After a string of delays, the popular sci-fi battle anime 86 announced its return schedule for March of next year. The mecha series, based on the award-winning light novel series of the same name by Asato Asato, features a dystopian army of soldiers treated like drones in a story that explores themes of oppression and marginalization. Yen Press publishes the light novels in English.
Produced by the Sony owned studio A-1 Pictures (Your Lie In April, Sword Art Online, Erased) and directed by Toshimasa Ishii (his first credit as a lead director), the show found immense popularity when it was released split-cour this spring after initial delays. 86 Part 2, initially released on Oct. 3, is currently rated the fifth-highest airing series on MyAnimeList and comes in as the site’s 95th most popular anime of all time currently.
