DARLING in the FRANXX

In a desolate future, humanity teeters on the brink, sheltered in mobile fortress cities from monstrous, alien threats. The only hope lies with "Parasites," children specially trained to pilot colossal mechs known as FranXX. These young pilots, with their emotions suppressed and futures predetermined, are the last line of defense against an encroaching oblivion. Among them is Hiro, a former prodigy whose inability to synchronize with a FranXX has left him feeling adrift. His path intertwines with Zero Two, a mysterious girl with horns and a fearsome reputation, whose wild nature and insatiable desire to pilot challenge everything Hiro knows. Together, they might just hold the key to humanity's survival and a defiant future beyond the sterile confines of their existence.
