86 is back for its second cour and the first ep did not disappoint. Lena seems to have matured a lot and her new look makes her look like a badass. It felt like this episode foreshadowed a lot of future plot points. Also the visuals for that intro are one of the best ive ever seen.

What? animation quality didn't drop a bit instead they up the quality .

Well, they did improve the battle animations a little I guess but others things such as characters walking, face expressions was compromized quite a bit. And it's just episode 1 and I didn't say an animation drop with will ruin the anime or anything. Let's just see what happens.

Not really , I think you are only taking Lena walking at beginning into account which looks slightly weird cause of angle not that animation was compromised. Infact they improved the character designs especially Shin. Look at scene were Ernst stand up from seat or when they remove the opacity of the glass ,it looks really good

Good episode. Thanks to these three replies in the 213 posts here that kind of explained the Rei metal tag. It was driving me crazy how absolutely no one but three people asked for it.

I honestly didn't expect a new squadron. I just want Shin and Milize to meet already come on. But seems like it's gonna be a long road before that.

It's not that its ugly, it just doesn't make sense. Humanoid robots don't move like humans as it was from some anime. Even small scaled humanoid robots still do not move lie that. I know its because its futuristic, but I don't think it is realistically possible that they can move like that, unless someone from the future found discover something. But as of now, its impossible and I don't think humans will spend finances for war robots.

Never thought I would miss this anime so much until now. Welcome back 86!

so Shin and Lena will probably be apart for a long time. Since they both are in a different nation now(?). what I'm afraid of is that they'll meet on the battlefield as enemies lol.

The "Dad" is such a funny n nice guy I like it.

Can't wait for the next one!

You want Legion PoV? Wait for season 4.
oof, sounds like a long darn wait. I hoped to get something like that a bit sooner; but that's beside the point. the previous season ends in peril for 86 gang but the current season starts with time skip to safety and this god-ex-machina-behind-the-scene just pisses me off

You're looking at it the wrong way around, Deus-ex-Machina implies something seen to be story breaking.

In this case what happened isn't yet known, but I think all the clues are there starting in first cour episodes and specifically in some scenes and comments in this cour's opening episode

Or I could be completely overthinking things and it really was a total ass-pull ;-)

This was a solid start. A lot was expected at the end of season 1 and they decided to put it all in front right away. I was expecting the fate of the shin and co to be revealed on ep 2.

If you remember Shin, when a comrade of his died he cut a piece of the person's mech's armor and wrote his name on it. Now his brother died he could write his name on a piece of his old mech.

So Milize got demoted instead of being prosecuted, while being in an autocratic society, as expected this is going to be another season I won't enjoy like the last.

Like I don't understand how would their society be single minded, if someone like Milize wasn't silenced out??

And yet again Milize goes against the authorities idea, being able to argue against him as she goes out unscathed

This is only five minutes in to the anime as I type this up

BUT for some reason, Milize is entrusted as a handler still, when in fact the authority can just replace someone else who does not sympathize the 86 and
get the job done instead.

The anime literally explains why she isn't prosecuted in that 5 minutes. You should fix that selective hearing of yours.

- She delivers results
- Most effective Handler
- Because of her, the supervisor in charge of her can get a lot of promotions.
- She doesn't really go against the said system. She isn't freeing the 86 ers or makes the whole racist country run less efficent.

Dude even Rommel in Nazi Germany wasn't prosecuted when he argued against the nazi ideals. The only time he was killed when he was associated with overthworing the Reich.

And yet she does not even feel like one as I try to immerse myself.

All she ever does is resort to her emotion, and suddenly compels herself to know the 86 and the others. The character that the anime is trying to represent shows her in a way that shes naive, rather than a very capable and well experience handler.

Because of that display, I forget the dialogues.

Gotta be honest, I don't like the OP

Even so, this episode was very interesting, I love that the spearhead squad didn't die at the end of s1, cuz that would have been a disaster.

It was interesting how that little girl got called 'empress' that definitely spiked my interest.

Also, I love Ernst. I sense his dark fucking past, but I feel that he's a good guy inside

Other than that, why does Lena have red strains of hair now?

Well that's not what you were arguing for. Your main take that why she isn't prosecuted, which I and the anime gave you answer. Also your description might be true for the first season, this is totally not the case in the 2nd. She is done appealing to emotions, she does whatever she wants. And by this point she became a very succesful handler that you can't really get rid off.

Also in season 1 the anime shows you why she is a capable commander by the Spearhead complimentign her:

- 2nd episode you can see Raiden and Shin talk about her advising to advance point 208. THey admit that that would be an ideal point to go if they deployed at that moment.
- You can see in ep 3 that they go with her advice to go up to a hill for an elevated position, which was totally her idea.
- In ep5 you can see Shin saying that her Analyzing the enemy is very useful for them.

These are tidbits there are more.

The only downside for me is the little girl with the Paimon personality. It just seems off, in this world full of realistic grounded character, here she as the only typical comedic relieve just to annoy you for the upcoming week

And this is also a world that has Empires, Kingdoms, nobility in it. How is having a princess or an empress not "realistic"? What's wrong with having comic relief once in a while? Having lighthearted moments like these DOES NOT make any setting less realistic. Eitherway what makes you think the new character will remain nothing as a "comic relief"?


Correction..
I'm not annoy by the "empress" title my friend, c'mon. It just her personality it's a tropes that i have seen in so many others media that kinda become jarring to see, especially in this anime where almost every others character so far is grounded and have a realistic take. I would more than welcome her if she's appear in some type of action shonen or romance shoujo anime(which we are all have seen how much it's been overeused). But in here, it just seems off and out of place, even her interaction with others character feels odd as if they were saying "we don't have any idea what to do with these things"..

But well i dunno, maybe it just me being nitpicking. I'm just saying that her personality it's unnecessary

So excited to see 86 back for the second season.
Seems a tad dry so far, but matches the pacing of LN.

I don't remember the REI name tag (did he make it a long time ago? While he was half dead?), but oof my eyes immediately welled with tears. Also Teppy. Cute name for the cat. Not sure if I remember seeing him(?) named previously, but I swear he made the weirdest introductory cat sound LOL/

The Republic of San Magnolia was once a monarchy. This kingdom ruled over the land's native people, the Alba, and a subset of Alba known as Celena were its nobility. Over three hundred years ago, in Republic Year 1 (Stellar Year 1782), the Monarchy was toppled in a "Democratic Revolution" and the Republic, the world's first modern democracy, was founded to replace it. The revolution was led by a woman who would later be called San Magnolia, whose martyrdom resulted in her becoming the namesake of the Republic. "Not Autocratic"

Ahh yes I just read a bit again and I think it's because the information are segmented in many part in the first volume and not concisely written in a single paragraph like in the wikia which added to my confusion. Thanks!

Took about 5 secs for it to help me remember how much i hate lena . Wish i had dozed off during her part so that it would have made it atleast a bit more bearable .....

An okay start i guess . Felt a lot more boring than the 1st season . need to go off to wiki to refresh my memories of the last season . Completely forgot how much of a dead character shin was .

Directing is still strong as ever . The transitions and the variety of camera angles helps a lot in sending out the general mood of the scenes.

As i expected , dont like the OP at all . i was underwhelmed by it snippets in the trailer , and i thought maybe it would sound good when i listen to it properly , but looks like i was wrong . Sigh , so that makes it 0/2 for 86.

Dissapointed with the new member of the lena squad . bootlicking lena of all people should be a crime . what a shame , i had hopes for her as well .

Also did this dude really just pull off the bondrwed pose ?? and he has a daughter who is adopted ? oh no...... this can only go one way........

Great kickoff episode. I really liked it.

We are updated on the situation/status of the Spearhead and the San Mangolia empire. I like the cold and confident Lena more than the too sweet and naïve Lena. I hope we can see more of that in future episodes.

The members being alive isn't even surprising, but we've never heard of this Gia or whatever Federal Republic before, so it kind of feels like it was made up.

I think this will slowly build up to a strong conflict, and I look forward to it.

Although I bought some of the sound tracks from the first season, and I listen to them every now and then, I still forgot how good the music of the show is. The sound choice in this episode is impeccable.
Never heard of it? The first time we heard of it was literally 2 minutes into the first episode of the series and it has after that been mentioned MULTIPLE times.
