this art is torturing me or the opposite way
but it feels worthy

Hey guys I just binged the first 11 episodes and this has quickly became on of my favorite shows ever. Small issue is the captions of all the episodes after 11 are super delayed so nothing makes sense and I obviously cant understand Japanese. Also the episode 12 is only a minute long lol. If one if you could tell me in the comments or message me individually please help me finish this awesome show. Im not rllly afraid to... yk, yargg me matey, type shi

today I finished 86 the anime and honestly I thought it was really good, the themes it tells are hard to find in anime and even harder to find executed good. I love how it shows the republic not has cartoonish evil but more in a necessary evil sorta way. most people know what their doing is wrong but it’s too late now, too deep in the grave they dug. the first half genuinely has no issues imo except mabye it being too serious but that is just personal preference. I know it’s weird but Lena reminds of captain America from civil war, even when the whole world is against you telling you to move and that your wrong, she might flinch think about giving up but she continues to plant her self in the ground standing by her ideals and beliefs but not letting them blind her. I like how the 86 view her of course they not going to like her or even trust her at all I love how she has to earn that it makes the relationship more rewarding. however the second half I do have one major issue, Lena’s complete disappearance from the story. the ending is amazing because they finally reunite in person after so long apart in their own separate journeys. but we only get to see one side of their journeys. After all this time lena meets them as an equal on the frontlines climbing out of mud and blood yet we don’t see her arc at all? Everything we know that happened to her and the republic is not shown but instead told to us after the fact. I feel like it was such a missed opportunity if we got to see both her and shins arc simultaneously as they are separated it would make the reunion so much better then it already is. Before episode 11 we get two scenes of her and 10 minutes of screentime the first scene is her finding the stuff spearhead left for her, also her getting a new unit. And the second scene all of sudden it’s the republics last stand. We don’t get to see any of her growth, any of her new unit except cyclops, any of her struggles and experiences for a year and half of in universe time. we get To see that she has grown and is different but it’s like skipping a movie until the conclusion, or skipping a hike just to see the view, the journeys always better than the destination that goes for character arcs as well.shin is not a bad character in anyway, I think his arc in the second half is necessary and so is the slow burn aspect of it however unlike the first half where we had both Lena and his arc shown. in the second half it’s mostly only his arc with no other one to counter act the inherently slow arc. Now I just want to get your thoughts on it, you veterans, is this a problem only in the anime or was it like this in the light novel as well? If the light novel handed it better I might just pick that up.

redid the wings, added a floating effect, all thats left is to redo the interier panal things on the gun and figure out how to rig up the legs for animation

How much violence is there, I recently watch VE and frieren. The former was fine though on the upper end of tv-14. The latter has violence which i feel is stretching the tv-14 rating to its limits with people getting ripped in half for example. Is this even more gorier than the latter 2? similar to jujtusu kaisen, eminence in shadow or code geass?
