The first half of 86 EIGHTY-SIX is available to watch on Crunchyroll in both subbed and dubbed formats. Crunchyroll describes the story of 86 EIGHTY-SIX as such:

Called “Juggernaut,” these are the unmanned combat drones developed by the Republic of San Magnolia in answer to the attacks by the autonomous unmanned drones of the neighboring Empire of Giad, the “Legion”. But they’re only unmanned in name. In reality, they are piloted by the Eighty-sixers—those considered to be less than human and treated as mere tools. Determined to achieve his own mysterious ends, Shin, the captain of Spearhead Squadron, which is comprised of Eighty-sixers, continues to fight a hopeless war on a battlefield where only death awaits him.

The second season of 86 EIGHTY-SIX is scheduled to begin on TOKYO MX in Japan on October 2 at 24:00 (effectively, 12:00 AM on October 3).
