Eighty-Six is inspired by Code Geass.
The plot is quite similar except for some differences in the plot.
It's quite similar to how certain people are discriminated.
If you enjoyed Code Geass, Eighty-Six is as enjoyable as Code Geass. The animation is amazing and sound tracks are amazing.
They have a similar kind of general issue involving division and subjugation.
Rebellion. In a world where the human hierarchy has been manhandled to actively oppress individuals of a certain background, so much so, that the common description for a said poor group of humans would be a number, it comes to no surprise that one will rise to seek a rebellion against a loathsome crime against humanity.
Code Geass does this via acts of terrorism against Britannia, conducted by the organisation known as "The Black Knights". 86 is a little more passive, a little more getting to know the environment and how the world sucks for the 86.
But both are good military-mecha anime, so expect flashy action

These anime talk about small militar groups in Countries fighting against big Empires, whose components are called by a number (Eighty-Six, Eleven), deprived of human rights and segregated.
In both cases one of the inhabitants of the Country that has origins from non-segregated families sympathises for the numbers and helps them fight giving orders from remote.
There is mecha, Code Geass’ one is drawn while 86’s one is in CGI, and in both cases it’s excellently animated.
Both are Sci-Fi anime that heavily focus on the themes of empires, domination, segregation and revolution during times of war. 86 appears to be inspired by Code Geass.

Both are war dramas with occasional fanservice and offer ‘alternative’ reality stories about oppressed people. They may or may not be offensive to viewers who are looking for historical relevance.

- they're both mecha anime with lots of cool fights
- both anime feature war and solid world-building
- both involve a lot of political talks
- the main characters are all teenagers
- the main MC has a special power (though in Code Geass it is more important)
- both feature a large amount of racism, in Code Geass its Britanians towards 11s and in 86 it's the Albas towards the 86

social commentary different font. And by that I mean a setting sowhere a European-esque empire colonizes Japan. Both shows discuss the nuances of racism, everyday microaggressions and discrimination, etc.

Both shows have mechas, racism and politics. If you enjoyed one of these shows, then you will most likely enjoy the other.
Both including Mecha / Politically focused stories with interesting plot points and Drama on the way.
Anime mecha, I don't have much to say, just watch it yourself
The opening stuck in my head
Good Anime
Mecha shows which plot overpowers the mecha design. You can enjoy this despite having zero interest on how cool the robots and their movements are.

One of the best drama/action anime that you can watch, a great story, good main characters and a great drama between the characters

Have you experienced a war drama involving corruption, politics, and mech battles? It looks like you have either of these. Regardless of their differences (for example, Code Geass' mechs are kind of humanoid-looking while 86's are insect-based), they heavily rely on horrible battles and conversations whether they're for preparation or arguing. Both protagonists, despite being distinct from each other both in theory and in practice, are portrayed in a stoic and grimdark behavior while being motivated by determination.
