The complete anime series "86 Eighty-Six" is now available to stream on Joyn. The series delves into themes of war, discrimination, and human value.
Streaming service Joyn has added the full anime series "86 Eighty-Six" to its platform. All 24 episodes are now accessible, offering viewers the complete narrative.
The story of "86 Eighty-Six" is set in a futuristic world where the Republic of San Magnolia is engaged in a war with a neighboring nation. While the official narrative claims the conflict is fought solely by unmanned drones, humans are actually piloting combat robots on the front lines. These soldiers, designated as "86," have been stripped of their human rights.
The Republic's government forces the 86 to fight to protect the lives of the inhabitants in the other 85 districts. Their commands are issued from safe distances, and propaganda is disseminated within the military suggesting the 86 are not real people. In reality, they differ from their silver-haired commanders primarily by hair color.
The narrative follows noble commander Vladilena, who refuses to accept the discrimination and lies propagated by the regime. She treats the 86 with kindness and empathy, despite the widespread prejudice. Upon being assigned to a new elite unit, the Spearheads, she uncovers increasingly disturbing truths about the nature of the war.
"86 Eighty-Six" is a somber series that explores profound themes of war, discrimination, and the value of human life, prompting reflection. It is not intended for those seeking lighthearted entertainment, but is often compared to darker anime such as "Attack On Titan."
