Lena's character voice is Ikumi Hasegawa (Ikuyo of Bocchi the Rock!).

Just so you know, almost every episode (at least in Season 1) has after-credits stuff. Sometimes half the episode is after the credits. <3

HELL YEAH! FINALLY 86! BTW, I Just wanted to give you a note on these series. The directors leaned a LOT Into visuals, so there's many things they won't say explicitly but that will be shown by some images in the video, background, animation, etc. Almost nothing here is just filler, so pay close attention to all the details you see in the episode, the messages in the screens, even the colors of the led lights in devices. You can miss a lot if you don't put close attention to details here. An example of this happens in minute 7:12, they don't outwardly explain it but the Para-raid creates a kind of "telepatic connection" allowing the handler to connect with the 5 senses of their "targets" which shows in the poster that appears here. But because it's too overwhelming they only connect through hearing. The dates and times are also important in the first half to orient yourself as there will be many time skips to events in the past, present and future.

I’m glad your intrigued. This is based off the light novel which I’m currently reading, very good show can’t wait for you to react to the rest.

Boys our 86 dreams have finally come true

The name "Shin" holds a dual significance, cleverly playing on the word "shine," which means "to die" in Japanese. This linguistic association adds a layer of complexity to the character's identity, subtly suggesting the concept of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. As the story progresses, Shin's experiences and challenges may serve as a powerful reflection of the philosophical themes inherent in his name. His journey might delve into the intricacies of life and death, prompting contemplation on the human condition and the inevitable passage of time. Furthermore, the name "Shin" might resonate even more profoundly with the presence of "Shin-e-gami," the death reaper or "death god." This connection intensifies the weight of Shin's name, signifying the potential burden he carries as a character and how his destiny intertwines with deeper existential themes. In essence, the portrayal of Shin in "86" aligns with the intricate nature of Japanese naming and history, showcasing how names can be laden with symbolic meaning and contribute to the profound storytelling in the anime, novel, or manga.

With all due respect, I think you are finding a symbolism where none actually exists. The author of the original novel disclosed that all members of the 86 fighters who are named in the show have names convertible to kanji, and that Shinei is 真瑛 which means "genuine sparkle," with Shin 真 meaning truth/authenticity. When you romanize, Shin and 'shine' (imperative form of shinu, 'to die) look similar, but sorry - the kanji form of the name disposes of any such possible link. Likewise, there is no connection whatsoever between Shin and shinigami (the reaper).

Oh interesting, I didn’t know this part. And feels more fitting to the story. Thanks for the information. Only learning Japanese myself so having someone with more knowledge is great! This was actually interesting. I hope you can explain similar concepts in the future. Am genuinely interested!

No problem. I'm bilingual in Japanese and English, so I have certain advantages when it comes to these things. Not that I am really good at deciphering euphemisms and such, though! In this instance, I just happened to know about the kanji names assigned by the author to some characters (District 86 guys only).

omg first mecha anime and plot-heavy drama in a long time 😚 the emotions of the characters is so real in this series. just a heads up, the title screen, opening, ending are all over the place in this anime (which I find unique) so always check the progress bar for it! the blood is going to be bearable in this show don't worry ... and someone* shares VA with Yor/Shinobu OSTs so great in this show because it’s from the composers of Attack on Titan (Yamamoto/Sawano)

By paying very close attention, I've found some typos in the on-screen English words, but no impact on the story of course.

Holy sh*t! Here we go! I am so excited to watch you watch it! 😁

I hope that I am not being overly pedantic about this, but because you said that you are learning Japanese, I wanted to share a rule of the Japanese spelling. It is this: when you have a syllable that ends with the ん or 'n', you always keep the syllable and ん together. You cannot isolate the ん, This is why Shin cannot be divided into "shi" and "n" by extracting only the "shi" syllable and leaving the 'n' alone. Because of this rule, a native or advanced Japanese speaker would know right away that "Shin" has to remain "Shin," "Shin" as a whole conveys a meaning, and that any one of over 90 homonymic kanji can be singularly assigned to do that. Isolating only the "shi" part to infer 死 as in death is a no-no by the Japanese spelling rule because you are leaving the ん "n" behind. I hope this makes sense.

86 enjoyers rejoice. This is a great day
