Well that explains the show's name and why everyone's rocking silver hair. Wonder what Spearhead's own silverheaded girl's story is.

These battles sorta look like a futuristic tower defense or RTS game, especially when pretty much all units on both sides have those insect legs.

if the undertaker can fight like that with a janky, damaged, and cheaply/poorly constructed 'juggernaut', imagine how he'd play using a new toy... i'm very impressed by the animation. switching forth from an inadequately funded airing adaptation which must pull strings and conserve effort to this wonderful mecha display only serves it more apparent. and "avid" comes from this anime?! i always thought it sounded like it belonged to a mecha anime (most of sawano hiroyuki's [nZk] project for that matter) but i never checked. awesome. that girl (kaie?) with the bread stuffed in her mouth letting the cat out of the bag was funny, even though i dislike humor bits in serious anime often. if people are going to perhaps die by the dozen, i'd rather not get whiplash.

The opening song it trash. The ending song is a clean 9/10. Perhaps this reflects my current feelings about this anime. It has potential, good moments, and an interesting premise. But.. weak moments keep piling up. This may be an average story at the end of the day. We will see.

So this is really some racism because of the looks of the people. Is this the kind of anime that will have her punished and end up in 86 as well? Curious how this will continue.

Still not feeling it for this show yet, nor the characters. The MC preaching to the students was the show just awkwardly bashing me over the head with "you must respect human rights!", and screaming "how dare you!" if I dare disagree with them. I actually kind of wanted the 86 to lose to the Legion, the 86 are just handling the fight too effortlessly, making the victory seem hallow, and taking away from the characters because they aren't even struggling at all. More scenes of the 86 just hanging out having dinner all happy isn't going to make me like them more. Also Undertaker shooting the cans like that doesn't make him look cool, it makes him look like a reckless jackass since his friends are standing right beside the cans, and could have been hit.

Anyways, something doesn't add up. If the war started 9 years ago, and that's when they un-citizen the 86, why do the students actually think the 86 are humanoid pigs? Sure propaganda might be strong, but surely the students would think "I remember seeing non-silver hair non-silver eye people back when I was kid!" Not nearly enough time would have passed for people to actually believe the 86 are humanoid pigs, those students would have to be like 12 years old to not remember 9 years ago. It would actually be much easier to lie by not acknowledging the existence of the 86 (ie. "they all died of a sickness, silver hairs were immune"), and pretending the mechs were just robots with A.I.s. Maybe there's more of twist coming regarding this? Otherwise kind of bad writing.

Also since the silver hair society are a bunch of liars, I'm guessing the Legion aren't autonomous, probably got people inside of the mechs also, and they're not going to be running out of batteries after 6 years. The 86 think they're going to released after the war is over in 2 years ("what are you going to do after the war?"), LOL...they probably better get ready for a bad surprise after the war.

The Legion are just rogue autonomous robots that already supposedly wiped out the Empire that manufactured them? Assuming that's true, what a hilarious way for Giad to fall. If the Legion are still attacking San Magnolia anyway, then they must still be following their programming to an extent.

I know it will be answered later but my first thought on this was:

- WHY 86rs don't rebel against these supernazi slaverists republic f***ers!?

- AT LEAST run away and let the Legion destroy that damn republic.

I think it's been alright so far. Haven't really been blown away yet.

Kind of wonder how true it is that Lena went to the battlefield. When would she have gone out there?

Also I feel like the Legion dying out in just two more years is most likely a lie right? Like you're telling me they all have exactly 50,000 hours of runtime before they just fall over and die? There's no way. I'm willing to bet the Legion at some point just found a way around that and "evolved" to keep going after those two years. I mean it wouldn't be the first time the news and history lied in this world. People seem to think 86 are failed pig hybrids or something along those lines.

Not too sure how to feel about Lena so far though. I've noticed that I tend to not like characters like her, but we'll see.
