Thoughts<\/b>: I looked forward to <\/span>86:EIGHTY-SIX <\/span><\/i>ever since the announcement for the anime<\/a> adaptation. I had heard of the good reputation that the light novel series<\/a> had with the light novel community, and every trailer only captivated me with its fast, clean animation and epic soundtrack by composer master Sawano. However, <\/span>86:EIGHTY-SIX<\/span><\/i> is more than just a perfect marriage of music and animation \u2014 it\u2019s a storytelling champion with hard hitting theme<\/a>s and great character development.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Major Lena and Captain Shinei come from different worlds despite living in the same country. Lena is a privileged Alba who lives within the safety of the city. Captain Shinei, nicknamed Shin, is the infamous Reaper of the battlefield and leader of the Spearhead Unit. He is a non-Alba, people not even considered to be citizens and dubbed under only a number \u2014 86. His people fought and died on the battlefields for years against the Legion, an AI system that overtook the empire that originally built it. Lena has been commanding units of 86 people from behind a computer screen for years within the safety of the Alba society. When she is put in charge of the Spearhead Unit as their Handler, Shin and Lena\u2019s worlds collide as she is forced to reckon with a perception she has been blind to, and he faces the ghost that haunts his past.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have already written extensively in regards to how the anime\u2019s themes work in the context of the story and real life in a separate article, so in the review, I will not be diving into that particular part of storytelling. Instead, I want to focus on what I think is one of the most powerful storytelling techniques <\/span>86:EIGHTY-SIX <\/span><\/i>uses: perspectives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
