 A television anime adaptation of Asato Asato's sci-fi action light novel series 86 (Eighty Six) was announced during a livestream event commemorating the first year anniversary of Kadokawa's light novel recommendation website Kimirano on Sunday.  SynopsisThe Republic of San Magnolia. For a long time, this country has been besieged by its neighbor, the Giadian Empire, which created a series of unmanned drones called the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties—or at least, that's what the government claims. In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent" Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the "unmanned" weapons into battle... Shinn directs the actions of a detachment of young Eighty-Sixers while on the battlefield. Lena is a "handler" who commands the detachment from the remote rear with the help of special communication. The farewell story of the severe and sad struggle of these two begins! (Source: MU, Yen Press; edited) Dengeki Bunko began printing the military-themed novel series in February 2017. The beginning section of each volume and side stories are serialized in Dengeki Bunko Magazine. The imprint also publishes the side stories on the Kakuyomu website. Shirabi (Musaigen no Phantom World, Ryuuou no Oshigoto!) is drawing the illustrations, with I-IV (Aldnoah.Zero, Re:Creators) credited for mechanical design. Kadokawa shipped the seventh volume on September 10 last year, with the eighth volume scheduled for release in May. 86 has a cumulative 750,000 copies of its volumes in circulation. A manga adaptation by Motoki Yoshihara has been serialized in Young Gangan since February 2018. Square Enix published the second compiled volume last year on September 10. Suzume Somemiya is launching a new manga adaptation titled Gakuen 86 (Academy 86) in Monthly Comic Alive magazine. Yen Press licensed the light novel in English in July 2018 and published the third volume on November 19. The fourth volume is scheduled for a March 31 release. The novel has also been localized in Mandarin by Kadokawa Taiwan and in Korean by Yeongsang Chulpan Media. 86 won the Grand Prize at the 23rd Dengeki Novel Awards in 2016 and placed second and fifth in the 2018 and 2019 editions of Takarajimasha's Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! Rankings, respectively.

| Please be decent, this is a pretty good novel. |
 |
| Feels hyped that it's getting an anime but a little hesistant. |
AnimeDane_yen said: NICE, I planned on reading this cuz it looked interesting, but now I can just watch it. This. I still wanna read it tho. |
| I am hearing praises for this LN in Reddit for quite a while now. Excited for the adaptation! |
| This novel's writing (setting and characterization especially) in general is exceptional. So a seasonal adaptation that tackles volume 1-3 is pretty ideal. Given the mecha-heavy setting, I pray a company that excels sci-fi genre can produce this. Production IG, Sunrise, etc... |
 |
| The best novel of 2017 finally! Finally! I like the one in charge with the designs already, hopefully they find all the best staff. |
 |
| One of my fav LN getting anime adaption is hype. I hope it adapts faithfully to anime. |
 |
ninka22 said: is this light novel harem? No. Is Sci-Fi, Drama, Military, Mecha |
 |
| Wow! I just bought the LN and the anime is announced! I guess I have a reason to try to finish it before the anime comes out now lol |
| I knew this one would get an anime one day |
| The hyped is real.` |
| just read the manga and a bit confused by the story, maybe because it has only few chapters. looking at the score and praises everywhere i believe this one have a really good story. hopefully the production team is great |
 |
| I really liked it, I will read the work and then probably see the anime |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| This is the first time I hear of this novel but everyone seems to know about this work and seems to have a very good reputation, I hope it is true and not another one of those pandering otaku bait with a pretentious history. |
| ohh i was planning on reading this after stumbling across it since it seems like it's actually good only read a bit of the prologue not surprised this got greenlight mainly because the amount of LN trash that gets spit out something decent will end up getting on the big screen regardless now the question is remain ignorant as anime only or become annoyed if it's a butchered adaptation as someones that read the LN most likely the former since i'm still trying to get through testament |

| A-1 Pictures (given their rise in recent works) and airing later in 2020 are wonderful news, looking forward to this even more now! |

| really hope they wont mess this up :(( |
| I noticed this manga like yesterday xd but seems interesting, so i will wait to the anime to be aired ~~ |
| What kind story is it? |
 |
| Well, I hope this LN doesn´t follow the trend of a few people saying is amazing and then turning out to be a huge disappointment. It happened with Mahouka, then Classroom of the Elite, ToAru and so on... It´s A-1, so I hope they can adapt it well. |
aminxd123 said: hahahah you are a funny guy if you didnt read the light novel of classroom of the elite than shup up plz. you cant judge the whole series from a trash adaptation Even if an adaptation is awful, you can get a pretty good grasp of the author's approach in the series, and CoE is a very good example of the word "pretentious". The characters, setup, dialogues and specially the progagonist are so edgy and tryhard with their pseudo psichological thoughts and behavior than most of them look straight up chuuni, instead or being "badass" or "cool". The protagonist who looks like he doesn't care about anything is a gary stu that unlike Tatsuya (the other beloved LN protagonist alongside Kirito) just makes you think that the guy is a loser for trying too hard to be mysterious and intelligent. And no, you don't need to read an entire LN to understand the series itself feels like something wrote by an angry teenager. |
| Can't wait to see "Fucking glory to the Spearhead Squadron" written out on their barracks animated |
