As a story, I was never too crazy about 86, but they hit the jackpot when thy got A-1 Pictures to make this adaptation, because the geniuses that are working on this show made this episode a fantastic one.

The BGM, the action animation, all the subtle facial expression cuts they use. Everything was phenomenal. The transition from the ED into the final scene was excellent too.

Shin's smile in his mech was pretty cheesy, but aside from that a very solid and emotional scene.

It was also nice to see the return of Lena! Or should I say 'Bloody Reina'.

Yep this episode is great, although I didnt feel it that much, I know shit is finally happening. My goodness, the action in this episode is freaking insane. For once, the CG when the Legions are fighting are freaking awesome, definitely not a let down. And the scene where Frederica is crying for Shinei going insane is amazing as well.

Too bad that things are not going as great in San Magnolia, but without Lena they're all being fucked by the Legions right now. Way to go, Bloody Regina, you are the true hero of your country, now I wonder what her uncle will do...uh oh that ending shocked me.

WOW. absolute banger of an episode. the calm has passed, and now the storm has arrived!!!

the Federacy soldier who fear the 86 will fear them even more, while hopefully the commanding officer will soon inquire Shinn more about how he knows when the Legion will attack. at least the commanding officer need to know about Shinn ability.

Lena part also really strong. if Shinn can be a highly capable soldier/pilot. Its clear Lena will show her superb commanding ability. cant wait to see how the rest of 86-er will respond to her in the emergency

Again, cool episode. The squadron get to show off their skills. For me, this series is at its best when it comes to individual character focuses. These fights against the Legions are freaking dull. All there is to these fights are human against an emotionless murdering machine army.

The animation is great.

Overall, this series is still a I don't give a fuck.

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

Yeah. From what I saw it's Chiaki Nagai who is in charge with Screenplay this episode, also the writer in part 2 episode 1. I'm not entirely sure if it's the sub which is messed up or,with my comprehension in Japanese , the script at that part is messed up. I'm not really sure. I might check the fansub with accurate translation.

Shit the war's about to begin and it's a bloody one

The way that they keep up and the power that they just have on the battlefield is amazing it's amazing how well they handle the battlefield than just say's the 86 team is as good as how they stand till this very day

Going back to Lena missed seeing that compassionate face it's about time she takes action, That cliffhanger gives me a bad feeling about the next episode.

good episode edge Shin was kinda cheesy but hey his character is one of the very few that are interesting so his love for battle and being cracked is not a surprise his grin was enough of a tell.

was kinda shocked they had foot soldiers right on the frontlines complete utter fodder and waste of death right there

if i didnt know better id say this was start of the final battle seems like the legion is at the front door of everyone but republics is still incompetent af even in their final hours


post credits scene pls the fuck was that i havent seen such a cliffhanger in 30seconds drop a bomb like that in a while there normally not that bad just little teases lol

Quite the action-packed episode we got this week, huh? Entertaining for what it is but nothing much to say besides that. Shinei kinda realized he actually enjoys killing Legion so his battle with Kiriya for the ultimate edge-lord title sure will be legendary.
And though brief, it was also nice to see Lena again. Her situation is kinda fucked right now given how incompetent Magnolia's higher-ups continue to be but she said she won't accept defeat without giving a fight so I gotta appreciate that spirit.

This show is soooooo... Underrated 😤😤😤
The recent episode 5 just gave me the goosebumps likes of which I experienced only while watching those hyped Attack on Titan moments and In Death note.
At that smile of Shin... Dammmmmn
Overall the anime is awesome, it's nothing less of a visual treat so good is its animation. And music is good too, action is one of the best I have seen in not only just mecha but every other genre.
I have high hopes from this anime... Hope it only gets better from here on😇😇👍😃

Blegh , lena half was as aggravating as I would have to expected it to be. Nice cg animation , tho the lighting felt off at brief moments . The yellow haired one's spider man movements were fun , although I question the physics in work . The problem was that it lacked any sort of tension , except maybe a bit for the scenes with shin losing himself . The battle itself is the squad kicking ass , and it's not edge of the chair stuff at that point , which should be the case for war arcs.

Well, this episode shows that the final battle is close, the new problems to solve are the legion, their time is up, but also the republic, although they have more than one defense and Shinei must overcome the enemy's mental control.

the last chapters will be the ones that determine the success of the season

All the machines are CGI right? If that’s the case I gotta say 86 has some of the best CGI I’ve seen in any anime. The action sequences, especially in this ep, always look really good


You gotta thank studio Shirogumi for that as they were the ones who handled all the CGI robot scenes. They are responsible for the Doraemon CG movies and the Dragon Quest movie, which had fantastic CG and looked amazing. Their most recent work in Night Head looks good too.

Holy fuck, insanely amazing episode. The anime is seriously elevating the light novel, the LN is already amazing for me, but the anime manages to take it even higher damn. Reading action scenes is fine and all, but seeing the action come to life is just cathartic.

Also, for those that didn't notice, it was the letter in Shin's cockpit that caused him to go berserk, he didn't go unga bunga for the lulz. That was some really fucking great action though, the CG was really well done. Shin doing his thing with close quarters combat, Raiden with the support, Theo going Spider-Man, Anju bombing with her multi-rocket launchers and Kurena sniping.

Really great to see Lena again, still as idealistic and determined as ever, but she can back it up now. That's our Bloody Reina. Her conversation with uncle Karlstahl was great. Karlstahl, knew how fucked up the republic is, but he didn't really do anything about it, well it's too late anyway now. But at least at the last moment, he did something for his niece. I can respect that.

Badass Bloody Reina speech at the end, resonating with all surviving processors for a last ditch effort against the legion. Also, that clliffhanger though, really can't wait for the next episode.

Why do you let it bother to you. If you're mature enough, you know how to deal with it. Kids act like kids, that's it.

Wow. The vision at the end makes me look forward to the next episode. Of course this hasn't really happened cause Shin would have noticed before that guy could have gotten too close to attack. But he might be on his way to attack there.

Best episode so far! Hands down. The animation, ost, everything about this episode was 10/10. Especially the last part during Lena's speech was so intense! Want to see more of my Bloody Regina. And this is only the episode 5. We have more and more episodes. Looking forward to next episodes. 86 is already one of my favorite animes not only for this year, but generally..

This episode was full of chills. Shinei getting the sweats from the no. of enemy he senses and going batshit crazy was terrifying. But Kiri getting into the mind at the end was horrific. What a way to introduce a character.

So with every nation front getting attacked; is this the end of all? Are we getting to the end?

What was in Shin's Chest pocket that protected him from Basically being killed? Was it Frederica's camera? That's what it seemed like to me.

Wow Crazy episode! Shin fighting was incredible and the music synced up perfectly.

Lena is back and she is BLOODY REGINA NOW. I love it.
