The trailer’s text roughly translates to:

This place is a “birdcage.”
A place that’s closed-off, a place that’s regulated.
There’s just one reason to live-
It’s our battle.
For the sake of our ancestors; for the sake of someday flying away; for the sakd of our world
For the sake of someday flying away-
But she (Zero Two) was different.
Will you be my Darling?

DARLING in the FRANXX will air in January 2018 on the following networks:

Tokyo MX
BS11
ABC Asahi Broadcasting
