The Spring 2021 anime season has given us the long-awaited adaptation of Asato Asato’s light novel series 86. This dystopian sci-fi war story interweaves sobering depictions of systemic racism and death on the battlefield with the decadent lifestyles of the Alba and lighthearted camaraderie among the Spearhead Squadron, giving viewers a nuanced look at what life in the midst of a pointless war is like. You can catch new episodes every Saturday on Crunchyroll, but if you can’t wait and you’re looking for recommendations of similar anime to watch in the meantime, here are six anime that remind us of 86!
