What the fck is going on with Shin lol, something really did happen to him at the end of PT 1 in the last seasons ep huh.
Anyways I kid you not I thought I was hearing Arcueid from Tsukihime when Lena first talked again, its been a good like 3 eps or something? so I forgot whom was whom.

I am not fcking around when I say 86 is probably by far THE BEST anime LN adaptation since like.. monogatari, like mother fcker A-1 is giving this franchise so much love that its scary.
The Shin being crazy while fighting scene gave me goosebumps and the last part with Lena with that BGM was nothing short of amazing.
I cannot wait for whats in store in the next episode.

Such a perfect episode.

The Nordlicht Squadron seems to have taken the Federacy a long way through this war, who knows where they would be without them. Even the amount of Legion wasn't accurately surmised by the analysis from the military.

Shinei seems to have lost himself in the fighting, becoming almost like Kiri (?) Hopes they address this soon.

Interesting ending, did Kiri shoot a bombshell at them? Ahh, I can't wait to see what happens.

I still can't get over how annoying Frederica's character is. Honestly why do all these serious dark gritty anime have these annoying kids in them that take you out of the immersive world?
Why do you let it bother to you. If you're mature enough, you know how to deal with it. Kids act like kids, that's it.


Maybe I shouldn't care but why bother putting omniscient children into your anime? This trope has been done hundreds of times and it's just gotten so clliche and boring. My problem is that she is a glorified familiar... it's quite explicitly stated in the show.

I think what the author was trying to go for is to put Shin in a brother-sibling dynamic which was a key point in his character development from S1 with Rei. It also plays right into the narrative between him and Eugene/Nina. Recall his conversations with Eugene and how he said multiple times "must be hard being a big brother". There's a lot more context from that line than what it looks like and we can go even deeper on how crucial Frederica's role of being Shin's "little sister" is. S2 is a parallel to S1 after all.

As for the ESP then it's also a way to expand and deepen the story since it pretty much implies only those of noble blood can have this ability. It's also one reason why the nobility in this world are strict with keeping their blood pure... though that doesn't excuse the Albas from their xenophobia.

That Cliffhanger and the next episode title though, it certainly looks ominous and seems like carrying the huge death flag. General was right, no one should fight for those bunch of trash people who do nothing but complaining and still discriminate those who are fighting sacrificing their for the sake of those worthless garbage. It was good to see ice queen back in the action with the determination of fighting and not giving up protecting what she wants.

This was an awesome episode!! Big round of applause to the animators cause every second of the action sequences were awesome to watch. I feel like we still haven't peeked yet even though we just did get an action pact episode. I loved the last act of the episode and I know we're gonna be in for a treat the next few episodes. I do have one critique and it's a bit of a knit pick. I don't like the sound design for the new juggernauts, I find it sounds too laser like. The old juggernauts sounded like they packed more of a punch, every shot felt like a tank shell being fired. I find the sound design for the new juggernauts don't have that same oumf. Honestly that's my only critique to an otherwise flawless episode.

Episodes like these are the main reason I may start reading the light novel. After a very slow episode last week, this one had the best moments from the season.

Finally, Vladilena returns although just for some minutes. It was very refreshing to see so many 86s squadrons all around just for Lena. Can't wait for next week.

Poor Lena has to take command alone to try saving everyones ass.
Her uncle is an idiot though, whats his deal in all that, he only gets angry at people that make sense, unlike his beloved military. Glad to see San Magnolia at it's end.

I kinda liked that she contacted all 86 at once, but I don't know she will convince anyone. What is in for 86, absolutely nothing. At least Lena has authority to disable the minefield, however that was possible at her rank.

The action was great, showing just how superior the Reinsleif weapon is in the field, the legion was literally moved down like a pile of scrapmetal. I really liked the one with the missile launcher, finally something efficient, not the silly 1on1.

Shin has a funny way to to deal with his PTS fast forward and kill em all.

Legion is a sore loser for firing a railgun from far away, I hope no one is hurt too bad.

Almost thought Lena was still not going to appear. Intense episode, but my favorite scene would be the conversation Lena had with her uncle. So that family seems to actually share similar views, but ends up acting on it differently.

Impeccable episode.

Watching parts 1 and 2 of eight-six this week, and each episode has been leaving me breathless. The perfect cut-out scenes have been flowing so smoothly, and this episode was no exception.

That final scene was a jumpscare and a cliffhanger at the same time.

Just masterful. treatment. of. everything. Wow. I feel like I just watched part 1 of "86: The Movie"

Nutty Shin, Psychic/Weirdly Mature Frederica, after teases only the writers cash in on that tension and Lena makes her grand re-entrance and kills it, her uncle kills it with that half face turn and "an adults job is to protect children until their naive dreams break upon reality" edge-king moment - that final short scene I almost missed after the credits... (again! why they do this?). Unstoppable.

If anyone still needed convincing, this episode would be the point of no return. Chills and several rewinds after the first watch, stone cold BANGER!!!

I thinks some of you missed what lena said "The Railgun/Kiri" and the after credits scene when there's a flash of light that's his fire power.

What we saw in fredirica when she used her powers was the san magnolia completely fucked by Kiri and the legions, we only saw a glimps of The Railgun/Kiri probably saving it for the next episode definitely.

When we transition to Lena's pov that was before what we saw in fredirica's eyes that's why Kiri is now attacking the Federacy of Giad because his already done with San Magnolia.

Woah that first sequence when the Legion had a voice of their own before marching all-attack. Thats completely off-guard me.

At last, the mecha action packed one. Full team, and ofc Shin fully showed em all his talent kicking every Legion ass on sight. Not to mention everyone had their own portion of actions too, which mean pretty much appreciated. The surprising face, tho. Perfect. Now i am feeling bad taking this one too early honestly. Because idk what shall i do while waiting the next episode which like waiting forever.

Meanwhile on the other side of the battlefield, finally Lena got another screen time, and looks like she already prepare for the worst case ever. But, his uncle suddenly held her off to got the last conversation ever between them, perhaps. After all, he's really had his own ulterior motive.

Lena connected and handling all the processors, and trying to manage the grand defenses inside the Gran Mur. Will she be alright, and what about Shin and the gang? Ofc its end with the damn cliffhanger.

*Breath in, breath out*. Lets see next....

Uh did you miss what happened in part 1? Judging by your post it looks like it flew way over your head xD. Pretty sure from her experience she knows how the battlefield works.

I guess taking charge and leading the defense of the Republic for the fight to survive is "naive" of her. So it's better for her to just accept her fate and not fight to bitter the end? The logic you have, bravo.

I swear half of the budget of 86 goes to Lena walking intensely lmao.

But seriously great episode, Frederica and Shin’s scene in the rain was phenomenal, the OST was perfect and brought that moment to life better than I could’ve asked.

As if that weren’t awesome enough, the Lena half of the episode was stellar too. Every single scene is just adapted with such love and passion, can’t thank A-1 enough for this.

Yeah I mean even if this episode could not capture your attention, then sticking to it I guess it would be just a waste of your time. Tbh I would tell you to just watch it, and maybe the final fight would change your mind about it, but I seriously doubt it would.
