Called “Juggernaut,” these are the unmanned combat drones developed by the Republic of San Magnolia in answer to the attacks by the autonomous unmanned drones of the neighboring Empire of Giad, the “Legion”. But they’re only unmanned in name. In real…ity, they are piloted by the Eighty-sixers—those considered to be less than human and treated as mere tools. Determined to achieve his own mysterious ends, Shin, the captain of Spearhead Squadron, which is comprised of Eighty-sixers, continues to fight a hopeless war on a battlefield where only death awaits him.
You should watch it for its squad, its music and a war that hits even harder when each voice on the radio already has a name and personality.
It's a good fit if you're looking for military action, drama, discrimination and young characters.
What sets it apart from other military mecha is the institutional lie: the Republic calls the Eighty-Six drones to claim that no one dies, while Lena hears the erased people on the radio.
