86 Part 2

The disappearance of the Spearhead Squadron beyond the horizon does little to hide the intensity of the Republic of San Magnolia's endless propaganda. Vladilena Milizé continues to operate as "Handler One," the commander of yet another dehumanized 86th faction's squadron in the continuous war against the Legion.

On the Western Front, Shinei Nouzen and his squad are quarantined in a military base controlled by the Federal Republic of Giad, formerly known as the Giadian Empire. The newly-established government grants the saved Eighty-Six full citizenship and freedom. Housed by the president Ernst Zimmerman himself, the group meets his adoptive daughter and the last Empress, Augusta Frederica Adel-Adler.

However, within the calm of this tender society, Shinei and his team feel that their purpose is on the battlefield. Before long, they are once again in the midst of the Legion's onslaught as a part of the Federacy's Nordlicht Squadron, accompanied by Augusta Frederica. But, as history repeats itself, they realize that no matter the side, death and pain on the front lines are the only comfort they know.

Never in my life would i have thought that I would see all that I wanted in a series in one only, words cannot simply describe the feelings that I have felt throughout the episodes. It is incredible just sensing how much the messages from this anime are getting to you, it is just a masterpiece.

86 is one hell of a watch, because if it is not clear to you yet, you will cry your eyes out, you will feel every word it wants to say to you. The story is simply incredible, just presenting us what racism is about, what do people that get ... abused by it truly feel. It is not the only message, it shows us that in this life we cannot be alone and even if we are we will not stand for long, it shows us what goals are about and how important it is to update them after we complete them and don't get stuck up to our past.

Drama, death, trauma, struggle, love, loyalty, those are the elements of 86 combined with the breathtaking animations and effects will make anyone fall in love with this anime, the way the story is expanding and continuing will make you want more and more, but at the same time wanting it to end seeing what happens.

Most of the characters share the same past, in this way it is just pure pleasure seeing them getting the right treatment. My only and little complaint are that the MC got too much attention at some episodes, at least more than he needed and that other important to the story characters were not shown for many episodes, but that can be explained for making the show more interesting by not revealing some things. It is easy to fall in love with the characters, with them showing so many feelings.

86 is one of those series that wish they were longer with more episodes but deep down you know that the amount of episodes and how the story played out in that number of them is just perfect. It has no flaws, it is truly was on the greatest anime ever produced. I can feel what the characters are feeling, this alone is one good reason for giving this anime a try, it will not disappoint.

I don't why people hate on this anime, but this is comfortably a 10, people are playing with the word "masterpiece" too much nowadays.

Mixed Feelings

Meh... You know, I feel the same feeling, like always. Again we had a good first season and something worse/not that good in second. Let's be honest, there were a really good potential in first season, another way to show descrimination and all other nearby to it. And i thought, that in second we'll see more and better, 'cauze rationg were much higher, but what we've seen so? No progress at all? Just a 12 episodes of average mech anime about war? It feels like i just watched a basic faceless title. Too much cliche, standart shonen characters and more. We lost somehow mystic atmosphere ... in it.

I guess it is just too hard to make this kind of titles. Firstly you push your idea through the world, full of unknown and abstract features. And this kind of abstraction makes focus on some problems/ideas/etc. I mean THIS is the way to show us something, and you don't need to open us more of the world, we need to see how problems are going to be done, what answers will we get. But 86 is not about it. Part2 is just a basic ending of a basic anime, and this is sad. Potential is gone, but i've got something like inspiration for my own work, so time was not wasted.

But tbh, i recomend watching only first season.

Is it worth watching an entire season just for the last 2 episodes to be good?
No.
Consider Part 1 the ending. Go do something else.

As well as the last scene is, and as anticipated as the reveal was, I do not consider it worth watching the whole show just for it. Maybe somebody could make an abridged version that leaves out the boss fight arc, and that'll make it better to watch and less dragged out. We don't learn much more about the characters, and they stop becoming interesting as soon as the focus is turned away from the survival aspect.
