It's kinda similar to AOT (war themes and morality and all that shit) but this time titans are replaced with robot spider thingy and we start with Marley POV. Am I the only one who thinks this? I haven't read the novel btw

I mean sawanos doing the music, so kinda similar vibes there. I guess maybe humanity cornered into walls as well? I can see where you’re getting those vibes from.

I mean you're not wrong. They have shared themes as you mentioned, but it's still different. In other words, the advancement of the plot and the approach will be different, I think. I am interested in the perspective of the 86 district characters because of what happened towards the end of the episode.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

AoT doesn’t have Lena, who wears garter belt and tries her best to earn something for herself.

I also got AoT vibes but only in certain parts, like the more darker scenes and the dinner scene with the squad, it kinda reminded me of AOT season 1

I do think the series will be way different to AoT tho ^^

Nah I’m getting mad mobile suit gundam iron blooded orphans vibes from this since it’s a mc who’s from a place everyone refers to as trash and he’s the leader and the main girl is one of the princesses/ higher up from the other side. Also I get the feeling a lot of people are going to die in this show which was the same as IBO

It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime.

Because both this and AoT were inspired by past mecha series like Gundam.

The truth is that I would not like to compare it to AoT. Anime with war themes usually touch on themes like this, in addition, it is the greatest potential of war anime.

If you say "it's like AoT with wicks" it makes me think that you expect a war anime, set in a war, that is not about war and its transcendence.

Nah 86 has a more sci fi world story plot than AOT, AOT’s technology can’t compete with 86 in my opinion😂

Nooo its not similar to attack on titan.
Aot didnt war themes.
So basically any anime thats about fighting monsters or robots in a grim tragic setting is like attack on titan?
Hell no .
Only similarity is the composer Hiroyuki Sawano is doing the music .

Attack on Titan and 86 both deal with discrimination against scapegoated minorities. If I remember correctly, Eldians were heavily discriminated by the Marleyans because of their past history of war. This parallels the Alba and the Colorata because it deal with themes such as human rights, racial discrimination, and the implications of geopolitical conflicts.

Liberio is an interment zone in a Marleyan city to separate the Eldians from the rest of the population. That is eerily similar to the Alba segregating and ultimately interning the Coloratas.

For once I agree with AoT comparisons. Giadian Empire and its (without going into spoilers) legacy have a lot of similarities with Eldia. That being said, it’s more of a final season AoT and not early years AoT if you get my meaning.

86 is also a lot more emotionally positively charged than AoT. Despite depicting genocide levels of cruelty at times it counterbalances them with subtle kindness and existentialism, and even heavy dose of romance.

the fact that this is even being compared to anything other than the Code Geass OVAs shows how few people watched them. Like, the 86s are literally the 11s in the OVA. They're not like the 11s, they don't share similarities with the 11s, they literally are the 11s.

Oh no! You don't want to trigger manga readers ptsd of the ending.

I think the same too but my brain was too small to pick this up honestly. See where you are coming from tho.

I felt AOT vibes cuz of the fact the way Giadian Empire is similar to the Maryleyan Empire as in they treat a certain peoples (Eldians) terribely and use them in war.

What's your point? Can there not be other series that show similarities to 86 other than Code Geass: Akito the Exiled?

To me it's just the music that has AoT vibes since it's Sawano Hiroyuki. As for the show itself it seems like a mixture of Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova, Deca-Dence and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei.

The OP does know that anime were made and produced before 2009 when AoT came out right? Even with ones with themes like discrimination, war and genocide. It did happen.

Honestly I kinda get the comparison/similar vibe. I'm not a big fan of AOT, but I did get AOT vibes during the opening scenes of the first ep. Probably the well shot action, which can compare to a lot of good shows, but with the dark tone AOT just happened to be what popped into my mind first. (Most likely because I don't usually watch shows like this, I've been missing out (・–・;)ゞ)

It is called military drama, AoT wasn't the first to approach such themes in fiction, neither was MLA, maybe NGE was probably among the very first, that I m aware of.

Apparently having silver blue hair and wearing a hat automatically makes you a discount Esdeath. Despite your personality or other looks.
