Darling in the Franxx exactly did what Aot did in just 24 episodes.
Yes, I've watched/read AoT anime and manga.
Both shows changes their themes and its perception about the story at one point
In darling in the Franxx

In AoT

Both shows involves memory manipulations, endangered species/race, giant robots/Titans & biology stuffs.
So, why do people hate this soo much??
The ending was not bad and it's thematically perfect just like AoT.

Why is this show getting this much hatred??
I think it's overhated.

Being a copy of Evangelion + Gurren Lagann is the problem for me... well watched it anyway, but let's put aside being a copy... The ending is rushed and, that also made this into an average anime.. Manga ending is good btw.

Cause the story is badly from the very start, the thing that broke AoT for me was the ending, now for this one, what can I say... it started broken, I never expected a good ending from an story like that

"𝐼 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒..."

Yeah right, they both tried to use the same theme, but for me DITF just did it totally wrong. Like, random flight and battle in space in one of the last episodes? Nah, it feels soo off
There can be some more similarities between these animes but the rest of the story, genere and overall are different so if you for example prefer shounen/action over mecha (like me and ig most of people), it's obvious that you'll probably prefer AOT over DITF

I don't know, because of how fanservicey it is maybe.

Personally DITF was quite enjoyable overall despite the fanservices.

In AoT

People likes to hate, and simply bc Darling used a lot of themes from other old animes. The only difference is that Darling actually makes sense compered to those (imo).

From the reason that people also likes to make their best out of a story, like for Evangelion, you watch it and you put the puzzles and metaphors together in your own likings. Aot basically the same. Now as for Darling, it's controversial story can not be altered. And people just don't like how it ended and how actual and indirect its storyline is. Despite of the fact that it has so many metaphors as well. Not to mention the perfectly written romance.

I believe that Darling suffers from this hate because everything happened so fast the story changed a lot in just 4 different episodes of AOT that it took to introduce this change in history,it seems a bit silly but with only 4 episodes it is noticeable that the story has changed drastically I believe that many fans didn't even care about the change that AOT did, maybe some didn't even care because as the series is long some fans wouldn't hate all the rest of the series because of the ending.

In AoT

The main difference is in their execution.

the plot twist in Darling in the FranXX about Virm and the old Klaxasaurs isn't too bad in concept, but the way it was executed is the reason many people hated it. There was literally NO BUILDUP whatsoever throughout the entire series that this was gonna be a thing. It was just lazily thrown into the series randomly with little to no explanation. When you rewatch the series, there's nothing that even comes close to being a buildup towards that climax. The creators just decided to change their show at the last minute into an Evangelion/Gurren Lagann ripoff because they couldn't be bothered to get creative anymore.

on the other hand, the plot twist in Attack on Titan works well not only because it had 50+ episodes of buildup, but because it actually connects with everything that has happened in the series up to this point. This plot twist doesn't just come out of nowhere either. In the very first episode of the series, it's established that the truth about the titans are hidden in Eren's basement. When you rewatch the series, it becomes more apparent that there are lots of hidden details that lead up to that climax.

I didn't hate the show in question. Other than that, why can some people whistle and others cannot? Some questions are seriously not worth the effort. Although, I think Code 001 is pretty awesome. Isn't it badass how she can just take over the Parasites' Franxx? That compromisable fault made me question the true loyalty of the doctor. Especially considering his soft spot for Zero Two.

I liked it. the ending episodes were so random tho, the first part was well written imo, it had depth, the backstories were the same you would find in any basic show but it was alright. I actually find zero two a really interesting character, opposing what most people think, but the mc and most of the scs were just so dry they almost didn’t have a personality.
Now you can’t compare two shows because of some of the plot being identical, this both sided story is way less present in ditf, while aot gave development to all his characters so that we had main characters in both side of the table and that we could really understand what marlians in the other side of the sea went thro and get interested in those characters, the fact that people started liking gabi even after she killed a character that was worked thro 3 seasons is incredible, you think someone gave a shit about klaxosaurus Queen?
And this is the only thing you can compare in both shows, there’s a lot more reasons for people to like aot, like you don’t have a bad character, best ditf character would be one of the worse if not the worst character in aot. We also have an incredibly complex story, without plot holes and that is presented to the reader/viewer in an almost perfect way (imo), etc

Apples can be tasty whether they're warm, cold, or dry. But, I occasionally choose orange juice over apple.

Because the Franxx is a copypaste trash with nothing of it's own. I'm aware that the most shows taking already 100 times used tropes or topics to discuss with a viewer, but Franxx doesn't even try to show something special and diverse from Eva, one of episodes shamelessly copypasted frame by frame one of the Eva episodes. Like, really, wtf?

The show offers you nothing to think or discuss about except you like to think only with your dick, lol.

Besides, even if im disappointed with AOT finale in manga (no spoilers), but AOT did all listed above topics 100 times better than Franxx.

Personally I think AoT is a much better story but it also has multiple seasons to flesh it out but the level of detail that went into the making is astronomical

Darling in the FranXX is centered around this group of people in a world that doesn't seem interesting, fighting generic looking monsters that look like weird giant Pokémon and riding a suit that just looks trash if I'm being honest
Apart from that DitF is a good romance story even if the romance is undercooked.

In AoT the world, the Titans, the ODM gears and fighting style and the Shifters all look very good compared to AoT and as there's more seasons there's also room for more character development

DitF is an average show but enjoyable whereas AoT is both Great and Enjoyable

Well at first I would say it is hard to compare these two. Personally I have seen Darling in the Franxx and I liked it. But AoT hits just different. The story has better background, the character are more developed. But yeah Franxx had just 24 eps so I am not blaming it for not having such a deep story.

I liked both, its just that Ditf fanbase has such a shitty reputation, ive personally have gotten a few death threats for saying i liked Ichigo more.

I think every fanbase has their rotten apples but MHA and Ditf fanbases are the reasons why people dislike the shows.

Atleast thats my two cents.

Atleast Darling in the franxx stayed true to it's theme and wrote a somewhat satisfying Romance drama overall.

instead of spouting "because I was born into the this world" , "If some try to take my freedom I won't hesitate to take theirs", "Freedom", " for the eldian empire" "freedom" "dedicate you hearts" for 4seasons which is completely irrelevant to to ending.

still doesn't change the fact that aot is a better series than animes like DOTF
so you alone pointing out it's flaws won't change anyone's mind.
so stop this childishness. If you don't like aot, simply stay away from the fandom and leave the anime completely.

Sure, both series posses somewhat similar themes, but both tackle said themes much differently. DitF's plot twist was super random and just downright lazy, while AoT's twists were completely built up and all of the ends met perfectly. But to be honest I actually really like DitF lol

"claiming aot is better than DOTF"
There's nothing to claim in this case.
It's pretty obvious that aot is better.

But troll guys with COTE profile and "COTE = peak fiction" in their profile description might have different opinion (which nobody takes seriously of course)🗿
