86

What an emotional ride that was. It might as well have been series finale. A bit sad at the end really with a flicker of hope for the squad.

The story has plenty of mystery with the enemy, overarching political themes that add to the realism and depth, and lovable characters that make us want more. The OST is god-tier and it's no surprise because it's Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto who did the OST for things like AoT. And the animation is absolutely stellar. The action is quite literally a combo of AoT and Code Geass where our characters pilot tank mechas that swing around like ODM-gear. Yes there is CGI, but the blending of it almost gives demon slayer a run for its money.

If you're still on-edge of watching this anime, go watch the 2nd opening (minimal spoilers, 1st opening is okay) to get a feel. This show is a hidden gem right now within the community.

I just finished this show and absolutely loved it, the plot was a lot deeper than I thought it was going to be, my only issue was that I felt like it should've been longer, it kinda gave off AoT vibes but instead was only 11 episode. Still recommend watching it.

A very well adapted LN series 86 certainly made an impact in its season 1. If you love military action packed anime along with emotional moments (for instance ep 9 was an absolute banger) and a touch of mysterious world then 86 will certainly amaze you. The closest thing to the world of 86 is the universe of AOT, in terms of disagreement among the races of people. So I recommend you watching it, it's a short anime which will continue its journey in the fall of this year.

The story will be great in future. Absolutely recommended. Watch it or you will miss a very good story line. One of the good anime series that I will recommend for you to watch.
