For real tho, nickname "Bloody Regina" sounds so silly , the only thing i can think of after hearing that is Okabe from Steins Gate calling Makise something similar

Anime watcher here, and Im curious about that too

I cant fault the series for making her seem like a bag of ideals and strategies. Thats to be expected with the setting, and, thinking about it, that strikes me as a major flaw in the series as a whole. Because even if there would be tangible peace later into the story, these characters never knew peace to begin with so I feel that logically they wont ever really let their guard down and actually soften up. With what the audience has experienced from the story, I would think it wouldn’t feel real to them either.

Basically, its only been war but no peace

What's so likeable about Vladilena as a character ? Because she is sympathetic to the 86 or something else ? Or just because she's a girl so people like her as their waifu ? She didn't even have that much screentime in the anime . Just running like Reze from Tokyo Ghoul .

Tbh for me she's mostly fanservice. She IS really important character and maybe that's why people love her so much. But I think she is a bit shallow as a character, I wish she would develop more. And I also wish Anette had more screen time, she's so much more complex than Lena, she thinks like a human and not like those real life celebrities and influencers that fly to Africa to toss candy at children and post it on the internet.
Lena is a princess and nepo-baby. Anette, while she's also a nepo-baby, lived through some horrors of her own.

And also - Anju would look so much better on daikamakura, gimme that! xD
(yep, i'm a total fangirl with the biggest girl-crush)

anette - stood on the sidelines two times while her "close friend" got sent off the camps.

lena - literally lost her dad on the field and almost died herself. lived on the battlefield for a significant amount of time. risks her life using the para-raid everyday to fight for her beliefs.

Kalevatar said:

Oi, mate, you can disagree with me, but please don't call me a guy, i'm pretty sure i'm a woman.

Tbh it's probably different experiences in our lives. I can relate to Anette more and she's more human.
If I wanted to argue, I would tell you that Lena is responsible for all the deaths in Spearhead Squadron, but this anime is not simple enough for us to argue like that.

Bloody vagina lmao

Kalevatar said:
But I will add one tuning - i'm just getting started with LN, maybe that's where Lena is portrayed as human-like, not as a perfect imaginary girlfriend.

IMHO

1) LNs for 86 are well worth reading … Lena is a complex and interesting character … great leader and strategist

2) Shin and she really enjoy each others company … soul mates

DeMarcK said:
Read the LN. And also, while all the others are just either trashing on the non-Alba people, or turned a blind eye on the issue, Lena tried to reach out and understand the those non-Albas. And she, perhaps among with a few other Alba officers, actually stood up and command the defense of the broken Republic frontline, and managed to survive.

Being able to pull a feat against odds like that sure made her worthy of some sort of a title you know.

86 was not written in first-person point of view, so it spanned its attention among many characters. That said, it does not need to be one person, Lena or Shin or even any of the others, carrying a whole story of 86 from the beginning to the end. The stories of 86 was woven by the characters as one whole group. At least it seems like that to me

managed to survive ? lmao most of those niqqas are ded , man ! Some।of them are still dying as new squads of 86 keep coming while she just commanding and be like I feel you guys . I can't remember how many literally died of screen . Like them dying became the most common thing in the anime

you definitely didn't understand the anime smh

"OKAY" (30 CHARACTER LIMIT) !!!!!!!!!!!!

The surface level of looking at it, Lena's adored by the fans because of her physicality appeal. There's no denying it. Then, to make her seem more sophisticated than she actually is, the author made her an innocent but naive teen in the beginning and it's her growth from there that got people behind her character. In the Light Novels, there's this character dynamic that's going on between her and Shin, which adds another layer of appeal to the fans. To sum it up, Lena is basically an emotional support and a love interest for Shin--that's pretty obvious from the beginning.

I think she's whatever. Her character never interested me in the first place and the Light Novels don't do much with her other than between battles and Shin. So, to people who are so dense-brained, instead of telling others to read the Light Novels, I like you to elaborate more than just say "read the light novels". Nobody gives a damn about the light novels.

Let me ask you a question, do you even know what this name even means when making this tread? lol

STSayeb said:
yeah typical Japanese cartoon trope giving a nickname to a lameass character thinking it makes him/her more kool and badbutt when in reality it sounds silly and dumb and is cringe af actually.


Maybe she is the cousin of power and can use blood manipulation that's why Bloody (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

Rembe said:

Lena isn’t depicted as perfect though. Her biggest flaw is her naivety and her savior complex iirc, similar to Ichigo from Bleach.

Also there are people who are like Lena in the real world, so what do you mean by human-like?

STSayeb said:
that's more like sexism . I like her cause she's a girl and a waifu

DeMarcK said:

If you are a high ranking officers, you must move on from the deaths of your subordinates, if that ever happen. Of course as a high ranking officers, Lena has the responsibility to minimize that probability as much as possible but that’s the best she can do. After that, anyone who is unlucky enough to die can only receive condolences and that’s it. You go to wars there will be casualties, that probability can never be zero. The tougher the battle the tougher it gets to minimize casualties. These are the case which righteousness cannot be absolute here.

That is not to mention the fact that this is not one of those wars in which they can just choose to simply abandon it because by then they are all dead

86 is just a cheap copy of Peak Fiction Aot
But 86 failed miserably in everything and practically no one watched it

STSayeb said:


They don't even give chance to the 86 to become officers . Like seriously anyone entering the military from the 85 districts can jjst become an officer or clark and chill the f**k out while they see only the 86 die . If there was actually something like equality or sympathy that Lena was trying to show then the 85's should also be on the frontline of the battles .
