★☆☆☆☆ Darling in the FranXX [Review]

Five giant mecha-girls are piloted by ten orphan children grouped as boy-girl "partners" who are raised as the only weapon against bio-robotic blue-bleeding monsters, defending their dome-utopia city they mayn't visit that moves around the barren planet.

Warning: the two movies are summaries with the pacing destroyed, avoid them at all cost, they add very little to the TV anime and spoil the whole story. 10/10★ - The most shounen anime ever. Strengths: blows every expectation out of the water. Great character development. At one point, combines eyegasm with eargasm for what's to be known as the legendary audiovisualgasm. It'll give you a chill in the spine from pure euphoria and awe to its otherworldly levels of epic... in the first episode. And that's gonna happen in dozens of episo...
