| I was hoping to see a "dont forget, there is another season" Amazing show. Love every part of it. |
| This beautiful series has finally come to an end (for now), and there's so much I want to put into words about my love for it as a whole especially this episode, but I don't think I'll be able to find the proper words anytime soon. While this last episode wasn't spectacular by itself, it was a really great way to wrap up the season, with quality directing and sequencing as per usual via the madman Toshimasa Ishii. The mixture of light comedy, heartfelt scenes, and buildup for future plot developments really helped to bring it all together for one final curtain call. While I didn't cry this time around, I couldn't help but continually smile with fulfillment. As I expected, this covered the Vol 1 & 3 epilogues along with some anime original content and setup for Vol 4 (the 86 Strike Package). That wholesome group picture of the gang at the end really topped it all off. It's really great to know that both Asato the author and the staff were both working together to make the adaptation possible, which is very rare nowadays in the anime industry. I hope s2 comes one day soon, as there's still plenty of story to tell from here on out. This and MT have really set the new standard of LN adaptations in the recent years imho. |

 |
| I feel bad for not enjoying the whole story because I really DO see the potential and the quality of it. The scenes shown from Fido's POV were very nice and enjoyable, what a wholesome compilation. It was heartwarming The last scene was actually amazing, not gonna lie. Lena finally met Shin and the gang, and they finally met their Handler One. MY HEART... It feels like this was the peak of the whole show. Brb I'm about to raise my score. See you all in the next season! |
 |
| Spectacular with the emotional payoff of Lena reuniting with Shin and the others. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for another season. |
 |
I was going crazy trying to find it, thank you for linking it! |
| So the Legion destroyed the Republic, off-screen!?! This is underwhelming in so many ways, because the detailed downfall of the Republic could've been such an interesting setting for a good story. |

I became a 1000% complete fan-girl by the end of it <3 <3 and i was literally the luckiest while watching it! i randomly picked part 1 yesterday cause it has been sitting in my PTW since forever, not knowing that the finale episode would air today !! it was one of the most beautiful coincidences in my anime binge-watching journey hehehe~~ I'm so happy i got to watch it without all the waiting ^_^ . BUT now what am i supposed to do with my life after finishing it TT.TT please let there be a season 2 in the near future ~~ Maybe try clannad the after story. You don't know how emotional that story gets ahead. Clannad s1 was just like a story build up for the characters. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Thank you for the recommendation! ๐ actually i watched Clannad yeaaaaars ago, and i totally agree with you on the emotional part ๐ญ ( i was basically traumatized after finishing it ๐). I might rewatch it now and enjoy it more after becoming adult ๐คฉ |

This was so beautiful! The last 2 episodes were worth the wait, for sure. A perfect 10 for me. Shin and Lena smiling at each other had me crying like a baby!  |
| Simply a masterpiece that reunion at the end was just beautiful please let there be a season 2 soon |
| After 1 entire hour of literally holding back my tears and after crying a lot with Shin and Lena meeting up, I can finally pick up my phone and write this. What a journey has been watching 86, it will be one of my favorite shows ever and I do hope, I can see more of this in the future. Asato Asato, thank your from the bottom of my heart for creating this piece of art. Toshimasa Ishii, you are a genius, your direction and appreciation to 86 is beyond my compensation. To everyone else involved in this, thank you for your hard work, 86 would be nothing without everyone of you. 86 till the end. |
 |
| I will keep it short and nice . Thank you 86 Director Toshimasa Ishii for giving us this beautiful adaptation of LN . I just literally cried and I had goosebumps till the end it was so amazing that it’s worth waiting this long . I just want A-1 pictures to more advertise 86 and give it their top priority. Cause these first two part were considered as the weakest volume of the LN story the anime still made it feel like it’s a 10/10. The upcoming adaptation of further volumes are going to be more awesome. Thanks again 86 team for giving beautiful ost and consistent animation quality throughout the end . |
 |
| Great episode! The emotion in this episode was absolutely amazing. We finally... got a face to face! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Yeah, that was pretty great. Here's to hopefully not spending the next 5 years hoping for an S2. |
| Omg that was super duper fucking amazing. Finally the ShinXLena ship can start going for real. |
| This was great. But still a big letdown in comparison to the first half. Not only Frederica is annoying 75% of the time, we also got more boring anime tropes that was well hidden back in the part 1, a more linear plot and too many fantasy shit with superpowers and clans (which was also part of the first half but didn't felt so stupid). Nevertheless, a well deserved 9 with part1 being rated a 10. This is definitely one of the best ln adaptations and I hope we'll get a new season. |
| I think this one episode highlights how effective music can be i elevating a scene to the absolute hights of perfection. The soundtrack and direction of this episode were top tier. does anyone know what the final song is? Sawano is and absoute God of soundtracks |

| What a meeting! One of the things I love about 86 anime is the end of its episodes, and this was the best of them. I watched it 10 times without realizing it, imagine! This meeting will remain one of the best meetings I have seen in Japanese anime! Look at this picture!  |
 |
| A fitting but pretty uneventful finale to the season. It was sweet for Lena to re-unite with the 86 this time - contrast to last season. |
 |
| They would hold off until the final 2 minutes of the anime for them to meet for the first time. If there's no season 2, I will definitely pick up the light novels. Despite all the setbacks, I loved this anime. |
 |
| sweet baby all the kamis you pray too. Now this is how you finish a season. If I could id demand another and if I dont get it set the world a fire, but unfortunately im not the current US administration, so before Biden burns the world, pls give me a next season!!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| This show just keeps getting better with every episode. I just hope this continues to be adapted. |
 |
| beautiful didn't leave this feeling empty as do most anime that I love tend to do; instead was given a feeling I haven't felt from anime in a long time. |

I loved the episode in general, but they finally meeting got me ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ |
| Very emotional reunion with all the 86 and Lena for the finale, that was a great way to conclude it, I don't know if it will continue with a 3rd season but anyway it was really good overall, 8/10, too bad it had so many delays but it doesn't really matter the show's quality was impressive overall |
 |
| it is great episode, really sadge they delay too much in part 2 to ensure quality, well at least its worth it wait (btw i totally forget 86 have 2 left episode) final scene hit really hard, Cant wait to see shin x lena later, Salute for everyone who work on this, and see you next project! also 8/10 not totally perfect i still stick to 86 part 1 as perfect season. Adios! |
Masterpiece, it’s all I can say, it was so beautiful, I was tearing up the most I ever have๐ฅฒ, and cried so hard๐ญ, perfect adaptation, the best ever, THANK YOU A-1 PICTURES, and Asato Asato, Favorite Light Novel And Anime of all time. |
| It's been a long time since I cried (from happiness) with an anime, I L O V E D the final scene, with a lot of hype for the next season |
 |
| only A-1 picture adaptasion anime 23 eps for 3 volume LN, very nice and very good 10/10 for me to this anime ๐ฅ and this episode closing for S1 is very heartwarming and emosional ๐ฅบ  |
R3alPvP said: The ending was just perfect, to finish something off that feels like a prologue (as in Vinland Saga maybe?). Best way to describe it. Welcome to the main story. I hope there will be a sequel. It gets so much better. |
| Such a brilliant ending plus the re-union was very heart-warming. I have no other words; just that the LN moved up in my priority list. |
 |
It was perfect. Worth the wait, never felt so emotional towards an anime since this episode. It was just amazing. |
