    • Trivia
      The Franxx pilots' names are all designated after Japanese words for numbers:
      • Hiro is designated 16 ("hi"-"ro", 1-6)
      • Ichigo is designated 15 ("ichi"-"go", 1-5)
      • Goro is designated 56 ("go"-"ro", 5-6)
      • Miku is designated 39 ("mi"-"ku", 3-9)
      • Kokoro is designated 556 ("ko"-"ko"-"ro", 5-5-6)
      • Futoshi is designated 214 ("fu"-"to"-"shi", 2-10-4)
      • Mitsuru is designated 326 ("mi"-"tsu"-"ru", 3-2-6)
      • Naomi is designated 703 ("na"-"O"-"mi", 7-0-3)
      • Ikuno is designated 196 ("i"-"ku"-"no", 1-9-6 - it's actually a Japanese pun as "ku" is turned around to read "no", just as 9 is turned around to read 6).


      Zorome, who is designated 666, stands out as his name is Japanese for "repdigit", a number that is the same (11, 22, 33 etc).

    8/10
    Strong Atmosphere, visually unique and unusual take on a number of tropes
    Love or hate it, it's not another generic Anime.

    Pros: -Animation is vibrant, different and some of it takes a bit to adjust to. -The story has a number of fantastic twists on old tropes. -Character development is spectacular at times. -Unusual overall plot and core issue.

    Cons: -Mecha pilot "interaction" is unusual and could throw some people before it clicks with the story. -Ending is up for debate, as often is with Anime's -Some wandering on the story. -"Fan Service" might distract / detract from the anime for some
