Earlier today, the official DARLING in the FRANXX anime’s Twitter account updated with a new TV spot. The 30-second trailer introduces a humanoid robot known as “FRANXX.”

According to the teaser, FRANXX is a “steel maiden,” a humanoid robot shaped like a woman, who can also be piloted. Yep, it’s a Trigger show, alright.
Anyway, the teaser features a few phrases presented in colored text, which appear to be snippets of dialogue. The dialogue reads as follows:
Code:016: “But we were born solely to pilot the FRANXX.”
Code:002: “Will you escape? With me.”
A visual was also released, which shows the character in more detail. You can check this out below:
DARLING in the FRANXX is a co-production between Trigger and A-1 Pictures.
