lol "It's not always Nazis, sometimes it's LIBS" Between an Aryan-adjacent ethnostate, a soviet-style penal legion and a morally deceptive drone warfare program it's clearly meant to be pastiche of dystopian war themes. There are even Districts. Lena is a 2010 YA novel protagonist. We just need one additional male love interest to complete the formula.

They comment briefly that he runs his mech especially rough which could just be a set up to point out that the 86’s are under supplied or could have something to do with what Handlers experience if they try jack into his senses.

I wonder if perhaps she's also not the only one to have ever raised these concerns because what kind of normal OCS class has a political officer just hanging around to audit the lecture.

Calling it now: the entire war is some sort of elaborate veneer for an ethnic cleansing and the 86's aren't just being dehumanized they're actively being culled. GATTACA and what not.

We've all seen an anime/read a YA dystopian novel before, there's no negotiating with the Legion, they're not secretly the Dutch Resistance in this increasingly strained Nazi metaphor, they're all deadly von neumann probes and the vestigial traces of human thought are there to make them extra creepy. They're going to breach the walls, start killing civilians and we might get some exploration of what does/doesn't justify the murder of the complicit vs the innocent but in the end the 86's will have to save the day and Lena and (maybe) Shin will be left to pick up the pieces of a broken nation state.

I think it’s a touch silly to have not-Anastasia accompanying the career soldiers to OCS but whatever it’s still an anime. I’m curious if we’ll get some more glimpses of a past Reign of Terror and Virtue similar to the shot of the bombed out embassy that further explains how the Imperial heir is living as a ward/hostage of the state.
