86: Eighty Six
Called “Juggernaut,” these are the unmanned combat drones developed by the Republic of San Magnolia in answer to the attacks by the autonomous unmanned drones of the neighboring Empire of Giad, the “Legion”. But they’re only unmanned in name. In reality, they are piloted by the Eighty-sixers—those considered to be less than human and treated as mere tools.
Determined to achieve his own mysterious ends, Shin, the captain of Spearhead Squadron, which is comprised of Eighty-sixers, continues to fight a hopeless war on a battlefield where only death awaits him.

For me? Well, the best adaptation of a light novel..
An amazing series heralding the rebirth of the mecha genre on its shoulders, with an excellent cast and nuanced themes.
Much more than just, "racism bad." An incredibly directed piece of media that feels like a movie, start to finish.
This is how you make a mecha anime.
Adattamento estremamente riuscito, con una regia matura che usa immagini per raccontare guerra e oppressione
A powerful reflection on humanity, loss, and survival. So moving, brutal, and remarkable. Can’t recommend it enough.
