86 Eighty Six - Reviewing Details You Missed From the Anime Part 1 

Part 2 is here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gC5IUw1s33g.html If you liked this video, leave a like, a comment, share this video or subscribe! RU-vid algorithm hates small channels so they dont promote these videos. 86 is a great anime and I want to share how great the series is with as many people as I can. Thanks to your kind words and support, I plan to make a part 2 for the 2nd half of 86!

That transition where people are slowly being moved from living to deceased really hits hard.

One detail I just noticed re-watching the first episode, when we first see Lena, she salutes the flowers and we see 2 petals fall off, representing the first 2 casualties of the spearhead squadron. Kujo was the third casualty. Man, the layers of detail they went to for this anime is unreal.

Couple more things: Kaie’s death was also foreshadowed when she took the Ace of Spades in her card game. The Ace of Spades is a symbol of death. The order that stripped the 86 of their rights was Order 6609. If you reverse that, you get 9066 which was the Executive Order signed by FDR in 1942 that stripped all Japanese Americans of their rights resulting in them being placed in internment camps.

Just a moment idk if you noticed but... When Shin kills Rei, he breaks down crying as the music plays, right? Cut to Lena afterwards, and we can hear Shin crying over the Para RAID. Lena is holding the picture of Shin in her hand, BECAUSE THAT'S HER WAY OF HOLDING HIM AS HE CRIES.

What the production team did with Fido is absolutely inspiring. In canon side stories as well as the LNs it is absolutely explained that Fido was indeed Shin's "dog" containing an extremely advanced AI but it would have been very difficult to have to explain it in the limited timeframe of the anime. So instead they put little snippets of his history and his significance to Shin and it's all right there to see. Just brilliant.

Regarding names. Every one of them has a meaning. Vladilena Milize, meaning was explained in other comment and video itself. I would just like to add that Vladimir, is basically "ruler of peace" (vlad = ruler, mir = peace). Milize can have multiple explanation, I like to associate it with the word mily, which means loved, liked, nice. Milize, is simmiliar to "milić", trying to be like by someone. On polish forums there is word play, "Miliza się przymila", "Miliza is endearing". Vaclav Milize. While surname explanation still fits, Vaclav is Czech name, it's meaning is "more glory". He is last Alba casualty of the war, Vladilena is constantly compared to him. It's pretty much showing like "More famous/glorious of Milize". Foreshadowing, that many of Lena actions are dictated by the need to match her father. Shinei Nouzen, "Undertaker", actually is very straightforward. Shinei means "Die". His name is basically version of death. Nouzen is (at least fonetically) meaning "Campsis grandiflora", beautiful redish flower, which can be seen during few scenes in anime. Theoto Rikka, "Laughing Fox". For me he will always be associated with Polish cavalry unit "Lisowczycy" (something like "Fox people" or "Foxers"). Special unit for quick actions behind enemy lines, specializing in quick attacks and diversion. I guess this is caused by both "Laughing Fox" and "Lisowczycy" taking their names from behaving like hunting fox. Theo is associated with god. "God bearer", "god gift". If you notice how similar his fighting style is to Shinei and associate it with name that Legions gave to Undertaker, you can quickly connect those facts. Rikka have a lot of meanings, but combining Theo yellow hairs with this surname, I would guess it means "Life", since he is light hearted, energetic and emotional, it serves him well. Also, since he fights in similar manner to Shin, who is associated with death, this would mean that Theo and Undertaker are "different sides of the same coin". Raiden Shuga, "Wehrwolf". This is my personal favourite, cause it needs to connect a lot of facts. Wehrwolf, was "last defence" plan for Germans in World War II. It was plan to fight after war. One of the most important generals involved in this operation was Otto Skorzeny, who's most defining features were scars on whole face, just like Raiden's. Skorzeny was also responsible for special forces (Raiden fights using machine guns instead of cannons) and even though he was not directly ruling, he had great influence on people of power (like Raiden on Shin). Also (probably a lot of overthinking), Skorzeny was responsible for evacuation of german military personal after war and Raiden is trying his best to keep alive everybody. When it comes to his name, Raiden (name which is known to every Mortal Kombat fan), is god of thunder. Protector, supporting god, who defended Japan against mongols. Raiden (or Raijin) in mythology is depicted as having "terryfing face". Regarding surname, it's tricky for me, all I've got is clan Shiyuu, famous assasins, which is consistent with previous things. Anju Emma, "Snow With". As it's stated in many things, there connection in nicknames between her and her loved one "Black Dog". Black dogs are familiars, supporting magical animals, which were helping witches. Also there is tale of Snow Witch or Snow Queen, who was riding through the land throwing around pieces of ice (or snow). Those who were hit by it in the heart fell hopelessly in love with her (pretty much like Dayiam). Mostly it reminds me of her fighting style, rocket "shower" seems very much alike falling snow. Regarding name, it's fortifying version of Snow Witch tale. Anju means "one who lives in heart" in Hindi. Regarding Emma, now it's just my theory, but there is Emma Frost, a mutant from Marvel Comics. She was born in wealthy and respected family, but by being a mutant she was mocked and oppressed. Just like half-blood Alba, which Anja is. Just for a bonus, boy who fell in love with Snow Queen is named Kai (reference Kirshblute, Kaie Taniya). Kurena Kukumila, "Gunslinger". Nickname is easy, she shoots first and accurate, just like gunslinger who wants to live. Kurena is related to word "crimson" possibly connection to her hair. Regarding Kukumila... I see three options here: 1. This has no meaning. When you try to find it, seems that this word is associated only with Kurena. If the word has no meaning, it could indicate, that Kurena, youngest of the group is still trying to find herself, she is not yet defined. 2. It's related with latin word cucullus, polish Kukułka, cuckoo bird. Which would be similar symbol, she was dropped here, not exactly fitting with the rest, still looking for her place. This could be enforced, by the fact many people are adding "mila" to name/surname to make it more Slavic sounding. 3. It's combination of different words, which are outside of my language scope.

bro the director of this anime has to be some god or someshit cuz this studio faithfully adapted the novels its insane

One more thing, Lena's first platoon headed by Pleiades lost 7 members in the last fight before she moved to Spearhead. The Pleiades is a cluster of 7+ stars with mainly 6-7 being visible, my mind was blown.

I noticed _All Quiet On The Western Front_ it did not register at first, but when I noticed. Having read the novel and taking great meaning in my view of the world and life from it, I thought. "There is no other more fitting book to be placed in this anime"

I’m reading the light novels, and they’ve done an amazing job keeping the story the same, there’s some small stuff that isn’t in the anime. 2 things they didn’t mention in the anime that’s in the light novel, that I wished they showed: - I wished they showed how other squadrons were. Lev (the maintenance man that works on the machines) mentions how lucky the others are to be in the same squad as Shin. Part of it is b/c of his Reaper thing. But also the Spearhead Squadron gets to have fun, play around, garden and scout out old cities. Other squadrons can’t do that b/c they have constant patrols they need to do so they don’t have time. Raiden when he first meets Shin is actually upset they don’t do patrols b/c he thinks Shin’s gonna get them all killed (he didn’t know about Shin’s ability yet.) Thanks to Shin’s ability they’re able to relax to some degree, b/c Shin knows when the Legion is around. - Lena’s dad actually saw Kurena’s parents get beat and killed excerpt below pg. 70 “Václav could still remember the sight of two children watching as the soldiers beat their parents to death, laughing all the while. He would never forget one of the girls, presumably the older sister, and her cold eyes, refusing to shed a single tear. Those eyes would never leave him. Those girls would probably never forgive the Alba or the Republic for as long as they lived.”

Shourei was the one who defended the last remaining 86 in episode 11 when we thought they all died. He eventually shut down from critical damage, but this is why we see the Federacy capture a Dinosauria in Season 2 episode 1.

Just finished watching 86 and now I am watching your videos! Thank you so much for making them! You're awesome!

There's actually another part where the opening changes! I'm not sure when the timestamp is but when it does the quick flashes of the characters in their juggernauts, Kurena and Anju are split facing each other. Between them is a third character. Until episode 4, that character is Kaie. After Kaie dies, its Daiya, and when Daiya dies it switches to Haruto. After Haruto dies, the space disappears and its just Anju and Kurena, because Haruto is the last one remaining outside of the main five. I don't know if you'll ever see this comment but I thought you should know!

I am torn about the bullying aspect of Annette's. I mean it cannot be that all men her age knew she was friends with a 86 10 years ago. On my rewatch I took it that she has so much pain about abandoning Shin that even seeing a boy her age makes her think about him.

Probably fun fact/attention to detail: the ammos used on these spider mechs (HEAT and APFSDS) was an actual ammo used by modern tanks like m1 abrams,leopard etc.

Just gonna add. I think Lena adopted the Annette thing where her coworkers put up pictures of her past suitors so "she won't forget". The spearhead does it as well (Theo's drawing of past handlers).

This anime is deep as fuck. I didn't expect it

I wasnt expecting much from this last week when i finally watched it but holy shit, it has some of the best moments! I was glad Anju was alive and survived their last recon mission, and feel even more sad about her back being sliced into the words that still haunt her today. hayami Saori really gave breath into Anju's character.

Wow! I've noticed a lot of symbolism in this anime but you just expanded it twice as fold. Thank you! There is so much you can take from this anime. Sometimes I think this anime is for those who care to see the world from a wider perspective. Not everyone will see these symbolisms if they don't have prior knowledge. But this video will. Thank you again! 🙏 About _Vladilena Milize_ I doubt it's a German name or surname. It's more of Slavic descent _Владилена Милизе._ Commonly used in Russian culture For her name. *Vlad* _(Влад)_ - translates as ruled, the victor. *-Mir* _(мир)_ - peace. She wholeheartedly wishes to bring _' The Ruling piece' to the world._ 🙏 For her surname. Milize _(милый)_ - translates to lovely, carrying. Which well goes with her personality.

Just finished the entire show. It was a masterpiece!

thank you for this video... its absolutely incredible... i've reached all the way to vol 8 and this vid brought tears to my eyes... people have yet to realise just how wonderful the anime and the LN is.. i beg for that day to come

Such an underrated masterpiece. Hope this video blows up.

part 2 spoilers ahead: if i remember correctly too, the moment when shin went crazy and lost any will to survive just fighting as hard as he could without a care of what happened to him, fido still wasnt back in the picture, so it could be interpreted that fido was part of what was holding shins sanity together, theres other factors for the reason he went nuts in that episode of course but losing fido coulda been what marked the start of his descent as fido is basically what kept shin grounded, allowed him to display some semblance of emotion. edit: oh god i hope youre caught up, sorry for spoiler

Just came up with this video. Need to clarify the Fido part a bit, that scene where Shin is holding a piece of metal, it's not Fido's. It's Rei's metal plate which was recovered when Shin found he's brother's juggernaut in that flash back scene. He kept it un-carved until finally shut down his brother for good, and then he's able to carve the plate with Rei's name. Probly too late for you to see the comment.

86 is well refined in everything totally deserved 1st rank

Also in the ending of episode 7 (or 8, I cant remember exactly) when it showed a bit of Shin's past with his brother, theres a book in the background called, "The skeleton knight" which Shourei later uses as his personal mark. My guess is that the book was probably Shinei's favorite or something.

Absolutely phenomenal video! There's so much that I didn't notice. Truly, 86 is a masterpiece of an anime adaptation. 10/10!

god I love this story so much T-T the adaptation was indeed incredible, the cinematic language are on another level and to top it off, the music. anime like this is so raree. the author is part of the team it helped with the show not tell and it very faithful to the novel. i hope it stays like this for the next parts.

Great analysis! Even having read the novel I didn't catch all of them. I can't wait to see how they continue to share this story in a new form

GLORY TO THE SPEARHEAD SQUADRON!!!

You are awesome! Thank you for putting in the time to find these insights and to make your video.

"from some unknown simp" LMAOOOOOO

Really awesome video! Lots of great details I've missed. Keep up the good work.

Great video, keep up the good work! I also love 86. you out did Giguk.

it's been a while since i last saw a great video like this, great job man

Bro, this video is *ABSOLUTELY* underrated. Can't believe it. You put in SO MUCH time, effort and the ATTENTION TO DETAIL in the analysis is just absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for making these videos, I truly and greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks for putting together this video. It has been many months since I watched S1 so I was having a hard time following what’s going on as I tried to start on S2. After watching your video I am almost tempted to rewatch S1 all over again. Once again great video and great job with the background music.

so much love for the effort you put in to this video and sharing your insights, great editing too

I love it!! Thank you for the review! I love everything about this anime! True masterpiece and has greats songs! Never had a anime which there are so many songs that are not only great, but very loopable!

This was really well done. Thank you.

isekai lore: got hit by a truck gets to be the most OP MF 86 lore:

For the last name of Lena being Milizé, I could be inspired by the last name of French Admiral Jean Armand of Maillé-Brézé which was born in one of France's most powerful and wealthy families

dude, this video is just too good, thank you

Thank you for sharing! So good!!

This is why 86 is the best anime in my opinion and kinda underrated just because of military genre. I love the details in the op so much, the last time I've seen that was Angel Beats.

Just stumble upon your video and i love it ! hopefully we can get a part 2 when season 2 end !

Thank You for this video

man. u r so underrated ilove this video.

Great vid! Definitely subbing. Can’t wait to see you’re breakdown on Season 2 if you plan on making it

Damn it. This was amazing and hurtful. I will be sharing this forever with new fan of 86. I missed most of what's you pointed out in this video, which is awesome, cause I just got a whole other chance to enjoy this story.

Excellent work dude.

7:03 Of all these details you showed, this is my favorite, I love how subtle and yet in plain sight it is

This anime is one hell of a masterpiece! And thank you for clrearing all these crucial hints that made sense.

I love your video man, seeing this made me see all the details and effort that the studio put into this 10/10 adaptation

Great video brother. Keep up the good work. 👍

Thank you very much for the video! You did a great job, you are great! Thanks to you, I felt the depth of anime that I myself could not understand! It really is a great anime!

Great video! Highly recommend reading the novel after watching season 2

The large world-story plots being hidden are what adds to my love of this Anime. The characters take center stage. And rightly so. It's all about them. But... it's amazing how there's still a complex world-story with tech, history, geography and more and it IS told, but it's practically hidden. I've been watching 86 vids and clips for over a year and not a single one ever mentions the ones I found to be insanely impactful, powerful and practically make me break down crying. When in S1 shin and lena are having a "nothing" convo and he says something no one cares about, about seeing towers in the city and Lena is just "oh, you must've been in district one if you could see them". THEN a WHOLE season later there is another little nothing scene that revelas those towers he saw weren't from San Magnolila, but from the Giadian Empire... and it's like a HUGE mind blowing moment. Like HUGE. I never hear anyone ever talking about the mind blowing stuff.

Great work!

Wow that last segment of the characters passing to the other side along with Avid made me cry all over again, even Fido too😭

Awesome video! I thought I caught most of them, but I wasn't even close.

absolutely stunning video! Subbed:)

a PUNCH, man, thank you SO much. Congrats! What a show!

Oh my god! wonderful review of 86.

Thanks for this video all is perfect

Since Vladimir is of Slavic origin, and assuming Milize follows the same theme, in several Slavic languages, Milý (pronounced the same as Milii), or similar versions of the word, could be translated as Nice or Kind

This video inspired me to start listening audiobook of “All Quitet on the Western Front”. Interesting story

At first I never understood the hype of 86, but when I rewatched it after watching your video, everything made sense and it had much more deeper meaning. No wonder the light novel was so much appreciated by the fans.

Les larmes a la fin de ta vidéo… 86 fait pleurer même en regardant des videos sur you tube…

Holy smokes, loved the video and also how the comments section here are lending a hand too!

Great video fam! subbed

amazing video dude!

You do the 86 fan base proud!

I really hope they animate the future volumes

Best anime ever seen, gives so much emotions, some of the details, are simply amazing

The last part hits me hard🥲🥲😭😭😭😭😭

Pog this is really needed to actually understand even more even though it's already understood but not fully this leave you feel satisfy and complete even though season 2 is out now.

Great observations!

What an amazing video!

i finished this show last year, i was left kinda confused but eventually gets the big line, but I didn't notice that I missed a bunch of things and its crazy that you actually notice them and how it makes so much sense!

12:22 "...from some unknown simp" You got me spitting my drink here

👏👏👏 great background music.

Tier S Video about 86 🔥🔥🔥

I didn't know anything about 86 when I first started watching it on Netflix. It's brilliant! I'm now recommending it to friends.

Opening sequence changes...I didn't notice it. This make me cry now.

Amazing video!!!!!!!!!!! watching this after start seeing season 2 and there is a lot of things that i didnt notice. Thank u

tbh if this ended with only this part and didnt release part 2 i wouldnt even be mad this is so beautiful and such a good story already.

im still waiting for season 2 😢ive never been so attatched to an anime before this is MY favourite

86 s1 is the most underrated anime ever

this video is so underrated

I just finished watching this. And I can say I didn’t realize all these little things! 😮

3:28 i watched this on a movie version instead of the book still makes me cry.

Amazing video I've been trying to figure out who all the deaths were in the opener but I guess the show doesn't really highlight every single death which is kinda sad. The size of the group at the beginning compared to the end is depressing but makes sense in the story.

13:05+ hits hard omg

What a beautiful show. I love it.

i am in a loss of words ..... 86 is just masterpiece

Great video! Some small advice. After watching this I went to your channel to see if you made one for season 2. While looking I noticed a lot of your Thumbnails are very busy. I'm no expert myself having only reached 3,500 subs at my peak years ago. But the main thing. This video is outstanding. You can see the difference in this thumbnail to the rest on your channel. You could definitely be making more stuff like this if you want to and see more success. Anyways that's all. Hopefully you end up doing a review for season 2!

First of: Very nice video! But one thing I want to mention: 2:11 The voice screaming in the background is right, thats how you pronunce Lena in german. Google translate also prounces it correct, but in the video you press the speaker on the english side, hence it pronouces it in english. If you press the speaker on the other side, it will prounce it in german. Anyhow, anyone should pronounce it, like he or she wants. The show does not specify a real life nationality after all.

Fido is shown to understand and possibly having emotion few times in the series...in the 10th eps, when Fido's memory started to show, we see when it first met Shin again (they were seperated before Fido got the new orange body)...we can see it "shed tears" when zooming at Shin...and the other time we saw Fido do so was in the last episode when Shin met Lena
