Characters: extremely generic, and most of them are barely have much writing or development. You are supposed to feel sad for characters that you barely get to know
Animation: The best part of the show
86 is a war drama with children soldiers who are forced to fight for an empire that for some reason doesn't want to fight except by sending children to die.
your MC is the typical naive dumb girl who wants to fix everything by crying and screaming all the time.
Your other MC is the typical emo silent sad boy with tragic past that barely talks.
The rest of the show are random asshole kids that somehow keep smiling when they know they are going to die but whenever someone dies they blame the girl MC for trying to help them. Don't ask why and how, because the show doesn't have any believable writing at all.
The mech actions are all the same and they aren't exciting because they just happen to repeat the same characters' interactions over and over.
On the bright side, The animation and art are great. The world-building is interesting even though it's poorly explored.
I hope Season 2 fixes the issues of this show because it has potential but ended up being cliche and rarely makes any sense.
