Darling In The Franxx Ed 1 Full

Okay, let's talk Darling in the Franxx. Specifically, the first ending theme.

I know, I know. The show itself is... well, divisive. But hear me out!

The Underrated Gem: ED 1

Everyone remembers the opening, right? That banger of a track with the cool visuals. But what about the sweet, almost melancholic tune of the first ending?

It's "Kiss of Death" by Mika Nakashima. And I think... it's seriously good.

Maybe even better than the opening. (Don't @ me!)

Why I'm (Probably) Wrong But Still Love It

Okay, so the animation in the ED is...simple. It's basically Zero Two looking wistful. But that's part of the charm!

It's not trying to be flashy. It’s just… there.

And the song! The song just gets stuck in your head. I find myself humming it at the most random times.

Like, while I'm doing the dishes. Or waiting in line at the grocery store.

My neighbors probably think I'm crazy.

Maybe I am.

But the point is, the song perfectly captures a certain mood. A feeling of longing and quiet sadness.

It's the "end of the world but we're still gonna hold hands" vibe that Darling in the Franxx was going for.

At least, for a little while there.

Unpopular Opinion Time: It's Better Than Some Other Anime EDs!

I said what I said. Some anime ending themes are just…forgettable. They're nice enough, but they don't really stick with you.

This one? This one sticks. Like glue.

It's the kind of song you add to your "chill vibes" playlist.

The kind of song you listen to when you're feeling a little bit down and need something to soothe your soul.

Or maybe just something to hum while doing chores.

Okay, Maybe It's Not Objectively Better...

Look, I understand that music is subjective. What I like, you might hate. And that's totally fine!

But I genuinely think that "Kiss of Death" is a great song. It's beautifully written, beautifully sung, and perfectly captures the spirit of the early episodes of Darling in the Franxx.

And the visuals, while simple, are also effective. They're a nice contrast to the high-energy action of the show itself.

It also highlights how much we love Zero Two. I mean, who doesn't love Zero Two?

So, next time you're revisiting Darling in the Franxx, don't skip the ending. Give it a listen.

You might just find yourself surprised by how much you like it. Or maybe you'll just think I'm totally insane.

Either way, at least you gave it a shot!

And hey, maybe we can all agree that Hiro deserved better.

Okay, maybe that's a conversation for another time.

But seriously, listen to "Kiss of Death" again. You know you want to.
