DARLING in the FRANXX

What is DARLING in the FRANXX?

In a post-apocalyptic future, humanity survives within the fortress city Plantation, where children trained as pilots operate giant mecha called FRANXX to defend against alien creatures. When the enigmatic Zero Two seeks out Code 016—Hiro—a connection forms that will challenge everything they know about their mission and purpose.

The distant future: Humanity established the mobile fort city, Plantation, upon the ruined wasteland. Within the city were pilot quarters, Mistilteinn, otherwise known as the “Birdcage.” That is where the children live... Their only mission in life was the fight. Their enemies are the mysterious giant organisms known as Kyoryu. The children operate robots known as FRANXX in order to face these still unseen enemies. Among them was a boy who was once called a child prodigy: Code number 016, Hiro. One day, a mysterious girl called Zero Two appears in front of Hiro. “I’ve found you, my Darling.” (Source: Crunchyroll)
