Honest Review Of 86 Eighty Six 

86 ending in a nutshell: You meet your discord Girlfriend for the first time

Racism, politics, destroying all laws of cliche, and an apocalyptic world doomed by robots? Fuck yeah this anime is 10/10

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

86s cgi was amazing, but it stands no chance against the masterpiece that is ex-arms

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

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.

Read the LN and can confirm that Raiden is canonically referred to as Team Mom

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.

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.

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.

Shirou - people die when they are killed Shin - no they don't

86 is a great novel, a masterpiece, pure gold and underrated 😩

Best anime ever the charcters are amazing can't wait for season 2.😁

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.

dude A1 pictures are so good!

“This squadron has a lot of people… in fact, one could argue too many people to give screen time to…” “I don’t want to die.” TOO SOON

I loved this anime so much that I immediately bought the LN.

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

Fido such a good boy Really loved this anime, such a shame a lot of people went on calling it trash just because of the themes it tackles

Yes finally, you reviewed my favourite anime, great video lunar

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

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.

this anime deserved an Emmy nomination if they cared about anime or shows outside US

Wonderful review of an anime with no similarities to any real world parties

So I watched 86 Eighty-Six, it's one of the best mecha anime of 2021. Best ending for 86 Eighty-Six.

bro the soundtrack and the white haired waifu carried this anime for me lol

Finished volume 7 of the LN today. I love this story

I'm glad you reviewed 86 :D It's great, and Fido's the bestest boy

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.

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.

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!👀

Thank you for reviewing one of my favorite animes.

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

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.

This is easily my favorite anime and yet this is still easily one of my favorites yt vids

hi just came out of Iron Blooded Orphans and can't wait to hear you ROAST

For some reason the subaru dying joke got me, man.

It was a great series. Very moving and emotional.

Fido best character, change my mind Also nice review, keep it up!

My favorite anime of 2021 I'm happy see to that's it's getting reviewed.

Love this anime, clearly best girl is Fido but Lena is fine too I guess🤷🏼‍♂️ Nice vid brother

This guy never fails to make me laugh 😂

i just want to ask something that i dont really liked this anime so much then other had ... is it because i had watch storylines ,character like naruto??? and situation like aot?? plz tell me because people are very hyped up on this anime and i even didnt feel anything even in ending

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

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 :)

That one about the s squad was great

Banger.

* When countless Giadian people die fighting the imperial government to turn the country into a Federation and Lunar still calls them an Empire*

86 is so good I'm so glad u watched it, it's in my top 10 I love it so much

Dare you to do start doing all the Gundam Series

Day 3 of asking you to review Kara no kyoukai😶

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.

A modern masterpiece

my most fav anime in recent year

Could you review seraph of the end

8:26 Yep. That's my response to that line...

Hey Lunar, you do movies too right? I wanna hear what you think about Bubble

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

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

Can you do also the anime. Conception it's a pretty good you should try i8

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

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

yeah this was a good anime, mabye best of the year, just hope for a season 2

Erratum: Humans fighting against Skynet with mech cockroaches.

If you're into Mecha Anime. I recommend Gurren Lagann. Don't forget about the Movies too.

Dude that start with World War 2 had me rolling😭

After the fate series, when are you going to breeze through all the Isekai?

Rarely you get closure in an Anime ending

Bro i didn't get the notifications of thia video even though i have notifications bell on.

This analisys was great

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.

vivy fluorite eye's song pls REEE

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.

I agree with you that they should have died or at the very least Raiden should have

Do vivy next it's pretty good

The ending was good making up for darling in the Franxx's ending 10/10

Ghost stories next?

Season 1 is only the prologue. season 2 is the real shit

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

Magnolia is also an ice cream brand in the Philippines

Hey lunar you should do some of RWBY

8.6 ?! I think I have to watch 86

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

Ngl 86 was great but now we wait again and i like ur opinion g with darling in the franxx but good

Hi Bye, lol that’s something I say, I see someone I know and say hi and as we walk past I say bye, never stopped to talk :)

"The leader of the group, Shinei, can hear the robots because his bbrother killed him once" ..... yup

actually frieza didnt turn black in the movie, it was the latest manga release

86 is what darling in the franxx coulda possibly been if it didnt have too much fanservice/ecchi.

I loved this anime and all but I did not realise the girl was the emperor lol

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?

Sorry bro, but my favorite music is still Shinjis screams of agony while dying.

Raiden was riding Fido and his mech was on autopilot, that s how he survived.
