I mean, because that's how they abbreviate titles in Japanese. It's a less useful convention to use in english.

Then just call it FranXXX, or Darling in the SpanXX
Just because it's official doesn't mean it isn't bad
(That said "da-li fura" sounds like it could become darliflower (da-li furawa) which would be okay)

e:Wasn't the super battles become common thing a KyoAni project? Or ami i mixing it up with something else?

it was not a kyoani project and it had nothing to do with kyoani and kyoani made no shows that were like it, the artstyle just vaguely resembled kyoani.

No, that's Trigger. The most similar thing to that I can think of is Myriad Colors Phantom World

Hiro has spent two episodes whining about how much he wants to pilot. He will never get to be the pilot. This show will be about him accepting that he is just a butt handle.

I cant wait for Hiros monologue about already knowing that he wasnt piloting the Strelitzia but he just didnt want to accept it. Begrudgingly assuming the position till 02 grabs him by the handles, then he reaizes that this was everything he always wanted from the start, he was just lying to himself.

We don't exist in real life, but we're working hard in your delusions!
I just dropped into this series fairly cold, and boy do i have a lot of unpack.

I also looked into the manga, Yakubi Kentaro can draw nice bodies but can’t make a visually distinct female character. 02 looked almost exactly like a ToLove-Ru character.

Protag looks like the most generic character A-1 is capable of making, but he’s growing on me.

Finally, the femdom anime we deserve.

Given that the mechs are also women, it seems like a no-brainer to pair up the mechs in bigger mechs at some point

This feels like a worse Aquarion.

I snorted when they revealed 703's name is Naomi and laughed out loud when she said she likes the name he thought up just for her.

Which Aquarion because there's no universe where it's worse than the first or last one. So far anyway.

I don't know that I'd call it better or worse than Genesis of Aquarion yet, but the first Aquarion is easily my favorite of the two Aquarions I have seen.The second has a really strong start, but within a handful of episodes the assertive female love interest is just becoming a useless mopey bundle of misery and the other two main characters are too boring and stupid to carry the show. The only reason to keep watching past those episodes is the secondary couple with frog girl and infiltrator guy, and that's killed at the half way point. The second half is boring tripe almost all the way through, and doesn't even have good action with the theme song cresting to the action and that's almost the defining moment of an Aquarion show. There's a couple of fun moments, but it isn't remotely worth the journey. Genesis doesn't have as high a high and isn't a great show, but it's nowhere near the same low either. Plus, Fudo Gen or whatever his name is is actually likable rather than a dick whose selfish actions basically caused all of the first two shows.

I can still remember the EVOL/LOVE bit and all I can remember about the first series is being intensely bored plus lovely mid 2000's cgi so I like Evol better.

I liked the main character of Genesis as just this wild and kind of stupid but ultimately well meaning dude. The show reinforced his wild upbringing regularly by having him walk around on all fours, sniffing stuff to find it or familiarize himself with it etc. He was unusual, but kind of fun. I remember silly lessons like "put your shoes on your hands to feel the Earth". I remember "combining addiction" i.e. sex/orgasm addiction, and silly combinations and attacks like the infinite punch. I remember comedy episodes like the main cast having to fight an angel that attacks in dreams and Sylvie "launching" by smacking her head off a table really hard so she could fall unconscious. Including the usual pilot launch shout just before she did so. I remember a really barebones but actually well animated episode directed by a guy who specializes in that kind of minimal art. A lot of the good elements of Evol like the music, the combinations etc. are just copies of stuff in Genesis. Sometimes they're even just flat out worse, like it's vision of Gen. It has a few bright spots, and I recall some of it too certainly, but often precisely because I didn't think it good.

Honestly, I don't even remember what the end game for her as a character was. I just meant her ED video after an episode was over. Kill la Kill kind of lost me after a while and I have strong memories of the start, but not so much the end.

KLK started off good and then plot happened and while it was a crazy hype ride, it wasn’t as good as the first half.

Probably a helpful thread for future show discussion - long story short, Trigger isn’t heavily involved in this show outside of design and animation, and all the writing is from A1’s end. So at the very least, predicting how this will go based on Trigger’s past output is unlikely to be too useful.
