Transitions in 86 Eighty-Six are incredible

[@SamCyanide]

This show is a cinematic masterpiece. Extremely slept on

[@paulwin9036]

I'm one of those snobs that complain when most adaptations fail to properly adapt written media to the big screen. Yet, 86 has been one of the very few shows where, imo, the adsptation goes above and beyond the original and only serves to improve upon the original. It's directing was incredible and the team responsible at A1 really deserve all the praise they can get. There is almost nothing I could fault about this adaptation,

[@dreeary9475]

Anything that is popular and went beyond its original all are legendary master pieces.

[@saxor96]

One thing of note is that, in the first volume (and maybe the second one), the transitions were so sudden that you had to read a paragraph or two to realise the scene had changed. This has somewhat the same feeling.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

This was most obvious with the first one. Especially since unlike some other LNs, there isn't some space or marking to indicate a transition.

[@hunterstarmech]

You mean that you ended up reading a paragraph before you realized?

[@saxor96]

@@hunterstarmech sometimes, yes.

[@Jknight416]

Toshimasa Ishii, the director of the 86 anime, definitely deserves an Oscar award at this point. Not only has he done a great job at sticking to the original source material from the LN while adapting the story of the 86 into an anime, but he also manage to connect all the scenes together beautifully with these transitions. And it’s rare anyone pull that sort of thing off when adapting a LN into an anime.

[@FireBlueZ]

The director did this anime really REALLY well. It's a masterpiece

[@gjcuriel01]

Agree 👌

[@carlosfaro4008]

The fact that this is his debut make me really excited for him in the future

[@manishthakurdesai9444]

Truly a masterpiece!

[@Jknight416]

That man definitely deserves an Oscar awards for pulling off something like this while still sticking true to the original source material from the LN

Man all those transitions are great. I really hope we get another few seasons, after reading the light novels i so want it all animated!

[@fluffyisyermom7631]

Even an incredible anime like 86 won't convince me to come back to anime. The fact that this is a giant ad to read the stupid novels infuriates me and makes me not want to engage with Japanese content.

[@earthwormsally2075]

And if I'm not mistaken, this is the first big project of the Director of the show which is fucking insane considering how good they managed to connect the episodes together

[@tigracholoki6078]

This director has left a good impression then.I Hope the best in his career.

[@Karuiko]

It's also the first feature length novel that the author has written as well.

[@user-ju2jt8yh3i]

@@Karuiko That's... Usually the case.

[@Xeevv]

@@user-ju2jt8yh3i Not often it becomes this popular though. Volume 1 was meant to be a standalone and complete story that was submitted for a light novel competition and was successful enough that it started a really popular series, I think that's pretty impressive.

[@Jknight416]

I hope he come back to work on the next season of this anime whenever that comes out.

[@Quarataia]

I really hope they can reassemble the same staff for the eventual season 2, this phenomenal work must keep going.

[@ghostboy_0taku460]

Episode 7 is one of my favorite episodes mostly because the fireworks had so much meaning and the music just blended everything together, a true masterpiece.

[@anggasatria8813]

Oh man we both on the same page on fav eps

[@rico653caines3]

Fr Fr

[@4sety]

I almost cried at ep 7. All that stuff put together hit like a nuke

[@ekdavis]

Those first few transitions where something like dropped/spilled food transitioned into someone getting shot or the sounds of the battlefield were so shocking for my brain - I wasn't expecting the sudden shift to violence and loss, and that's exactly what the lives of the 86 are like. I also think it's a brilliant way of showing how the most mundane things could remind a soldier of war (spoken with full awareness that I have not experienced this, so I apologize if it's inaccurate to someone's actual experience of this). Also - thanks for compiling these! I always thought the transitions were amazing, and this video helped me notice ones I hadn't appreciated as much!

[@mobi8046]

The transitions are amazing but the fact that it's not the reason this anime is my favorite is even more amazing

[@constantinochen6653]

I laughed so much at eugene's transitions, he tops the rank as an anime character that raised so many deathflags within 5 seconds

[@darkace0387]

1:50. That transition is so neat

[@Nayo_The_Mayo]

He did the dude perfect thing

[@DragminerFerdinand]

LMAO the slapping part!

[@isziahs5951]

@@Nayo_The_Mayo lmao

[@carlosjosealvarado2023]

I think one of the transitions that hitted the most was Fido's memories. That was brilliantly done.

[@rakovkova2091]

2:28 is my favorite. It makes me think that she will speak up but the transition broke that thought. I love it

[@supermarketone]

I'd say 86 is A-1's best directed show, and in competition for best show that they have done. (with kaguya)

[@carlosfaro4008]

YLIA can compare too tbh

[@Latinkon]

Details such as how much effort was put into making these transitions for the anime adaptation of _Eighty-Six_ really puts it above and beyond most Hollywood live action movies nowadays.

[@vjd897]

I didn’t even notice the last transition when I first saw this but this shows how much detail in the the little parts they’ve put in 3:33

[@dreeary9475]

2:26 that transition if Shin with that raindrop on the window simulates Shins tears is just amazing.

[@justincholos.balisang6884]

The anime would've turned out very average if it wasn't for the genius that is the director. That guy was an assistant director to almost all animes animated by A1 Pictures. And of course, I'm not just talking about the transitions.

[@jackjulius4814]

True but 86 light novel its really really good so i dont think they/author would allow "incompetent" Director to direct it Personally i think the reason this anime turned out great because everyone contribution the music, the animation, the philosophy, even the author (because the author participate at all meeting/discussion ,idk why but usually the author or mangaka isnt involved or isn't heavily involved when making the anime) so yeah great anime and everyone in the producing team did a really great job even though covid happend.

[@Charlie98144]

@@jackjulius4814 I don't think the author has a say in who directed it. The author gets a contract to sign off permission to use her work. Highly doubt they asked hey, which director or studio would you like to work with. It is probably one of the rare times we see author actually have a say in how it was made. Usually you hear about directors chopping off a necessary volume or detail and the author being pissed.

[@jnykpnt]

For real. I mean the source material is pretty good in itself but can get fucked up if the staff behind the adaptation is incompetent. The direction not only in transition, but voice acting, and even the sounds really does it wonders

[@Letmeleave2000]

The transitions are one of many things I love about 86 😩

[@gagefisher4785]

Man, there were some many moments that had me on the verge of tears, but the ending...man, that ending was perfection. The song, the flashbacks, and way the shadows of Shin and Lena's hands form an 8 and a 6.

[@zerarose]

86 one of my favs hands down. everyone should read it as well.

[@immy3508]

I love this animu cos the author and the director actually communicate on how they should do the episode and as a result, we get a masterpiece. :)

[@joyc.e.7511]

I seriously love that, no wonder it came out so well. You can feel the author's intention when it comes to what emotions and themes she wanted to be conveyed. The characters feel like they have real emotions in every action they perform. Especially Shin. I was worried he was gonna be the usual apathetic male lead with zero emotions but he was much more than that.

[@nesha_owo]

the transitions really showed the contrast between scenes like dammmmn, this anime was so well-done sheesssssh 🔥🔥

[@Letmeleave2000]

I was gonna say 1:35 was my favorite, but I came to the conclusion that half of them are my favorite

[@imrekalman9044]

That slap is my favourite moment in the series.

When creators coordinate their projects in absolute precision.

[@bagast.8133]

[@bugrazer5521]

Child Lena slapping Shin's big bro into dud artillery shells hitting is just perfection

Binge watch this after watching 3 part analysis from 86, and looking how much the director put details in this is amazing! Thank you for sharing this! It's supeeeer hard to move on from this series bcs it's perfect😭😭😭❤❤❤

[@theodore23sanchez]

If the light novel had been published in the West, 86 would probably that very deep YA dystopia novel every fangirl would not stop talking about.
