This anime is overhyped hot garbage. The fights are dull and nearly impossible to follow because both sides’ mechs are the same color—great design choice. The mc, Shin, is an edgelord that the author constantly tries to make seem cool but he just comes off as insufferable. And the side characters? Completely forgettable. I didn't realise 3/4 of Shin's squad had already died until I reached mid season 2

Then there's Frederica, a random loli character thrown in for no reason. She gets almost no backstory or meaningful development, yet we’re suddenly expected to believe she has some deep emotional bond with Shin. Meanwhile, Lena isn't ... even shown for most of the show, despite being a main character.

The worldbuilding is just as weak. We’re told about the different sectors, the federation and other countries, but they’re barely shown, leaving the setting feeling vague and empty. To top it all off, the big villain is just another edgelord, meaning the huge battle is essentially one moody teenager fighting another.

tldr 86 is an overhyped disappointment with a confusing plot, lifeless characters, and boring battles. It tries so hard to deep just to come off as bland. Total slop
