Anime’s release date, studio, staff, and cast haven’t been confirmed yet, so we will need more news to arrive. The article will be updated as soon as more information will be available.
Military Themed 86 TV Anime Release Date
As mentioned above the anime 86’s official release date hasn’t been announced yet, but it will surely release soon. The stream only said that they will adapt manga into anime but no date was provided.
The story takes in a world where the Republic of San Magnolia has been attacked by its neighbor, the Empire. Outside the 85 districts of the Republic, there is the ‘non-existent 86th district,’ where young men and women continue to fight. Sheen directs the actions of young suicide bombers, while Lena is a “curator” who commands a detachment from a remote rear. The story of the tragic struggle between these two begins!
