No. 6 Series
Tagged under Asano Atsuko, BONES, Series.
Within in an" ideal "city known as No. 6. Shion, a boy raised in
the elite and privileged environment of his home, gives shelter to another boy, who only gives his name as 'Nezumi’ literally meaning mouse or rat; on Shion’s 12th birthday. After
spending a rainy night with his new friend, Shion discovers the next morning that Nezumi has left and disappeared
without a trace. Four years later, Shion experiences many weird incidents happening around him in which a deadly
infection by parasitic bees causes its victims to age rapidly. A co-worker of Shion is one of the victims and Shion is
arrested on suspicion of murder. While Shion is being transported to the Correctional Institute, Nezumi appears and
rescues him. From that point forward Shion begins to find out the hidden truth behind No.6.

Absolutely amazing. The characters, the plot - oh the plot, I love you long time and your depiction of a dystopian
society. This anime ranges from moments of adorableness, "Oh my god, what was that?!", and "holy crap,
that was the most intense thing in the universe". However, I wouldn't recommend this anime to anyone who is not
fond of Shounen-Ai. While the anime is not marketed as such, a few episodes in, you'll notice the interestingly romantic
chemistry between the two main characters. As a big fan of Shounen-Ai, I was more than pleased at the relationship
between Shion and Nezumi, but it's not for everyone.

One thing I can complain about? The ending. While it was good and provided a satisfying resolution, the supernatural
elements of it didn't mesh perfectly with the technological aspect that was prominent in the entire anime. Not to
mention that while the supernatural element was mysterious, it was too mysterious for my tastes. More should've gone
into explaining it, so that people who watch it for the first time don't start quirking their eyebrows.
Originally started with the manga version, but it was going on too slow. The overall story is good, and there's an
interesting plot behind it all, but it all progressed a little too fast. There could be bigger detailing about Eliulias
(?), the parasite bees, the organization of No.6 itself and the Forest People. Also, I was quite surprised to see that
Bones kept the kiss scene, even though their love was never quite developed throughout the series (trying not to let out
too many spoilers here XD).
Overall, a sci-fi anime I enjoyed. Something that doesn't happen all that often.
- Everything I was looking for in an anime... i got it partially with No.6 ♥ (but Shion had to ruin it out/mobbed)
It's such a lovely series ♥... It have a sort of melancholic air... and listening Rokutousei no Yoru by Aimer which is its ending makes everything so saaad to me ;;! Even so I LOVE No. 6 so much ♥!! I could say it's the anime that made me scream the most in so few episodes ( = w =;;; ♥ hahaha/shot. I haven't read its manga yet but i'm planning do that.
* I love Thriller + shounen ai/yaoi/orsomethinglikethat + angst + ♥ I don't know what's wrong with me but things are like this (= w =;;;
No.6 story is possible to me... credibly i meant. The Government absolutely would hide information from us (and it's doing it) ... who know to what extent xD fff i love it ( * - * ) As long as I don't suddenly disappear LOL.
* Anime's art is simple but cute, clean ♥... i rly like it.
Manga's art is also cute and clean... but i think i like the most the anime's one.
Novels art, that i think are the ones scanned and published here :D, are gorgeous, I like that style the most ♥
For a thriller (i think it is) is appropriate imho. It isn't an anime-ish style but more realistic... but obviously not
completely realistic at all.
* Rokutousei no Yoru by Aimer = Crying my eyes forever and ever. // Ending theme.
I don't like it that much the opening theme but i think it gives the series a fantastic/futuristic air, that makes sense
for me c:
At this point I don't remember very much insidental music orzzz but i'll edit when i remember.
Both of them Nezumi's voice and Shion's voice was to me gorgeous ♥ I personally do not like voices that sounds feigned and i didn't notice that in any of them. Inukashi's voice is also ok for me :D! and also everyone else :DDD
(sorry for bad engurishu :c )
Lamperougegirl rated 9.00:Good plot, interesting utopical ideas, social environmet pretty realistic, still Character's design was kinda poor and what made me crazy most of all.... NO YAOI AT ALL!!! Just a f·%"ing kiss!! I wanted to see more T_T
MisaSasekage rated 8.00:After reading the manga chapters out so far, I decided to watch this. The character designs I really like, as to be expected of P.A Works and Bones^^ The city itself is futuristic so that along with the plot itself is interesting. And my personal favorite character out of the entire show Nezumi I love his hair and his eyes! He is incredibly cute, especially after the time skip. I kinda figured this anime would turn out to be BL, it gave that vibe off to me. My thoughts started to be confirmed after the first episode, even more so with no room for argument later in the show. It'll be intersting to see how Nezumi plans to take down No. 6. But the pacing and plot development is a major problem, because it seems really slow. I'll just have to sit it out and watch up until the end and then maybe it'll all come together. It was nice to see the action pick up again in episode 10, and I'm pretty sure things are shaping up nicely for an interesting conclusion, if a bit of a hurried one. It’s obvious in watching that this was condensed down from a much bigger story, but BONES have managed to give us something quite entertaining and occasionally very impactful. As near as I can tell, Elyurias intentionally delivered Safu into the hands of No. 6, which was trying to use Elyurias for their own power, because she was a perfect medium and would allow Elyurias to wipe out the city and reclaim it for nature. The wasps were an experiment No. 6 was conducting on its own citizens as some sort of way to harness Elyurias’ (who appears to be a giant wasp) power, with the help of a supercomputer called “Mother”. Yoming was part of some sort of violent resistance that planned to overthrow the city, but was a casualty when the wasps hatched. Nezumi was shot at least three times and lost twice his own body weight in blood, but because Sion stitched him up he was able to overcome a perfectly healthy Sion and disable him, using a bomb to blow up the correctional facility, which in turn destroyed the city wall. Sion himself was shot in the heart, but when ElyuriaSafu went non-corporeal, she emanated some sort of magic healing dandruff that cured Nezumi’s wounds and resurrected Sion from the dead. Nezumi kissed Sion on the lips again just to remind us this was a bromance, then left for no apparent reason except so the ending would be bittersweet. Did I miss anything? I’ll give BONES credit; it was certainly a breathtakingly fast-paced finale. I was a little disappointed that we never saw the reunion between Sion and Karan or learned the identity of Shion’s baby, and I would have liked to have gotten some sort of indication as to just what No. 6 needed those mountains of people for. And Dogkeeper and Rikiga fleeing together because they “wanted to survive” were pretty anticlimactic. But while the novels might be different, I can’t help but feel like trying to make sense of the No. 6 anime is rather beside the point. It was certainly confusing enough and had just enough metaphysics to be BONES, but in the end it was a pretty unique experience, not quite like anything else they’ve done.
