This is the plot:



For a long time the Republic of San Magnolia and its neighbor, the Empire, are fighting each other in a war between unmanned military vehicles called the Legion, with no human casualties… or so, at least, the official version goes. Outside the 85 districts of the Republic, in an area that is theoretically non-existent, it continues to mercilessly fight the detachment known as the Eighty Six, made up of young women and men. This is the tale of the last days of their hard and sad battle!

Only with the first edition, the free free trial of the month for Crunchyroll Premium is free, to also see the anime!

The first season of the anime adaptation premiered on April 10. The production was entrusted to the A-1 Pictures studio, the direction is by Toshimasa Ishii and the composition of the series by Toshiya Ono, while the soundtrack is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto.
