    Episode 57: 86 aka "the sad mecha anime"

    Episode 57 show notes Content Warning: This episode discusses the horrors of war, systemic racism, and trauma. Please use discretion while listening. In this episode of the Kinky Nerdy Poly Podcast, M and G dive deep into 86, a mecha anime that explores war, systemic racism, and the human spirit in a dystopian society. G shares why this anime ranks as one of their recent favorites (and why it is their "sad mecha anime"), and M reflects on what makes 86 so compelling with respect to its heavy themes. G and M tackle philosophical questions: What does it mean to challenge systemic injustices? How does trauma shape communities under duress? And what lessons can we draw from science fiction to confront our present-day challenges? Key topics include: What is 86?: A breakdown of the anime's premise, including the Republic of San Magnolia, the marginalized "86," and the robotic enemy Legion. The Role of War and Racism: How 86 uses science fiction to critique systemic racism, societal complicity, and the trauma of war. Character Analysis: Discussions about Major Vladilena "Lena" Milizé's savior complex and growth, and Shin "Undertaker" Nouzen's immense burden as the leader of Spearhead Squadron. Ethics of Autonomous Weapons: Timely reflections on the implications of AI and remotely controlled weapons in real-world warfare. Sources and Mentions from the Episode: 86 (anime adaptation) produced by A-1 Pictures, based on the light novel series by Asato Asato.
