Cour 2 will have even more fights that people are expecting it to happen and i don't think they'll going to be disappointed 🤔


I was referring to the context this was in. I didn't enjoy vol 2 much though I will probably enjoy it a lot more when animated.

Cour 2 has a shit ton of fights and great moments but no real intensity especially the way it was set up. Atleast compared to cour 1.


I would say that the intensity that i feel from vol1 is pretty much the same as I am reading vol2&3 so it really depends on people's taste

It depends on how the anime adapts. The end of volume 1 kinda spoils the end of volume 2+3. Volume 1 was written to win the LN award in Japan so it had to be self-contained.

Since the beginning I didnt like this Henrietta b*tch, now its all good for me, she can go die in her lab or something

If Im not wrong, I remember I read they let Shinigami's family hide in her house, then the school bully happened and then the girl asked her dad to kick them out, but here she said they didnt even let them stay, she just said that racist line to Shinigami boya

It would be really nice if some users wouldn't basically spoil what will going to happen in the 2nd season, these kind of teasers "ohhh that thing you said you wish would happen, i will not spoil it but let's just say you will be happy watching the next season, but remember, not giving spoilers hahaha ;)"

Come on, at least put the comment inside the spoiler tag.

Great episode as always.

They really had to off screen Haruto's death. RIP man. :(

Got to feel sorry for Lena. She wants to do the right thing but unfortunately, she doesn't have the power to do it.
Annette

The reaction of Fido, the scavenger, was funny. Jumping up and down because of Shin's comment.

The after credit scene was intense with what Rei did to Shin. They really did show Rei as the Legion.

This show has been surprising me a lot, gotta say that it is the best anime of the season so far for me, and this episode managed to be the best of the series so far. What a masterpiece done by the studio and director!

The scene of Lena and Anette is probably the best scene I've ever seen in any anime. The way it's constructed, the soundtrack maan the soundtrack, Sawano is a true genius. The music starts very cracky, then it escalates with those heavy low notes, it's a like a storm forming. Then, Anette tells Lena that she hates her and the scene enters what is for me the main phase. They show Lena walking down the streets deep in the night, and I want to note that the scene is meant to happen during night, it's dark as the situation. But then the next frame is during a clear, sunny day, the next day, and you would normally expect the scene to transition into something lighter, but no, the music reaches it's climax, as heavy as never, the thunder low notes exploding. It shows how time doesn't matter for what Lena is feeling, it can be day, it can be night, her situation continues as dark as hell. And they explicit this in the next frame, with a timelapse of the day/night cycle, with a dying flower in a pot, showing that time won't fix anything here, on the contrary, it makes things slowly even worse. It summarizes the whole show, as time passes, Lena knows more about the reality and she gets more and more depressed with it, the more she knows, the worse things get.

It's also simply incredible how they paid attention to every detail, to every nuance, the facial expressions the characters make, the smalls sounds, the small visual features. In the Lena and Anette scene you can notice the dust particles shining in the moon light, in the Lena and her uncle scene, when he turns around they put a little sound (that you won't hear in other frames) of his clothes twisting with his body, that's to show the vigour and the strenght of his presence, you can feel the pressure when he turns around.

Perfect episode, this one episode is totally perfect.

Omg that scene between Annette and Lena and Annette's backstory with the 86 and her father's project (and suicide), that was totally heartbreaking, especially when she said that she hates Lena and to never comes back... of course Lena's uncle doesn't help her as well, and now they cut the communications with her and the 86, they're only 5 left and they're on their way to die, that's just absolutely depressing, not to mention that post-credit scene with Shin and his Brother's flashback, it explains why he has that scar on his neck, that was totally terrifying... probably the best episode so far, it was absolutely great.

I love this anime, but God, do I hate Lena!
Her morals and ideals are growing too tiresome, and she's an awful Handler, to say the least. She kind of reminds me of Shinji, and I don't see it unfeasible of her putting all of the Republic at risk just to save her unit. The way she acts is pitiful and overall infuriating. Annette's rant was very interesting, but that kind of self loathing and whatnot still bothers me. Anyway, I cannot help but cringe at Lena's saviour complex. Even the 86 themselves have said they don't care about her advances.

That ending....so that was actually Rei's emotional outburst that he said and did in the heat of the moment in the most worse way...I wonder if Shin will get to know the truth that his brother didn't mean what he did.

Looks like there are a lot of Albas who think that what the government is doing is not right but they know that going against the government will bring no merit. I agree with them, one can't just go and change everyone's mindset to how they want it to be. They can't change their mindset but they can force the government, to do that Lena have to find a lot of Albas who have similar views about 86, some bloodshed might be necessary if they want to bring revolution. But I don't think any Albas would want to put their life on the line to end this discrimination...

But really if they don't want this activity of theirs to get public then why do this in the first place...

It was beautiful yet heartbreaking to see them go to the battlefield when they know that there's no way of returning alive.

The ED song was beautiful as usual.

Wow. What a bitch. Annette is just another hypocrite who blames her failures and shortcomings on the society. Difference is she actually thinks that she is right and even disregards a person who is actually trying to help, showing that she is sick to the core.

I am amazed at how the show manages to portray all the emotions. Hiroyuki Sawano is at his best once again. The details in the anime amaze me. This actually looks like it has been adapted from a Novel.

watching them leaving their base... 1 day after 2 vtubers (Coco and Lulu) graduated, fuck, it hit a little harder than it should have lol

this was a hard episode for Lena, literally everyone told her to leave them

i wonder what will happen in the last episodes + 2nd season/cour, if they are supposed to die in this attack, will they show a new team? will these 5 not die? humm, i'm kinda curious

garbage episode. this show has become trash. what a downfall

talk about an asspull with that scientist woman all of a sudden saying she cares about the 86 and goes on and on about some sob story backstory. bull f***ing shit. spare me that nonsense. "i care about the 86 but you can't do anything to save them so just let them die. they're better off being sent on a suicide mission anyways." omg shoot me

stupid princess pig bitch acting all upset on the phone thing to spearhead. but wtf has she actually done to help them? hmm? i'm waiting. name one goddamn thing

oh, and the 86 are telepathic? cool...NOT. i mean, i guess that explains why this dude hears all these voices, but the whole 86-have-special-powers shtick is lame af

princess pig bitch's uncle wants to kill all the 86 so that the 85 can just pretend the 86 never existed? sorry, but the 85 DEFINITELY know about the 86 already. the public knows. they're just all cunts and don't care

and the 86 are just ok with everything? they're ok dying. because they chose to die? lmfao...this is the corniest, most absurd, shittiest shit

and now the two brothers are going to have a lovely reunion. f this

overall rating down to 5/10 after being an 8 or 9/10 after the first couple episodes. i don't even feel like finishing this show

At least, seeing these guys smiling was satisfying. I'm glad they're not much concerned about who'll remember them (at least they have such faces). It would be better if they live, but hey, that's just it.

Live like its the last day. I hope anyone reading this don't take it to the extreme :)

The reveals of Annette's past alongside the true nature of the final mission the Republic dished to the 86 is absolutely phenomenal in this show, especially the contrast between the naive Lena against the disillusioned Annette.

It's sad but at the same time pitiful that Lena is being treated this way. No one really is going to support her, and the only thing she can possibly do to "fulfill" her goal for the people she cares about...is to do it the other way...damn I hope this works.

All the characters we saw in the first episode, only 5 remained for the last mission. Shin and his co. has nothing left to lose, it's a do or die situation. And after all the hints and buildup that we were teased, we finally know what happened to Shin's onii-chan...I'm at a loss of words. Next episode is going to be a banger, hope I don't cry by the end of that.

Anette is not pulling any punches and punching Lena in the face with all these facts

This situation is getting complicated day by day and I'm not going to blame why Lena is frustrated from the start and how can she even save the 86 from this death mission

This feeling of emptiness in my head after they all left one last time, and the chills that I felt through my spine are so god damn scary and depressing.

Ok starting with confirmation of several off-screen death as Shin brought some juggernaut remaining that he used to collect from his deceased comrade.

Lena went to Annette's to discuss the squadron impossible 0% survival chance. Annette shove some harsh reality toward her face that nothing that they can do about it. She then told her about the past of Para-Raid manufacturing that her dad develop. Harsh truth came one by one as the subjects that used for that was actually human, 86 to be precise. In other way it was human experimentation. Even she told Lena that one of them was her neighbour. The mother and her son have weird power that they can felt about each other without talking. That what made her father had any interest in them. In the end her father couldn't bear with that experiment and killed himself as lots of them dead in process. With those facts in hand Annette blame Lena that she was the one who'll be also killing them by bothering them with her resolution and shoving that truth right in her face made her depressed in the end( well as we can see in picture & photos behind her, we already can assume who's Annette neigbour was ;).

Right after that, her uncle and commander Jerome shove another harsh reality check to her again. Once again, there is nothing that they could do, As there is nothing that they can expect from those "white pigs" a.k.a the people of San Magnolia themselves. He exactly understand how trash were them but as a military they could only follow the government, on other hand the the people of the republic too.

Desperate Lena begging Shin to just run away but OFC Shin and the squad won't do that. They certainly had a goal and purpose especially Shin end his Brother, Shourei that actually already turn into Sheperd. He asked Lena not to contact the squad again and advised her to go to the east border, Because Legions were not stationed there as San Magnolia'll be destroyed sooner or later.

The preparation and day before their "final" battle against Shourei a.k.a Dullahan.
beautiful BGM as they enjoyed their last day and reminiscing of the whole Squad.

Finally they went to the "last" battlefield together as remaining 5 of spearhead squadron.. once again this transition into ed credits with "Hands Up to The Sky" was wonderful.

another glimpse of Shin past with his brother in the after credits. With Shourei desperation after he lost her parents and vent those anger and hopelessness into Shin. Almost choking him to dead, I guess that when Shin got his neck scar.

and.. Himself a.k.a Dullahan made his appearance in the end as the sheperd....
