IMPORTANT: We are fixing the release of recent episodes. This may take some time unfortunately. At the same time we have hired a dev for new features like: View episodes inside Animension and not third-party sources, OP and ED skipping, Auto-Next episode, MAL syncronization and a dedicated mobile app. As the website continues to run ad-free all of these costs come out of our pocket. If you have any disposable income that you are able to donate, you can do so to the BTC address below. The funds will be used to add features and improve our response time when things break. This message will be removed when the recent releases get fixed.
The story is set in the distant future. The land is ruined, and humanity establishes the mobile fort city Plantation. Pilots produced inside Plantation live in Mistilteinn, also know as the "birdcage." Children live there knowing nothing of the outside world or the freedom of the sky. Their lives consist of battling to carry out missions. Their enemies are mysterious giant lifeforms known as Kyōryū, and the children pilot robots called Franxx to face off against them. For the children, riding the Franxx proves their existence.
A boy named Hiro is called Code:016, and he was once known as a prodigy. However, he has fallen behind, and his existence seems unnecessary. Not piloting a Franxx is the same as ceasing to exist. One day, a mysterious girl known as "Zero Two" appears before him. Two horns grow out of her head.
