I find it amazing that the only guy that was able to give me a convincing argument in this whole thread was also the only one that did not resort to passive agrressive bullshit what a coincidence. Well, you weren't saying that at the start, so you're not great at being consistent, but just like your first statement, I'm saying your latest is flat out wrong. You really need to look up what passive-aggressive actually means. And why would I want to convince you of anything? So are you just typing for the sake of typing? if two people with oposing opinions are talking to each other about said opinions they are trying to convince each other right? if not why are you typing? "(even you figured that out)" clearly this is not passive agressiveness right? I am sure you will say the problem was my interpretation of what you wrote right? unless of course you mean that you are just being flat out agressive then sure. |

HueBrgle said: Great episode but I have a couple questions. 1. When the 86 are all eating, and Theo brings up Lena, why is Anju so adamant that they shouldn't bring her up? And why does Theo say "Don't tell me he doesn't realize it..." to Shinei? I get that her and her country are basically done for, but it seems they're implying something more 2. Wtf was that picture Nina drew? I get that she's pissed at Shinei (for the obvious reason), but I genuinely can't tell what the drawing is lol 1. They're all aware that's he has special feelings regarding her and considering that she might be dead due to the Legion attacking the Republic, Anju doesn't want to upset him or make him worry. 2. I believe it was a headless reaper, may be wrong tho |

| The Shin/Lena scene was incredible, loved how that was directed. |
| A random Federacy soldier: "No one here is replaceable." Also him: "If death is so attractive to them, then why don't we let them have it?" *sends them to a mission where their death is 100% guaranteed* This episode really shows how 86 will forever be treated as monsters even though their desire to fights stems from not wanting to be cowards and letting people down, the way their own nation did to them. It all started with the Federacy saving them because they're "kids" only for it to send them back to the battlefield because they "owe" them. Not a very surprising outcome. A-1 did such a great job building up for the next episode, I'm really looking forward to it. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| The predictions were fulfilled but this does not mean that the entire war ends yet they must reach the factories of the legion after defeating the Morpho that emotion I hope that in the next episode Shinei can communicate with Milize |

I'm typing because your arguments are incoherent nonsense, and that's worth countering. And what exactly about any of your subsequent statements would you hold up as an example of you trying to convince me of anything? |

I have no idea about the middle part, but the red scribbles surrounding it are 100% dead people. So I guess it's Shin and there are a lot of dead people around him. You have to wonder where Nina was getting all the info for her to come up with this disturbing imagery |

that was a great episode, wondering what would happened to Lena after that fight, sadly no new episode next week hope they would keep their time to improve it so the quality of onwards episodes would be great!  |

| I hope Lena and her team survive from the fall of republic :( |
 |
| So the Morphos finally arrived... They are Legions but require a big charge time, are larger and can hurt people nearby by the impact. The biggest challenge of Shin right now, considering that he was sent in a suicide mission. Since he's "just" an 86... Vladilena is counting on him, and said that she didn't forget him, also to don't leave her. Shin didn't want any pity from the soldiers. Nina was hurtful from Eugene's passing, and her words were eerie and impactful. They made Shinei even more sorrowful. Great episode and anime. |
 |
SoraSenpai said: The only thing I didn't understand was the picture Drawn for Shin. It was definitely a piece of Eugene's mech but the picture was weird. It looks like Shin's decapitated body to me... since Nina wishes he died instead of her brother. Moreover, the guy who saw Shin killing Eugene delivers the message to him, so he probably told her how he died. |
 |
| Holy shit..choked so bad seeing Shinei work through the human/trauma side of his existence. |
| lol, time to relegate Major Milize to supporting character in this 2nd season, Mods can you please change it? Cheers. These 86 clowns need some counselling asap. These half baked attempts from the Federation at talking the 86ers out of fighting are hilarious as well, oh well, might as well use them now lol. Still, wonderfully directed and animated once again. Can never fault it for that. A shame that the story is so mid. |

| Just wow, what an episode with all this buildup. Shin's mental health slowly declining, and the Republic being destroyed. The next episodes are gonna be a wild ride, really looking forward to it! |

| Decent build-up episode to mark the half-way point. The letter scene was well executed. |
| A great episode with wonderful direction and tons of buildups. It's painful to see what Shin have been thru |
| Great episode! I'm always glad on how 86 is directed so well and closely to the LN. I got a bit emotional and sad when they showed Shin's monologue with his past company members. It was also nice to see how we got a more closer look towards Shin's own feelings and that he actually does care for Lena despite how his exterior shows. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| nina my fucking god 😭😭 we got to know why shin was like .. That while fighting the latest battle now. damn i knew there was something wrong with that smile that sceneeee with the deceased 86 talking to him in his imagination, that ended with lena BRO no tears flowed from me but it sure felt like i made a river from crying. hurt so baddd |
| The message of Nina to Shin is depressing to see, so thats why Shin did go insane. So far so good |

| This episode makes me think the 86 is just being stubborn now, they really should live like normal kids.. the war must've been damaging especially for Shin and it clearly is causing more harm for him. |
  |
| This is without a doubt objectively Best Anime of this Season next to Mushoku Tensei Part 2 |
| This is made, so well, holy shit. The animation is good, above-average, but nothing amazing. But they work with what they got (which again, is already more than decent), and turn it into art. And the soundtrack doesn't slap, it uppercuts you into space 86 Part 1: I sleep. 86 Part 2: REAL SHIT??!! |

| Blaming someone is always the easiest eh. Nina's message to Shin triggered his depression. In such a cruel world with war at your doorstep, every action comes with consequences. The way the military pushed it all on the Norchlidt squad saying dying is a part of the job was the nicest way they could say to win the war for their people and not the them. This really was one of the hardest hitting episode with all those flashbacks and the state of the world. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| They cut corners for sure in this episode. The story just regurgitated what have been done before (Oh yeah we live in war so all we do is fight, so revolutionary), so nothing new other than obvious developments and the build up. I would have liked a more sensible approach to the short hair blonde girl (How is she called again?), she seemed like an interesting character but I guess she will just be discount Lena for the rest of the story. The visuals with the dead 86 and Nina was extremely low, but I guess it was needed to give something easy to consume because the episode was a snoozefest all around Correctable said: I hope Lena and her team survive from the fall of republic :( Do you seriously think they will let Lena die that early in the story? Without meeting again Shin? Seems farfetched, the character of Lena is telegraphed, they are not going to do anything brave with it |
| The starting was intense. It looks like the Legion finally got a hold of the Republic of San Magnolia. They deserve it though. This was a long time coming. I'm just surprised this happened so early into the series. Previously it was mostly just Lena who wasn’t sure if her Spearhead squadron was still alive or dead. Now the 86 aren't sure if their 'Major' lives or not. Interesting uncertainty dynamic. No new episode next week? That's a bit disappointing but seeing how high quality last episode was if this means we'll get more episodes like this later then I'm not complaining. |
| Lena practically battling in hell yet we get another uninteresting build-up episode with Shinei and co. instead. Okay. So as in Part 1, there is another suicide mission for our 86s to go, huh? Well... let's see, Shinei surviving is already a given since he and Lena still have to reunite so the real question here is if one of his friends is gonna bite the dust for real this time. Oh! And by the way, FUCK Marcel. Imagine being such a scumbag you have to manipulate a heartbroken little girl to direct more of your nonsensical hatred towards a guy you barely know. |
| Finally the Republic reaped what they sow, lol. But too bad about everyones destiny who put up a decent fight, but it was bound to be of no use with the technology and low maintenance they had done on their equipment. Still was wondering why no Legion unit wasn't crawling through the scenery, was there another town to raid nearby? I guess Lena made it somehow in some cozy bunker with a supply of food and wine. Fuck You Nina!? maybe Shinei was in no position to execute your brother in his last moments, but your brother was already as good as dead and nothing could be done about it. I'm not too shocked that 86 are send on the next daredevil mission, but considering the weak performance of the regular troops in the recent event, it is probably the better choice to send experienced troops. And I honestly doubt that it won't work. |

| oh look here we go again! Eighty-Six is fanatic against Death's doors! but let me guess, Lena would interfere with their Deaths huh...predictable...or maybe? 4/5. |
 |
| Wtf?! Please tell me that's not it?! I was waiting for the fall of the republic since season 1 and they gave us like 3 minute total screen-time of it happening/ending? I hope we'll get more in the future (from Lena's perspective perhaps), otherwise mega disappointed. When the infamous railgun turned out to be a Gustav Gun, I had the same expression as the avatar of the user above me. |
| Fantastic episode! We are now at the beginning of volume 3 and we are now building up to the large scale offensive. It's great that they showed a little bit of what happened to the republic, it was only a matter of time before their way of "fighting" the legion breaks. It's amazing how they showed Shin's mental state right now and what can I say, it's definitely not looking good, everyone always leaves him behind, why is he always the only one that gets left behind? And the letters from Nina definitely does not fucking help. It was hearing Lena's voice that pulled him out of it when he was going berserk last episode, but now he doesn't even know if she's still alive, even though it was her that said to not leave her behind. Pain. What's even more painful is that there's no episode next week, well that's 2 weeks of depression. I hope that's enough time for A-1 to bring us another banger episode. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Great episode once again.We got to see how Lena is holding the defence of the Republic.The offensive against the Morpho was being built up this episode.And 86 is called to lead this mission. Shin's mental turmoil is portrayed this episode,Nina's letter was sad and distressing. Also we got to see how Lena is the emotional anchorage of Shin.Also the cliffhanger at the end. So no episode next week.Visual commentary episode next week.I hope the break helps the quality of this anime even more. |
 |
| Shin... Appreciate the episode still managing to make me smile with that last Theo bit near the end though. No fucking way is Lena dead. |
| Another episode with the spotlight on Shin. A lot is going through Shin's head; The way he interprets things and the suffering going on in his head is extraordinary. This episode provided a build-up for something grand but, next week is a special visual commentary episode. |

| Last two episodes are just fillers. I don't like it. They are overfocusing on Nouzen. What about other characters? No character progress at this cour. I wanted to see other characters more than him. 3/10 |
| Pretty good episode with a lot of things to take in. Looks like the Morpho strike was the one that killed a lot of people in the aftermath of Episode 5. And it seems that the Republic has been infiltrated, bad but good for them. Our five main leads are now being used on a suicidal mission. On one hand, because Shin is their leader and he has psychic powers to know where the Legion units are, on the other....cos they're 86ers. A lot of dialogue, but all n all it's another buildup episode for what's to come...let's see what that will be. At the end where the Republic is shown destroyed are the vibes I am about to get for Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2. |
