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.

I’m not that big of a fan of mecha anime. However, I can say that 86 manages to be surprisingly good. Enjoyed it more than expected, particularly the drama elements. While it’s a little bit slow for me at the start, the ending paid off. With a compelling plot and world-building, 86 Part 2, the continuation of the story that was left off from Part 1, expands the world of the series with a different style of storytelling by focusing on just one side of the characters. It continues with the same set of characters with some new additional side characters and stories. The animation ...

Mixed Feelings
Imagine watching the first part of 86 and feeling happy. You thought the show was nice so your gittery fingers click the next part. You sit in anticipation waiting for how they will expand on the plot, and continue Lena's story. The exciting themes of oppresement, racism, and cruel government excite you. Only for you to be heartbroken with long delays and a whole-nother story that has NOTHING to do with the first part. If this is how you felt, then you are not alone.

The second part of 86's episode design was AWFUL. 86's 1st part was good because one part of the episode you ...

Is it worth watching an entire season just for the last 2 episodes to be good?
No.
Consider Part 1 the ending. Go do something else.

As well as the last scene is, and as anticipated as the reveal was, I do not consider it worth watching the whole show just for it. Maybe somebody could make an abridged version that leaves out the boss fight arc, and that'll make it better to watch and less dragged out. We don't learn much more about the characters, and they stop becoming interesting as soon as the focus is turned away from the survival aspect.
