| Well that was.... rushed. I kinda feel like nothing, and really nothing, got an proper explanation. The kiss made me happy though, even if it was waaay too short, but sadly the moment was crushed when Nezumi just left D: Still, I loved this anime but it could have been SO much better with a few more episodes. |
| Well I wasn't expecting another kiss lol And they're both still fine after getting show up... That left way too much open. Disappointing for such a good show ): |
| NO SRSLY WTH WAS THIS CRAP BONES. Two words: ridiculously terrible. (I assumed Bones actually learnt something over the years after the remake of FMA but no. Do they really enjoy remakes so much? o.O Stay closer to the canon of your source (eg. the novel) for fuck's sake!) |
SoraKuro said: jjoym said: sorry, too pissed to respond properly, but there's a volume 9 summary if you don't mind being spoiled. http://hiriajuu.livejournal.com/7568.html I think everyone should read that (and the other volume summaries) and erase these last episodes from their brains. This is so beautiful. I changed my mind. Why, oh, why, BONES. What did you do to this exellent, touching material. |
| ... Ehh. After these building episodes, I felt the ending would have had a little more impact. I feel Nezumi wants to come back later on, but they could have elaborated on that a little more. I really loved Number 6, but this ending really didn't live up to it's name, although I did enjoy it. 5/5 For awesomeness. |
| OHHHH MY GODD!!!!!!!!! 45R5DRFGAGHSIJSKDJSDCOSDCIAJSOCFSOGJVKISFCAAJAHJSHDASCUALSCAHDAGSJADIWFSFSVS4D4VSDGVSR52GSFSJFDCF5SDF4S5D33 *spazzing* Anyway, THIS EPISODE WAS RUSHED AS HELL!!! SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED, I HATE HOW IT WAS SO RUSHED!!! In like 10 minutes, Safu shows up, she dies, the building burns down, Nezumi is shot, Shion tries to do surgery on him, flash backs, Shion gets shot, Shion dies, singing, and then a big ass bee shows up... I HATE RUSHED ENDINGS.. So I was about to rate this like a 7 since this ending seemed rushed and Shion died, but then BAM!!! SHION IS BACK TO LIFE!!! I then wanted to rate it a 8... but then!!!! WHEN I RATED THIS A 10/10 GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!AGDSAJDHSHCAOLSHDIJA!!!! BRING IN AUTUMN 2011~!!!!!! Edit: but actually... I'm kinda sad that Shion and Neumi had to split up ;___; |

| Pheeew, finally my mind has cooled and I can write a normal comment. So. It was very... disappointing. Bees kills people, Nezumi shot, Safu is Elyulias, Safu Blown, Sion dead, Sion dead NOT, No.6 blown, (.....) so many things happened in fakin one episode ;_; I don't know why producers came up with idea to make 11 episodes, 12 would have been perfect (well, not for hardcore fans who wouldn't get enough with 100 eps xD). Maybe anyone knows why ..? Sion dead NOT scene was the most disappointing. How the fu*k Safu could make him alive, she herself was already dead... Maybe when I'll reach this part at the novel it will be clear but now it looked like a magical scene from sailor moon. I don't wand Nezumi or Sion dead but just imagine how dramatic it would be if one of them would have actually died... However I agree with someone who has said that ending should be with Sion waiting near the window and maybe with a hint of Nezumi coming. It would have been 100% perfect, dramatic yet heart-warming. |
| I knew he was going to come back to life...fuhuhuhu e___e Anyways, this ending really made my head explode because it was REALLY rushed. I've seen a lot of rushed and really random endings (COUGH COUGH, KUROSHTISUJI II), but this by far was on the top list of 'ones that made me go ($#*@&$%*(@$&#..." I'd also like that add on the fact that kiss was really weird...like it was completely random. Seriously. BAM! NEZMUI HOLDS HIS CHIN AND KISSES HIM! Don't get me wrong...it was in a way 'cute' but still... I love how Shion kind of really doesn't have any reaction after that xD He's just like,"Ah...he kissed me. Yuppp." I'm not against shounen-ai as it includes kisses but that, in my opinion, wasn't really 'necessary' in a way. I STILL DON'T FREAKING GET WHY NEZMUI LEFT. Sure one day they might "meet againnn" but why'd Nezmui just disappear like that? It really bothers me how he leaves Shion. All in all, it did make me jump off my seat a bit. Just a tiny bit. It didn't leave me at edge of my seat, however, because in my opinion the ending was decent. Not amazing. Not bad...just...pretty good. It's not 'average' as it had a lot going on in the ending and answers to questions are revealed but they really could of extended the series a bit to further explain and focus on more things. I'm also, in a way, sort of disappointed. Just a bit. Probably because NEZMUI just freaking dragged his butt out of the picture...yeah that's probably the thing that's bothering me the most. |

narusasu1 said: They changed the ending they left out the conversation they had the ending in a different location toned down the nature of Sion and Nezumi's relationship. Left out the reason for the kiss at the end and changed Sion's reaction to it. And how it should have been in the alternative ending? <I still haven't reached that part> |
| Yoo... my voice is gone you guys.. XDD I screamed so bad in the kiss scene, I cant even talk right now...xD |
Lulexiaa said: Yoo... my voice is gone you guys.. XDD I screamed so bad in the kiss scene, I cant even talk right now...xD Okayyyy so lately I don't know what's been going on with my brain (I think I have obtained Fangirl Syndrome...just a bit of it) and I just feel like it wasn't enough. I'm not talking about they should've...done 'that' (if you don't get what I'm talking about erase it from your mind completely. I don't even know what the heck I'm babbling about anymore) but I mean they could of hugged after the kiss or had a special moment that lasted for more than 5 seconds if you know what I'm talking about...yeah. If they're going to add a kiss make it more memorable. That kiss was just sooo random I could've seen it ending with or without it. I do understand that Nezumi isn't exactly the kind of guy who likes to be all "lovey dovey" but that kiss popped out of NOOOWHEREEE and it just ends like that. Oh, of course Nezumi drags his butt away after that (that's the part that enrages me) which made it EVENN more romantic. |
narusasu1 said: It was a promise to return kiss and Sion is at a window and shows Sion staring out the window as he always did waiting on Nezumi 2 possible ways apparently one is you just see Sion waiting another is you see Nezumi returning. There was more to the conversation too but I would have to look it up again. They left a lot of coversations out in this anime, especially Nezumi's thoughts and feelings. The promise to return kiss was from him, not Sion just saying I will see you again in a strong determined way to return home. Geez, it seems that anime is missing a lot :/ Maybe they've cut those scenes not just to fit into 11 eps. (STILL DUNNO WHY JUST 11) but also to avoid angry homophobics. |
narusasu1 said: Seems if they wanted to avoid upsetting anti-bl peeps they would of left the kiss scenes out all together. They did leave a lot of important things out like the book showing that Sion was inlove with Nezumi even says it is a love confession to Nezumi at one point. They leave out pretty much everything Nezumi is thinking. They leave out a conversation about another kiss that did not happen when they had been climbing the bodies. They toned it down a lot, the manga already shows more then the anime but the manga is way behind the anime. They also leave out the part where Sion would mumble Nezumi's name all the time during the 4 years after they met and Sion's mom said asked him about it and said the way he would say his name was with longing and she asked who he was and was he heartbroken by this Nezumi in which he would blush and get clumsy. Oh, I can't forget that they've putted that Safu sweater story in the anime. After all anime wasn't that bad... but fact "book is always better than the movie" still stays. I'm still surprised how author (and all cast) could keep this anime so pure even thought that it was shonen-ai and even with 2 kisses, usually anime gets vulgar after one person confesses to other. Now I'm kinda sad that series are over (for what will I wait now D:?). I guess I should find another anime with such an amazing purity (but with blood and corpses inside xD). |
| Most. Disappointing. Ending. Ever. 8/10 because the first 10 episodes were epic. |
 |
| fucking ninjas with guns ): and meh, Sion died and lived again. I'm quite happy that it was Safu who revived him (eat that Safu haters) but why pull that off? I'm not a fan of miracles. Okay done reading that volume 9 summary. Stupid Bones is stupid. Why settle with 11 episodes when they could do 12? If only they give room for one more episode volume 9 would've been properly animated. :| Yeah. I hate you Bones and what you did to this anime. Except the kiss in episode 7. :P |
| I don't even know. I knew that Sion would be revived, but wow. And I never really hated Safu so it was pretty disappointing when she died, but other than that... I don't really know. But that was bad, what else can I say. orz |
 |
| So many unanswered questions x.x honestly this was goin to atleast get a good 9/10 for me for the first 10 episodes but this....well it droped it down to 8/10 and thats only because the first 10 episodes were actually good.... |
| I'm probably going to get stoned for saying this but..i think the real problem is noitaminA. Seriously, No. 6 could have been AMAZING if it had a longer run but nooo why does noitaminA always want 11 episodes? That makes no sense to me and totally impacts the series as a whole. I don't get the hype for that programming block at all. Also, AnoHana to a certain degree as well (like one or two more episodes would have been nice). Anyways..i loved this series (minus this episode...) and i'm giving it a 8/10. Would have been a 9 for sure if the ending was better, but it still managed to tell a great story with the limited time it had. |

| Rushed ending, an overall terrible script and contrived character relations makes it impossible for me to give this more than a 5/10. Delicious BONES animation was the one thing that kept me watching to the end. That, and the camp value of some of the "dramatic" scenes. |
 |
| At least it was better than AnoHana. |
 |
| I feel for Safu. The show was okay but the ending felt rushed somehow. |
| Pretty homo. Would be better if it wasn't so homo. Other than that. The plot was pretty much everywhere. Didn't get to see more of No.6 |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| 6/10 for no.6 |
 |
| What the heck just happened. Plot was pretty slow untill all of sudden it took few turns in SINGLE episode to end the series. And what was the message of the anime, destroying walls of one of the cities? There are 5 more who are probably the same or similar? Sure the wall is gone, but everything is in chaos and probably not many people survived that. Rule by force and pillaging, thats all what happens when you do these things. I really had no emtional moments in this anime, maybe a bit when safu sang since, heck, it was THE SAME as christmas carolls and its not even cold enough to be in a mood for these. Big waste of time, if you want plot there are better titles, if you want more boylove, if thats your thing, just get what's atleast honest about it. |
| I wonder if these companies are in the habit of giving DVD extras... Maybe we will be given a nice, even 5 minute ep, that does a time skip. I want my window scene, dangit >8I |
| . |
| Ugh, I didn't like the ending, but the series was pretty good all in all, it gets a 7 from me, but yeah, Sion should've died =/ |
 |
| 6/10 ...how fitting. Safu got pretty shafted by everything throughout the entire series and then killed off. Am I the only one that liked her character and wished she'd stay alive? I'd be just as happy if Nezumi and/or Shion died too (or at least !@#$ing stay dead)...would have been much more impactful. The yaoi is strong with this one... |
| I'm so disappointed. This series was so promising at the beginning! Then in the last few episodes it just imploded on itself.. -_- The finale was too much for me. Too many questions. The only thing that made me smile was the kiss cause, honestly, I really did like the relationship between Sion and Nezumi. Sure it was shounen ai but still, they had a connection. That's why this episode was a fail in their relationship. Cause they would be like mad at each other then forgive each other in an instant. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's just kind of nonrealistic. It's like "Oh you just killed one of my friends, but I'll save you anyway!" And wtf happened to Sions personality at the end.. He started to become pessimistic, but then at the end he's all back to normal like every thing is a-ok. If Nezumi stayed & I got to see Sions mother reunite with him then MAYBE I would give it a good score. But yeah the ending screwed us all over. |
| I see people saying this episode was crap, but further on in their post giving it a 10/10 because "OMG THEY KISSED WEEEE *blush icon*" WTF? Are we all 12 here? a little crap fanservice at the end and you forget about it all? Sigh... |
   |
| I do agree that Sion's attitude change a little too quickly there - but if you think about, there really wasn't time to draw out his emotions and when Nezumi saved his tail-end, yet again, I'm thinking that's what snapped Sion out of his mood and caused him to react/change so quickly to save Nezumi. It would have been nice if they had put more time into Safu's death and Sion grieving her, since she was a close friend of his; even though he didn't really return her feelings of "love" - but with the building coming down around them, guards everywhere, and Nezumi nearly getting himself killed just to save Sion - again, there was really no time. An extra episode would've made things better and more drawn out, I'd say. Since they crammed everything together like that, it really wasn't the best ending but I can tolerate it. I've seen far worse endings, if not highly similar ones. @amyiceeyes: Agreed! Just because a little fan-service is shown for five seconds at the tail end, it should not really change anyone's original opinion of what they thought about the episode as a whole. Yes, the kiss between the two was "nice," "sweet," or "cute," as some have said but that alone does NOT and should NOT make the episode rating a 10/10. |

| Awww, that baby is so adorable! Sion will make a great big brother. After Nezumi AND Sion get shot, it looked like it would parallel Overall, I'm still kinda confused about the whole point of everything in this show...maybe the book makes more sense? |
| gay >.> im not into yaoi |
 |
| OMG THIS GOT FUCKED TOO!!!!!!!!!!! This and Ao no Exorcist. They are both getting fucked up endings that did not follow the Novel/Manga. This is really PISSING ME OFF!!!!!!!!!!! 3/5, 7/10 |
| Am I seriously the only one that believes Nezumi is dead? He left because he passed on. I thought that much was obvious. Elyurias, represented by the Queen Bee was released by the destruction of mother. Elyurias then sacrificed herself and used every ounce of her final power which, in turn, killed off the parasite bees. Which were created from her in the first place. The Safu half used her sacrifice to revive Shion. Nezumi says, "I guess she wanted you to see this." Talking about the wall. I take it that a life for a life was used and she could not save Nezumi who died just before he saw ghost Safu/Elyurias. Nezumi gives Shion a farewell kiss and tells Shion he will be ok without him. Then Nezumi stars walking and passes on. That is how I translated the ending... |

| Terrible terrible terrible. I hate you BONES for not making good shows anymore. |
FlynnxGuy said: Well those were some delayed subs, but I shouldn't be complaining.... Anyways I got pissed how Sion died from 1 shot but Nezumi survived like what, 3? Ending left me with a WTF though..... 9/10 overall BRAVO "APPLAUSE" Nezumi's wounds were all non-vital, except the one that was on his ... abdomen? That or he got shot in the dick :P The angle was a bit awkward when he was saving Nezumi, LOL. Anyway, none of his were immediately fatal. Sion was shot through the heart. You don't survive that, period. Well OK, unless you're Duke from GI Joe. The finale was interesting, but left me confused. What the hell was that Euralyie or whatever girl? What the hell was the point of the wasp experiment? And how the hell does Safu (possessed or not) have the power to bring back the dead? Especially when she'd have to regenerate his exploded heart. Ah well, Deus ex Machina ftw I suppose. Yeah, that was a very chaste kiss ... apparently it was smexier in the novel? That was the aspect of the show I had the least interest in, anyway, so the little tacked-on kiss before running off left me shrugging 'meh'. It did seem pretty abrupt, Nezumi leaving like that. "Well, your girlfriend's dead, we destroyed No 6, tore the wall down and oh yeah, I just saw you die and be resurrected in front of my eyes, I'm gonna go be Mad Max now and find Thunderdome." 7/10, I can't help but feel that BONES mishandled it and someone else could've done better. Ah well, it was pretty good entertainment regardless. Can't say it'll be terribly missed, though there's not very much better to choose from this season ... |

| Overrated 4/10 |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| After watching the epic ending of Steins;Gate yesterday I have to watch this crappy ending? FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU 2/5 for this ep 5/10 for the whole series (and only because I liked eps 8 to 10) |
| ..what the fuck...? I originally gave this a 10/10, I personally loved eps 1-4. This it totally went downhill from there.. -_____- Well, that was just shit. "/ |
