I didn't get to read the Light Novel, but I've always heard a lot about it. And they recommended the reading a lot, but I ended up putting it off and the anime started before I started reading it, but based on the comments I heard, it fulfilled all my expectations.

I believe 86: Eighty Six manages to work well with the theme, which is a merit of the original work, but I must also praise the way the anime transmitted, as I haven't read the Light Novel, I don't know how well adapted it was, but based on friends Having read it I must say it was an excellent job.
The anime managed to show us the difference between the groups and the discrimination against the Eighty Six. Not just for the plot, but some scenes that are very well done that visually emphasize these differences. And as events progress, we understand the Republic more, together with Lena, and how it seems more obscure than at first sight, and how it itself does not follow the principles of the colors of the republic's flag freedom, equality, brotherhood, justice , and nobility.

The way the characters were worked is also very good, especially among the main ones, even the deaths of minor characters who didn't have as much screen time, even though the impact of their deaths was more for the reaction of the companions than for themselves. The main cast was very well worked, with each episode that passes we see a progression, in which they are very well worked, each time becoming more complete. How events change characters, the relationship between Lena and the Eight-Six, and how both sides change little by little.
I don't even need to say anything about the soundtrack, which is wonderful, as it fits so well in every moment, they knew how to use them at the right times.
Sawano and Yamamoto's songs were undoubtedly perfect for the anime. As well as a wonderful Ending, Opening was one of the things that took me a while to get used to, in the beginning I had a feeling that it didn't fit with the anime, but it started to pass along with the episodes.

86 - Eighty Six was an excellent experience, it was already with high expectations due to the praise for the Light Novel, and it didn't disappoint, the anime only adapted the beginning of the story so there's still a lot of interesting to come, and with part two still far away, I must go to LN, I've said this dozens of times, will this be the first time I'll finally start. If you've read this far, I appreciate it. Still trying to improve my writing as well as my English.
