# Where to Watch 86 Eighty-Six **86 Eighty-Six turns the fiction of an unmanned war into the source of its horror: the Republic hides the people forced to pilot its machines. Netflix carries the complete 11-episode TV entry covered here. This is a serious military drama for viewers who want mecha action with consequences that continue after a battle ends. Its strongest tension comes from the distance between sheltered command and the soldiers sent to the front, along with the propaganda used to excuse that arrangement. The 24-minute episodes keep the story moving while leaving room for fear, grief and the burden of responsibility. The series is finished, so this part can be watched without waiting for another episode.** ## Where to Watch - [Crunchyroll](https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GVDHX8DM5/86-eighty-six) - [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/81442047) Netflix carries all 11 episodes included on this page, allowing you to watch this complete TV entry of 86 Eighty-Six through one service. ## Synopsis The Republic of San Magnolia assures its citizens that machines are fighting a neighboring Empire, supposedly keeping people out of danger. The truth is that the persecuted Eighty-Six have been erased from public concern and placed inside those weapons as pilots. From safety, a young military handler directs a unit whose members face the fighting firsthand. Listening to them exposes the human cost concealed by the Republic's official story, while the unit must survive orders issued by a society that considers its lives expendable. 86 Eighty-Six follows both sides of that divide, pairing science fiction combat with a character-focused account of prejudice, duty and the effort to preserve dignity. A-1 Pictures adapted the story from a light novel. ## Fast Facts - **Format:** TV - **Episodes:** 11 - **Premiered:** 2021 - **Studio:** A-1 Pictures - **Score:** 8.3 ## Watch Order Start with this 11-episode TV entry of 86 Eighty-Six.
