Wow. The ending to this season of 86 was powerful. I haven't been so happy for a fictional character in a long time. This show is fantastic. In a year without mushoku tensei, I think it would have been my anime of the year. If the show never gets another season, this wouldn't be a bad place to end it, even though theres still clearly much more to go. I feel like the character arcs finished though. You could probably see the whole show as a metaphor for depression, especially with main guy and main girl. The legion just represents that feeling of hopeless desperation, where it feels like nothing matters in the face of the impossibility of the world, but the 2 opposite main characters both come to find reasons to fight on anyway and through it all even comes a real hope for the future after such a long brutal lonely struggle. Honestly beautiful.

I do have the minor concern that with the characters having finished their growth and development, the show could struggle to stay as interesting on as many levels in future seasons, but I have no real reason to doubt the author at this point.
