Day 6 of Otakutober: Don't Forget to Double Tap! Luna's Anime team for the Apocalypse

If there’s one thing that I’m always thinking of in the back of my mind, it’s the Apocalypse. In particular, the Zombie Apocalypse. Being a kid growing up in the looming era of 2012 (aka the end of the Mayan calendar) a lot of our conversations were about how in the world we’d survive the inevitable apocalypse. In particular, the zombie apocalypse. One of the most common conversations was about…

NOT the technical end of the story as i think theres a million more light novels to cover, but since the s2 end feels definitely complete in its own way id figure its worth talking about

86-eighty six is pretty good

i wouldn't go as far as saying 'all time classic/must watch' or anything like that, in part cause i tend to restrain from those assertions and in part cause i dont think it really breaks that barrier of 'landmark' at the end of the day. its conventional but its a good solid conventional that does what it needs to do in telling its story.

- the parable/themes at play do kinda bludgeon over the head, the republic becomes the way it is because a war with no personal cost or investment breeds complacency well the actual people fighting suffer extensively. the republic exploits racial barriers to generate stability at home by othering the population its literally throwing into the meat grinder, a racial divide explicitly between the white haired pale skinned republic ethnonationality and the more ambiguous and multi racial 'coloreds'. visual metaphors about how the republic makes efforts towards appearances as a tolerant empathetic democratic state well really its rotting from the inside into a classist fascistic dictatorship.

- point being, well its definitely a bludgeon i think it generally works in this case cause the narrative isn't trying to be subtle about it. this is the situation, it sucks, yada yada. its that it takes the opportunity to play off of these themes and evolve in a narrative sense instead of just relishing in the abject misery, it even takes the opportunity to play with the audience a little bit by having its s1 central focus be a character otherwise sympathetic to the '86ers' plight but ultimately have her challenged about her own pre conceived biases subconscious as they might be. that is, i appreciate that 86 has something it wants to say as opposed to just dropping a shit sandwich on the floor.

- well i would have loved to see more of... liza [i dont remember her name cause its a bit of a mouthful unfortunately but she is a good character] and her s2 fight against the legion, i think pulling away from her to bottleneck on shin and his perspective was a good idea. s1 hes more so intended as a mystery so well we do get insight into him, id say he didnt quite feel like a character yet. s2 arguably rectifies this with it mostly being about insight into shin and his struggles with guilt, trauma, and detachment/disassociation [and the 86ers in general coming to grips with desires outside of just making it through the next battle].

- its pretty well produced. conventional looking as all fuck, but it puts the budget where it needs to and its spider mech battles are generally competent integrations of cg/drawn animation. plus the spider mech designs are snazzy and sharp to look at, and there feels like a genuine effort to be artful and take advantage of the animated medium here.

- i love the s2 twist that the empire isn't even dead but instead just got 'revolutioned' into the federacy sometime ago and now no one can turn off skynet cause the empire assholes in charge were colossal assholes.

- well the legion on their own dont quite work for me, i love the horror involved with the shepherds and how the legion as a whole are used to reflect on and illustrate aspects of shin.

- musics pretty nice, felt actual emotion anyways.

After seven years... the first video I upload isn't even about Gundam SEED/Destiny. Still has mecha in it though. Also, I haven't done any video editing for the past years so please excuse my poor editing and enjoy the video!

They are no longer in the 86th district. ;') Disclaimer: I don't own the material used in this video. They belong to their respective owners. This is purely fan made by a fan, for fans.
