Synopsis

The disappearance of the Spearhead Squadron beyond the horizon does little to hide the intensity of the Republic of San Magnolia's endless propaganda. Vladilena Milizé continues to operate as "Handler One," the commander of yet another dehumanized 86th faction's squadron in the continuous war against the Legion.

On the Western Front, Shinei Nouzen and his squad are quarantined in a military base controlled by the Federal Republic of Giad, formerly known as the Giadian Empire. The newly-established government grants the saved Eighty-Six full citizenship and freedom. Housed by the president Ernst Zimmerman himself, the group meets his adoptive daughter and the last Empress, Augusta Frederica Adel-Adler.

However, within the calm of this tender society, Shinei and his team feel that their purpose is on the battlefield. Before long, they are once again in the midst of the Legion's onslaught as a part of the Federacy's Nordlicht Squadron, accompanied by Augusta Frederica. But, as history repeats itself, they realize that no matter the side, death and pain on the front lines are the only comfort they know.

For the past 4 years, I have patiently waited and envisioned what the adaptation of volume 2 of 86 would look like. I am so happy that I can confidently say A-1 surpassed my wildest expectations for this adaptation and gave my favourite Light Novel the love it deserves.

In contrast with the action packed first cour of 86, the second cour primarily focuses on interpersonal relationships and the 86’s struggle between a peaceful life in the Giad Federacy or returning to the battlefield. Volume 2 and the second cour explore themes such as the psychological trauma of being a child soldier and the quest to ...

Many of times, shows that get derailed by production and scheduling issues end up having poor or rushed endings. We’ve seen this with Wonder Egg Priority, and The Promised Neverland Season 2, both of which got massively rushed due to poor production. I’m glad that this second cour of 86 did not fall into that hell, despite the huge delay before the last two episodes. The high quality did not falter throughout, and we as fans can all appreciate such a thing.

STORY: 21.5/25

This takes all the good war themes from ...

The continuation of the 86 franchise can be described by one word:

Beautiful.

Although the story of 86 may be lacking in some areas, its amazing characterizations and visual presentation continue through to the second half of 86 becoming better throughout the show.

The story of discrimination and racism is not one I find to be that interesting. They often feel bland and shallow. Naturally, this hurt the story of 86 in the first installment as it really didn’t do anything to change my grievances with these types of stories. However, this recurring theme was better done in this installment as the Republic did not play as ... big of a role. Of course, this theme is still present in the Giad Federacy, but it isn’t being constantly shoved down my throat as much. I Still have my problems with it, but overall, it was done better.

As for the characters, I can say I have mostly praise for them. The change in characters is subtle but evident. Shin, although he has quite a blank-slate personality, is not just some overpowered self-insert protagonist. He has real emotions, burdens, and struggles he deals with. While certainly not all of them we can relate to, his struggle of finding a goal in life is something many young people can come to appreciate.

Lena although still being idealistic comes back with more resolve and a clear goal in mind. She is no longer spouting empty speeches: she is actively trying to accomplish something.

The rest of Spearhead Squadron—Theo, Anju, Raiden, and Kurena—do not get as much development as I would’ve liked, but they continue to be characters I enjoy.

There are plenty of new characters most notably Frederica who adds a lot of comic relief to the show. That is not to say she is only there for comedy though. She has plenty of character moments that define who she is. Besides Frederica, there are not too many new characters that stand out to me; granted, that may be subject to change in later installments.

Regarding villains, the Legion continues to play that role as the warmongering faction of mindless machines (although some may see the Republic as villains in some ways). The main antagonist does of a good of job of flushing Shin’s character—an essential component of an antagonist. I wish we got more backstory on him besides just the same montage of clips, but for the most part I was very pleased with his character.

The way the characters and their development are handled may seem simple at first, but 86 manages to grab that simplicity and take it to a level of greatness with great execution.

All these elements are elevated by the outstanding production quality A-Pictures put into the adaptation of 86. The art in 86 is amazing: The visuals of 86 can exemplify the current mood and emotion in many of its scenes—something I can say only a few shows have done so well. This is done by the many motifs, symbolisms, and allusions that complement the themes present. The soundtrack also perfectly captures the mood of both the epic battles as well as the cruelty and sadness found in war. It is clear from the first half of 86 that A-1 Pictures had a lot of passion for creating the show; that passion is clearly seen again in the second half.

Those who enjoy the first installment of 86 will most likely enjoy the second installment as well. I certainly did. The end of 86 Part 2 left me excited for what the show will do with its story and characters in future seasons, and with how impressive this season was, I can only be optimistic.

Thanks for reading.
