One small scene I noticed is that when Shin first met Eugene in the library, Eugene mentions that he didn't come from money and that he was joining the military to support his sister. The camera then pans to their feet, where you can visibly see Shin's polished shoes (probably given to him by the President) facing Eugene's scuffed, unpolished shoes, which highlights their economic differences. Brilliant contrast by A-1/the writers!

It's not actually just the delay..but also their meeting! Shin and the squad went home after their fight with the Morpho at December 24..and they reunited with Lena on March 20! It also took them 86 days lmao

By the way I would like to mention that Eugene is phonetically simillar to 友人(yuujin) which means friend in japanese. It's a pun because Eugene was the first friend Shin made in the Giad federation.

86 production staff deserves so much support after the last two epic episodes. They made us cry and smile at the same time. Man these 2 episodes are still stuck with me, and I still got tears in my eyes when I watch them.

I always took the red streak in her hair as a symbolism that she was "different" than the other "Albans". The idea that she willingly added color to her hair and hair being one of the main factors used to judge Alban from "other", "lesser", "non-human" was an act of defiance in the face of a society of likeness, purity, and whiteness. I took the red streak as her saying eff-you to Magnolian society.

another subtle detail that Shin's Voice Actor himself revealed regarding the time of Eugene's death that we see Shin hesitate a little before picking up Eugene's locket, and then in the next scene he opens it for Eugene to see. I didn't notice first that he actually wiped the blood off of his hand before touching the locket. SO MUCH DETAILS that we might not even catch but they still put it in.

Back for an algorithm boost! Another awesome episode! Going to part 3 now!

There are a lot more parallels between Shin and Odin later on, but here is some in the anime that you missed: 1. Shin collects the tags of his fallen comrades into a box, while Odin collects the souls of esteemed warriors into Valhalla. So it could be said that the box of tags is Shin's Valhalla. 2. This one is a bit of a stretch but I'll put it here anyway. Odin has two dogs, Freki and Geri. Freki is Bernholdt's (Shin's sergeant) callsign, and by process of elimination, Geri is Fido.

Aside from the rain scene, I think Shin's mini portrait was progressively crumpling through out the season because Lena were holding onto it the most. Additionally, prior to Raiden shoving Shin to confront him, the rails raiden was aligned to was a straight path, beside it was rails bent/ turned away which was rails aligned with shin. I love your 86 videos, looking forward for last two episodes

Not the first time A-1 pictures "coincidentally" air important anime episode which relates to our calendar date, for this case 86 days and 20 March which was displayed on the last episode. Your lie in april 2nd cour was delayed for few weeks, and "coincidentally" the last episode was aired on 1st day of spring. :)

Shin kept calling himself grim reaper. Then the other day I saw this comment somewhere and thought I'd like to share: "Grim reaper isn't a 'killer', he's 'God's Harvester' who guides the dead. Scythe isn't a weapon, it's a farmer tool."

Fun fact: Lena's artillery may have been based off the cbu-97/cbu-105 sensor fused weapon. A real life weapon that features the hockey pucks that detonate into a stream of hypersonic molten copper that penetrates through armour

86 is such an amazing anime. In terms of a LN adaptation, it is arguably the BEST ever. Period. Not only that, but 86 as Ishii’s debut as a director is astounding. I also love how you go over the ED’s as well, with how it changes every episode visually to point out the symbolisms of each episode…not a lot of people talk about this so props to you.

As a French, we cant see a lot of similarity with our history and St Magnolia: -the main city is a copy of Paris - The moto republic "liberté égalité fraternité", like the french one -St Magnolia the heroine of the republic is like Jeanne D'arc, heroic figure but killed after all of this, St Magnolia was killed too (in the LN is explicated)

Also some nerdy things to point out that not many people will notice; -Both the Republic and the Federacy use NATO symbols, which implies that both sides could potentially had an alliance prior to the events in the show -As with above, in Episode 14 we hear some Giad troops talking about how a 2nd Lieutenant (Shin) is commanding a Battalion (which would typically be led by a Lt. Col / Col). In Episode 15 at about 11:40, we can see a NATO accurate order of battle for the 177th Armored Division. If you look at the 1028EXU, it is in fact a Battalion -During the air drop at Episode 19, two palettes were dropped each containing 7 Feldreß for a total of 14. This is also accurate to how modern armored Companies / Squadron are set up (mainly the US Army and I guess the US Marines before they lost their tanks). 4 vehicles makes a platoon, 3 platoon (12) and a HQ element of 2 makes a Company (14)

Here's a detail about Lena's uncle, he's literally her, and in some respects, in a worse position. His rank is Brigadier General. This is a 1-star general. Looking how the real world works, compared to non-flag officers, he has immense power and influence, but when you actually look at the big picture? He literally has no ability to influence national policy or defense strategy. A 1-star general (and most 2-star generals, frankly) may as well be a coffee boy intern when it comes to the real big boy leagues which are dominated by 3- and 4-star generals and civilian leadership. The most he really can do is give Lena some measure of protection from any Colonels and Lt. Colonels who have it out for her. Ironically enough, this is what enables Lena to have enough leeway to act and rally the 86 behind her. But there's nobody higher up looking out for Jerome. The buck stops with him.

Here's my section to things that you may have missed: MORPHO - Legion Long Range Artillery is based on the schwerer gustav as mentioned above However, another thing to note; is that Morpho was only shown with only two constructed units, just like the schwerer gustav where there only two operational guns produced back in WW2

14:25 , to add to that , the Spearhead members made it back home on Dec 24th 2149 , just in time for christmas. They met their new commanding officer (Lena) on March 20th, 2150 . 86 days later.

I watched your first analysis of 86 and man, I'm blown away by your findings. There are so many details and hints of the anime and you basically saw all of them! I've been wondering what was the symbolism when the butterfly was eaten by the ants, so that was it! So happy you made this for us! 86 really is a masterpiece and their show, not tell is insane. I'm loving the anime and the story even more now. Keep it up bro! You've earned a subscribe for me!💥 I'm looking forward for your next video

"its not often you come across an anime that oozes passion" last time was... three months ago with Mushoku. but still the fact that there were two AMAZING shows within a year, I think is saying something about the quality of anime to come

Having found a lot of these myself, I'm glad that you've compiled pretty much most of them. It's amazing innit, the fact that they added SO many details into practically every frame. The amount of sophistication in the making of this show is really mind-blowing. You don't often see anime worthy of becoming the de-facto, definitive edition of a series, especially those adapted from light novels. Thanks for the analysis!

86 is truly a masterpiece. The attention of detail is on par with movie production. And being able to maintain the quality over 23 episodes is just insane.

14:17 lol nice edit there. Also, awesome analysis

Episode 18: Ernst speech for 86 unit was chilling. I was shivering for the few seconds. That intensity from a comedian was an absolute surprise.

Without you I don't even know they have a website and goddamn just went in today and it's beautifully designed. Good job man

Eugene's death was really Jarring... Really punches the gut. One moment we were all laughing, the next, Shin is putting one in his head. OMG!

Thank you for another video about your insights on 86! You helped me clear a lot about the show! Btw I rewatched episode 4 of season 1(or just episode 4) and noticed when Lena asked Shin about Rei and told her it was his brother, it cuts to a scene where he said "He's my brother" and you can see his mouth moving, but the outline of the mouth from his shadow doesn't move one bit and it scared the life out of me. Cut back to Episode 22 around the part where his shadow is telling him that he brought his friends on his journey to seek death, I thought there was a correlation behind it.

I don't know if this is far-fetched, but when it showed Shin's tear down the window it was from his right eye. From what I researched tearing from the right eye can signify loss of hope. Perhaps in this case it was Shin losing hope that there was someone who could carry his heart, as he had been doing for all the other 86.

And on Ep21 you can actually see San Magnolia's Gran Mur behind the Morpho in a couple of shots so you can tell Shin's well in range of the Para-RAID and Lena's mortars

Been waiting for pt2

man, dont know why I'm crying watching this

this was really good. keep up the great work!! looking forward to part 3

Wow these details just makes us appreciate this anime even more than we already did. Thanks for compiling them!

That artillery strike with the Morpho fight made sense now thanks to you. I never catch on to that. I thought it was Federacy support or one of the allied nations but I was really confused why the caller mentioned unknown pilot when they know who they sent. That also made sense now why Lena was there right away after the fight, they were already supporting him before the fight ended.

I appreciate this kind of video so much! Hope you make more of 86 content!

Yessss I love these explained videos! It just reminds of the absolute brilliance of this anime. Thank you

Once again, your video has clarified so much for me! Thank you!

Keep up the good work man! These kind of details show even more how big of a masterpiece 86 is. Just when you think there is no meaning to a certain meaning, boom there it is, with its rightful and incredible meaning.

Nice Job compiling these details. I fun that I noticed some of it and some are discussed in detail. especially the Butterfly thing and its name. I cant wait for the finale.

Thank you fam, it was an awesome video!

lets goooo!!! I've been waiting for this video since s1 ended. Your analysis is always top tier

Really appreciate your effort and I will be looking forward towards your next 2 videos :)

Wow, I didn’t notice any of these details lol. You have quite an eye

You are really underrated, Friend. Great analysis once again. I didn't know the ending sequence song was in sync with the video, I was left utterly speechless when I found out.

I love 86! I very much enjoy your videos. Please keep it up!

Love these videos man

86 is arguably a Top 5 anime personally for me. Damn near perfection

wow, just wow. I've been in love with your analysis ever since the first one. Keep it up man!

I am absolutely impressed by your findings in this anime. Thank you for the amzaing video!!! love it so much!!!

Waiting on that next video, thanks for you

One piece of symbolism I'd like to point out is in Episode 16, when Shin arrives with reinforcements to the frontlines, he ironically becomes more "machine" than "human" while fighting the Legion. He's had to bury his memories, shed away his emotions, throw away his common sense, and mitigate some of his self-preservation in order to survive and win against the Legion forces. The one thing that snapped him out of his "machine" mode? He heard, remembered, or hallucinated Lena's voice. Through Lena's voice in that moment, she brought Shin back to humanity.

Your 2 videos legit make me love the show a lot more it’s hella sick

Thank you for this video

Looking forward to part three. I've really been enjoying all these breakdowns and comparing what I noticed with what I missed.

Amazing video bro simply amazing, and you are 100% episodes 22 & 23 deserve a video for themselves as they are masterpieces of storytelling

amazing video :) waiting for part 3

Great video. I like it very much. Waiting for the next video.

LET S GO great video ! See you in part 3 !

I've been waiting for this

Thank you very much for the detailed analysis! This anime is awesome! Anime like this is rare! You are the best, you helped me understand a lot!

That railway blockade scene was something I didn't thought at first but when you explained from metaphorical perspective it makes sense. 🙏This anime is a hidden gem! So much you can learn from it. Thank you for clearing it up!🙏

86 is a pretty good adaptation. Their screenplay and pacing between scenes differs quite a bit from the LN at times, clearly to create a more cinematic experience with impactful symbolism. It's a really competent way to translate the more detailed descriptions of a written medium into a more visually focused medium. Someone out there clearly really cared about this, which is cool to see.

Love the outro music tease while we wait for part 3. I see what you did there, can't wait for the last part.

Your work is superb, and I really enjoy your assessments and analysis. 86 eighty-six is one of the top three anime of 2021/22. Thank you for your hard work and discovery of all the hidden pieces and parts. You are a precious gem in the morass of fool's gold on RU-vid.

Love your video!

Top tier video. Idk how this doesn't have more likes

15:00 we thank you too, love it when someone talks about ur favorite anime

Great job, dude.

I am not a fan of mecha but I have to say 86 is my most favorite anime! I have never seen an anime go this deep into details... I have no clue why this is not getting further seasons! sadly the manga was stopped too.. I have started light novels..

Great video again. I guess I'm going to have to rewatch the show.

Great work! 👍

thank you so much for 3 parts of detail. you made me love this anime more and more. thank

very detailed, can't wait for part 3

Thank you so much for your reviews on 86. I love this anime and there is so much double meaning hidden in the anime you point out that I missed.BZ

Wow, TYVM for all the details we missed

Great material... Suscribed.

Amazing work. I was blown away.

Love your content.

9:16 looks like Soviet Ekranoplan

Nice video! Good work, my dude!

@12:40 IIRC the OST "The Answer" was never played at all in Cour 2 even with all the fighting of Nordlicht squad. It only played whenever Lena was there supporting Shin and also only in this scene, which also ties into Fredirica's question for Shin, Lena's survival being his "Answer" for living.

Amazing video, this anime is so underrated, the meaning of the Shin/Raiden railroad scene blow my mind. Greetings from Costa Rica

This is sooo good i realy like the details

Your insight is fire! I missed a lot!

MY GOD MAN YOUR TOO GOOD YOUR SYMBOLISM IS SO GOOD

I really love Eighty Six And now I love it even more after this

86 felt like I was reliving the feeling of watching AOT, but a little subtle. It's all the shinzo, all the feeling and not to mention all the hype that keeps me at the edge of my seat.

14:13 director said he didn't thought about it and when he knew he said something like "am I genius?"

amazing video! you earned urself a new sub

insane analysis

You’re assessments are amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on this incredible show.

Another thing i noticed is, when the squad is talking about their future, Shin is standing far away from the rest. He is the only one standing next to his Juggernaut, symbolising how he can't see a future ahead, only war

This channel deserves more atention, you won yourself a new subscriber, looking forward for more. Keep up the good work.

I CANT WAIT FOR YOU MAN

Another detail I've notice is that the main cast's hair color match the five color flag of the republic.

bruh, seeing Lena stress because of delay is truly hilarious here.🤣

Nice i like your video

A masterpiece i never expected to get in these years

I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers, nice videos man!
