. a-1 wakes up in the morning and pulls the lever and episode 5 of darling in the franxx pops out, only oh no, mean old mr. trigger spilled some TriggerSauce in the ink and now this show has boob jiggle! its like a childs view of how art is made.

I think the meaning there is that he used to have good results, but feels like he's changed now.

Of course it's just a fan translation so trying to read nuance into specific phrasing is just as likely to lead you on some blind alley to nonsense

You're probably right. Second half of his statement makes more sense that way.

On the map in APE’s super meeting dome in ep2(?) where they’re discussing meeting up with the other plantation you can see it shows the (presumably former) coastline pretty clearly. Think there’s a screenshot up thread

Pretty sure they are (since they're some sort of measurement of 'power' rather than actual serial numbers), we just haven't seen any dupes so far. Episode 4 mentions 'the nines' who I assume are an elite unit with at least one 009 or better in each FranXX and most likely there'll be parasites in other plantations we'll never see who share numbers with the cast.

I took it that the nines were the pilots numbered 01 to 09 i.e. the single digits and elite of the elite; with 02 obviously being one and them wanting her to back to them. Not a squad all sharing a number. Which would make identification hard if nothing else, since the pilots are apparently known by their numbers in most instances. If they just called 09 in battle, how would the kids know who they meant within the squad?
