Totally agree on Jormungand. I was especially surprised at how well it actually handled the guns, where guns have realistic handling and bullet physics (like a character surviving a "Shot through the scope" thing because modern scopes has so many layers of glass it is virtually impossible to go all the way through). I think my only major complain is that I thoroughly disagree with the ending of the anime and dont think the plan would actually work as they want it to. But still, very good.
As for me, I really enjoyed Eighty-Six: 86. Essentially, it is the usual "AI is created and then tries to kill all the humans" story at the start, but the main nation shown in the show claims they are fighting the AI (known as Legion) using "ethical warfare" means of pilots remote controlling drones to ensure minimal loss of life. In reality, the "drones" are crewed by those known as the "Eighty-Six", who are those who were left behind outside the walls and condemned to die to the Legion, and offered a chance to become a citizen if they survive a tour of duty......assuming they make it past their suicide mission they are always sent on before the time is up.
It handles the top of discrimination in a way Hollywood and the SJW's WISH they were capable of. The 86 are shown to be just as racist toward the people of the city, even when they want to help (like the new handler of the main characters squadron), as well as being more than willing to attack fellow 86 for having the audacity of "being nice to the 'White Pigs'". But it also shows that the people of the city are not good either and are more than willing to put racism before reason, even when the main characters start finding evidence that some of the methods used by the city are actively making the Legion more powerful.
Definitely recommend, and I think it is still ongoing with new seasons at the moment.
86 was a really cool premise, and it was good enough that I saw it through, but I felt like it kinda got nonsensical as it went on. Like late season Tokyo ghoul unraveling.
