They both make good use of adding somber music to really good visuals, giving you a happy feeling with a tinge of sadness underneath. Although their concepts and plots might almost have nothing to do with each other, once you watch 86, you'll understand in time. I padded this out to this extent just to abide the guidelines, but honestly I just wanted to say "similar vibes". 86 tackles the story in a very similar way that Violet Evergarden does, on an emotional level.
Something about strong female protagonists that gets to many. What is even better is that there exists two anime, quite similar, that share the same themes, issues, and development with respect to one another. Those anime are called Violet Evergarden and 86.

Both of these have a very similar aesthetic and feel. 86 definitely has more action, but both are a good watch.

-Both shows emphasize the emotions of the characters and the impact of the past influencing them.

Both shows explore themes depicting a search for identity and existential meaning relating to the effects of war on deeply emotional level. Violet Evergarden follows a semi-episodic narrative through the eyes of our MC that touches on the importance of love and human connection in the aftermath of war, while Eighty-Six examines the meaning of life through a larger main cast of characters in the midst of a war-torn and prejudiced country. Though both stories present these overarching themes through different styles (e.g. VE is slower-paced and more melodramatic while
86 is considerably more action-packed), they use stunning sound and visual design to illustrate that life
