This was the director's first actual role as a director in his career, as he's only ever directed ep 16 of fgo babylonia for the fight scenes I believe. He did an excellent job, there are small details and symbolisms that depict the story, the camera angles are great, and god damn, the fido scene on ep 10 was so good.
In all seriousness, he elevated the source material well beyond the LN's. I tried to get into them as I got hooked on the show, but... they aren't terrible, but the pacing alone is much worse. Then there are all those little moments and how the shots were framed.... If the books were 7/10 then the anime was a solid 10/10.
What I love about episode 22 and 23 is that Shin and Lena's reactions mirror each in a way and have their significant differences, when Shin saw Lena in E22, very triumphant music (Voices of the Chord) was playing, representing the fact that Shin's depressing and grim thoughts have been defeated. As for Lena seeing Shin for first time in E23, wholesome music (Lilas) was playing. The battle was over and Lena was immensely relieved to see Shin and the others alive and well. We need the next season, I hope they really make it.
Also the moment when shin saw lena the armour plate piece with his brothers name dropped out of view under the seat, showing him leaving the past behind
@@kerbodynamicx472 I mean the light novel goes on way further and I believe is not finished yet. The anime just ends in a way you could see it as an ending to the series, but there is much more to come
The LN is great. The anime is even better because of the stellar direction. PD: The only reason for a character to have plot armor in this series is for them to get even more trauma later.
It’s also amazing because they had production issues during the last season. Despite that they were able to keep the so quality high and add details to enhance it. this is my favorite anime and I really respect them all they went through.
Side note, Giad used to be an empire to which Frederica was heir apparent. Giad is a Federal Republic now, aka the Federacy. The Giad Empire created the Legion at Frederica's parents' behest and declared war on the continent. Frederica was the only survivor of the Imperial family after the civil war. Unfortunately the last order the Legion received was to destroy all enemies of the Empire, and since the Empire no longer exists, the enemy is every other country in the world left. Good video though!
The last frame where Shin and Lena go to hold hands, and the silhouettes of their hands form the number 86, and cuts to the 86 title card, is one of the most beautiful transitions I’ve ever seen
5:31 while yes the self destruction didn’t kill Shin the main point was to destroy the railgun mech so that it couldn’t be salvaged and reused by the humans. Self destruction of technology in wars was definitely a thing that happened during the Cold War but not sure about any wars before then.
It happened in previous wars as well, just what was worth destroying varied. Charts and other valuable information were tossed overboard in weighted pouches during the Age of Sail (and before then, no doubt). Tanks would be destroyed if they had to be left behind as you retreated in WW2. There's always scorched earth tactics, where you torch everything you can as you retreat. Ships had scuttling charges to avoid their capture (Bismarck's were used, though she'd have sank regardless, as were the ones on various U-boats). And, in the Pacific, the USS Wasp was scuttled through torpedoes fired by the USS Lansdowne, to avoid her potential capture.
Me, watching this anime in 2021: You know, a little bit exaggerated, but I can see what it's trying to do. Me, a Russian, rewatching it in the summer 2022: This is my life now. It's 100% historically accurate.
Ukraine is San Magnolia. Super racist interior hidden neatly away until it was exposed by a violent invasion, and even tried to conscript their own racial minorities to do the fighting for them while simultaneously leaving them behind on the frontlines (remember that interview with the Congolese man in late Feb 2022 who the Ukies tried to force into the army). Uber corrupt leadership constantly lying to the public trying to make their military look mightier than it really is (remember that bullshit with the "Ghost of Kiev" and the "Snake Island Massacre"). I haven't even gotten into how Chinese students and foreign workers were being beaten and stoned in the streets by Ukie civilians taking out their anger on the most convenient targets when the invasion started. No, I have not forgiven Ukraine and it's no surprise the vast majority of Asian, Latin American, and African countries want nothing to do with Zelensky and his regime.
Gota say, for me 86 was easily anime of the season and a very strong contender for anime of the year when it came out. Although it was riddle with production issues, I really hope we get to see a season 2 because this was an amazing ride. Also, I know you already said it but the cgi was simply fire.
Criminally overrated. This is literally another generic mech that tries to be deep. Same political warfare with bad, forgettable characters. Code geass, even though medicore, was far better
Hey Shield Hero season 2, meet 86 part 2. -> This is how you use CGi. -> This is how you animate a fight vs giant creature -> This is how you care about characters -> This is how you make use of source material -> This is how you reward your fans for patience and not totally dissapoint them. I hope you learned from your cousin 86.
Well to be fair it's pretty clear they butchered season 2 on purpose since the tortoise arc is considered the worst arc by far of the entire novel although they could've developed the new characters way better than they did
@@okita_souji_alter Books aren't that bad. Mostly for character development scenes and MMORPG style. In the LN there is a lot of attention to item stats, upgrading old ones, raising skill levels and maxing traits. We got plenty of dialogues to make readers attached to both new and old characters. We can understand how the weakest - Shield hero become strongest of all 4 since he prepare for battles really hardcore and in general work really hard. Part 2 butchered this. We barely get to know new characters. Rishia in the LN got her awesome moments, author didn't rush her development, he was constantly leaving clues about this character's future and hidden potential, I could go on and on about how bad anime was compared to book but point is - It was huge dissapointment for everyone anime and book fans. 86 in comparison looks great and I can't wait to see more episodes I hope they will keep releasing more.
@@arivald6677 nev5said the novels were bad just that manga and novel wise the tortoise arc is considered the worst of the bunch. I also already mentioned this but season 2's biggest issue is the lack of development for the new characters which the novels had no issue with
This anime, especially Shin resonated to me in a way that I can emphasize with people that have lost their friends and family (to war/disease). When you experience or imagine these depressing events many times, you'll reach a point of stoicism where you will become alexithymia (indifference or numbness to the happenings around you mentally & emotionally). Not having the desire to purpue the things you enjoyed previously in life to the same extent. There may be a few things that you continue doing, but that's it. You don't really enjoy social gatherings for superficial meet-ups, nor explore the world (Covid pandemic worsened prospects of travelling). You retain your emotions, but they only surface when you're interacting with another person you feel emotionally attached to. After joining the military I truly understood what true friendship was suppose to be. You feel pain and struggle, but your buddies are also feeling the exact pains and emotions you do. Yet they still support you or you support them through the grueling challenges. These friendships in the military become lifelong bonds of souls. What makes war so sad and painful is that your best friends can be taken from your life and the life of their families at any moment.
Wait, seriously?! Why are people so stupid, it's an amazing storytelling device, wrought with built-in conflict and morality (or lack thereof). Do some shows handle it poorly? Yeah, but 86 ain't one of them! This is one of my favorite shows, it's an amazing story, every scene has meaning, it's been adapted amazingly from the ln, FIDO. Seriously, what's not to like??
I absolutely love this anime even with the issues they had behind production. Amazing world building 2 amazing main characters and a great story serving as a criticism for abusive governments. The second opening was absolutely amazing too
If I remember the whole point of the story is that not a single side is good. There is no such thing as good person. Everyone is shit in their own way, even the legion AI might make sense. Even when 86 gets to the giad they still get treated no different once in the army and the parts of taking child as "mascot" (hostage) etc.
Love your sense of humor. Always something to laugh at, when watching these videos. Personally 86 is in my Top 3 if not the best anime I´ve ever watched. Never seen anything else thats so perfect in nearly every aspect. And as you said the music in this one is probably unbeatable
it was really fun to watch as a huge fan of this anime who recently finished it. with all writings and animations I also loved techincal details on this anime like real life armor piercing ammos, sabots, spearhead behing a real life military term and tactic etc. I enjoy it more when I see such details. They know not everyone will understand these but its about passion.
Yeah, seing APFSDS round fired by the legion triggered some War Thunder PTSD, but as long as they don't have CAS it is okay But honestly, APFSDS is a bit overkill, mechas with legs can't be armored a lot if not at all, so just APHE or just HE (especially coming from an angry soviet fridge with murderous intent aka KV2) would work, using HE just fire near the legs of the old mech of the Republic and they are gone and thus can't move if it didn't already destroyed the mech But apart from that, Eighty Six is a 10/10, just a masterpiece and I hope would become a classical
I had watched 86 when it came out in 2021, and my opinion about it at the time was " It's just a good anime, nothing more " and my rating for it at the time was only 7/10. But with time and after hearing many people's opinions about it and how it is a great anime and its story is deep, my mind started wondering " Was the anime really that great but I am the one who didn't understand it? " So I decided to rewatch it again, but this time with my full focus, because at the time I wasn't focusing on the story and dialogues. I finished watching it a while ago and honestly the anime was really great and much better than I thought. I can say that 86 is simply one of the best mecha and drama anime ever. And my rating for it now is 9.5/10.
86 was pretty good. Not the biggest fan of mecha but I think they did pretty well with everything. The first ed & op 1 & 2 were so good! Also obligatory ask to review Link Click & Re:Life. bonus ask! A Silent Voice & School-Live!👀
Idk how 86 didnt get anime of the year great anime I never wanted to watch it at first cuhz it had terrible promo n it didn't look good but I got bored asf 1 day after work smh one of the best anime decisions I ever made taught me just try couple episodes of every anime dat doesn't look super weak unless its isekai
5:30 I thought I'd mention this, but the self destruct feature is to make sure that the human side isn't able to salvage any info from the legion, so after they take a certain amount of damage they just blow up. I get that this part was satire but well, thought I'd mention it
gonna be 100% honest ... I just looked up what they were called on the internet after I finished it because I forgot to write down what they were called
I am not gonna lie I really enjoyed watching your review for 86. I laughed so hard while watching the video. It is one of my favourite anime but as you mentioned there are some parts that leave a question mark in the minds. Despite all, the anime is 10/10 to me.
Found your channel because of this video. Its like if overanalyzing avatar met my mothers basement, and I really enjoy it. Also 86 is one of my favorite anime with one of the most satisfying endings I have seen in a while.
Der Giadische Kaiserreich was overthrown and replaced by Das Bundesrepublik Giad right after the legion war started, so referring to the federal republic as the empire is kind of a misnomer
I was so gonna suggest thus anime but I didn't cuz its heavy, and by far the best anime/LN ever, so this video is a mix of feelings, it's great really, but since ik how heavy it is, I'm also ehhhhhhh
I love this anime this is definitely top 3 for anime of the year from the music to characters it’s all great I get a aot vibe when I watch this is definitely a 9.5/10 anime I just wish we got more of Lena with the other squad we need a season 2
@@SilverKarma Pretty decent? but I watch a lot of Social-Politics Anime... and 86 is one of them. So in my point of view 86 is like Code Geass: Akito the exiled... but better
@@baka_monogatari3389 i hated how the animation looked so i just read about the events/plot and didn't watch it, in the end the only thing that "mattered" on that spin-off was Julius.
How did I not know about the last 2 episodes???!!!! I thought 21 was the last but I guess they just had a huge delay between episodes?? I’m gonna catch up rn
analysis that isnt mine: Shin was hated for his title, having being the only survivor of all the squads hes transferred tof being in the same squad as him meant certain death, so yea being akames friend has more chances of not biting the dust
Yup, alot of squads viewed his joining as bringing devil's luck to the squad which brought a sure demise to them, while others who noticed shin's kindness found his joining as a god's gift that their deaths will be easier and will actually contribute to something, towards shin's journey's end atleast.
Thank you so much for reviewing this anime! At first I actually hated Lena because I thought she was a hypocrite and she was a painful reminder of how I have the same flaws as her. But as the series went on, she learned to accept her flaws, accept that she can’t change the reality of her society, and with positive reality believe she can change this world for the better as long as she keeps fighting. I rarely ever seen the realities of racism so well depicted in anime before, except for maybe AOT. And her character development has been so well executed. As for Shin, at first I thought he was going to be a flat character who is emotionless for no particular reason which is something anime is often guilty of. But I was surprised with how complex he was as a character. His journey is far from over so I hope there will be a season 2.
You got two things wrong (kinda), while they were all at the brink of death, Shin's brother swoops in using another Legion mech he got and saves them, taking them all the way to federacy borders. The mech was can be seen in ep 12. It was also why they were thought of as "Legion spies". And they didn't join the Army of the "Empire" since they no longer exist, they're a Federacy now. Very minor, but hey.
Ok this thing has 11 VOLUMES seperately sold. Not available natively in my country. Import charges are freaking High due to global recession First 2 season complete volume 2 and half
86 ending in a nutshell:
You meet your discord Girlfriend for the first time
LMAOOOO I wish I thought of this
The unrealistic part though is that she is, in fact, a girl and not some dude. And that she is GODDAMN HOT
basically the plot of Eurotrip
Or just simply: "My Discord Darling"
This was the director's first actual role as a director in his career, as he's only ever directed ep 16 of fgo babylonia for the fight scenes I believe.

Then there are all those little moments and how the shots were framed.... If the books were 7/10 then the anime was a solid 10/10.
I think if there wasn't a 3-4 month delay the last two episodes might not be hype as much but still this might one of my favorite Anime ending
Don't forget about the pretty much weekly delays on episodes
the gag was that we waited 86 days for the last 2 eps
Lol just be like me and wait forever and not realize it
To me it was worth it totally
Don’t worry it’s not an ending, it’s actually just the beginning
What I love about episode 22 and 23 is that Shin and Lena's reactions mirror each in a way and have their significant differences, when Shin saw Lena in E22, very triumphant music (Voices of the Chord) was playing, representing the fact that Shin's depressing and grim thoughts have been defeated.

How can you say that you never seen good CGI in anime?! Fate Zero and Fate Stay Night UBW and Heaven's Feel had a ton of CGI.
Probably didnt notice since they blended it so well
You want actual good CGI?
Try watching any animated short from honkai impact 3rd
Yeah but the thing with those is that most of the cgi is used on the background effects instead of the characters and models themselves
did it lol? I don't remember

Love this anime, clearly best girl is Fido but Lena is fine too I guess🤷🏼♂️ Nice vid brother
That one about the s squad was great
My favorite anime of 2021 I'm happy see to that's it's getting reviewed.
Season 1 is only the prologue. season 2 is the real shit
Der Giadische Kaiserreich was overthrown and replaced by Das Bundesrepublik Giad right after the legion war started, so referring to the federal republic as the empire is kind of a misnomer
Just finished Season 1 man what a masterpiece anime
86 is so good I'm so glad u watched it, it's in my top 10 I love it so much
8:26 Yep. That's my response to that line...
New title: Roasting 86 then trying to say sorry in the end.
😭🤣
I was so gonna suggest thus anime but I didn't cuz its heavy, and by far the best anime/LN ever, so this video is a mix of feelings, it's great really, but since ik how heavy it is, I'm also ehhhhhhh
I never heard of this show, but since it has Anime Fascism I'll be sure to check it out sometime. Probably four years from now :)
This is easily my favorite anime and yet this is still easily one of my favorites yt vids
I agree with you that they should have died or at the very least Raiden should have
I love this anime this is definitely top 3 for anime of the year from the music to characters it’s all great I get a aot vibe when I watch this is definitely a 9.5/10 anime I just wish we got more of Lena with the other squad we need a season 2
yeah this was a good anime, mabye best of the year, just hope for a season 2
You should definitely read the Light Novel. The Anime was a good adaptation but there actually is a lot more depth and world building to the story.
86 is what darling in the franxx coulda possibly been if it didnt have too much fanservice/ecchi.
The ending was good making up for darling in the Franxx's ending 10/10
actually frieza didnt turn black in the movie, it was the latest manga release
ohhhhh lol thanks for telling me I just see the memes
86? Sound like Code Geass: Spider edition!
Wait... 86 is literally Code Geass: Akito the exiled? Am I the only one who thought about that?
how many mecha anime have you watched?
As popular as Code Geass is, I never hear anyone talk about Boukoku no Akito, which makes me wonder how many people watched it.
@@SilverKarma Pretty decent? but I watch a lot of Social-Politics Anime... and 86 is one of them.
So in my point of view 86 is like Code Geass: Akito the exiled... but better
@@baka_monogatari3389 i hated how the animation looked so i just read about the events/plot and didn't watch it, in the end the only thing that "mattered" on that spin-off was Julius.
Do vivy next it's pretty good
Banger.
86 has meaning, it means to "discard" or "throw away" something.
8.6 ?!
I think I have to watch 86
This guy never fails to make me laugh 😂
How did I not know about the last 2 episodes???!!!! I thought 21 was the last but I guess they just had a huge delay between episodes?? I’m gonna catch up rn
Is it good? :)
@@hijisfriend9030 yes
Dude that start with World War 2 had me rolling😭
analysis that isnt mine:
Shin was hated for his title, having being the only survivor of all the squads hes transferred tof being in the same squad as him meant certain death, so yea being akames friend has more chances of not biting the dust
Yup, alot of squads viewed his joining as bringing devil's luck to the squad which brought a sure demise to them, while others who noticed shin's kindness found his joining as a god's gift that their deaths will be easier and will actually contribute to something, towards shin's journey's end atleast.
Raiden was riding Fido and his mech was on autopilot, that s how he survived.
Dare you to do start doing all the Gundam Series
Hey lunar you should do some of RWBY
Thank you so much for reviewing this anime!
At first I actually hated Lena because I thought she was a hypocrite and she was a painful reminder of how I have the same flaws as her. But as the series went on, she learned to accept her flaws, accept that she can’t change the reality of her society, and with positive reality believe she can change this world for the better as long as she keeps fighting. I rarely ever seen the realities of racism so well depicted in anime before, except for maybe AOT. And her character development has been so well executed.
As for Shin, at first I thought he was going to be a flat character who is emotionless for no particular reason which is something anime is often guilty of. But I was surprised with how complex he was as a character. His journey is far from over so I hope there will be a season 2.
hi just came out of Iron Blooded Orphans and can't wait to hear you ROAST
Bro i didn't get the notifications of thia video even though i have notifications bell on.
I will sue youtube for you my guy don't worry 😂appreciate your support
10:15
Seriously tho, wtf is up with that?
You got two things wrong (kinda), while they were all at the brink of death, Shin's brother swoops in using another Legion mech he got and saves them, taking them all the way to federacy borders. The mech was can be seen in ep 12. It was also why they were thought of as "Legion spies".
And they didn't join the Army of the "Empire" since they no longer exist, they're a Federacy now.
Very minor, but hey.
one day i hope to see lunar review record of ragnarok so i can see adam at best girl tier
Lol I actually saw the anime when it came out I plan on reviewing it but have no clue how since they just punch the shit out of eachother
@@LunarEquinox that is true maybe once season 2 comes out and jack the ripper gets his fight
Ngl 86 was great but now we wait again and i like ur opinion g with darling in the franxx but good
Ok this thing has 11 VOLUMES seperately sold.
Not available natively in my country.
Import charges are freaking High due to global recession
First 2 season complete volume 2 and half
86 is a underated semi masterpiece
Laughs in volume 11. ( I mean really never read a more brutal thing than that for a long time)
The lorax references makes this show more enjoyable, atleast funnier
Magnolia is also an ice cream brand in the Philippines
unlimited mec-
wait this isn't fate ehhh idc
UNLIMITED MECHA WORKS
vivy fluorite eye's song pls REEE

You're making fun of it, while it's my favourite anime😂
