After previous delays, episodes were scheduled for January
Kodoani.com – The official website for the anime adaptation of Asato Asato’s light novel 86 announced on Thursday that volumes 22 and 23 have been delayed to March 2022 for ‘quality assurance’. The 22nd episode will air on March 12th and the 23rd episode will premiere on March 19th. After previous delays to the anime, the episodes were scheduled to premiere in January.
The anime’s Monday Cour premiered on the 2nd. The staff also delayed the 18th episode of the anime from November 13 to November 20 and the 19th episode from November 27 to December 4 due to “production issues” export.”
Yen Press is publishing the light novel series in English and it describes the story:
The Republic of San Magnolia has long been attacked by drone weapons from the neighboring Empire. To counter this onslaught, the Republic deployed similar weapons, avoiding massive loss of life and impending disaster – or at least that’s how it seemed.
The truth is that there have never been no casualties. The young men and women drawn from the supposedly nonexistent 86th district of the Republic were organized into “unit 86” and then ordered to pilot “unmanned weapons” before going into battle.
The television anime premiered on April 10 and aired in two installments (quarterly of the year).
