Average episode rating: 6.58333…
One of the rare occasions when I'll refuse to round my rating up, even though the number technically qualifies.
_Darling in the FranXX_ (I have no idea where Trakt's data sources got that weird all-caps thing) is actually a pretty good show, for roughly the twelve middle episodes. I found it "meh" at first, and the last 6-8 episodes were made of "WTF?" in my opinion—but when the show is focusing on the characters' relationships and not a universe-spanning "AI YO" deus ex machina, it's an enjoyable watch. Even though Zero Two annoys the absolute living **fuck** out of me and the way she's written doesn't make sense half the time.
