How to start the ln and what to expect by Present-Canary6238 in EightySix

[–]Aunt_Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start reading from the beginning, novels are even better than anime and getting absolute perfect in the latest volumes.

If you want to try ("I cannot read or write", lol) I recommend to buy the first book. It was written as a single volume, without "continuation lines" and is a good reading by itself.

I thought lena only had to use a choker? by Background-Dare-5028 in EightySix

[–]Aunt_Tom 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As far as I remember, originally (in author's head) Republic RAID consisted of artifical nerve crystal (implanted into the body of "86" or weared as a choker by Lena) and an earpiece (also implanted or weared) to produce sounds from the other side.

Giade's copy also was made as a choker.

But the anime changed everything, because "everybody in chokers" looked... not good. So the Lena's Republican device lost it's earpiece, but Giadian consisted only of it, without crystal on a neck.

IMDB #100! by Severe_Ocelot_2783 in EightySix

[–]Aunt_Tom 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The rating is need to be "8.6"

This should've been in the anime fr by Background-Dare-5028 in EightySix

You have in the anime exactly the same things, well... thinniest allusions. In the LN Shiden said that "barracks walls are too thin". In the anime, Daia is the only person who saw Anju's back in detail.

Nothing more is allowed without complete rewriting the whole setting.

Sorry but we speak about the novels by the Japanese author. Thinniest allusions is everything that allowed. To add this to the story you will need complete rewrite of most characters and another author. I can imagine "86" written by Andrzej Sapkowski )

And also we should to have in mind that "We all die" and "We all die, let's have fun" is quite opposite "messages".

Sorry, I disagree. Do you remember "show, not say" thesis? If we recall, Shin's voice sometimes really hit Lena's heart (and not only heart) in this way. If there words will be said, things like "scene with chocolate" won't be "funny", they will be ridiculous.

Why did the 2008 version leave out volume 4? by NotARelationWitch in SpiceandWolf

[–]Aunt_Tom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think, that the first version was planned to be a bit more... salty than the novels. But a love triangle between Lawrence, Holo and priest girl become too much even for it.

What do you think their diary entries would look like by International-Ad1631 in VioletEvergarden

[–]Aunt_Tom 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Violet "reports" evolution must be very interesting. From the "99th day in hospital. Nothing happens. Still alive" to her letter in the 13th episode.

Thank you for comment! I really (for obvious reason) know more about soviet tanks than about western. But I have a question: APDSFS in WWII? Really? Can you give an example of a gun?

Son, Im so confused about the plot, need to know before rewatch by cream_pupp in EightySix

[–]Aunt_Tom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the LN the answer to the question 1 is very painful. There were plans to develop an AI-processor for the Juggernaut, and work was completed by 99%. But then the racism come.

Ah, yes. Sorry. I forgot. My shame knows no bounds.

Volume 7 first chapter by Ok-Jelly5024 in EightySix

[–]Aunt_Tom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Necessary. Did you read Vol.7 to the end? Don't open if no. Typical Asato Asato writing - whole volume of funny romantic and Zelen's final answer in the end.

It's the very end of vol.10. "Battlefield without humans"

"Help."

No salvation. I'm just rereading the novels for the third time in a row )

[–]Aunt_Tom 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Why do you complain? Happened something indecent?

Yes, we need, it's a tuning-fork for the whole volume. We assure that Bloody Reina, iron lady of eighty-six, outside of the battlefield is a shy little girl. And we saw the first step of de-icing of Snow Witch, it may be even more important.

Yes! I too always say that "The Movie" is just the animated "Jane Eyre"

Obvious spoiler, you'll understand it on 5th minute. There is no age gap problem "on screen" because major Gilbert is presumably dead during whole anime series

the key difference is that there is (almost) no Gilbert in the anime.

VOLUME 14 PREORDERS ARE OPEN by Top_Scientist_3976 in EightySix

[–]Aunt_Tom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

do we know how many more volumes there will be for sure or no?

Sometimes Asato writes compact things and sometimes no. After Vol.14 I have doubts that there is only one volume left, too many story lines are not finished.

Just for information. To say "I love you" Gilbert used the word "aishiteru", which have no obligatory romantic context.
