Such a good ep!! I'm so excited to see what the rest of this season and the next have in store
R1ZE 4y
Ep was great :3 Lena did a good job
APotato 4y
It's nice to see Lena play outside of the rule
JakobiGaming 4y
holy shit they have no right making this anime so goddamn good! The sound design has been incredible throughout, and I personally think this has some of the best animation of the season. great episode, cant wait to see what goes on outside of district 86.

ps: that after-credits scene was really nice.
lotusprey 4y
I'm not a LN reader, but from some other comments I saw, it sounds as if Lena running after the squadron was anime-original? It felt very overdramatised and I think their parting would have felt more genuine without it.
- Flyh 4y
  I don't think so. And even if it is an anime-original scene, it is genuine because it shows the parallel between the squadron and Lena's freedom. Now, it is time for her to find the true freedom she always needed, wanted.
  lotusprey 4y
  Well I get the message, but it still seems very melodramatic. By not feeling "genuine", I meant that it was theatrically trying to force its idea, instead of giving us a more realistic scene.
  Anyways, I guess it's partially personal taste.
- Zeamays69 4y
  Yeah, I found it weird. I wondered where the heck is she running, it didn't make sense. A weird response at least to me.
  KingDraymond 4y
  She was running to maintain connection with them for as long as possible
  Zeamays69 4y
  They were traveling in their juggernauts. No matter how fast she ran she wouldn't be able to keep the connection, so it was still a pointless thing to do in my opinion.
  addie1998 4y
  She was running towards in thier direction and that was a normal reaction she did since they can't go back and it will the last time they can talk to each other , i would have done the same if it did happen to me but hey if it didn't moved you it's fine ✌
  Zeamays69 4y
  Yeah, it didn't move me. I found it more odd than touching. But that's just me I guess.
  Weeble 4y
  this is just a quick note about the ln's
  
  so there's this cloud fog shit that blocks all radio waves, which makes comunication with squads and such out on the battlefield impossible. which is what caused the Para-raids to exist, while they can't resist the blockage of all the cloud fog nanomachine scrambler shit, they do manage to have communication throughout all the land that's listed on the map
- Weeble 4y
  tbh i'm more of a fan of how in the ln she was just in the room crying
  Zeamays69 4y
  I don't read the ln but I would've preferred that over the anime version.
  Weeble 4y
  yeah the anime just makes it feel overly dramatic and cheesy to an extent.
  
  all the lines are correct though
Flyh 4y
Absolutely perfect.
AoTrash 4y
This anime is so bad the emotional scenes feel like satire
- Thansar25 4y
  My guy you dropped the anime on episode 6... Why are you on an episode 9 thread and complaining about it lmao
BeatleJews 4y
I already thought this anime was pretty damn good but now it might as well be one of my Season favorites.
Your turn now, Oddtaxi
moonspawn 4y
there hasn't been a single ep where OST didn't excel, wow
Goup 4y
This is one of those anime where every episode is just amazing, and packed with content. I find my self looking forward to every single episode.
Agasayan 4y
My overall feelings about this anime is that it is mediocre. But what can I say, this anime excels at is being good in emotional scenes. This episode moved me somehow, even if I did not think that previous episodes were especially good. I feel deep compassion for 86 and it hurts me a lot when I see discrimination and indifference from people safe in towns. It confuses me a lot, how these people can be so blind and dull. I wonder what the final results will be at the end of the season.
- AnimeBestie 4y
  100% agree. This episode was probably one of the best so far but the rest were okay.
Weeble 4y
and that's volume 1 bois, now the question to ask is "how they gonna start volume 2?"

they gonna go chronological? gonna focus on how the ending of this episode impacts Lena?

In the last episode of this cour i kinda wanna see more Lena stuff tbh

(volume 2 chapter 1 spoiler below)
or they gonna start with Shin as part of the Federacy running around the battlefield in the Reinleigf?
PrideRoyalIvy 4y
A very awesome episode. I like all the emotional reaction I seen from Shin this episode.He really love his brother a lot,and he has been so cool this whole episode with his emotional reaction and his personality. Shin is a great character,he only show extreme emotion in rare situation,but he is mostly calm and collected in normal situation or normal dire situation,showing
a combination of emotionless emotion most of the time and a rare sight of extreme emotion from him in rare situations.I love Shin he is awesome.The fight scenes were great and I laugh my ass off when I saw Raiden reaction too seeing Lena suddenly showing up,and helping him and the others.

Anju,Raiden and others did pretty well holding their own against the Legion despite being severly outnumber and outgun,but Lena basically guarantee their survival with her brilliant plan,but overally,everyone did well.

Shin and the others are going outside the 86 district,and leaving 86 district for good,of course because this is clearly a suicide mission that republic set up for them to die,so they can t really return anyway because they get executed if they comeback because they are meant to die here at this mission,at least thats what republic want it to happen.

I am sad too see Lena cry. She is very nice person while she is nice,but she isn t stupid good,hence one of the many reasons why I like her a lot.

I am enjoying this series a lot. 10 out of 10 for this episode.

I already know where Shin and the others are going. Omoshiroi

The plot is going to get better from here,but its too bad,86 part 1 is going to end soon. I have to do more waiting :(

# Eighty Six (86) Ep 10 Screen Shots ~~ A master class of a episode on a series that has been only going up for me, A1 pictures, Hiroyuki Sawano and for sure 86 author Asato Asato deserve a round of applause on this one.

Great episode, but still not feeling the anime. Probably because i still haven't connected to any of the characters .

  well, it is "unknown"
  
  we just havent learned yet
- corban 4y
  The unknown area is outside the border of the country.
  
  The republic didn't have info because they were losing the war.
  Basically the federation territory, now legion territory since the federation was destroyed by them.
eis 4y
The way they made the scene between Lena and Annette was honestly so perfect -. As a ln reader I was waiting for this part of the plot and honestly they couldn't have done it any better.
OppaiEmperor 4y
Holy shit, I nutted very hard! This is definitely my favorite episode of the series. Lena was so fucking badass this episode! I got so many emotions this episode. Great stuff!
AnimeBestie 4y
This was probably one of the best episodes this anime has had so far! Loved when Lena turned dark af and got what she needed to get done. Badasssss chick.
Squortle 4y
That ending OST though.. masterpiece

  they said they were going to go beyond the 86 boundary and explore- go as far as they can go

  If I remember correctly, in the previous episodes, it was mentioned that their squad was an execution ground. Last episode, she found a bunch of briefing documents which hint towards all the previous Spearheads having the same order as their last assigment, that being to go as deep into enemy territory as possible so their death is certain. I'm certain that's what it is.
  
  Edit: just better grammar.
  addie1998 4y
  Remember the order (special recon: into the depths of legion territory) that's why they can't go back
Ryuseishun 4y
I think 86 just solidified itself as my Anime of Spring 2021, if not the year, with that incredible episode.
I understand that Vivy, Shadows House, Moriarty and Fruits Basket Final exists (Oddtaxi is a honorable mention), but this was just something else.
CSkinzz 4y
At the very end of the episode, Lena's PARA-RAID flashed in what looks like morse code, but I have absolutely no idea how to read morse code nor have I been able to figure out how. Anyone know what it says, or if I'm just stupid?
Varecio 4y
lmao how does a bruise transform into a scar?
giaa16 4mo
All I can say is: BRILLIANT!

Then the ending with the 5 birds flying over her head and far away and then eventually disappearing one by one.

"I advise you switch off, as they'd probably not want you to hear such an embarrassing side of them"

Glory to the Spearhead Squadron o7 (That goes for Lena as well)
