| Boring nonsense just like episode 1. |
| i guess the reason they did not made autonomous killer drones is because the killer robots might kill them too eh so they instead resort to using racism and make none whites become cannon fodders lol this might become a controversial anime since White Guilt is strong |
| The first part looks like they were dealing with a shortage spare parts supplies from the repair section of 86, that needed to use a former machine as the substitute. I hope its not become the big problem later on. Okay, in short another mecha fight, another nice introduction to the characterization aspect. The Legion drone names also got introduced. Undertaker seems pretty skillful and its really dedicated to his own pride name, the Undertaker. Even he could shut down the Handler one advice almost in an instant. Good thing Lena still had the motivation to keep goin on as the Handler of them. The classroom scene as the dump info exposition alternative looked a bit out of place. But certainly give a useful slot to filled the gap. Also, the Lena uniform button part where Lena talked about their connection also interesting. Its may hint something until Lena come in to scold the Undertaker directly around the unit. Yes its sounds a pretty good connection, right? I wonder if the certain changes of her room also related to her mentality while handling them. Its pretty interesting too. In the end, the balance between the mecha fight part and the story telling lines seems alright enough to keep me motivate continuing these series. Nice job! |

| Loved this episode the fight was really well done,Undertaker is a really unique soldier with outstanding capabilities. I was kinda bummed when the teacher was talking about their history I wonder if those Legions have human pilots if not why the don't build new ones instead. |
| The message is way too on the nose. Everything is being spelled out. That's not good. |
| Kinda hoping the unavoidable real life comparisons to historical events like WWII will be handled properly in this story. I hope the systemic racism and prejudice against the 86 will be thorougly explored. Lena is naive and can't put herself in the shoes of the 86, but she wants to get to know them and be friendly with them. It's very normal that the 86 is not interested in doing that and are distrustful, seeing how the whole republic treats them. |
| After 2 episodes the 86 show promises to be an interesting ride. Too bad about the few number of episodes though. The setting of the world is still full of questions at this point, it's good when everything is told bit by bit, only the curiosity is a lot higher that way. It is a bit odd to strip human rights from the people with a different haircolor As frontline fighters 86 should have better equipment. Even when The Republic of San Magnolia can't make their own drones they should be able to improve their walking tanks and supply spare parts. from what I understood 86 is the last line of defense? Not? It should be in the republics interest to have them around in good shape |

| Yeah these are slave camps, no ifs ands or buts. This team should just turn around and destroy San Magnolia. I think Lena is due for a woefully rude awakening, her naivete is going to crush her I think. There's no way the gov't just let's them become "human" again. |

| The CGI and the pacing are good probably AOTS |

JanPri said: How come the war started just *9* years ago and after just 9 years they've started to believe everybody who doesn't have silver hair is "a humanoid pig that failed to evolve"??? I would understand if it was 90 years ago, but 9 years ago? I just don't get it. Didn't anybody have any contact with these "humanoid pigs" in the past 10 years? Before the war started? Didn't they see and communicate with them like with normal humans??? Very good point. Seems incredibly ridiculous to me currently. Perhaps later on in the story there will be something that explains the suddenness of treating non-silver haired people as dirt. |
| That Undertaker guy is comfortable with her now I see. Would like to see him go back to the Republic after a year |
| I like anime so far. Lena doesn't like discrimination but I wonder what's going to happen if the Legion stop in two years. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Vladinlena's speech to tell the truth about the army's condition and the discrimination was really great, I love this character |
 |
| Some changes from novel to tell audience exposition, pretty interesting. And it's might be first anime i actually don't mind 3D, i think it's amazing fit for this anime. So far so good, and it looks it's hit so far so here i go for more. |

| Undertaker really lives up to his reputation. The classroom scene felt a little too cheesy. |
 |
| Very intense and very interesting :O And I just realized that Saori Hayami is in the cast! Great! :D |
| A lot of mecha. I like mecha |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| GORGEOUS 3DCGI for the Spearhead vs Legion battles, what a treat to see Shin with his up-close and personal style of battle There we have it folks, the racism ride starts now |
| Calmer one after a very wild intro. Looks like Lena is adjusting well into being the Spearhead's Handler, as much as the squadron gives no fucks about her. And if I'm in them shoes, I would also be annoyed by how much Lena is actually talking with the 86ers. The mark of disgust from both sides are just too evident for me to brush off. Well for months I've been familiar with the anime's OP & ED, and now that I've watched the anime, I now know the meaning of the things they show...and now I'm sad. |
 |
| As we take a closer look at the combat the animation looks nice it isn't that hard to understand and the pacing is hefty Lena is a bold one she isn't afraid of anyone even when it comes to talking back at her seniors she isn't afraid to let out the truth She's really open for communications but the conversations are still kind of forced but they'll get there. |

| Shitty episode at best. Mr. Undertaker tells to add the dead guy's armor to repair his own and the other guys act with surprise when he does this. Douchebag's been working 5 years, shouldn't u be used to this? Also, when asked why he is ok with using the parts of a dead comrade, he just points to his undertaker sign like he is braggin. douchebag has no respect for dead and his rock collection is just 4 show. not to mention the bitch general vladilena who acts like she is in a romcom. She keeps spouting that the 86 are supposed to be treated as humans to a bunch of students without hoping for any change. To make matters worse, she keeps perpetuating the same system she is decrying by using the same 86 as her lapdogs to do her bidding. Spouting such bs in the classroom will ensure that the generals at best will stop fighting and deprive her nation of fire power. Only reason this bitch keeps spouting such claims is because she is protected from up top by Jerome. Otherwise she is no different from the rest of em and would be shutting her fucking mouth like the rest of em. If she wants to enlighten the generals, she should do with a purpose in mind, not just naively do it because she thinks it is right. Not to mention her sheer incompetance at being a general. She can't adjust her plans, aka her gathering point when updated with the new info that the troops are ready and recites the location like she has rote memorised this stuff. She even keeps communicating with the troops without knowing she is compromising their location. Not to mention she has the fucking hypocrisy to scold the troops(who are giving their lives day and night for protecting u and ur dumbass nation) for not writing good reports that she has not the fucking sense to read in the first place as she so admits before. And she brags to her friend that she is on a cordial relationship with her troops but doesn't know the basic fact that they aren't educated well. I'd rather prefer General Esdeath from AgK over this dumbass. And they explain the motivations in the second episode instead of the first episode smh. And even then the Empire's philosophy that the war will end in 2 years because of the warranty period of the automations expiring is sus af. Akito the Exiled is leagues better than this. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Racism. Is this ww2 Germany with high tech? Lena is a good person to see the 86 people as humans and try to change others' minds. Undertaker is the cool guy in the squad. The machine battle is a tank battle on steroids. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| It's really too childish for what the anime is about. Undertaker is Levi with Kirito's overpowered abilities. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Shin is a beast when he is on the battlefield! |
| CGI fight scene was Amazing!! The OST and ED by Sawano was Top Tier as always. Bro, what do you mean by Humanoid Pig that failed to evolve? WTF Lmao they literally Racist White People. |
 |
| Vladilena speaking the truth to the students was nice to see. As for Undertaker and the rest of the 86 hopefully they can be equal one day with the rest of the Republic's citizens |
| Lit Opening by Hitorie.... Yeahh!!! 1st battle for Lena as the handler-one and Spearhead Squadron lead by none other than the Undertaker himself, Shin The battle was really lit, CGI was wonderful mixed with great BGM by Mighty Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto, loved every inch of their fighting scenes against legion. Spearhead Squadron show their might in the battle and finally repelled the legion On the other side Lena being a guest lecturer in some of military class, trying to explained the truth behind 86th people who actually operate the Juggernaut and zero casualties that they told were a lie. Still that explanation didn't really help too much as most of the alba's including the lecturer itself against it and she got accused of trying to spread false information. After telling her complaints with her friend that working in lab, Annette finally Lena tried to speak the whole Spearhead Squadron through Para-raid. Squad reaction was really surprised against Lena, 1st alba that tried to get along and she ask lotsa things and what they wanna do in the future. Still it seems no exact trust that had been built yet. And The ED was breathtaking, Mighty Sawano did it again with Mizuki beautiful vocal in "AVID". |

| Spearhead is one hell of a scary unit to face, I wonder how much better they could be if they had more modern machines instead of 'junk'. |
 |
| Informative episode. Nice action too. That's CGI right? Could hardly tell. |
 |
| dude she's totally gonna get her ass kicked right off to 86 for that one |
 |
| How come Anju is in 86? She's silver haired right? nvm lol. there's a scene at night where she looks silver haired but looks like it's light purple |
