📖 SYNOPSIS

In a future ravaged by waste, humanity resides in mobile fort cities called Plantations. Within these cities, children live in pilot quarters known as Mistilteinn, or the "Birdcage." Their sole purpose is to fight the Kyoryu, giant, unknown organisms. These children pilot FRANXX robots to combat the Kyoryu threat. Among them is Hiro, code number 016, once considered a child prodigy. His life changes when Zero Two appears, a mysterious girl who declares, "I've found you, my Darling." This encounter sets the stage for their involvement in the ongoing war against the Kyoryu. The series explores themes of duty, purpose, and the bonds between the young pilots.
