Let’s get the bad news out of the way first.
I don’t
like 86’s worldbuilding: it’s done very poorly and while some may claim it builds “mystery” or “suspense” for reveals, I’d argue that it’s counterproductive in a medium like anime which progresses much more slowly than readable material you can easily binge. Unless you’re inhuman and watch anime at 4x speed. We don’t learn anything about the Legion or the outside world until the final few episodes really. The only setting we know about is Magnolia, and it’s explored pretty poorly.
As displayed in the story, the “pure-blooded” race in Magnolia is highly valued over the 86, to the point where no actual soldiers exist that are from the main ethnic group. Despite this, we have no investigations or
punishments handed out to the squadron responsible for the mental hospitalizations or deaths of countless officers from the ethnic majority. What? You’re also trying to tell me that of all the handlers the army has gone through, Lena was the only one who possessed a conscience to realise what’s happening is wrong? Hell, being wrong aside, any greedy motherfucker would realise the
benefits of selling out how the army is abusing humans for a big special scoop from the newspaper: I refuse to believe that the Magnolia government has been able to keep a secret this big for this long without the public finding out and eventually caring. The empire is purported as being ruthless and stuff, but we never see Milizé punished for voicing the truth either. It’s all beyond unrealistic in a world that “tries” to be realistic.
And don’t even get me started on the actual war related side of things.

Reviewing the anime's first season, IGN's Kambole Campbell described the show as a "supremely enjoyable portrayal of the joy of sharing a craft. " The review praised the performances as "genuine as they are entertaining. "[64] Slashfilm's Rafael Motamayor writes that the show is "not technical enough to turn the audience or the characters off, but enough that you can appreciate the very hard work that goes into cosplaying. " He also praised the show's English translation as "go[ing] the extra
mile to portray [Marin's] personality through the subtitles, capturing her gyaru idioms and even random gibberish that she says out loud. "[65] Collider's David Lynn praised Gojo and Marin, the show's two main characters, as "simultaneously broadly universal and yet surprisingly complex" with "distinct strengths and flaws". [66] The show did receive criticism by some for its fan service and oversexualization of characters. IGN's Campbell writes that "There are a handful of leery moments that'll take some viewers out of it. "[64] Writing for Bleeding Cool, Alejandra Bodden generally praised the show's exploration of sexuality but criticized some scenes as uncomfortable.
