| Amazing episode! 86 surpasses my expectations and getting better in each new episode. Also, that ending tho. Can't wait for the new episode. |
 |
| Yehey more Lena screentime! |
| That was really good, much better than the previous couple episodes and it felt big time with the start and delivered well by the end. I'm still not sold on the Kiriya-Frederica stuff and some of the themes could have been handled a bit better with Lena's conversation in the 2nd half but the intense action and suspense was there, the music, visuals and directing drew me in to everything and left with an incredibly directed cliffhanger that just comes out of nowhere for the right reasons. This season's been weaker than the first one for me, but I needed an episode like this to just wake me up from my 2 week slumber and get into this again. Not my favorite episode of the whole season overall but it was a damn good one nonetheless. |

| These episodes can’t be long enough seriously! Everything about this episode was stellar. The post-credit scene, wtf?!? I cannot wait another week. 😭 |
 |
| Amazing episode 😤 People need to put respect on A-1's name! and credit to the studio that did the CGI |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This shit is so fun to watch! :D |

| This was just SO GOOD!! I'm still having goosebumps. Ans that end, I can't wait for next week!! |
 |
| Jesus that cliffhanger. Shin is gone kinda nuts but they managed to hold their front. The republic is about to get flattened. Kind of hope it does tbh. Lena can escape into another nation or whatever but those white pricks should just get wiped out. |
| MIND. IS. BLOWN. A1 is one upping themselves after every episode and this episode was by far one of the best. The battle of the Nordlicht Squadron against the Legion was phenomenal, the CGI was simply outstanding and the music just completed this masterpiece of an episode. Shin is an absolute monster on the battlefield and this episode once again showed that perfectly. I get chills every time Frederica's ability activates. Those flashes of the future/past was really eerie at times. We got more Lena again, FINALLY! Seems that next week the grand battle will begin at their side. The whole situation is really looking dire... I am so excited to see that battle. That post-credit cliffhanger though. Kiriya attacked huh? I didn't see that coming. |
 |
Bloody Queen Lena aka Bloody Regina is back!! |
| Great episode! The 86 did their jobs amazingly. Loved the action this episode as well. Also glad we got to see Lena this episode as well. CGI was really well done. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| So... Shin berserk mode on. Holy F*&C. I just can't say anything more. |
 |
| Well two words to describe what this episode did to me - I came. Where were these people when so many LN needed a good adaptation? Never seen CGI handled so deftly before with mecha. The mood, direction and music - everything feels like from a timeless classic. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| Well...they deserve it. (The action packed ep. Everyone was waiting for this season) |
 I'm going to be the Wizard Hokage of the Pirates!!!! |
| Literal Perfect Episode, Action packed and Amazing |
| Another fantastic episode bringing volume 2 to a close. We got to see the Great Offensive and the Fall of the Gran Muir. One think about the anime that confused me is why they changed it from Bloody Lena to Bloody Regina |
| Top notch episode from the beginning to those post-credits. The terrifying trench battle, the arrival of Nordlicht squadron (with each pilot's Reginleif doing their thing), Frederica seeing Kiri in Shin, amazing way to adapt the last few chapters of Vol. 2 (and the music after the Reginleifs line up to fire goes so well with that action). So they mixed some of the vol.3 interlude with the interlude/epilogue at the end of vol. 2 it seems. |

| I'm maybe dumb. Why did camera focus on Lena's chest when talking about what 86 will do to them? Also where did she get that golden artifact? |

| Was on edge the whole episode. Everything was just so spot on this episode. Feel like it was the same last season where it went from a slow 6 to full powered no stops on animation or sfx. Plus the way they chose to animate Shinei...god.... if this show doesn't get any awards this season -- I'm going to lose it. Definitely did not expect to burst into tears at that end... holy shit. |
| Every moment is a moment in this episode, but the one that really did it for me is the little smirk shin gives as his cockpit closes. This episode is certainly the most "WOW" episode so far of the entire season of fall 2021 anime. Edit: Granted, I haven't picked up Ousama Ranking yet |

| Solid episode witha lot of action and Lena is finally back. She was needed. But that cliffhanger was something else too. |

mimisannn333 said: The Shin x Kiri parallel was seriously chill inducing, goddamn!!! I'm going to be seeing this haunting face for weeks to come! To say that this episode was lit would be the understatement of the season. Furthermore, this is probably the first time in anime that I didn't mind the CGI at all; it was so well done!nitpick this series all you want, I don't care. A-1 showed me this and I had chills the whole episode. Looking forward for next episode!  |

| Perfect episode, nothing more to say. I was waiting for a great action episode after the previous calm ones, and it sure didn't disappoint. And finally Lena is back in action. |

Also, I think that wasn't meant to be her heart. They were talking about massacring and stuff. I think that meant rape. |
|
| Holy fucking shit that was absolutely amazing. Also dat cliffhanger at the end, Kiri sniped them??? Got some crazy Eren vibes with the "I'll kill you.". |
| Best episode of the episode of the series so far. Shin's group managed to hold off the Legion's full scale attack. It bothers me that the some of the Alba in the Republic Army are still not taking this war seriously even though some of the 86 have given up their life to buy them time as the 85 district burns. Damn that cliffhanger. |

I thought that was more about her connection with the 86, the rump of the remaining 86 are children. |

SnowBrightt said: I'm maybe dumb. Why did camera focus on Lena's chest when talking about what 86 will do to them? Also where did she get that golden artifact? From the first episode this season, that's where we see her put the picture of the previous spearhead squad. As for that gold device, it's an upgrade Annette made for Lena's ParaRAID so that she can sync with more people. We also see this device in the first episode when Annette and Lena met together (as well as last episode's post-credits scene). |
| Nope. |
| I am really surprised that 86 are so eager to go to fight the Legion to defend the citizens of San Magnolia. Lena should ask them for help and not give them orders after what her country has prepared for these people. If I were them, I would show them my middle finger. Magnolia's army is so helpless that it is surprising that they survived so long. |
| There is no words to explain how good this episode was. Speechless. I fckin love 86. |
 |
| pretty poggers tbh. |
| I use Arch, btw. |
| Pretty dope episode. We got a lot of action and it all looked great. Not surprised the episode with the least Frederica lines was the most enjoayable. |
| I think It's can be said that is the best ep of serie. |
  |
| Interesting cliffhanger, the episode was interesting in terms of visuals and such but it lacked tension so the result wasnt as interesting, I don't know if I can tolerate the Lena's dialogue and Frederica's dialogue going on in the same episode, the discussion with the uncle was extremely eye rolling. Decent episode |
| So the 86ers finally went to another war. Shinei didn't want to be interrupted, so things would get tough. The first Legion wave was easily beaten, but there was a second. And the 86ers managed to complete both in their own way. As Shinei said: "follow us if you don't want to be killed". The scene were he loses his mind, and Frederica just wants him to become sane again was impactful. We know he has been in countless wars, but it was the first time we had a closer look at his mind health. Frederica was glad that he was alive. Since the Legions were very close, Captain Milizé decided to take the wheel of the situation. But her uncle, General Karlstahl, tried to stop her. He didn't think the 86erd would be by their side. But as Lena said, they needed the Republic, even though they don't like it. Another thing Vladilena said is that everything she's been through was for that day. She can't disappoint the ones who trust her too. Great episode. (Also it seems the 86 will have some problems) |
