[HorribleSubs] Darling in the FranXX - SP1 [720p].mkv

Is this a recap?

yes.

Is this a recap worth watching? I know some recap episodes will throw in some minor plot advancement...

No, it is not a recap. Live interviews wit the voice actors, according to some scenes of the first half.

It’ similar to Re Creators special.

Are we not getting episode this week?

You get the sp only

VO description from the episode:

"Tonight, we will join the ten voice actors playing the birdcage children and look back on the fifteen episodes that comprise the first half. We'll get a sneak peek into the manga's creation and rare making-of footage."

Did they bother making a big bird cage just for this ?

Recap/SP = we didn't have enough time to finish another episode.
Pretty much.

@akki they actually did, its a small room sized cage they did interviews in

3dpd interview yuck!

Recap/SP = we didn’t have enough time to finish another episode.

You definitely know what you're talking about.

Not sure if skip, I guess I'll check it out since I'm sorta interested in the voice actors.

Recap/SP = we didn’t have enough time to finish another episode.
Pretty much.

It's currently golden week in Japan if you happen to forget or don't even know it's exist.
Prior to 2015, usually there will be a week or two break.

Being fan of Ume-chan after he voices Ushi in Juuni Taisen.

Also after watch this I understand why 002 look like Lala (coincidentally both also voiced by Toma-chan), and Ichigo look like Sairenji.
Make me wonder why no chara who like Yami-chan or Tear ^_^
