You can stream DARLING in the FRANXX (2018) on Crunchyroll with a subscription.

The distant future: Humanity established the mobile fort city, Plantation, upon the ruined wasteland. Within the city were pilot quarters, Mistilteinn, otherwise known as the “Birdcage.” That is where the children live... Their only mission in life was the fight. Their enemies are the mysterious giant organisms known as Kyoryu. The children operate robots known as FRANXX in order to face these still unseen enemies. Among them was a boy who was once called a child prodigy: Code number 016, Hiro. One day, a mysterious girl called Zero Two appears in front of Hiro. “I’ve found you, my Darling.”

Life inside the fortified Birdcage is defined solely by the mechanical violence of piloting giant mechs against monstrous invaders. This neon-soaked wasteland forces a group of isolated children to navigate the messy, sudden awakening of human emotion.
