Niche Gamer [Unofficial]86: Eighty-Six removed from streaming services while Blu-ray sells out

CynicalElysianIt appears that #Crunchyroll has lost the rights to #86EightySix, which means it's no longer available for streaming in certain territories, including the US.
It's possible that the show could get picked up by another distributor in the future, but we don't know that for sure.
FormulaThe creators of the Eighty Six anime definitely waited for me to watch the first season and will now start adapting more of the light novel.
Right?
Arcadiagt5Hmmm. I might get a dessert whilst I’m in Dickson…
Whilst I’m pondering that, please feel free to take a look at the (longish) blog post (yes, those still exist, and I even write them occasionally) I did for the #86EightySix novel series: https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2025/11/27/86-eighty-six-vol-1-13-by-asato-asato/
Reminder: so I wrote a reasonably long post as an overview of the #86EightySix light novels. And in the event that you’re interested, it’s here: https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2025/11/27/86-eighty-six-vol-1-13-by-asato-asato/
With Volume 14 aka Paint it Black of #86EightySix only having been released in Japan a couple of months ago, I guess it’s probably a bit TOO early to complain about there not being an English translation yet…
Oh well, I’ll let it go until August 2026 I guess…
Oh and here’s the 2nd OP Kyokaisen for the #86EightySix anime: https://youtu.be/tA0EEJj4hU0?si=hCppsYLJX0mv85Jw

Oh hey, I wrote a thing: https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2025/11/27/86-eighty-six-vol-1-13-by-asato-asato/ #86EightySix
And, yes, as mentioned I AM rereading #RealistHero as a palate cleanser…
So, yeah, I’m starting to re-read #RealistHero as a palate cleanser from the bleakness of #86EightySix and Liscia has more depth to her characterisation earlier than I thought.
(And I am too, after the unrelenting “And then it got worse. AGAIN.” shitshow that was #86EightySix Vol 13, I need something light and breezy. #RealistHero harem antics should do the trick nicely)
