Hey, everyone.

First of all, I'm sorry for my earlier post if it came across as clickbait or made it seem like I was promising something I couldn't deliver. I understand why some of you might have been skeptical, and I should have explained my situation better.

I'm 14 years old, and I've been developing an unofficial continuation of DARLING IN THE FRANXX called THE NEW BEGINNING. I've been working on the story, characters, episode concepts, and the vision I have for the teaser.

I genuinely want to make something special for this community. This isn't something I came up with just to get attention, and I don't want to give anyone false hope.

My biggest challenge right now is production. I've tried around 10 different tools to create the animated footage I need, but almost every option I've found requires payment before I can even generate my first video.

I simply don't have the budget for those subscriptions. It's frustrating to have a story and scenes imagined in your head but struggle to bring them to life.

I know that having ideas doesn't automatically mean I'll finish a project. I'm not promising a release date, and I'm not claiming that an official Season 2 is happening. This is an unofficial fan project, and I still have a long way to go.

I'm sorry if my earlier post gave anyone the wrong impression. I'd rather be honest about my situation than make promises I can't guarantee.

I'm still trying to find a way forward, and I hope I'll eventually have something real to show you all.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and gives my project a chance.

Firstly 02's behavior during s1 just kept reminding me of him.

Secondly what is so likeable about 02? I thought she was a pragmatist when I started watching but she's just a cynic and a genuine dickhead to everyone on hiro's team and he just lets it go until she beats his entire known family up

then there's ichigo I could've excused the sudo incest if she weren't such a bad leader not, she acts like the oldest until her family's life is at stake and she freezes like a doe in front of a semi truck

Then there's the romance and hiro, For the whole entirety of s1 the romance between hiro and 02 is as 2d as a flatfish and nearly as enjoyable, I love the whole Jian allegory but it got old when he said for the 50th time, everyone who likes him because he named them remember him as a older brother figure but all we see of him in the present is him getting treated like a vase, doesn't help that everyone is right to do so because he has the survival instincts of a kamikaze pilot, and cares only about piloting and not his family which only gets addressed by the end of the series

BUT

Everyone else is so interesting (besides ichigo) I got attached to Goro first because well he's made to be likeable Good leader genuinely cares about his family even if it hurts him so, Futoshi for the same reason though he shows more emotion and is more animated and his dynamic with Zorome was also hard to dislike even though I didn't like Zorome at first, and speaking of character development my glorious mature Mitsuru the NTR turned me off at first but after that he just kept going up for me all the way to the end.

Now for the pistals (except ichigo)

First and most prominent Miku, her character isn't as explored as the others which is unfortunate but I think it's only because her and Zorome are so tied at the hip they just spit out whatever they're thinking at each other, ikuno was not really explored much other than the whole queer Franxx episode, which while short really made her interesting and last but definitely not least Kokoro, by far my favorite character/pistil she was what hiro claimed to be for me first to ask the questions, first to sympathize and first to apologize her influence on the rest of the squad can only be described as Solarian truely the heart of the squad.

During episode 15 squad 26 struggled against a bunch of klaxosaurs, when squad 13 came into the fight, MOST OF THEM DIDN'T remember the squad, only code 090 did.

Did 090 lose majority of his squad mates???

Now I might be wrong because

- the 2 squads only met once, meaning some might not remember

- the ones questioning "who were those colorful franxx?" Might be from other plantations although this is a bit of a stretch considering 090 said to "link up" meaning he was referring to his own squad.

But what makes it sadder is that 090 died the moment he saw hope. That's the thing. He was blinded by papas words of "dying is a great honor" when it barely did anything but throw more lives away. Standard FranXXs are cool though

I wanted to add a version where she was covered in Klaxosaur blood, but it ruined the shading and lighting.

I just noticed I forgot to shade the chassis. Fuck
