OMG OMG!!! (>v<) what a masterpiece !! I became a 1000% complete fan-girl by the end of it <3 <3
and i was literally the luckiest while watching it! i randomly picked part 1 yesterday cause it has been sitting in my PTW since forever, not knowing that the finale episode would air today !! it was one of the most beautiful coincidences in my anime binge-watching journey hehehe~~ I'm so happy i got to watch it without all the waiting ^_^ .
BUT now what am i supposed to do with my life after finishing it TT.TT please let there be a season 2 in the near future ~~


Maybe try clannad the after story. You don't know how emotional that story gets ahead. Clannad s1 was just like a story build up for the characters. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

This beautiful series has finally come to an end (for now), and there's so much I want to put into words about my love for it as a whole especially this episode, but I don't think I'll be able to find the proper words anytime soon.

While this last episode wasn't spectacular by itself, it was a really great way to wrap up the season, with quality directing and sequencing as per usual via the madman Toshimasa Ishii. The mixture of light comedy, heartfelt scenes, and buildup for future plot developments really helped to bring it all together for one final curtain call. While I didn't cry this time around, I couldn't help but continually smile with fulfillment. As I expected, this covered the Vol 1 & 3 epilogues along with some anime original content and setup for Vol 4 (the 86 Strike Package). That wholesome group picture of the gang at the end really topped it all off.

It's really great to know that both Asato the author and the staff were both working together to make the adaptation possible, which is very rare nowadays in the anime industry. I hope s2 comes one day soon, as there's still plenty of story to tell from here on out. This and MT have really set the new standard of LN adaptations in the recent years imho.

This has been the longest wait for the best thing.
I did not feel such an emotional rolecoaster in such a long time.
It has got to be the best anime of 2021 or 2022 just because of the end.
I just can's describe my feelings in words.
It's just 11/10

I feel bad for not enjoying the whole story because I really DO see the potential and the quality of it.

The scenes shown from Fido's POV were very nice and enjoyable, what a wholesome compilation. It was heartwarming

The last scene was actually amazing, not gonna lie. Lena finally met Shin and the gang, and they finally met their Handler One. MY HEART... It feels like this was the peak of the whole show. Brb I'm about to raise my score.

See you all in the next season!

So the Legion destroyed the Republic, off-screen!?! This is underwhelming in so many ways, because the detailed downfall of the Republic could've been such an interesting setting for a good story.

I never write in discussions but WOW THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD EPISODE. I don't even know what to do with myself I have so many emotions. It's been a long ride and I need a season 2 announcement now. Wow this whole show has been such a journey and I feel so honored to have witnessed it since episode 1, I was anime-only this whole season but I think it's time for me to pick up the light novel and catch up. It might be the immediate post-finale episode hype but this show is a solid 10/10 for me right now.

Just a beautiful conclusion to such a phenomenal show!!

After 1 entire hour of literally holding back my tears and after crying a lot with Shin and Lena meeting up, I can finally pick up my phone and write this.

What a journey has been watching 86, it will be one of my favorite shows ever and I do hope, I can see more of this in the future.

Asato Asato, thank your from the bottom of my heart for creating this piece of art. Toshimasa Ishii, you are a genius, your direction and appreciation to 86 is beyond my compensation. To everyone else involved in this, thank you for your hard work, 86 would be nothing without everyone of you.

86 till the end.

I will keep it short and nice .
Thank you 86 Director Toshimasa Ishii for giving us this beautiful adaptation of LN .
I just literally cried and I had goosebumps till the end it was so amazing that it’s worth waiting this long .
I just want A-1 pictures to more advertise 86 and give it their top priority.
Cause these first two part were considered as the weakest volume of the LN story the anime still made it feel like it’s a 10/10. The upcoming adaptation of further volumes are going to be more awesome.
Thanks again 86 team for giving beautiful ost and consistent animation quality throughout the end .

This show is so good it’s insane. I really want another season as soon as we can but at the same time I want them to take their time with it. There’s a special anniversary event on April 10th, and a lot of people agree that if they were to make a Season 2 announcement, it’d be at that event.

This was great. But still a big letdown in comparison to the first half. Not only Frederica is annoying 75% of the time, we also got more boring anime tropes that was well hidden back in the part 1, a more linear plot and too many fantasy shit with superpowers and clans (which was also part of the first half but didn't felt so stupid).

Nevertheless, a well deserved 9 with part1 being rated a 10. This is definitely one of the best ln adaptations and I hope we'll get a new season.

What a meeting!
One of the things I love about 86 anime is the end of its episodes, and this was the best of them. I watched it 10 times without realizing it, imagine!
This meeting will remain one of the best meetings I have seen in Japanese anime!

Look at this picture!

A fitting but pretty uneventful finale to the season.

It was sweet for Lena to re-unite with the 86 this time - contrast to last season.

They would hold off until the final 2 minutes of the anime for them to meet for the first time. If there's no season 2, I will definitely pick up the light novels. Despite all the setbacks, I loved this anime.

This is just a perfect way to end it for now, everything I ever wanted to happen in the Anime, happened. I thought it would need a 2nd/3rd season for them to meet, but Im happy. The ending was just perfect, to finish something off that feels like a prologue (as in Vinland Saga maybe?). I really want more, especially now that they are all together. 10/10 Episode and Anime

Very emotional reunion with all the 86 and Lena for the finale, that was a great way to conclude it, I don't know if it will continue with a 3rd season but anyway it was really good overall, 8/10, too bad it had so many delays but it doesn't really matter the show's quality was impressive overall

It's a pretty amazing way to end the series and damn I'm glad lena and shin finally meet each other for the first time I thought I might need to wait for s3 or s2? Whatever it is

Also I was a bit against it at first when they just suddenly bring back fido again cause the Last ep of s1 was pretty insane and thought bringing back fido isn't exactly a good idea and unnecessary since at first I thought fido is not really gonna boost any improvement of the series that's what I thought back then but now the ending scene change my mind maybe it was actually necessary to bring fido back just for like every ending scene of every new season of 86 where they just show the memories of the 86 squadron its honestly quite a nice touch to the series

Now I just need to wait for s3 or s2?

All and all this season of 86 deserves 9 out of 10
