Never liked the MitsuKoko ship, but the individual characters were interesting in the anime. They went into cheesy romance and tears for one another which kind of broke their deep relationship of understanding and reliance they shared and replaced with having sex, getting married and having a kid, and at that point the series kind of felt like it didn't care who those two were individually (in a figurative sense), and just explored them as a single entity.

By more than anything, I was happy to see Hiro discover his horns before his reconciliation with Zero Two, because his transformation at that point didn't mean anything. Transforming into a being physically superior to a normal human is always stunning in anime - look at Naruto, Kizumonogatari, Devilman Crybaby and Tokyo Ghoul, for example - but it is especially stunning when the transformed person faces off against his inner conflicts (all these series did that successfully) after the transformation. Hiro would have to rely on his new abilities as a klaxosaur (I hope, no I pray for that) once he is separated from Zero Two, which would make him something more than your nice and boring cliché protagonist that we have seen in many other anime due to the hardships of fighting alone.

And one more thing - I think Genista's light armor mode is cool, not cool compared to the Evas or Personas, but cool compared to the other FranXX: it's jet black, smooth, slim and has an artillery (it had one already, but a slim mecha wielding a canon is much more badass). And, it got rid of that stupid cylinder it had on its head.
