Legion finally initiated their long planned offensive, effectively lashing out in all directions in the likely expectation of having at least one of its wings find success.
A-1 does get panned at times for some of its work, but episodes like this show just what they’re capable of when given enough money to spread their wings.Īs for the actual events this episode, well, the results speak for themselves. The battle sequences especially were the star of this show, whether that be the detailed artwork on display or the effort which went into showing how utterly vicious and frightening cluster munitions, artillery fire, and the moments before certain death can be. Eighty-Six is already known for its beefy animation, but damn was it nice getting nearly a whole episode worth of eye-candy. While there’s plenty this week worthy of at least passing comment, probably the big thing for me over all else were the visuals. At this stage we may have a pretty good idea how things will turn out in the end – but we also don’t know for whom such fortunes await. After all the waiting, after all the hype, the moment where peace and fragile tranquility transitions into open battle and ominous uncertainty is here at last.
