| Some corny lines and scenes there and there but a somehow bearable first episode, hope they do something interesting with the new introductions. The Lena's personality progression was interesting to see, and the introduction to the contraposition of the republic too, even if it was way too much on your nose by my liking |
| It's awesome seeing 86 back even if it was just a one season break without it. The new opening is fantastic and I've really missed those a-1 pictures visuals lol. Frederica could be a hit or miss character as of now |
 |
| So I essentially binged all of 86 1st cour in 2 days. I knew it was going to be good but it surprised me. I'm excited to see how this 2nd cour turns out. |
| A good episode. New characters and expansion of the world; btw the opening is very good too! |
 |
| Damn, Lena acting like a proper military commander? It was being about time. Also, of course Shinei is alive and kicking. All his teammates surviving with him was slightly disappointing tho. Especially since I really want the tsundere to die. Overall, decent start for this second cour. Lena going full "fuck the system" sure was pleasant to see and some new characters got introduced as well. Ernst is the living definition of "fishy" and it seems Frederica will be particularly relevant for the story so I guess I better start getting used to the idea of having a loli empress in this show. P.S.: Shiden is hot. Hope she has the same plot armour Shinei had in season 1. |
| Holaaaaaaa, well I'm going to give my opinion on today's episode, the truth I was delighted I was waiting for this sequel of 86 I was excited to see Lena and the guys, I think this season will be very interesting and I can not wait for the other episode!. Speaking of animation, I thought it was impeccable maybe it is new to many of those who think here but for my taste it is looking very good! :D What surprises I take in the chapter the fact that you have to endure the voice of the girl that is already a single headache xD, Lena being firm to her way of thinking seems good to me, and well we just have to wait to see what will happen in the next chapter. I translated everything in case you notice failures or if you see that what I say does not have much coherence, do not hesitate to correct me :p. |

| That was a very good first episode, hoping for more quality to follow. |
| Even though this is a 2nd cour, it feels like a whole new season. Milize is now the bloody queen. And dame she's hot with that red hair highlight. Six months after her last goodbyes, she's now raising the next squadron. On the other side of the world is the Giad Federacy. A place with people of all survivors of the aftermath of the end. The president guy seems to be repenting for something like a past mistake, and this feels like he united the country to correct. Also Frederica is haughty but defo lil sis material. She damn kyute and voiced by none other than the loli voice queen Misaki Kuno. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Love the episode. Looking forward what will happen next. The Opening Theme song and visuals are amazing!!! I love amazarashi's song『Kyoukaisen』!!! along with the beautiful visuals it's perfect!! |

Lelouch0202 said: Edit: Maybe I asked this last season, but why has no one attempted to use aerial power against the Legion? Do they have strong AA or something? Do you remember that small butterfly machine the legion use? Yeah, apparently they are small enough to be sucked inside jet engine intake (propeller too) to damage the engine. Those small butterfly prevent any flight on high altitude, while the massive land AA make it almost impossible to fly on low and medium altitude. Kinda like Egypt and Syria AA strategy to counter Israeli Air Force during Yom Kippur War (replace the butterfly with long range SAM). |
borderliner said: I found this whole conversation pretty interesting Especially in the context of how we in the West treat immigrant children.  Is this something that was highlighted in the LN or is it specific to the anime? LN also highlighted that. The summary for Ernst way of thinking is basically: If humanity act like barbarians that kill just because of fears and only thinking about benefit, then all of humanity better go dead and extinct. |
| My weekly AoT compensation :D I love it and i can't wait for next week!!! |

| That lemonade looked refreshing ASF So Lena gets a red streak of hair and suddenly this anime becomes actually good (I mean it was already good but I personally was bored during the first cour) and after 11 episodes of thinking Lena was "meh" at best, I find myself simping hard out of nowhere. Was happy to see characters I didn't even care for before. I still our main squad of outcasts kind of flat in contrast to the type of anime they are in, but hey maybe this is where everything begins to flesh out. Liking the new op as well. |

| Why is it marked episode 12 and not episode 1? |

| Oh my God that was a fucking amazing start. A-1 truly doing Gods work with this adaptation. I loved the first cour so much that I read up to volume 7 of the LN even though I have never dived in a LN before, now it's one of my most favorite series. A-1 really knows what they're doing with the show with the anime original scenes enhancing the source material even more. And of course we finally got the Bloodstained Queen/Bloody Reina/Bloody Regina in the anime and also Shiden/Cyclops. I really like how you can tell how hard Ernst is trying through his voice when talking to the spearhead squadron, like he really is compensating for something like he said. Didn't know Klee was gonna be the one voicing Frederica though, unexpected but welcomed surprise. And of course last but not the least that OP was amazing, shit made me tear up. Really glad to have 86 Saturdays back (well it's Sunday for me). Super excited for what's to come. |

GGcc78 said: Quick question abour Reina being called Queen, I thought she earned the Bloody Queen nickname because Did I miss remember and she actually earned it after Shin left and before what I mentioned in the spoiler? Either way, great first episode. I was sort of worried about how they would handle the absolute lack of Lena in the 2nd and 3rd volumes but it's good to see them working their anime original magic once again. It happens before the spoiler, and as to what happened, |

NGL its a solid episode to kick back off after the first series, really hope it develops everything well. |
| Surprisingly a pretty strong start. Disliked the last few episodes of the previous your/season cause the story around Shin's group was boring. Though it ended with Lena - which was a bit more interesting. They continued with her ... and then went to Shin - and there it actually started to get really good. Liked the Ernst guy - nice personality. (Though he seems to have some evil look on his face every now and then.) I guess he was part of the guys that overthrew the previous Empire - adopting the successor to the throne (that young girl that had been called "Empress"). |
Lelouch0202 said: The red tint in her hair is quite interesting, definitely a stylistic look but I'm curious if she did it to represent something. It could be just me reading into it too much but I think she wants to differentiate herself from other Albas and show more protest towards their discrimination against Eighty-Six citizenry which does boil down to hair color. |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| It's good to see Anju. :D |

tensai95 said: Shin already raised the possibility of survivors more than once in the previous cour. This is more on exploring that possibility. Ah yes, lemme guess, expository-chan said it was possible, because it was possible, not because he had proper evidence to support this kind of theory. In simpler words just bullshit to support bullshit anime trope. tensai95 said: Giad was also mentioned multiple times in the previous cour, but it was mostly referred to as the empire and the president here distinguished themselves as being different from the empire. Nothing sneaky going on, just had to pay attention imho. Also way to try and swipe against others. You could have posted a screenshot where it actually backs up what you just claimed the show did. Not that I don't trust your word (pst, I actually don't trust your word nor anyone's word that uses the same one liner of U jUSt hAVe To PAy AtTenTiOn) I also don't understand what you imply with "swipe against others". Who are these others you speak of? |

| What a great start, liked the visuals and the op, hopefully they can keep this up! |
| A great first episode! In all aspects it is an anime that stands out, history, animation and Hiroyuki Sawano's music that, as we are used to, is great. Delighted to see that the squad survived :D and to hear Saori Hayami in Anju's voice again! In addition, I find that expansion of the story very interesting, opening a new front, new possibilities and elements to rethink the first season :O Undoubtedly an anime that will be worth waiting for each week. Btw, the opening is beautiful ^^ |

I thought it probably had, thanks for confirming. It's a nice swipe by the author at contemporary society I approve :-) |

UTMAN said: He had evidence.... cause he stopped heearing the legion from beyond the eastern front the Legion so that means the legion there either moved away or got defeated. So that means there might be someone out there in that way. Do you want screenshots from this also? And here is the mentionign of Giad in the 2nd episode of season 1: https://imgur.com/6EOPmhI Thank you, you are proving me right on my statement that expository-chan was right "just because he says so" and we must believe in Shin's incredible superpowers without any doubt. Also, thanks for the screenshot, it also proves my point that it was hidden or at least not framed in a proper way to be absorded unless you're the kind of freak that watches the show with a notebook at hand and visit every single wiki and fanpage to expand the knowledge of this world that's not presented in the adaptation. |
