The official Twitter for the TV anime series adaptation of Asato Asato and Shirabi's "86" light novel series has revealed on Saturday its second promotional video and a new key visual for the upcoming anime series titled "86 -Eighty Six-". The new series is scheduled to premiere on April 10, 2021.
The series is animated by animation studios A-1 Pictures with Toshimasa Ishii serving as the series director. The series composition is written by Toshiya Ono, and characters are designed by Tetsuya Kawakami. Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto composed the music. Shirogumi developed the CG for the series.
The cast includes:

The second adaptation titled "Gakuen 86" by Suzume Somemiya which was serialized in Media Factory's seinen manga magazine Monthly Comic Alive since June 27, 2020.
