I was dubious at first with 86 and it’s CGI mechs, but boy if the story didn’t completely charm me by the end. It gave an interesting look at an interesting way of waging war.
Where To Start The 86 Light Novel After The Anime?

What to Expect From The 86 Source Material Compared to The Anime?
The 86 anime does a great job of adapting the light novels and making the story as impactful as it should be. However, like any light novel anime adaptation, it does skip a few finer details when it comes to character moments and world building. However, there is nothing skipped that merits reading 86 from the beginning unless you want to.
Will There Be A 86 Season 2?
I wish! However, no official announcement has been made for an 86 Season 2 anime.
The anime adaptation was a sizable two-cour first season, and it gave fans a good taste while ending at a natural stopping point. However, given that the anime ended in 2021, the window for a second season is rapidly closing. While it was a great series, it may not have been profitable enough to merit continuing.
