According to the Republic of San Magnolia, their ongoing war against the Giadian Empire has no casualties—however, that is mere propaganda. While the silver-haired Alba of the Republic's eighty-five sectors live safely behind protective walls, those of different appearances are interned in a secret eighty-sixth faction. Known within the military as the Eighty-Six, they are forced to fight against the Empire's autonomous Legion under the command of the Republican "Handlers."
Vladilena Milizé is assigned to the Spearhead squadron to replace their previous Handler. Shunned by her peers for being a fellow Eighty-Six supporter, she continues to fight against their inhumane discrimination. Shinei Nouzen is the captain of the Spearhead squadron. Infamous for being the sole survivor of every squadron he's been in, he insists on shouldering the names and wishes of his fallen comrades. When the fates of these young souls from two different worlds collide, will it ignite the spark that lights their path to salvation, or will they burn themselves in the flames of despair?
I really love 86. It's one of my favorite anime/light novels of all time. The music is incredible, it's done by the goat himself Hiroyuki Sawano, and the VAs also do a great job, (the person who plays Shin also plays Ayanokoji in Classroom of the Elite). The story is great imo, some people might not enjoy it, but I think it's very good. It is a mecha btw, but it's well worth the watch. I've also started collecting the LNs and they are also very good, honestly after reading past the anime adaptation it gets better and better. I hope if yall watch it that yall enjoy it. Thanks for reading!!
