## Synopsis

In a bleak future where humanity huddles in mobile fortress-cities, children are raised for a single purpose: to pilot giant mecha called FranXX in boy-girl pairs and hold back the monstrous klaxosaurs outside. Hiro, a boy who has lost his spark and his place among the pilots, has a fateful encounter with Zero Two — a mysterious, horned girl with a reputation for burning through her partners. Their connection reignites him and sets the whole rigid system trembling. Beneath the giant-robot battles, it's a coming-of-age story about intimacy, identity, and what these kids were never told about the world they were born to defend.
