We review 86 EIGHTY-SIX (Part 1). The hype is going strong for this character-driven story set during wartime. This anime uses split perspective storytelling to⁠ force the viewer into witnessing the same situation from opposite sides, and it does it very well. We discuss the story, the characters, the emotions, and where things are headed in part 2 (no pun intended).⁠

We discuss: Is It Finally Cool to Like Anime? Being an Anime Fan Then vs. Now. We take a look at life as an otaku back in the day (we're talking the Adult Swim, Toonami, and 4Kids TV era of anime) and compare it to the current anime industry and weeb community. Let's just say that new weebs have no idea how easy they have it.⁠
