86はオンタイムでの放送に問題があった。 分割２クールの作品だったのあるけど、特に最初の方は話も暗いし、何と戦ってるのかもよく解らない。それで１週間待つわけで。 さらにその放送も総集編とか何回か挟んだりとテンポも悪かった。 極めつけは、最終回含む残り２話が放送できるレベルではないということで３ヶ月も延期された。この頃は確かアマプラの評価で☆３切ってたかも。 そして、みんな忘れかけた頃に放送された最後の２話が神がかってたから、手のひら替えしで評価されるに至った。

“The tears welled up in her eyes before she even knew it, but she restrained them with all her might. She didn’t want to look away because of her tears. She felt that if she looked again-if she so much as blinked-he would disappear again. So instead, she smiled from the bottom of her heart. Her expression was probably terribly awkward, but she couldn’t care less about that right now.” 86-EIGHTY-SIX, Vol. 3 Asato Asato and Shirabii

There should be a version where the lyrics of LiLaS ('ending song') written during the scene too. Basically this.

The reason this ending was so (soooooooooooooooooooooooooo) good isn't just because of the ending, it's because of the whole series nurtures the creation of that perfect final note.

This is because Volume 3 could have served as the series's ending if the novels hadn't sold well. Only two things would need to be changed: remove the voice commanding Kiriya, and make Kiriya the central controlling intelligence of the Legion so that his death shuts down the army. As a matter of fact, the magical girl spinoff AU story does exactly that by making the goal to kill Kiri since he's the "off switch" for the Legion.

Thank you for watching 86! i keep persuading people to watch this anime because people tend to skip it once learning its mech or not the usual shonen stuff but 86 is such a good show for me and one of the best out there.

ZERO HOUR GANGGG! this was such a journey, watching and feeling everything with you and everyone ❤

There is a lot visually in this episode that I absolutely love. When Lena visits her father's grave, with the jacket propped on the tombstone it looks for a moment as if she is speaking to her father's decapitated body. Also there is the stark contrast between the establishing shots of district 1 we see way back in episode 1 and district 1 in ruins we see this episode. The main street, the news bulletin, Lena's room. Also, her superior officer. On his desk is two photos, the first, staged obviously, him hanging out with some 86. Next to it his wife and son, both with their hair dyed so that he can look appropriately down with the colorata. His wife cleverly makes sure to keep her eyes closed ffor the photo so her real Allba status is not visible, the boy does not have this foresight though. The man saw the way the wind was blowing and decided to reinvent his image. Prudent but not very honest. We also see some familiar faces at the soup kitchen thingy, the three men complaining about being treated equal.... they are the guys we have so often seen drinking at headquarters. Lena and the 86 standing together at the end of the train tracks, Lena has finally caught up. Lena and Shin's hands lifting to meet, their hands' shadows for a brief moment read 86, beautiful detail.

When their hands were getting closer to each other and forming the number 86. I've watched that moment plenty of times and it still got me everytime. Thank you A-1 Pictures for such an amazing adaptation.

This is my favorite anime hands down

What a great show. The plot, the characters, the soundtrack - everything is perfect. It was fun to watch you react to 86, thank you Alana!

The build up from all the season towards Shin and Lena meeting was insane. One of the most perfectly crafted scenes in anime in my books. As usual i loved your reaction to this show Alana and i'm glad you enjoyed it. Now we wait for season 2!!

Glad I shared your exact same reaction to the last 5 minutes. Easily one of my favorite shows to come out recently

86 really has a special place in my heart if you couldn't tell by my pfp. I like military anime/media (was also in the military) so it really hits home in a lot of ways. Seeing them FINALLY meet had me tearing up with joy.

Hiroyuki Sawano’s masterpieces really frickin elevated an already superbly done anime. He deserves so much of the credit and he never fails! Everyone thanking A-1 but no one thanking Hiroyuki Sawano. THANK YOU!

I'm really happy to see you enjoyed 86 😭 Thanks for reacting to this amazing anime and I loved your videos! Now let's hope for another season

Thank you for watching "86"! We need all 86 fans to help us share this animation with the world! I'm really looking forward to the second season! From Japan

86/10 MASTERPIECE

when lena met them for the first time, she was unresponsive at first because she didnt believe that what her eyes were seeing were true, so with all her might, she tried not to close her eyes fearing they would disappear if she were to close them.

This anime instantly became my number 1 show Loved the reactions Lena is one of my favourite female characters!

One of the best finales I've ever seen in anime. Really glad you got to react to this show!

the way their hands form an 86 as they hold hands at the end is top tier direction

Hurrah! you made it to the perfect ending. What a wild ride and reaction series. So happy you got to watch this all the way through :D

Those final two episodes are perfect. Anime masterclass. Not since Your Lie in April have I cried so much during an anime season. So glad to see you enjoyed it! 👏👏

Wooooooooo! It's been awesome watching this with you, and everyone else. Can't wait to see what's next. ❤

This proves to show that this anime is well written and well directed. From the studio, the cast, to the music, everything is perfect!

this is one of the greatest episodes of anything. ever.

Bro I cried so much during this ep 😭Super underrated anime!

your so lucky to binge all this most of us had to wait months for the last 2 episodes and it was a long couple months let me tell you !

REALLY LOVE YOUR REACTION !!

One of my top all-time anime from start to, specially, finish. Youre not human if these last episodes didnt leave you dry. They were that beautiful.

in my life i never saw a better ending than this... i saw this ending at least 20 time and still manage to makes me cry each time. i crave for anime who could make me feel like this... and the music at the end... just listening to the song it's enough to makes me cry sometime.

Finally we have reached the end with Alana and this is what I have been waiting for since you started this series. 86 is my current no 1 anime series since I finished it 2 years ago. No other series can top this one. The writing is so good, the characters are so likeable and the world lore is interesting af. I don't plan to read the LN anytime soon (at least till the end of this year) bcs I am waiting for that season 2 announcement. With how busy these animators are with Nier, I can't predict how much time we need until season 2 is announced. But, there's still hope though.

Loved watching your reactions❤

I do thank you for reacting to this series! Back when it released, I watched the first couple of episodes. I was not in an emotionally stable condition when it released, and this anime at that time was one of the things I shoud not have watched given my circumstances. It was too much for me to handle so I ended up dropping it. Still, there were lingering feelings that made me still want to watch it, but I got afraid that I'd not be able to handle it. I watched the whole thing through your POV and then went ahead and watched it on my own, almost 3 years later after its release. With a now more stable condition, I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. I'm in peace now that I was able to experience this anime, and give it a second chance. So once again thank you! Looking forward for more possible seasons! (The anime adapted 3 volumes out of the 12 volumes from the novel )

the hardest i've ever cried was watching these last two episodes for the first time. undeniable peak

One of the best anime i ever saw....what an amzing story bline, fight scene, animations.... Everything was perfect.....This is one hell of an underrated masterpiece...and yeah theirs heart warming reunion was just...loved this series

Sangatsu no Lion pleasee 😊

Actually, the last song played (LiLaS) during the scene where they finally meet... it's lyric somehow translate into messages akin to a wedding (Honestly, it is a good wedding song ngl). There are some speculation on the meaning since the composer Sawano Hiroyuki likes to make coded titles for his compositions. Basically, one of the meaning of the title LiLaS is Lena is Looking at Shin. It also has many implication and meaning behind it. You will be stoked to watch a YT video breaking down special scenes, callbacks, and visualization in the show. It only means this series was given much love and care that it delivered more than expected. One of the few anime series that I had a hard time moving on to... hope they continue the light novel (and with the same quality too!). Thank you for watching this series and I am glad that you enjoyed such a masterpiece!

Congratulations on clearing 86. It was so painful that I thought I should stop watching it, but I'm really glad that Alana got to see the part I wanted her to see the most. It's one of the best anime of all time for me because it has such a beautiful happy ending. The more you watch this anime, the more you notice it, and it's an anime that keeps getting better each time. There are two things I noticed recently. Next, in the emotional encounter scene, even the poker-faced Shin has shaking eyes and looks like he's about to cry, and not only Shin, but Raiden, Theo, Ange, and Crenna all have their eyes shaking. Then Lena said, "Shin..." Five portraits of Lena and her tears will fly into the sky along with Lena's tears. This scene contrasts with the scene in episode 9 where the five leave Block 86. In episode 9, Lena's tears fall to the ground and a white bird flies into the sky, signifying Lena and the five's farewell. Also, I think the white bird in episode 9 represents the five people being released from 86, and the caricature in episode 23 represents the liberation from chasing the five people. I may be reading too much into this, but this work is becoming more and more of a divine anime. It's a masterpiece.

The whole anime was great from start to finish however the last 8 episodes have to be one of the best stretches of episodes that I had to pleasure of watching. That final ost, was perfect.

I cried for three days after that last episode.

I probably watched 100x the last 2 eps already but it doesnt fail to wet my eyes, its just incredible

I’ve been reloading my YT Recs page just for this

Some funny stuff that occurred between the ending of this volume and the beginning of the next volume (not giant spoilers just silly things) The mech recorded the conversation between shin and Lena, and played it during an assembly about the republic. Shin was very, VERY embarrassed. Lena kept asking if the generals if they knew about the spearhead squadron. They played dumb bc it was funny to watch them.

86 is just the best. Perfect show.

As for possible future seasons, the anime has only covered the first 3 volumes of the light novel. There are currently 12 volumes out, with a 13th scheduled for January, so there's a TON more if they choose to continue the anime! (please A-1 Pictures!🙏🥺)
