Darling in the Franxx

In a post-apocalyptic future, humanity’s last bastions are mobile fortress cities, constantly under siege from colossal, mysterious organisms known as Klaxosaurs. The only hope for survival rests on the shoulders of child pilots, raised and trained solely to operate massive mechs called Franxx in two-person teams. Yet, for all their prodigious skill, a unique bond is required to synchronize with these powerful machines, a connection that often proves elusive. Among these promising young recruits is Hiro, once a prodigy, now considered a failure after losing his ability to pilot. His life takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Zero Two, a mysterious and infamous Franxx pilot whose horns and Klaxosaur blood make her an outcast, but whose unparalleled skill offers Hiro a chance to reclaim his destiny. Their partnership could be humanity's last hope, or its final undoing.
