| Another good episode this week. Looking forward to see how they adapt the story behind Shin's brother. |
| was alright unless this is a super slow burn nothing groundbreaking has happen so far..still enjoying my Sawano drops was thinking Shin was pretty level headed despite one of his mates dying but the dude seems kinda messed up once you mention his big bro. |
 |
| The episode was kind of redundant and made of so many apologies of Lena. Marinate1016 said: The anime team might not have much time and money to do that. Half joking aside, since Lena only knows 86s only through the limited amount of the radio communications (like audiences of this case), it is almost impossible to feel the life/death of 86s as reality. If the show is intended to be an entertainment, some visuals would be needed.My only complaint with the episode was them not showing Kaie’s death on screen. I think she deserved more than that. Especially since the anime made her a really big part of the first few eps. |

Because the pacing has been great. It’s a very detailed LN series. |

| Theoto is such an obnoxious brat but at least his outburst was what Lena needed to become more assertive as well as more aware of her surroundings. Overall, probably the best episode so far. Mostly because of how the final third of it was handled. Lena's friend still annoys me to no end tho. Probably because of her "I don't know shit about your position as Handler but I will keep giving you "advices" about how you should do your job" attitude. |
| it was a good episode. we see how Lena conflicts about kai death and about 86 area. also, how she think about his country this episode contain many information about Lena specifically. I like it :) |
| that was a great episode. it didnt have any heavy important lore but it took us more into the characters' belief, lena and shin's specifically. and more of theo ! showing his regret on how harshly he worded his thoughts, also little info on their previous units. shin has a brother? we can't see his face but he's cute isn't he god damnit |
| Probably not 100%, but I'm glad finally Lena and the 86 finally reach mutual understanding and built better bond than before ^.^ |

| Best episode so far. Out of 86 the only likeable character for me is undertaker imo. Now that the 86 and handler both understand each other I want action |
| One Piece Episodes 1018 & 1027 were a mistake and 1033 brought salvation. -DrippySid |
| still doesn't change the fact that there are lower classes and higher class and NO BALANCE AND NO JUSTICE! |
 |
| Is it me, or is this one of the first shows where added anime original content appears to be happily accepted? |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Pretty good episode handling the fallout from Kaie's death. 86 squad pretty much just go on as nothing had happened. That's war for you. Bit of an awkward call like "I'm sorry please tell me your names" but it's nice they were able to push past that in a single episode. |
| I am here for the relationships between characters rather than the "mecha" fights tbh. Looking forward to the next one. |

| I get the feeling they'll change her picture on that paper at the end of the series to something nice. They keep going back to shots of those pictures lined up on the wall so I get the feeling it'll mean something later on. I really hope the MC at some point actually leaves the safe haven and goes to where the rest of the gang is and fights alongside them. It would be cute seeing her interact with them all and getting along with the other girls like they were in the waterfall area. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Another fantastic episode! I am really loving the characterization in this show and how they're slowly building things up. Man, I knew that one frame in the OP with the flower fields was gonna add those that have died, feels bad. I am not looking forward to the future of that one frame. The directing as well is still phenomenal, especially when Lena was remembering Theo's words while that announcement of the Republic is playing in the background, it just really hits home how terrible their situation are. I am glad Lena owned up to her mistakes and made up for it, this is I guess a new beginning for her, though I doubt that's the only new beginning she's gonna get, there's probably gonna be more pain and suffering on the way, fuck. I guess Shin's brother is the one that saved Lena, that ending scene was unsettling, plus that creepy smile from Shin. New ED was fire though, based Sawano. I am guessing we're gonna get multiple endings, Sawano is blessing us. Really looking forward to the next episode. |

| It was a decent episode. But there's something that doesn't add up. Just a day after Kaie's death they are back in cheerful mode in the barracks. If they can easily flip a switch and ignore all the sorrow and remorse about a fallen comrade, then they probably don't care at all about each other in the first place. And if they don't care at all between them because their deaths are such a common thing, then there wasn't a good reason to feel angry at Lena when Kaie jumped foolishly towards her own death. |
Kimurah said: Well, he wasn't angry at her for the death per se. He was angry at her mainly for the hypocrisy. If, after the death, Lena had said "good work y'all. 86 die all the time, it's not a big deal" or even "serves you pigs right, you all should die" then Theo wouldn't have gone out on her, at least not for that reason. He went off at her right when she started saying "sorry, blah blah blah". That is also why the "asking the real names" thingy was highlighted. Theo wanted to point out that just by apologizing and sweet talking to them everyday won't make them all buddy buddy when she is using them as meat shields while sitting on her comfy couch. He wanted to say that she pretends that she is so much better than all the other alba when she is basically doing the same thing. This is also where the "we won't accept you and consider you our equal unless you join us" thing comes into play.It was a decent episode. But there's something that doesn't add up.

| Amazing episode. After this episode I can say for certain that 86 will probably bet one of, if not my favorite anime of this season. I know A-1 Pictures can be really hit or miss at times, but this one is definitely looking like a hit from me. |
 |
| There's something lacking in this anime. Despite all the drama, it feels pretty hollow. I don't know why. I'm also getting tired of the storytelling style of repeating the same time from different perspectives. It was interesting at first, but now it's getting boring. |
Lena growth is one of the best aspects of this show, her writing down/learning their names is too wholesome. shes learning to be an even better person |
| That was a pretty solid written episode. Glad they didn't took the easy root of them accepting her just because she was nice to them. Although the story still needs to prove why it won so many awards, so let's wait and see. Highlight is again the direction, that definitely know how to intensify a moment only using camera and sound design. Overall it still is a pretty good show from this Season. |

| This was a really nice one. It was surprisingly wholesome seeing that whole discussion at the end with Theo. 86 as a whole has exceeded my initial expectations |
 ManWild |
| Damn, what an episode that was really good. We get to know a bit about her father Vaclav and as well as getting to know the Spearhead Squadron's name. That teaser at the very end tho. |
 |
| Can't even begin to imagine how the average person's mental would look like if they witnessed 561 deaths of people who fought alongside 'em, as the survivor carrying them to their final destination. Shin's own mental must be next level on the fortitude. |
