GROWING UP AND BEING A HUMAN: One of the best things is how we can experience characters growing up from kids wanting to impress adults, into people fighting for better life for everyone. They became responsible for all other humans and not only, because they protect them from giant monsters, but also cause it is up to them to rebiuld the human society. To do so, they need to discover at first what does it mean to be a human and what is the purpose of life. And there comes Zero-Two, a creature that is not human, but still behaves more like one than people we saw earlier. She does not understand what being a human is and because of that she cannot see she already is like them. Zero-Two lives in other way, but she is guided by her emotions and she wants to experience them all, which isn't really a klaxozaur thing as we can see by Klaxozaur Queen example.
DRAMA STUFF: Now let's say a few words about a drama stuff that can be seen in the show. Not gonna mention much about how adults were breeding kids locked without love in a more animal than human way, because it is kind of obvious. I want to focus on how kids couldn't do anything about how their life was always controled. Every time kids had done all they could to gain freedom, they discovered something bigger still controled them. Firstly they thought klaxozaurs are evil and that after deafeating them they will have opportunity to live their life as they want, but very soon kids found out that Papa is their real enemy and he used them. To escape from him they agreed to find APUS and by the same time without knowing a thing they almost helped aliens take over the Earth. They were framed to do wrong things, but have not given up. They confronted that mighty alien species, because they knew it was the last move in gaining their freedom, which they were fighting for all their lifes.
CHARACTERS DEVELOPMENT: Among all of this plot related things we can not skip character development, which was perfect. From the very start of the show we got to knew many characters and with plot going we have only got more of them. Even so none of this charakters were skipped. Everyone received some kind of development and became likeable person, especially all Squad 13 members who we got to see grown up into responsible and caring defenders. Even character like Doctor Franxx who more likely seemed to be evil than good got decent backstory thanks to which we could understand his doings. The series cointain many characters, but even so all of them have other personality which shows efford that had been put into writing them. Of course Hiro as a main character was developed the most, but I think that it is portraited so clearly that I don't need to point out for you.
ROLE OF LOVE IN LIFE: Time for the most important element of this wonderful series which is of course picture of love that is showed to us better than in any other show. At the beginning of the plot, main characters don't even know what love is, however during rough time it guides them, so that they get their own purpose to live and not next objective given by adults. Love gives children a world to protect that is more valuable than devastated Earth, which is people that takes special place in their heart. Even if your "world" seems to be a dangerous monster, thanks to love you can see her as she really is. This is how love is showed to us, as the strongest thing that exists, which is above every division and obstacle. Love is what makes our life worth to be lived.
STORY TELLING: What needs to be pointed out is very good story telling. During all the series we can experience events from main character's point of view. While the plot goes we get to know better this mysterious world and begin searching for answers for such questions as "why Earth is so devastated?" or "why Zero-Two has klaxozurs blood in her veins?" which is very engaging. Also plenty of plot twists makes views feel fresh about the show's story all the time.
GRAPHIC AND POTENTIAL SYMBOLISM: Leaving major plot elements behind us I find a few more things as worth to be mentioned. Starting with graphic, it is not the best for sure, though it is very good and it fits perfect with the atmosphere in the series. There are a lot of gray colour in the scenery and that comes great with sad, post apocalyptic world. I also really hope, that the reason why Zero-two is mostly red or pink, is to make her distinct from the rest of the world as a symbol of Hiro seeing her as most important part of it.
MUSIC: Beautiful soundtrack also deserves to be remembered. It's made with many decent musics that always perfectly fits to what we can see on screen, especially my personal favourite "Vanquish". Also openings and endings should receive special distinction, not only for amazing music that have stucked in my head for long time, but for meaningful videos as well.
My apologies for every grammar mistake that has been done.
