OH YES, after that scene I can die happily.

Funny, they just left out Safu's "I love you" but oh well. I'm loving this anime though they really left out some information from the Novels but that's not all that surprising :'D

Nezumi's voice is like pure sex fghjkl and his comment about Shion being naked was the best.

I can't wait for the next episode, more of NezumixShion <3

Yeah, I think so too, but No.6 is already stepping out of Fractale's silliness. Hopefully we'll get to see what Fractale could do if it didn't turn out to be a mess. Anyway, good action, good scenes, good episode.

I actually thought that this episode has went by really quickly.
Like I thought it was just about to begin then I heard the ending song ;___;
I CANNOT WAIT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
... i can't see what happens next bc the manga hasn't even reached from where the anime stopped.
waiting is painful

I didnt feel this way for a while. Nezumi is SOO HOTTT!!!!!! *DYING*

I AM FANGIRLING MY WAY TO HEAVEN!!! X/////X

but anyway, yea.. 5/5 EPISODE!!


Reading this post makes me think I am not the target audience for this anime.
Now that they've done away with the only female friend, I REALLY HOPE this anime does not go into BL territory.

Also note that Shion's hair is white in the OP and ED, so I'm assuming the same "wasp disease" will happen to Shion, but he will be saved by the rebels before that happens.

well that girl was pretty blunt "i want your sperm" "are you not interested in sex?"

seems somewhat homo to turn her down and then get excited by rat boy showing up.

if he really didn't want to be taken or way or to lose his friends/family he would have kept his mouth shut and back then not harbor a criminal.

still it was nice with the time skip as I didn't like them being kids as much. the corrupt government plot could be interesting but if there is much more bromance this is dropped.

I thought he was more excited at the fact that he was being rescued and was avoiding being sent to a correctional facility.

I don't think this is going to turn into BL at all, but I know fangirls will pair them together after little more than a handshake between them (I've paired female characters together based on less).

I can't think of Nezumi & Shion in a BL thing.. xD;; gaaaah.. I'm not a true fangirl then
//smacked

anyways, this episode made me like nezumi's more <3

<3 d'aw~ cute little mouses~ //shot again

anyways, I wonder when Shion's hair will turn white though..
plus, it seems he'll have that wasp thing happen :c ...
lol good episode though, good episode

"I want your sperm"
me:"WHOA~"
"I want to have sex"
me:"WHOA~ ...fast aint she"
"Right now"
me:"...right here? right now? on this floor? you sure~?"
"Your not interested in sex?"
me:"he isn't physically prepared, or mentally prepared... - :c face-"

Awesome second episode. Of course the best part is when Safu ask Sion for his sperm and he is like "Umm... idk". Anyone would have took that opportunity but not him.

@Heiru.. ^^ LOL

*_*
Another Nezumi fan here! =D *all out with those poofy pom-poms!*
Totally love him!!! He's so quick, cool... ah, the voice.. I love his hair.. His character is HAWT! And I loved the way he used his mousie to contact Shion. :)) Cute! Cute little Mezumi's mezumi! =D

As for Safu asking him in scientific terms to have sex.. :))) Reminded me of the TV Series "Bones". Those two women have all their brainworks in common. :))
Obviously she's not one to phrase such things properly. She'll be going all scientific with pheromones when it comes to romance. Oh well.. if Shion decides to do it after 2 years.. He'll just have to get used to it. ;P

Interesting build-up to the story.. Slightly predictable with certain events as things keep happening.. but it's still pretty interesting.. The parasitic bee is weird.. Change the colours atleast.. O.o
I bet Shion's gonna be saved by Mezumi.. Is he gonna cut his throat and remove it?? O.o I so wanna see!!!

Ending: Insert another girl character... Hmm... Gonna be interesting. =D


Yay! to this season's anime!!

Interesting show.

I'm guessing Shion has that bug in his neck and that's why he has white hair in the op/ed.

I want more! This is one of those shows that although it's good, it's not great, but it certainly leaves you wanting more.

Sad that it's only 11 episodes long, the story has to progress rather quickly on these short run animes, or get a second season :)

Woah woah woah. Beginning was creepy. That is exactly how the show CSI would have done it.


"I want your sperm."
" I want to have sex with you."

WTF?!? Already? And there you have it! Proof that smart girls are sexually active as ever. I honestly can't believe they just talked about sex. lmao

Wow that wrist band is bullshit. Talk about patriotism in a dictatorial fashion.

And then the guy turns into an old man and dies...not to mention a bee just comes out of his neck. WTF?

The ending reminded me of Ergo Proxy and Darker Than Black with the real world being outside the confined city.

looking forward to next episode.

If this was the first episode, I would be fine with it but no ... it was the second episode and happened after a timeskip. 4 year timeskip in one episode? 11 episodes? I smell trouble. I'm quitting this.

I think thats how it went, but my god that was hilarious and out of the blue. xD

Can't wait to see the next episode its going to be great.

5/5 for this one.

The first episode was quite good, but this one definitely didn't equal it. Writing seemed a bit ridiculous in some parts, particularly the girl asking Sion to have sex with her. Both of their reactions didn't seem very believable. Also seems a bit rushed with Nezumi appearing out of nowhere just after a time skip. It's only 11 episodes, but it progressing quickly already.

okay i know i mentioned this already last week, BUT JFC THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THIS SHOW & 1984 SCARE ME LMAO. government being a creepy-chan & stalking its citizens, yep.


I haven't notice until I read your comment but you're so damn right ! Not to mention that there are two "sides" of the world, the "chosen" people who lives in a quite beautiful and modern place and the "unwanted" people who live... well you get the idea. I really look forward to see what's coming next. :) But there are more technlogies in No.6, but well, considering that 1984 was writing quite a long time ago it's normal.

To me, it's like 1984 without all the critism against totalitarism politics (dictatorship and everything). In No.6, there are much more social classes to me in the "chosen" city and people aren't starving or anything like in 1984.

Anyway, don't know if it makes sense. XD
But still, wasn't sure about No.6 at first, but now I'm really into it honestly.

I'm sorry to those who hate it but I ship Shion and Nezumi, so I was happy when he rejected that girl. She has to be really bold or desperate to ask for sex, seeing as he's shown no interest in her whatsoever. Anyways loved the episode. I think Nezumi is pretty bad ass though. So I'm wondering if next episode, Shion's hair turns white.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

The proper dystopia to compare them to is probably Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, rather than Orwell's 1984. Shion's actions in saving Rat demoted him from Alpha or Beta status to the happy life of a Gamma working in the city park. No matter whether it's a soft despotism or a hard one, no all powerful government likes to have its actions questioned (and obviously this one is constantly monitoring people either through their wrist identification bands or by other means). I wonder if City No. 6 has a patriot act?

Poor Safu, she may be brilliant but she just doesn't get people very well (remember her comments about kissing in episode 1). This seems to be moving along nicely, so we'll see how they bring civilization down in the next nine episodes. Don't cheer when it happens though, your own government might be listening....

Very nicely said. That's exactly how I feel. I definitely think they have a patriot act otherwise they would not have had these daily routines at work saying how great No.6 is. Will they mention it? Eh...doubt it, but it seems the act exists.

I was kind of wary when I watched this last week (I mean the 1st ep of course) but the way they executed this 2nd ep has me sold!

And yeah, lol I had the same "wth" reaction when she asked for his sperm (shouldn't he have blushed more than he did? *shrug*)

And yes, totally LOL at Nezumi having a trained pet rat.

And now I know why/how he got his white hair (unless my line of thinking is wrong) --which was what I've been wondering since 1st ep.

Next ep looks exciting/interesting!!
