I still think the anime could have ended on episode 9, 11, or where it actually ended and I would have been more or less fine with it

in hindsight with S2, I am glad it got to where it did, but if it was just a single core of anime, I think it would have been fine
You also got to dodge the fact that the episode after the explosion before lena shows up was delayed 86 days
so they left people on the explosion cliffhanger for multiple months
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak so they left people on the explosion cliffhanger for multiple months
thats insane
Replying to Dane #princelydone I fully expected the 86 five man squad to actually die when they went beyond the borders and for the story to follow the Alba woman. The show really subverted my expectations and then they kept doing fakeout deaths because they cant afford to kill off any of the main cast lol
After the first fakeout, I just accepted the main cast was not dying
I wanted them to do a Lena perspective movie
I agree with her not being in the show at all other than brief instances for the second half, because it makes the payoff more impactful
Every scene she did show up in in part 2 was a great scene so I don't disagree with liking when she showed up
first half of the story was Lena's character arc and saving Shin's brother, second half of the story was shin being saved (from his mental suffering)
So she really did not need to be there, so I respect the show for sidelining her when it was needed
I agree, and I think you could have done the anime following her for the second half instead and still got a good anime, but the way they did it was good still
also iirc from spooky telling me, they changed the structure so much from the light novels, they combined the lena and 86 parts in season 1, those were originally different light novels
86 was something that was written to never have more, but then people liked it so he had to retcon some stuff and continue it
actually image how less good the show would be if the first half was just the 86 and did not cut between them and lena's perspectives
Anyways, 86 is unironically a show I have watched a dozen times, so much so that it is probably the most fresh in my memory show of any anime I like
I rewatch most shows I like at least once, usually half a year to a year later
Thats fair, although 86 has a lot of good detail that you miss on the first watchthrough that you appreciate more on rewatch
My general enjoyment of things tends to go up on rewatch (selection bias because I do not rewatch things I dislike)
Well dane, you watched a good show. If I knew you'd like 86, I would have recommended that when you were asking for anime recommendations (or I did and you just ignored it until now)
If you want my "watch something from this season" recommendation for something that just ended, Depending on your thoughts on fantasy shows, you might like Clevatess
I definitely did not do that, or I was being vague so as not to spoil the story and you took it the way I did not want you to take it
well No*
There are monsters and some of them are powerful, but there is not a demon king per se
Its also not iskeai, its actual fantasy
Episode 1 is a movie length episode, watch the first part of that, you'll know if you like it by like 20 minutes in
