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.

Tempted to troll by recommending Valvrave.
Gundam: Hathaway is quite excellent. Adult characters dealing like (idealistically pragmatic) adults with not just the events of the film, but where, exactly, they are in the history and sociopolitical standing of their world.
Others in the thread have mentioned 86, that is a good one. Without spoiling: very interesting setting, themes that get touched on include racism, AI, drone warfare, relationship of soldiers to civilian life.
