| Masterpiece pure and simple |
| I need more seasons of this. |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| Its next level, Shin Regret, Meeting Lena and Shin, Shin open hatch, some random Legion : No, guess next week we get to see them face to face. Overall its very good episode. The animation and the graphic is high quality |
| Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. If every anime A-1 made was as well done as 86 they could be kings of the industry |
| The production and directing in this episode were stunning. It felt like I was watching a movie. Shin and Lena's ALMOST reunion was so impactful. Hoping for a S2 announcement later on. |
 |
| God-tier episode. Makes me remember just why I love this series so damn much. When Lena makes her appearance and the OST, Voices of the Chords started playing, it gave me chills. Overall 10/10 episode, and I'm hyped for them to meet in person if they even do next episode. |

| this is equivalent to fireworks going off |
| 86 is back, with a bang. I almost teared up and my legs couldn't stop shaking. The best episode with the best direction imo. I love how they used the cinematic black bars to show Shin's emotion and mental breakdown, then it slowly fades away and disappears when Lena came. Incredible. |

| LMAO, as far as overly pretentious directed episodes go, that has to be in the top five episodes ever. Rolling my eyes almost the whole episode. |
| It was definitely good but the delay has been too long and if you bring me that emotional scene right up when I watch it after a few months, I feel that I should've watched it when it is already finished airing so it would be perfect. Still good tho |

| Sweet baby kami's you pray too. After a quick dive into last eps I wasn't sure how after the wait this would end up. But Damn, masterpieces are not always crafted in a day, and this eps bring those feels once more! Pretty sure last eps main girl from last season was involved in the shelling, and this eps she got on battlefield. The communication side of thing between the pair was so well done. I think they managed to reach other and finally were so close. Damn what a tease. This eps was defo worth waiting for! |

| Ngl, was a bit confused on how they directed this episode -- I thought my file was corrupted, but it seems very much intentional. The pacing just felt...off..given the build up - like someone had to jump cut most of this. It also feels like Shinei's art is a bit... different although I can't place what happened. It wasn't bad necessarily, but felt really jarring as it didn't feel at all similar to previous episodes; if I had to compare it felt like...watching something produced by the Weathering With You producers; a lot of moments that were primarily powered by music, but not a lot of events happening... Yet not quite like a wrap up episode either. Just really strange pacing. While it didn't live up to my expectations necessarily, my eyes were BAWLING when they finally finally recognized each other. The entire time I was like yo... Shinei why don't you recognize her? But then I remembered he's literally never seen her before and can only recognize her by their PARARAID. I can imagine the confusion for non LN readers though. One thing I don't really remember though - did he out himself in the source content? I don't remember if he called her Major Realizing that, and the animation of his emotions was just...so hard hitting. Lena's voice was so clear and exactly how I imagined it. Shinei's human/broken side shown full force when he smiled. 8/10 So bitter sweet..and also...maybe it's the hiatus, but I really really felt "how long it's been". And the music just made it hit harder. Favourite episode yet, purely for the feels. P.S. Raiden at the end, did he remind anyone of Archer/Lancer from FGO lmao |

| Lena be like : huh 🙄 can't wait to last episode, next week 😍😍😍  |
| This is what I call absolute cinema. I cried like a baby ngl. |
 |
| I'm crying!!! I wish Lena-chan know it was Shin-kun. Maybe next episode they'll meet personally. I want Lena-chan to know they're alive. I'm crying so much. I'm so happy for them. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| I'm not crying, you're crying. *sob* |
| The show is finally back that was unexpected I just saw the show was ongoing I thought they would've been back in April max well still happy to see this A lot of catching up, it was vague from what I remember but it still gave me uncertainty about what lies up ahead, Now probably the last episode next week we're going to witness. |
  |
| Our opinion is not worth for this episode.. |
| Cinematography is just f***ing GOD tier, I really love each and every shot and portrayal. |
| Dude, what a way to ruin a somewhat heartfelt reunion between Shinei and Lena. Seriously, Shinei's group somehow surviving in the end is so bullshit. Like... hello? Raiden literally took a cannon blast to the face, for fuck's sake. Anyways, another OK episode. I actually liked the direction as well as the visual presentation during the first half but man, the revelation (though it was to be expected, let's be honest) of Shinei's teammates being safe and sound really ruined the entire mood for me. |
| Okay I’m in the minority but 5 1/2 minutes in I paused cursing I didn’t drop it while it was still great. May have gotten “better” as the nonsense dream/psychosis stuff finished but I can’t believe after the delay this is what we got. Gone from a 10 to a 7 tops with this episode. 1 more episode and not excited at all now. FFS. |
| 3 months wait just to see the reunion of Shin and Lena is all worth it! I've been waiting for this part of the LN to finally happen and it did not dissappoint. I'm hoping that we will get a season 2 announcement after the final episode next week. |
 |
| Episode 11 is worth the wait. We now finally see Shin's suffering throughout the series and how the massive burden he carried affects him so much. We finally see Lena and Shin's confrontation but not face to face but still, I am really happy they've met each other. I really teared up at that part of the episode. Overall, this is a really great episode, sadly only one episode remains but I'm still grateful that we got the continuation of the 2nd cour. |
| After all this time I’d say It was worth the wait BEST 23 minutes i’ve ever watched |

| I was waiting for this for so long that this caught me by surprise as I forgot when episode 11 was supposed to air. I'm so glad that 86 is back and this was an amazing emotional episode. I teared up with Major nearly meeting Shinigami. I can't wait for the finale. Edit- Rewatching this episode feels just as good as watching it for the first time. |

| Oh my God, that was fucking amazing. They made the 3 month wait more than worth it. It's rare to see an amazing source material adapted to make it even more amazing. To the directors and A-1 staff, I fucking love ya'll. Only Eighty-Six can invoke these much emotions within me. It's so good to have the Eighty Six anime back, even if it's just for 2 weeks. Eagerly waiting for the last episode for this season and my volume 9 to arrive hehe. |

| AH THE MEMORIES BRING BACK MEMORIES~ |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I read all the light novels that are in English and were release round about the time that Part 1 was ending, so I know what's coming in the story, and will do for a while now. Despite that, man I still teared up at the reunion. I think the months in between Episodes just added to the emotional release. I can't really put it into words why I love 86 so much, but its one of my favourite shows. Its fucking amazing. |
| Loved the background music, Avid(?), when Shin met Milize |
