Synopsis

Nine years ago, the Empire of Giad declared war on all neighboring countries using an army of autonomous drones known as the Legion. Threatened by the soulless killing machines, the Republic of San Magnolia, home to the silver-haired Alba race, evacuated its citizens inside 85 districts and developed supposedly unmanned drones known as Juggernauts to counter the Legion. Even after years of war, the Republic boasts that they have suffered zero casualties. However, the battlefield bathed in crimson recites a different melody.

The hand dealt to the Colorata people—a minority forced into living in the "nonexistent" 86th district—is one of utter contempt and scorn. Looked upon as human filth, they are ordered to pilot the Juggernauts as Processors under the command of Republican Handlers.

Vladilena Milizé, a republican soldier with a strong sense of justice, detests the way her countrymen treat the 86. When she is assigned to the Spearhead Squadron as their handler, she meets a group of oddballs and eventually grows attached to them—particularly their captain, Shinei Nouzen, a boy with a pure sense of purpose and resolve. However, the path they walk is one riddled with death, and growing close to an 86 may have just set Vladilena down a path of despair.

Preliminary (12/? eps)
These light novels are amazing and the anime did a great job of sticking to its material! After watching 86 I had to know what was next and bought volumes 1-6 and I LOVE them!! The story is truly a masterpiece. I love the characters, the action and a little romance here and there.

If anyone finished the anime but wants more, read the LN. Not only do they continue the story but they give some more information and more in depth explanations so you notice things that you missed when watching the anime! It's also a great way to support the project so if you ...

Preliminary (9/? eps)
I think its safe to say that im not a big fun of mechas (you can watch my anime list i dont watch mechas) but when i heard this light novel gets an anime adaption and i read the synopsis i was hooked.

After i watched the first episode i wanted more of it and im not a big fun of reading books, i like reading manga but ...

Preliminary (38/? eps)
I listened to the audio-book, which currently has six volumes out and is narrated by Lena's VA in addition to others. In terms of their performance, they did a great job and I would recommend it to those who like this light novel.

I definitely think that the anime medium is a far better way to tell this story, largely due to the fact that we can visualize the epic battles more clearly (and their stakes), as well as the legendary Sawano soundtrack. It also adds a little bit extra that shapes the supporting cast, which is necessary as the light novels only seem concerned with ...
