lets goooo one of my all time favorite series. I love that you guys are reacting to this. Enjoy the ride!

Umabo_Tachyon

My favorite anime OF ALL TIME! Enjoy!!!

SecondCityKyle

My GOAT, also there are tons of “post credit” scenes, some of them 5 mins long, they’ll play the ending mid show for emotional direction but watch until you see the title card for the next episode The world is based on a near/alt future Europe with lots of parallels to WW1 and WW2 so you are correct in your design guesses

Sably

During some wars, food rationing is introduced. I believe in Germany during WW1 they were eating a lot of substitute foods that were awful tasting. Instead of coffee they drank fake coffee made from acorns.

Ralph

Always take note of the date stamp overlays everytime they pop up. They’re vital for this show’s chronology.

Kindyh Bordat

What I really love about this anime/novel is that EVERY question you can have are answered as you go further. (And it doesn't feel forced, you just have to be attentive)

Wurzeldieb

amazing show with almost no flaws, the biggest one is that we are waiting for ages for the next season, you join us after you finished it :)

I'm glad 86 won! I cannot wait for the next episode. This first season is pretty good and I'm sure you guy will enjoy it! Also this first opening and ending doesn't have any spoiler so don't worry.

SecondCityKyle

The first opening even has Easter eggs if you pay attention to the group photo and the flower field…

bizarre☆azar

I think the girl in the spearhead squads hair was purple? not white

Rostislav

As a European, it seems to me that various European cultures were mixed together to reflect the republic. The ideas of freedom, art, and architecture are reminiscent of France Some names are similar to Polish ones The name Vladlena was a popular female name in the USSR at the time, consisting of two words: Vladimir Lenin. The command structure is partly similar to the Prussian one (direct command). These are the vibes I picked up on, maybe others can add something.

kinetic98

Hoping to see reaction to 69 which is a prequel series to 86 after this!

ElijahLew

Omg you know how much I wanted this? Thanks you guys I hope y'all enjoy the show!

RCG

Yeah, I also think it’s a different color, even though it’s quite close.

Rostislav

As for the OP-ED, the ending is completely free of spoilers, and theoretically the opening is too... but I think Wes will start scrutinizing every pixel as usual and find some spoilers... so I'm not 100% sure about the opening

Gavern

Just a bit of trivia, but the music is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, the composer for the soundtracks of Attack on Titan and Solo Leveling.

RCG

We just got introduced to a bunch of kids and already lost one of them, and I have a feeling it won’t be the last. This is going to be a sad show for sure. The worldbuilding’s already looking great - super promising.

Mode

YESSS WE DID IT GANG 86-EIGHTY SIX FOR THE WINNNN

Infinite Winds

There's the fake spoiler about the show taking place in Tunisia of all places. But I just watched it and I don't know what potential real spoilers you could even be alluding to

rogueknight

Awesome reaction thank you!

KitKat

Yay, I am looking forward to this <3 :3

Kindyh Bordat

This won't happen, sorry, the ending was alredy perfect, you have to read the books now

Wurzeldieb

I don't think the chances are that bad, it is still selling well, there are rumors and very long waiting between seasons is nothing new

Nejy

I'm so happy you guys are checking out this anime. Few pieces of media have emotionally moved my heart the way 86 has.

maan

finally!!

Marco S.

OMG 86! YEAH! BTW The show starts with train tracks and ends with train tracks: remember that detail for last episode!

2026-10-23 09:00 one thing i find that make me hard to watch this show is how similar the machine on the 2 side is , when the action is very fast , i lost track of who is who.

So happy to see the two of you reacting to 86! It is one of my all time favorite shows. Just some friendly tips: - Please try to keep track of the date when it is shown. It will help to avoid potential confusion. - Another comment had pointed this out but just to emphasize, please be aware that nearly every episode has a post credit scene. So please scan to check for them before stopping the episode. Loved your reaction to this first episode. So hyped to see the next one!

Seán

joined for this show lets go!

JamJamJam

I know exactly what image Wes was referencing about the women, kid, and the execution victims lmao.

Strait Jacket

Ohhh man, I'm here for this ride. Like some others have said, the time stamps are pretty important to help keep track. They also definitely mastered sprinkling small details in that pay off later on.

Renden

It could represent that she is mixed decent; one of her parents was from district 1, but the other wasn't?

bizarre☆azar

that’s true, it just definitely wasn’t the same color. but maybe your idea could be it. I’ve never seen this show, so who knows??

Rostislav

Wow, how is that even possible? They are somewhat similar, but not that much, probably less than the Abrams M1A1 and T90 tanks...

Lucjusz Kusiński

I think they mock her because for them, her kindness is like mockery. "You send us to our death, not even treat us like humans, and now you try to act guilty about it?". Yeah, I would be pissed too. My friends are dying, and you are crying for them, while you are the reason they died in the first place.

John Spartan

It's going be a lot of fun hearing your thoughts on this series. OP and ED are safe, and contrary to what others have said, you don't *need* to pay attention to the dates on screen, it can help in some parts, but you can figure out the chronology through the context of the scene.

Mama Mia Pizza

I cant believe you started watching 86. This is so exciting *\(^o^)/*

Lyraden

I started this show when it was airing but stopped during the time gap where there were production delays, so I never finished the show, but thanks for the tips! I am excited to rewatch a bunch and finally finish the whole series.

mimiyowa

Decided to watch the second episode on my own since it's my first time watching but it was so good that I just binged the whole series in a day... smh. Haven't done that with an anime in years haha

mimiyowa

Note: OP and ED are pretty safe to watch, and post credit scenes are sprinkled either after or in the middle of EDs. I missed so many post credit scenes because I skipped the ED until I read this comment section so do scan for them ^^

Wes And Steph

Oh no!! lol you are living up to your username!

Capt'n Ren

Can't wait to watch all of this with you guys!

Capt'n Ren

OP and ED are safe also there are many after credit scenes. This show uses the ED often for perspective transitions.

Capt'n Ren

Yeah it updates after things happen so it's never spoilers.

papagolfwhiskey

It is an old theatre term 86 is rubbish. Hence get Smart as agent 86

AspiringScholar

I confess, I signed up to support this show (and watch it early). It was a real dark horse for me; didn't expect it to jump up to my top five, then slowly creep up to my first or second favorite show of all time in hindsight. It's been said, and you're already a fair bit ahead, but this is definitely one of those shows that rewards attention to details, I catch something new each time! [Edit] Also, fun note: in addition to the observation that 86 can be slang for "throwing out" or "the left out", the x86 (originally named for the Intel 8086) architecture is the most prolific line of _Processors_ in existence.

Fabien

Also, the term "grand mur" which literally means "great wall" in French.

Rostislav

Same in Ukrainian, don't know it's French word
