| 86 is one of those anime that wants to be deep with its themes but often comes off as kinda boring And dull. |
| Part 1 was kind of boring I agree. Part 2 on the other hand?? Phenomenal. Anime of the year material. If you're still bored, then yes perhaps this isn't quite your cup of tea |

| Nope. It’s great, and it’s adapting the source material well. If it’s not your cup of tea, then it’s entirely down to your preferences. The delays are unfortunate, but I’m pretty sure there’s no harm in being patient and understanding of the staff’s situation. |

If you're still bored, then yes perhaps this isn't quite your cup of tea If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious to know why you think part 1 is boring compared to part 2? No hate or judgment, just interested to know your reasoning. No legitimate reasoning, I just personally found it boring. It was a lot of talk about issues I didn't care about, among characters I didn't care about. It definitely picked up around the last couple episodes though. But now that we're in Part 2 and I know and care for our characters a little more, it definitely upped the enjoyment factor for me |

Eren_Cho said: The opposite actually, I think it's phenomenal. I love dialogue-heavy shows with raw realism and I adore themes surrounding the war since some of my senior family members are veterans - 86 represents their mental conditions exceptionally well. I’ve actually seen several military veterans or people associated with military veterans speak of 86 in this way. Really interesting huh. I think someone made a thread on this here: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1964419 |

| I like the first season more. The dialogue between our main cast of characters and the Federacy feels like it's on repeat every single episode. Hearing the same thing almost every 10 minutes is repetitive and annoying. Also, we have barely seen Lena this season. |
| Yeah this cour's been more boring than the first easily. I loved the first season initially, only find it to be decent now with a lack of real world building and nuance there, but at least the 86 characters had some real time to bond with each other and create some good chemistry there and with their Processor too. This cour's had one or two really good episodes and the rest have been... meh. Characters, storytelling, interactions between others, nothing really to be inspired by this cour positively. Only the brief action scenes look good. Do feel like the final few episodes will be better though for the action and 'drama' involved being more intense consistently but the journey to get to here hasn't been my favorite. Especially without the delays, but I am curious about the state of the final episode and whether that too would be delayed or not due to scheduling reasons with another anime and the timeslot there. |
| It’s only getting really killed by the delays, which aren’t an issue when binging. Personally don’t find this boring at all, but it does lack the evocative strength of the 1st cour imho. |

| I liked the first part more. It had more to it than this season imo. This part is generally slow. It seems like nothings going on plot wise even though they’re literally at war fighting like wild animals. I wish they would expand more on the situations between the countries and what lead the things to go the way they are. I believe those will be covered in next seasons though. Overall this part has been a really slow burner for me. |

| The material for this cour definitely isn't as engaging as it's predecessor. If Cour 1 was a 7/10, then this is probably a 6. |

Sb98 said: Everytime someone mentions that part 1/Vol 1 had better characters, I lose couple of my braincells. Like really? Mfs literally saying cannon fodders are better than characters which are relevant to the story throughout 3-4 arcs lmao. Also, the Frederica hate is probably the dumbest thing I've seen from the anime onlies. I've seen much more annoying/irrelevant loli characters in many so-called "masterpiece" shows, and people seem to unironically love those characters. It’s pretty easy for others to see that this arc is dedicated to tackling shin’s mental dilemma. It is much more focused than season 1 which tackled the 86 as a whole through out. I find this good since the anime is capable of developing its protagonist’s character and giving it more depth by focusing on his struggles and inner turmoil. If someone says shin was a better character in 86 cour 1, I would find their statement highly questionable. As for Frederica, I agree. She’s pretty relevant to the story and is played off as a parallel to shin back when he was around her age early on (wanting to chase the ghost of her knight). She has reasons to be who she is. She has her own guilts and regrets. She’s the last empress which ties her to the world building. I have seen way worse cases of lolis being shoehorned into series for much less relevant reasons. Also, her ability to see the past and present makes her dynamic with shin interesting since she can see shin’s memories (the burden he carries, etc) and his present, and she presses shin on the flaws of his mentality and acts as an opposing force to him and the rest of the 86. Last episode was a nice example when shin tells her I told you to close your eyes, and she says I can see your memories cause you carry their burden. |

Giving God of Highschool a 9/10 explains that u aren’t ready for understanding subtle stories or seinen demographic animes . U invest on action animes or slice of life cute girls more than hard dialogue delivered and mainly characters concentrated anime . Even if I recommend u to watch Monogatari series u will end up calling it boring. |

Whenever there was delays I would get relieved because I wouldn't have to watch an 86 episode that week. You could say why don't I just drop it...well I'm this far into the series I might as well finish it, would rather not add to my long af drop list |

I didn't say “its boring and y'all shouldn't watch it either or other bullshit like that” But true I don't like dilogue based anime cause they are boring for me as I don't want to waste time on that type of stuff |
