>anime/manga about an oppressed race >they're just white people
We truly a society
Is this actually good? It's supposed to be one of the "good" LNs, I have read.
>>288780860no
>>288780860its like snk but good
>>288780860Yeah it's pretty good.
>>288779947So accurate. Nice try, jew
>>288780977but snk was good?
>>288781587in 10 years at least
>>288780860it's mid
>>288780860Haven't read the LN, but the anime has fantastic direction. A big part of the story early on is characters in very different situations communicating by radio and not really understanding what life is like for the person on the other side of the call, sometimes meaning that you see the same conversation twice but its a very different conversation thats being had in the two scenes despite the dialog being the same. It can get melodramatic but in a good way, the situation as described deserves melodrama and the world grows in an interesting direction in the second season.
>>288780860It gets pretty preachy at times, especially towards the end but it's pretty entertaining for the most part.
>>288780860no such thing as a good ln
>>288779947>oppressed raceWho are the Alban Oppressed??
>>288780860It's pretty good for awhile, then starts to drag and gets pretty mixed. The anime is excellent, though.
Any new updates about the novels? I seem to recall hearing that Asato Asato, the writer of the LNs, is planning to conclude the story.
>>288779947>86>white
>>288779947>War... IS LE BAD!!!!!
>>288780860Yes, it's a good LN, in fact a very good LN, one of the best LNs. *hint hint* *nudge nudge* *spit slap**kick punch*
>>288779947Such an annoying premise. It wants to say something, but just can't help but muddy the fuck out of everything with ridiculous garbage. >oooouuughh all this injustice is making me so sad>ooooooough all these dramatic character deaths are making me so sadFuck off. The world is cruel and unjust. Deal with it or die.
>>288780860Every response to this question is correct.
>>288779947Irish? Italian?
>>288787046WAR GOOD NOUZENSKYIV GOAT
>>288787046That's not even the point of 86. >>288780860It's definitely one of the better LNs. The anime has Sawano, and a lot of the cuts are good, especially in the latter episodes. 86 are just the groups of non-ethically notFrench/notWeimar former citizens of San Magnolia who ended up in concentration camps and forced to fight AI robots created by the notGermans/notJapanese by piloting a bunch of deprecated mechs. The social setup is kind of setup like Code Geass. Their squadrons are led by a bunch of lazy San Magnolians, aka the white pigs/frogs, who don't take the war seriously because they're so far removed from the actual battlefields (they use networking and radar systems to get a read on the battlefields, and relay information from the city to the 86s). This is done in promise that the war is going to end in the 6th year of fighting, since the Legion were supposed to all be disabled by then, and the 86 would have regained their freedom. There's also limited to no contact with other countries, so it was widely believed that San Magnolia was the last bastion of humanity. The 86 keep fighting, but the most successful squadron is led by Shin the MC, who is ordered by Elena, the FMC. Really cool mecha designs, good fights, good ost, decent characters.
>>288788102Basically anyone who isn't Alban (white haired, white skinned, blue eyes) are oppressed. There's even a female character in the 86 camp who is half alban or mostly alban (?), who has purple eyes instead. But Albans are based on the French and Weimar Germans. So there's some would-be British, Irish, Italians, Germans, etc., who are all in the 86 camps.
>>288787046Yes, but irrelevant. >>288787678Ow, the edge.
>>288788342I'd rather have edges than be a sanded down featureless little fucking orb. Fuck you.
>>288779947>because white people were never oppressed in history
>>288780860anime is really good, biggest drawback is it gets too preachy at some minor pointsvolumes 1 to 7 are one of the best things you can find ln wise, after 7th volume it jumps the shark a lil bit with each volume and the 86/MC wank becomes much more noticeable but it is still good enough overall I'd recommend you give the anime a try at least
>>288780860I dropped it after around 6 episodes when it aired, went back after seeing how much people praise it, and I came away with absolutely no idea what the appeal is. There were moments where the execution was good but the underlying story has nothing to get excited about.
>>288780860It's just decent. Nothing amazing, but it's not bad either. The LNs start to drag after a few volumes and in my opinion they never focus on the things people care about for more than a minute or two.
>>288790241If your country was ever oppressed, it isn't white.
>>288792410Leftist commie reasoning
>>288791299checked and fairly similar journey to me, I also dropped it after maybe the first major plot twist in the first 6-8 eps, than went back to finish. I liked Gundam 00 more than this for a similar narrative/mecha
>>288787678Source?
I liked it for the cute skype romance between the MCs, and the drama and energy arising from the characters being in a shitty situation. The overhead plot was retarded and I don't care about mecha.
