I think it's a bit of a stretch to call some anecdotes on social media a "trend". it is rated very high

well, you see different things on the internet, after all there are people who like to be peed on, and there are people who dislike part 2, so nothing surprising.

A lot of those people don’t like part 2 because, 1. Lena was barely in it and that’s the main reason they watched it, 2. Part 2 was a lot more “Deeper meaning into the characters and how they felt about fighting, 3. Some people didn’t like Frederica, 4. The delay of last two episodes( Not A-1s fault), 5. People most likely wanted more action. Overall I enjoyed both parts a lot, each episode had me hyped weekly waiting, the delay only made me more hype.

I don't know about the trend you're talking about but I'll just spit my thoughts about the anime.

86 was never been good. Part 2 deceives you with the dual narrative that didn't portray realistic elements but simply so you could even sympathize more to the cast. World building is literally non existent and again screw the rest of the cast, let's keep centering Shin our cool self-insert and gave him the ability to hear GHOST in FUTURISTIC MECHANICAL setting, wtf. In the end, this is simply a drama of Shin and Mary Sue relationship but seasoned with false depiction of war.

Edited 3 September 2022 : To potential reader who was angered by my thoughts and have prepared fingers on keyboard while breathing heavily to insult me with all of your energy and vocab knowledge regarding every swear words, there is no need. I already had a long discussion here. Your welcome.

Part 2 is way better, the story finally developed into a much brighter narrative after all the depressing deaths in Part 1. Even if there were still deaths and the war still going on, I like the way this story was developed into. I am interested how they will keep me entertained in Season 2. I am not reading the LN but i will patiently wait for the anime.

part 2 is nice, at least we don't have to see children dying over and over again, plus the plot and action has always been top notch so I guess it's only some people and not everyone has similar taste so it's acceptable if they have reasons for it

Absolutely this is true. Also, Shin’s side of the story was better than Lena’s imo, though I also like Lena

Bro the 86 days waiting for the last 2 episodes and those episodes being worth the wait made part 2 a straight masterpiece for me. Nothing dropped in quality and the reunion was perfect and many LN readers said it did a far better adaption of that scene. Part 2 is definitely better than part 1 by miles and that’s simply because part 1 focused on the 86 squadrons lifestyles and not who they were as people besides shin but part 2 does a better job at this and personally I liked the show for focusing on the 86 and not Lena.

I have no idea as I don't even know "a lot of people" dislike part 2, it's just as good as part 1 if you ask me.

I dislike part 2 because first 9-10 episodes were too generic and boring compared to unique and interesting part 1. Last 2 episodes are masterpieces, but episodes that were before that ruined second part for me

I don’t dislike part 2, I just don’t enjoy 86 part 2 as much as other anime (such as Macross)~

What I like about 86 is what comes after the anime ends, from LN Volume 4 onwards.

EDIT: I guess everyone likes Lena and she barely appears in part 2.
In volume 4, the focus goes to Annette and her relationship with Shin.
Volume 5 and 6 are dark.
Volume 7 is romance. Dustin best character for that volume.
Volume 8 and 9 are dark. Focus is Theo, Shana, Shiden.
Volume 10 is about Shin’s past. Annette’s best line. “You are so pretty! You are going to snatch him away!”
My favourite character is Shiden, followed by Raiden. Not Shin nor Lena~

I personally preferred the second part.

The first part is focused in the development of Lena (at first she’s naive, she tried to help the 86, treat them like humans, but unconsciously she treated them as pigs (as Theo said, btw, that’s when I started to really appreciate 86). But at the end, she learned that she was helpless, that if she doesn’t take risks, she can’t change anything, that she has to be “cruel” or “merciless” in order to fight for her ideals —> birth of the bloodstained queen (the part with Annette)). There are more dramas, more victims, all this to make Lena strong. Of course, with her development, we can see the difference in the treatment of the spearhead squadron of Lena (they’re more respectful and at the end they even trusted her to catch up to them), which echoes at the very beginning, before Lena “join” the spearhead squadron (in the squadrons she leads, the 86 treated her like a hypocrite, with disdain, with disgust). It adapts essentially the first vol. There is also a réflexion on human nature in this part, which is interesting, and deepened in the LN.



The second part is more focused in the development of the other MC, shin, and the universe (we are focused on the main threat : the legion).
!! It adapts the second and the third vol (so much more contents than the first part) !! The pacing is of course faster than the first part’s.

Every 86 are broken internally, all that have is fight, death, and they can only rely on their pride (of fighting to the bitter end, unlike the “white pigs”), when the 5 were saved, they ultimately wanted to fight again… but Shin is actually the most broken one.
he’s a much deeper character than many people might think : when he was young, he lived peacefully. But when the war began, everything was stolen from him, including his family, his father and his mother, even his ability to wish… in a time when he couldn’t even comprehend the concept of death. He even lost the memory of his mother, his father, he couldn’t even remember the face of his brother. All he had left was the scar his brother left him before dying, the malediction/traumatism he left (like “all of this is your fault”, “if you haven’t been here”…). He felt guilty, even if all of this shit wasn’t his fault ofc, nothing pushed him to live. And then he began to hear the voice is his brother : he find a purpose (as a soldier though) to live, he had to put rei to rest, it was a duty he had to fulfil at all costs (that also explains how he survived, if he didn’t have a purpose like that, he would be dead now), cuz he wanted his brother (all he had left, without counting his pride) to pardon him (knowing he wasn’t the one to blame), and most importantly, he wanted to pardon him. But after destroying his brother, he lost his purpose to live, all he had left was his pride, and he himself thought that he was supposed to die at this moment. And then he was saved, and find a “fake purpose”, a pretext to keep fighting : helping frederica to destroy kiriya. But we can see gradually, during the second part, that he was going crazy, and even frederica noticed his weakness (hence the dialogue in the ep 18). Moreover, there is another element that shows that he is the most broken one : his duty to keep the memory of the dead comrades. This duty weighs him down during the second part, as we can see, everyone die before him, even his brother. In the second part, he felt extremely lonely. This part of him is more highlighted in the ep 17 (when he thought Lena was dead, this person was particular to him, since they shared the memory of Rei, Lena knows him not as a pig or garbage, but as a human, when shin couldn’t even remember his face. Plus, Lena helped him to destroy Rei. And most importantly, for the first time, he had someone he wanted to entrust something to…), he felt so lonely. And it continues until the ep 22-23, when he finally find a purpose to live (not as a soldier, but as a man), when he finally accepted to live, when he finally accepted his nickname (the reaper). Such a development is very interesting, shin is the opposite of classic MC, who already have a purpose, and just want to fulfil it.

Ofc, his development is not over yet, it’s quite the beginning. The story is getting better and better in the LN.

Now, there is the legion and how the war began. The functionality of the legion is more developed in the vol 2-3 (we also learn how shin was saved at the beginning), the anime gave us the minimum to understand, and had to cut a lot of details cuz that would have been too boring to explain… But all the stuff related to the legion (who created it ? How the empire was overthrown? Etc) is still unknown.

I think the main reason why some people preferred the first part is Lena (a stupid reason honestly). She hardly appears, although we can see how much she has grown in the ep 22. Moreover, there are a lot more actions in the first part, but people still don’t understand that 86 is not ONLY about mecas fighting (if it was the only thing, 86 could never be this good), there are a lot more aspects to analyse. 86 is most importantly a lot of characters developments (what will they do after the war, how will they going to become “normal”, not as soldiers, but as humans, etc).

"You sure have a bad taste of Anime."
Ad hominem, has nothing to do with my points. Also it's funny for you to insult my taste when I have 0.00 mean score and 0 anime favorites. Not once I've insulted people who liked 86 in my points, just shows how immature you are.

"This is Mecha and sci-fi man .try to understand. Go and F* with your logic."
It doesn't matter what genre it is, but the portrayal of it's themes and does it has realistic approaches or not defines something to be good or not. I can fuck with my logic and you can fuck with your shit taste (literally look at your favorites, I'm not making this up), that's fine.

Instead of attacking me with baseless insults, why don't you try to debunk my points? Of course you can't and you will just attack me personally again either like "lmao ur so stupid this is just anime why take it seriously lol fk urself idiot". You are clearly a subhuman dumbo whose born from mommy's and daddy's failure hence why you can't comprehend what I'm talking about. Cry about it.

I like FMAB. I will answer your questions while still being relevant to 86 without spoiling anything from FMAB as possible.

For me even just one of the event from the whole story, Ishvalan War, manages to present war better than 86 when this is just a secondary from FMAB. What differs Ishvalan War from 86 is that how diverse the cast was written. 86 is centering Shin and Lena all the time, having useless side characters for their characterization and it was not even good. You could argue about Shin's morality as why did he killed his own friend with no feeling? Is he good or bad? Does he has human feelings? But it was not presented that way. When you were watching those scenes, the first thing that came into your mind is 'Wow Shin is so cool and bad ass." No one will question his morality because the narrative was presented that Shin is on the RIGHT SIDE. While in Ishvalan War, it gave depth to a lot of characters. We get to see the unparalleled motives of the antagonists and their ideology (Kimblee and Scar), what made Roy Mustang the side character have his major goal driven by revenge and how did he gain his power and why Riza also the side character have this dynamic with Roy etc I don't remember all. The narrative made you questions the rest of the cast morality.

Both Ishvalan War and 86 have RACISM, but you see the outcome FMAB manages to present richer themes and how it contributes to the overall story. When 86 has war as it's primary theme literally milks RACISM and creating a non existent world, basically "oh ye this San Magnolia is full of racist white pigs and this Giad is the good one just like Lena and let's add another 2 countries for god knows what the purpose." What is even the trigger of the war? Some country made a deadly terminator and then allowing our protagonist to hear LITERAL GHOST? I would understand if maybe Shin's headset was different as it can receive special electromagnetic waves and the ghost are advanced technological manifestation created by complex codes whatever use your creativity but here in 86 it doesn't explains why. Why was this terminator even exists at the first place? What's the purpose? Does Giad hates other countries or it tries to expand it's territory? Where did Giad get this technology and resources? We shall never know, because what matter the most is that Giad's leader is anti-racism unlike white pigs in San Magnolia who uses the 86. Is this about how 86 have nationalism? Then I can ask further what they are proud of because the anime didn't show us one single good thing from San Magnolia either the culture or education or economy or resources etc.

Of course in the end Lena saves Shin with TIDY CLEAN costume and HIGH HEELS in the MIDDLE OF WAR without knowing anything, wow so realistic. I thought the events before are just a build up for this moment because of how superficial and unrealistic they are.

Officers do have their own uniform (both for duty and for ceremonies) and you called those costume. Have you not seen military parades? Even in offices they do dress like that, albeit usually without the medals. Lena is rather a high-ranking - Colonel at the end of anime, so this is justified even further

Also, you are nitpicking too much. “Tidy costume”, should it be dirty for realism? And all the nonsense nitpicks you made that if I have to list it would be a whole doctorate thesis. What are you smoking? Can I have some?

You look for “realism” in fictions, perhaps you should stay with war documentaries to find your loads of “realism” you are looking for. People looking for realism in fictions are people who cannot distinguish fiction from real life and they cannot enjoy any piece of art in a true mean because you all are busy looking for your “realism” ideal, keep on “touching” themselves and feel good because are “the most stayed down to earth people”. I’ll tell you one better, you lots mind are high much more than El Chapo’s crew with their powder.

FMAB is not an almighty god too everyone, for you may be but not all. Benchmarking orher animes on one series subjects you to severe bias. If you want to benchmark with FMAB go watch it again and compare with itself, don’t that to the other anime

I like FMAB. I will answer your questions while still being relevant to 86 without spoiling anything from FMAB as possible.

For me even just one of the event from the whole story, Ishvalan War, manages to present war better than 86 when this is just a secondary from FMAB. What differs Ishvalan War from 86 is that how diverse the cast was written. 86 is centering Shin and Lena all the time, having useless side characters for their characterization and it was not even good. You could argue about Shin's morality as why did he killed his own friend with no feeling? Is he good or bad? Does he has human feelings? But it was not presented that way. When you were watching those scenes, the first thing that came into your mind is 'Wow Shin is so cool and bad ass." No one will question his morality because the narrative was presented that Shin is on the RIGHT SIDE. While in Ishvalan War, it gave depth to a lot of characters. We get to see the unparalleled motives of the antagonists and their ideology (Kimblee and Scar), what made Roy Mustang the side character have his major goal driven by revenge and how did he gain his power and why Riza also the side character have this dynamic with Roy etc I don't remember all. The narrative made you questions the rest of the cast morality.

Both Ishvalan War and 86 have RACISM, but you see the outcome FMAB manages to present richer themes and how it contributes to the overall story. When 86 has war as it's primary theme literally milks RACISM and creating a non existent world, basically "oh ye this San Magnolia is full of racist white pigs and this Giad is the good one just like Lena and let's add another 2 countries for god knows what the purpose." What is even the trigger of the war? Some country made a deadly terminator and then allowing our protagonist to hear LITERAL GHOST? I would understand if maybe Shin's headset was different as it can receive special electromagnetic waves and the ghost are advanced technological manifestation created by complex codes whatever use your creativity but here in 86 it doesn't explains why. Why was this terminator even exists at the first place? What's the purpose? Does Giad hates other countries or it tries to expand it's territory? Where did Giad get this technology and resources? We shall never know, because what matter the most is that Giad's leader is anti-racism unlike white pigs in San Magnolia who uses the 86. Is this about how 86 have nationalism? Then I can ask further what they are proud of because the anime didn't show us one single good thing from San Magnolia either the culture or education or economy or resources etc.

Of course in the end Lena saves Shin with TIDY CLEAN costume and HIGH HEELS in the MIDDLE OF WAR without knowing anything, wow so realistic. I thought the events before are just a build up for this moment because of how superficial and unrealistic they are.


Officers do have their own uniform (both for duty and for ceremonies) and you called those costume. Have you not seen military parades? Even in offices they do dress like that, albeit usually without the medals. Lena is rather a high-ranking - Colonel at the end of anime, so this is justified even further

Also, you are nitpicking too much. Tidy costume, should it be dirty for realism?. And you look for “realism” in fictions, perhaps you should stay with war documentaries to find your loads of “realism” you are looking for. People looking for realism in fictions are people who cannot distinguish fiction from real life and they cannot enjoy any piece of art in a true mean because you all are busy looking for your “realism” ideal, “touched” yourself and feel good because you “stayed down to earth” (which is not even the true)

FMAB is not an almighty god too everyone, for you may be but not all. Benchmarking orher animes on one series subjects you to severe bias. If you want to benchmark with FMAB go watch it again and compare with itself, don’t that to the other anime


I have to clarify that I'm not comparing the Ishvalan War from FMAB to 86 out of no where nor to show how godly FMAB is. I believe you have seen my conversation with the other guy, he asked me what anime did I like. I'm simply answering his question while still being relevant to 86 because this is an 86 thread as simple as that.

Regarding your first point, Have you seen a female military uniform with VERY SHORT skirt and high STOCKINGS? Because when you said that I instantly google them and I don't see them, lol. I instantly google female military uniform just in case I'm wrong but no, they didn't dress like that. You can insert a picture where any of them dressed like Lena though if you want, only if they exist. Sure, I'll let that pass since this is FICTION and I'm too crazy looking for realism but using HIGH HEELS on BATTLEGROUND is just plain stupid as how ineffective it is to walk or run, it's common sense. So now you understand that I'm not looking for the costume to be dirty, it's just dumb.

For your second paragraph, all I did was sharing my thoughts about a certain anime on a thread about certain anime. You only tried to debunk ONE of my many points (which I've debunked back) and then you wen't the the classic "dude this is just anime why u search for realism bohoho." It's a different case if I attack those of you who liked 86 then you are welcome to attack me personally, I'll take that. However in this case I didn't, so doesn't that just shows how immature you are? Also funnily enough, I could say backwards you did feel good and superior because you ATTACKED ME PERSONALLY by saying I can't distinguish fiction from real life and I didn't enjoy everything mindlessly, unlike you who knows the best how to ENJOY ART and gave everything 10 because it's an ENTERTAINMENT, how ironic.

You don't have any premises to take assumptions on me personally either is I'm too busy looking for realism bla bla bla, I don't write anything about myself nor my view about anime on my profile. Basically if you want to defend 86 or fighting my take to 86, then debunk my points or give me new insights, reach an amicable discussion. How is that even hard? Maybe for you it's easier to attack someone personally, but as you're profile said " life is already pretty harsh so why don't we loosen up whenever we could." Talking about anime critically isn't stressing out life, it's to gain enjoyment and if bonus to evoke good discussion. If you are going to say "I'm not talking to people like you who took everything seriously lol touch grass kid." then simply don't reply anymore. I'm not here to pick a fight.

Here’s a tip, loosen your tense mind for once, sit back and enjoy anime without asking so much questions. If anything tickles you just think “because it’s fiction” and let it slide. Trust me, your enjoyment of many thing would change. I don’t really know you irl but as far as I’m concern, you let small details bother you so much to the point it blinded you from seeing the whole picture.

I’m pretty sure most people like p2 more than p1, that said I’ve seen some people complain about most stupid shit like small irrelevant plot holes for example the fact that they have phones and don’t know if other countries still exist, honestly who gives a damn, it’s not real life.

As someone who’s favourite anime is 86 I enjoyed it as a whole and the only “major” complain is that Frederica is a loli, she had a good background story and character development but I hate lolis in general and don’t see why they are included in so many animes, like just make a normal character not a loli when the character doesn’t have to be a kid, I get they some people find them cute yada yada yada, but I’m just sick of them

Part 1 was better. Part 2 focused too much on the “meaning of fighting”. It was deeper for sure, but dragged that for too long. Could’ve finished earlier condensing the narrative.

@Aruchemist

Just some minor takes regarding your takes on 86.

Regarding your first point, Have you seen a female military uniform with VERY SHORT skirt and high STOCKINGS? Because when you said that I instantly google them and I don't see them, lol. I instantly google female military uniform just in case I'm wrong but no, they didn't dress like that.

Sure, I'll let that pass since this is FICTION and I'm too crazy looking for realism but using HIGH HEELS on BATTLEGROUND is just plain stupid as how ineffective it is to walk or run, it's common sense. So now you understand that I'm not looking for the costume to be dirty, it's just dumb.


Okay you have issues regarding Lena's outfit.
First of all, she is not in high heels on a battleground...
During the first 12 episodes she is not on the battleground in the first place., but in the HQ behind safe walls.
Secondly, she is a comissioned officer , not a non-comissioned officer, so obviously she will/can dress more elegantly than a foot soldier or someone that's actually fighting on the frontlines. Also, IDK what you googled but here is what I found:

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/3d/ef/d2/3defd23013fccf70acc8f5538e53df3a.jpg

Lena has a similar long-sleeved boot on the 22. episode of 86:

https://imgur.com/gfpJ4Sw

I can see shoes similar that Lena has all over the place. And they all wear skirts...
I'll give you that her skirt can be considered too short if we look at it with a hyper-realistic standard.

For me even just one of the event from the whole story, Ishvalan War, manages to present war better than 86 when this is just a secondary from FMAB. What differs Ishvalan War from 86 is that how diverse the cast was written. 86 is centering Shin and Lena all the time, having useless side characters for their characterization and it was not even good. You could argue about Shin's morality as why did he killed his own friend with no feeling? Is he good or bad? Does he has human feelings? But it was not presented that way.

The narrative made you questions the rest of the cast morality.


IDC about FMAB, so I'm going to look at your takes on 86. Regarding Shin, not a single person looked at him and said "wow he is so cool". More like "wow, how does he not just collapse with all that shit he has to go through".

Obviously Shin is on the right side regarding the war... since the other side is a genocidal AI. But if you watched the show and paid attention you could have seen that Shin is not always right and makes stupid mistakes that could easily kill him, and he has a LOT of arguments with his teammates where he is 100% in the wrong.

Also, it's quite unfair to compare a finished anime to a anime which only has 1 season that only adapts an ongoing LN first 3 volume where the LN has like 11. volume published already and it's till ongoing....

Both Ishvalan War and 86 have RACISM, but you see the outcome FMAB manages to present richer themes and how it contributes to the overall story. When 86 has war as it's primary theme literally milks RACISM and creating a non existent world, basically "oh ye this San Magnolia is full of racist white pigs and this Giad is the good one just like Lena and let's add another 2 countries for god knows what the purpose." What is even the trigger of the war? Some country made a deadly terminator and then allowing our protagonist to hear LITERAL GHOST? I would understand if maybe Shin's headset was different as it can receive special electromagnetic waves and the ghost are advanced technological manifestation created by complex codes whatever use your creativity but here in 86 it doesn't explains why. Why was this terminator even exists at the first place? What's the purpose? Does Giad hates other countries or it tries to expand it's territory? Where did Giad get this technology and resources? We shall never know, because what matter the most is that Giad's leader is anti-racism unlike white pigs in San Magnolia who uses the 86. Is this about how 86 have nationalism? Then I can ask further what they are proud of because the anime didn't show us one single good thing from San Magnolia either the culture or education or economy or resources etc.


WTDYM that it's a non-existent world. We had a world war where a country similarly deemed an entire race of people undesirable and committed a huge genocide. The show is heavily inspired by 2nd world war and San Magnolia consists of elements from an Axis and Ally country according to the author Asato Asato.
86 delves into racism quite deeply. It shows how interpersonal, individual, cultural, economical, and structural racism can affect people who are under it, and basically make it. Then the show goes on to how the victims are not free from racism ideology as well, since they are racist towards their aggressors too.

Literally, all your questions regarding Shin's power, the Legion and the countries are answered in the LN that the anime has not adapted yet. Once again you are being unfair to an anime that's not finished yet.
