>Our pension scheme is running out of money because zoomers aren't having kids. Wat do?
>Let's make an anime about giant robots that only work if you get married and have kids. Zoomers will watch the anime and then want to get married and have kids.
>Genius!
It's a classic boomerism where instead of acknowledging and trying to fix the problems they've created in society or even just not actively making the problems worse, they pretend the problem doesn't exist and try to shame everyone younger than them for not trying hard enough.

any interesting direction it could have taken was replaced by a boring standard trigger AYY LMAO space ending.

Xenoblade 3 did it (marginally) better.

Because they only wrote the script up through episode 15. Up through that time the show was going somewhere, then it's going nowhere fast, trigger leaves and they just whatever an ending.

It's fantastic up through episode 15.
The problem is the best parts of the show were Hiro and Zero Two. At episode 15, their plot is effectively done, and the show did not have any characters anywhere near as good as those two. Mitsuru and Kokoro were fucking boring by comparison, Goro was a bro but not the most interesting, Ichigo was a fucking cuckqueen, Fuoshi was a loser, Ikuno wasn't given enough to do and Zorome and Miku were... fine.
Those characters worked as side characters to the Zero Two and Hiro show, but once they tried making them more prominent, it fell apart.
Hell, even when Zero Two and Hiro were pushed back after episode 15, they remained the best parts of the show and DID ALL THE FUCKING WORK! Which makes it stupid they're the only ones without a fully happy ending.
It's why the best way to enjoy FRANXX is to watch up through episode 15, then read the last volume of the manga.
I miss watching this show with /a/ though. It got me through a tough time in life and I still love the good parts of it. The fact is flubbed the ending is going to be an eternal sore spot for me.

It's a show that starts off with an interesting premise, but instead of trying to say anything with it they swap out the conflict at the very end for an anti-climactic alien confrontation out of the blue. I'm sure that thing could've been executed well in the hands of another writer/director, but this show did not.

It says a lot about how shit this show was when nobody has given a serious response

This show was never good and the only legacy it left behind was a mountain of porn featuring the pink haired slut getting railed by literally everything under the sun and maybe beyond that. It's the Overwatch of mecha.

No focus, barely felt planned out, just ends up committing to a worse version of Diebuster.

Is there a word for the opposite of nostalgia? That's what remembering this show gives me.

The world building is bad.
The characters are bad.
The romance is bad.
The Mech design is bad.
The Mech action is bad.
Even the fanservice is bad.
The only positive things I can say about it are the OP, EDs, and Zero Two´s design.

One of three shows that killed /m/, resorting to the mass remakes of Showa classics nowadays due to refusal to accept any new non-Gundam mecha in the present day. The other two were Back Arrow and AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline, all of them shat bricks in marketing.

The first 3/4 of this show is genuinely really good and then the ending is so shit it retroactively ruins the whole thing

I have to assume it was one guy, but over a few years there was a few cars with low budget gaijin itasha of 01 in my neighborhood
at first I thought it was the High School DxD chick, but one of the later ones was the whole driver's side with her in the school uniform with that classy DNA bit from the logo removed any doubt
I never got the chance to heckle him that Bestnista was bester

Its a good looking Trigger show with a very meh plot that winds up being remembered only due to gooning.
