This wasn't added to the anime but Ernst lost his wife to the Legion, Therese (the maid) was hired by him because she looked a lot like his wife. Also when Theo and Anju are talking about the future you can see a couple walking behind her which looks a LOT like Daiya and Anju, showing a bit of what could have been,which is then again shown in the ending. Also in the LN Shin describes the voices like they are "hurting" for being stuck between life and death. Which also weights on his mind. Also Frederica herself didn't ordered the war, she was a baby back then, but she's carrying the weight of the decisions made by her family.

not criticizing how anyone watches shows, but watching OPs has always seemed essential to the anime watching experience to me lol

The ending song is "Alchemilia" by Regal Lily. I love it. That haunting voice that exudes desperation.....bbbbrrrrr. It gaves my chills. Getting serious, several veterans praise this episode for how they represented PTSD and the mentality of return to battle that much of they suffered. The scene of Kurena when she heard the mechs and for a moment sees his Juggernaut when in reality is something different always get me. Also the dialog of Theo and Anju in the park, when a couple who are lookalikes of Anju and Daiya pass behind her when she's talking about future. arrrggghhh...pain!!!. Federica's character is an oddball because she's seems young and she is the comic relief most of the time, but when she get serious..... SHE GET SERIOUS and the dialog is awesome.

I know what you mean by this anime being too much. It just feels too real or at least the gut wrenching and heart rending emotions feel too real. Like how can an anime provoke such strong emotions? That's why I consider this anime a masterpiece. Every detail is tailored to evoke strong emotions in the viewer.

That ending song never fails to make me cry…and yet I never skipped it. The last bit when she’s practically howling over the equally loud guitar is just SO. DAMN. CATHARTIC.

I feel like the show vividly portrays the harsh realities of war and enslavement, drawing historical parallels such as the traumatic experiences faced during events like World War II and the Holocaust, as well as the psychological disorders that emerged, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. It depicts how the "86" people are forced into the military, enduring prolonged emotional and psychological abuse similar to the trauma faced by survivors of these events. Adjusting to a society free from prejudice and filled with empathy proves to be a huge challenge, akin to the struggles faced by those transitioning from oppressive environments. Ironically, “86” means to designate someone who isn’t allowed to enter a store or someone you refuse to give service to (carrying nuance of ejecting someone, disposing of them, or murdering them). *from the Author of 86* In the episode, the series highlights the struggles of the "broken" 86 group, evoking sympathy from those around them, much like the empathy generated for survivors of historical atrocities. This constant reminder of their "broken" status takes a toll on their mental well-being, echoing the impact of trauma on mental health. For Shin and the group, being the 86 is core to their identity, yet the intense focus on a positive future seems insincere and unfeeling, similar to the challenges faced by survivors transitioning into a new society. Frederica's monologue holds profound significance as she critiques the societal norms that the 86 groups reject assimilating into, reflecting the contemporary struggle against conforming to norms that disregard past pain. This clash of ideologies continues to be a central theme as the story unfolds, mirroring historical and modern resistance to forced assimilation. '86' effectively reflects the psychological disorders stemming from trauma and oppression, touching on the challenges of adjusting to a new and empathetic society after enduring abuse, much like individuals grappling with adjustment disorder. The portrayal of the "broken" 86 group also mirrors how societal labels can affect mental well-being, akin to the identity crisis experienced by many survivors. The show's exploration of the sincerity of efforts to create a better future in the face of past suffering echoes historical and modern struggles for justice and societal change.

I’m an Army Vet who recently just left the service this year. This episode gets me every time because of how close it hits home. I survived all of that and even lost some buddies whose names I carry to this day. Now I’m home. I’ve got a great family, amazing friends, a solid job with caring co-workers. Yet a part of me still wishes I was out there. Warriors aren’t trained for retirement. For the longest time, like Shin, I also had no answer to the question “What are you gonna do after your service?” For a lot of us it doesn’t seem fair to live a good life after seeing what happened to the one’s we’ve lost. It’s a “the more you suffer the more they meant” type of self destruction. It feels like hanging up the cape and moving on from the fight makes you feel like they died for nothing. Even to this day I have friends who I served with who have been through worse fights than me that are thinking of volunteering to fight for Ukraine. Spearhead wanting to get back into the fight even after all that isn’t too far from reality. It took a lot of support and therapy for me to put those names to rest. Everyone thinks all veterans are war-torn violent PTSD patients (which sadly is sometimes the case) but the majority of time we’re just trying to fit back into the society that outcasted us in the first place. We went from living in life or death situations with 20-30 people who you love and trust and would kill for AND die for. Next thing you know you’re back home paying bills and not speaking to any of your coworkers once their 8 hours have been hit. It doesn’t matter how many loved ones say they’re there for you and how much therapy you get. No one will ever understand veterans unlike another veteran. It’s hard for veterans to return to society because being surrounded by the fight and other fighters are some of the only places we’ve felt physical and emotional safety. This show does an amazing job showing that. I hope this helps you appreciate more of what these guys are going through and also spread awareness of #22aday. Approximately everyday, a veteran of an armed force commits suicide. I love that you’re loving this show because of how much it benefited to my healing process and the fact that it’s just so badass lol. Seeing lovely content creators enjoy the same content that mean so much to me is a great way for me to know I’m not alone.

This also ties very well into “All Quiet On The Western Front”, in the book and the original movie the main character is allowed to leave the battlefield and goes home only to find himself wanting to go back. Now all he knows is war and he can’t see himself living a regular life.

A lot of the time babies/small children are coronated while others rule in their name, so I get the impression she was the 'Empress' and the war was ordered in her name by the Generals, which is why she feels so guilty
