I hope that the voice cast is never the same twice.
The ending theme is credited to Popuko and Pipimi, with their voice actors listed along side them. They are not the same as the voice actors who performed the characters in the other segments. Either time.
pop team epic has better subtitles on hidive than crunchyroll for some reason so if you’re bootlegging and find the one that actually translated the cell phone fortunes in ep 2 that the “better” one?
i like how, whatever happens in that world, people will continue to lazily hang out on social media while lying down on their sofas.
the whole representation of christian themes and imagery is so interesting! from makimura miki’s (“hafu”) parents’ faith and tragic story, to like, images of the last supper hanging on the wall, people going to mass on bleak scenarios. the whole thing about people being consumed by strong carnal desires as a way for demonic possession and how the devilmen have to traverse such conditions is also interesting (although i understand certain people having concerns over it). and, uhm, this tweet.
the action scenes are consistently good, too!
*just so we're clear i use this word not in the "wacky japan lol" sense; it's my first time seeing a yuasa project and a devilman-related thing. i was caught by surprise by many things while watching this on netflix(tm), i guess.
Darling in the Franxx is the trash anime of the season. think of another show. go ahead. guess what? it’s not even close.
it’s Aniplex looking at Trigger and going “hey, a bunch of those guys used to be at Gainax, maybe we can make Eva”, but because it’s 2018, it’s anime
all of the weird mommy and daddy issues stuff and the psychosexual run around of teenagers retreating to the wombs of their mothers to deal with the ills of the world instead get replaced with kind of confused sexual awakening imagery about a bunch of virgins who don’t know what the fuck is going on and piloting a giant robot is sex
everyone pilots in male-female pairs and the girls jack-in to the robot and become the robot’s consciousness and their plugsuits have handles that come off their asses and the guys grab them and they have to be in sync and it’s so stupid
I love it
it doesn’t hurt that the (official) sub script is game and totally gets it
also Lum from UY is in the show except she has experience and totally wants to guide the milquetoast protag who can’t pilot with other girls
I’m going to watch every single last episode of this garbage and laugh and maybe I’ll get some good action out of it every so often
