SkyHigh said: so if gay is attached to their personal image it can lead to umm complications? Only if yourself think so. It's all in your head. Otherwise, people should stop being homophobe. The word "Gay" should be banned from being used inappropriately. It's just so annoying most people blabbering this "gay" that "gay" fits themselves into the things they wanted to describe/demote. Good episode even though they cut away some of the good stuffs. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
SkyHigh said: I actually like Safu though, I really have no idea why either, but she is just likeable to me, however I guess to a large majority of the yaoi/bl lovers here she is seen as an enemy and a figure of hate as seen a few pages back, talking about immaturity in regards to dropping the show, people should learn not to bash characters for no reason either. Yep! I like Safu too! It's nice to see a character with a straightforward personality like her's. I agree even greater with your points on the bashing of Safu by yaoi/bl fans. It is strong case that I agree with when you mention of that certains fans who bash other characters without reason while saying everyone should tolerate BL/yuri/etc. as well. It kind of detracts from the objective viewpoint of the anime, in my opinion. For example, comments like, :SAFU MUST DIE" or similar confused me in this thread, as I didn't even see her in this episode at all. I had to spend time trying to find out where this had occured, or if I had completely missed something! X_X Anyways, I hope we can all be mature about such things in the future, but anyways, lets all just enjoy the show together now! =) |
 |
| Hmm, interesting, I see there are a lot of fujoshi watching this series, though what I am I to say. I don't mind Safu really, she seems she can be a likable character, the preview has me wondering what part she'll play later in the series. 5/5 :) |
| Loved this episode <3 Shion naming the rat's was adorable, so was Nezumi getting jealous ( but you didn't have to go insulting mothers though. BAD NEZUMI >:/ ). StormViruz said: If a whore ask for a charge for her kiss, then return it with a kiss. lol Oh my god that was badass. Even the prostitute didn't know what to say to that. The ending playing with Karan's crying was quite emotional. I wonder when the single is released?[/d] |

It's just so annoying most people blabbering this "gay" that "gay" fits themselves into the things they wanted to describe/demote. Good episode even though they cut away some of the good stuffs. Ah people misinterpret what I meant by complications, for example some guy tells all his friends he's 'gay' there is a high likelihood that he will lose some if not all friends, in some situations even get attacked if his friends were known to dislike or even hate gay/homosexual men. In case of this anime, if it does turn out to have a homosexual ending between Shion/Sion and Nezumi then it would in-fact be classified as Gay, since both men would be classified as such, that means anyone who has called this show 'gay' would be in fact correct in their statements. Ah and yaoi fans should stop screaming homophobe this and homophobe that to try and defend their own interests, sometimes it's not homophobia, these people don't hate nor do they fear homosexual relationships, they just don't wish to view it, lots of people dropping haven't said GAY GAY GAY DROPPING!!!!! they have said dropped because of the BL, this is a matter of preference not homophobia. P.S. it isn't all in the head. unlike what Yaoi fangirls think (or what some probably think) homosexuals don't live a perfect carefree life, they are continuously at threat from homophobes who may attack them, even murder them for their preference, but this isn't even what you were indicating at lol. BRING ON THE SAFU! is all I wish to add to this :D edit: This is unrelated but how do I get an avatar on the forums? |

bluestar17 said: I love how Nezumi handled the dogkeeper, though I really hope it wasn't foreshadowing anything very important Yeah, the handling was good. But... The way those two reacted was strange.. I mean, what's with the dogkeeper going all "HA! Nezumi has become soft! Now I can kill him!" ??? Okay, yeah, he insulted her mom.. Which WAS rude, (which also makes me wonder WHY Nezumi loves to keep bashing people for no reason) but... hmm.. I guess the dialogues were the problem.. |

She's not doing anything bad D: All she did was, um, as for a guy's sperm... |

Asking for sperm is just how she expresses herself :D quite unique I think |

Asking for sperm is just how she expresses herself :D quite unique I think Well ofc, that´s true, yaoi fangirls do not like to see our OTP becoming a threesome, but that happens not just in yaoi. that happens in every anime of every genre, and for all fans, not just fangirls. If you have a fav pairing, you´ll certainly dislike to see the protagonist ending with another character that was not your fav. some may accept that (like me) but ofc, it does bring some insatisfaction. Others will refuse to accept it XD Personally i like Safu and think she should not be bashed, although like i said before, im Nezumi x Shion FTW. The bitch on this ep grabbing and kissing Shion, that one should be bashed because she stole his first kiss for money. |

ROOMA4HELL said: Yaoi vibes >.> I think i should drop it but the action is its only saving grace for me I've been sensing that from the beginning. I'm really hoping it doesn't go there, but after reading all these reviews, I'm assuming it will. I guess I'll just close my eyes when it happens, because the story is too good for a little yaoi to ruin it. |
 |
| All these discussions spiraling into topics of homosexuality and homophobia - might as well throw in my two cents. It's pretty evident where the plot's heading at this point, I'll give it that. I'd understand the sentiment of "drop the BL" if it was there for the fanservice, except it isn't. What we have here, aside from the dystopian plot, is a meaningfully written bond between two vastly different people ; regardless of their gender. To say that you wouldn't appreciate the show because of some BL content, for whatever reason you may have, would be like saying you appreciate other shows because they're heterosexual. After all, they all more or less have a plot - and so does this one. A lot of people diss the show for the BL-tones, and others only watch it for that. I find both sides baseless ; the story and relationship aspect isn't something you should disregard or approve of only because of your own sexual preferences, and if you're only watching or dropping a show because of that - then that's your problem. This guy here hit the nail in the last part of this review; http://thecartdriver.com/no-6-episode-1/ Peace out. |
| I really like this series but, I see it has it's alot of bromance moments lol xD but don't you guys think Sion and Nezumi had sort of a indirect kiss when "The whore" made out with Sion then Nezumi made out with "The whore" xD? ...just my way of seeing things :3 |
 |
| You guys do know that bromances are not romantic right? Or are ya'll going to change the meaning of that word to fit this show? |
 |
| the best episode so far |

| and people deny this Anime is BL when it is mention in episode 1 forum lol yeah, this is not a BL anime coz there is no yaoi tag in it and it will not have one even the series end . I was a comedy for me thou... this Anime. triangle relation 5/5 |

| ITT jealous girls hating on Safu because she has a chance of "stealing" MC from Rat. Well, Im only watching for the setting. The interpersonal drama is pretty boring. |
| Blergh. |
| Awww.. so many scenes in that episode I really want to watch over and over again. I'm curious how the story will go on cause it's already the 4th episode and I can't see something special happen.. and next episode seems to be a fanservice episode as well.. I mean Nezumi aka Eve :DD That said enough.. But I have to say I really like the Anime like it is now.. love this bromance with a pinch of shounen ai :x |
| Every time Shion does something stupid, Nezumi spents several minutes complaining about that Shion is stupid and should try to fit in and that he will die or whatever, but when he actually tries to understand stuff and asks him he is like "don't bother me". I noticed that in some other Animes as well, and it's really stupid. I mean, it happens in real life, too, but usually not as extrem. If everyone is like that, you can only learn from observation (which often leads to weird results, depending on the subject and how much you already know) and from making all those mistakes (which everyone wants to prevent...?) It's a vicious circle. They don't know stuff -> they make mistakes -> they get yelled at for making mistakes -> they want to know stuff -> nobody cares to explain -> they don't know stuff.. and so on. It would be easier and faster to explain at least some things. |

Personally I think shes trying too hard >_>; then again she IS the aggressive type i guess......i mean if i was shion id be frozen stiff when she asks that LOL like Skyhigh mentioned, shes a pretty unique character and we've only seen her for a mere two episodes compared to shion and nezumi so she's still somewhat new Random note: are you THE anaaga from meta =O (i lurk there XD) NwAurion said: It would be easier and faster to explain at least some things. I completely agree to this, observing often leads to misunderstandings which is not pleasant at all. I think more times than not nezumi refuses to answer shion's questions because of the whole "stranger" thing or maybe because shion's uhh lets say innocence is something nezumi never experienced from anyone else; nezumi's not used to someone asking so many questions at once lulz (and shion's also quite stubborn) |
| Nezumi is such a pimp. First, he claims that Shion belongs to him, and then he makes out with a whore. Having Eve as a stage name just makes me think of Parasite Eve. Also, the home life of Shion and Nezumi amuses me. Shion's like a housewife cooking dinner, and Nezumi's an abusive husband. |
  |
| Argh I really hate to drop this anime but the yaoi/shounen ai vibes are just too much for me to continue watching this. Shion being so annoying character aint helping either. |
 |
| i dont understand why all the fangirls think that nezumi is so AWESOME.. i hate him, he is so full of himself and cocky, i really love BL, but somehow i want Shion to go back with Safu, just to see that asshole Nezumi suffer from unrequited love, and also.. 13man18 said: I think that was messed up when Nezumi insulted her mother, even though it's a dog, it's still messed up. yeah, he DIDN'T even need to do that! why'd he feels the need to insult her mother?!! jerk. i hope they'll focus more on the plot, i want to know more about Shion's mother, and of course the city. and also, i don't want some asshole like nezumi/rat/whore/crossdressing-slut/eve enjoy the innocent sweetheart Shion's body |
| Generally, I don't read nor spend time on discussion thread but this series made me do after watching the episode. I have so much fun reading posts from BL fans...and also those from anti-BL ones e.g. one like this: Wasabi said: This is starting to get disappointing. I came in expecting some decent sci-fi shit almost along the lines of Ergo Proxy and the like but instead I'm being forcefed some bromance with this annoying white haired kid. Doesn't help that half the posts in the episode threads are all "KYYYAAAAAAAA NEZUMI KISSED A GIRL~ DISLIKE DISLIKE DISLIKE ONLY SHIONXNEZUMI KAWAII" This is ROFL... made me laugh really hard on the last part. I won't deny I love the BL undertones thrown in this show but I can't help laughing when someone points out these BL stuffs. Hmm, I'm curious about everything in this show. It's rare for me to seek the manga counterpart. *imma go seeking for it now* |
| "You can keep the change" > It's official. I'm a little bit in love with Nezumi. (This is how bad boys win the ladies/men. Seriously.) The final scene with Shion's mother had me tearing up - it was beautiful. |
AddleBoy said: Also, the home life of Shion and Nezumi amuses me. Shion's like a housewife cooking dinner, and Nezumi's an abusive husband. I was thinking the same thing! ^_^ |

otakuthon49 said: Something about this series is giving it close to dropping it. It's the dreary BL instincts in this episode. Otherwise, not a bad episode. Are you kidding me. Fuck the BL shit, this episode was bad as an episode all together. It was the worst until now. No progress at all and that fight with the dog lady made no sense whatsoever. |
| OMGGGG I HAD A FCKING HEART ATTACK!!! When Nezumi said "He belongs to me" <3<3<3<3<3 But I was like GRRRR don't go kiss someone else in front of Sion you BAKA Nezumi! Omgg I couldn't believe it when that old pervert proposed Nezumi to whore himself out >.< Like he would ever abandon Sion! But I was like omg goooo Sion, protect Nezumi's innocence, seems like he can get mad too :) Nezumi, you don't have to act like you and Sion are strangers after he saved you and you saved him a couple of times... And you have to realize that Sion doesn't want to kill, especially not you... why would he want to know more about you if he disliked you? Jeaoulus Nezumi!!! _O_ I totally love this episode, it shows how much influence Sion has on Nezumi (even though he keeps telling himself and others it isn't like that) <3 "I find myself drawn to you" Sion, you just made my heart melt <3 |
| i really like this anime it has a pretty interesting story and setting...but this bromance man...they need to bring back the girl that wants sperm lol im just saying they should stay away from scenes from shion cuz hes a bitch and his character is so annoying |
| LOL @ Shion and Nezumi antics. ^_^; |
 |
| This might be an incredibly silly question but is Inukashi male or female? At first I thought he/she was female because of the long hair and feminine voice but he/she uses masculine speech which has just confused the hell out of me. |
Rei-chan said: This might be an incredibly silly question but is Inukashi male or female? At first I thought he/she was female because of the long hair and feminine voice but he/she uses masculine speech which has just confused the hell out of me. I'm not sure if it's completely verified that she's female or male because some sites say that her gender is unknown whereas some say she's female. I guess I'll just stick to her being female and is just masculine like that because she had a tough childhood. |
| I'm a guy. I'm straight, and I'm enjoying every single aspect of this anime. When the first episode started I was more put off by the story than the shounen-ai foreshadowing. I would have been disappointed if the story only focused on some sort of fugitive theme. But then the second episode made me regret doubting this anime, the story so far has been fantastic; I'm also pretty certain that I was close to tears towards the end of this episode with the Shion's mom scene. I can't wait until the next episode. I really do hope that the 11 episode limit won't ruin this anime. |

Actually that's the only reason why I read the posts from both sides of the fence for this series, for the laughs. Don't care much about the BL atmosphere though. Anyway it was a slow episode but there's a lot of info in this one. Nezumi works in theater with the stage name "Eve" and he apparently can sing. XD I though the settlement outside No.6 were just slums last episode, I'm surprised it's actually a small city or a town in it's own right. I find the last part with Shion's mother saddening too. |

azurenight said: I found this episode to be the weakest yet. It was choppy, random, and it didn't advance the plot in a fast enough manner to satisfy me. Even though I'm enjoying the shounen ai undertones, I think this anime is going to disappoint me. No matter how much I enjoy BL, the story is the most important aspect for me in anime. You are a shining light which shows the non-obssessive side of BL fans, though rare a few exist as you have proven, unlike most of the posters here -.- I wish people would actually discuss the plot instead of having yaoigasms everywhere, I'm also hoping for an episode which gets back to the plot so I can finally give an episode 5/5 |

| I had a nice long comment on the episode but then I heard the extended ED and forgot everything. Aimer ftw <3 |
| Ignoring all the "omg this is gonna be yaoi!" cries, this episode was still piss poor. |

keikanna44 said: Nezumi have it in him. This episode is really pretty much shounen-ai...i hope they can tone it down. Whats with the girl on the bed? omg lol.I enjoyed this episode. You got to see some more of Nezumi's personality and Sion flip out on that dude! I didn't know the kid had it in him. ^_^ My favorite line "He belongs to me" Darn right! That whore never stood a chance. lol Looking forward to the next episode and yeah that "girl" on the bed was Nezumi. You can tell by looking. Side Note: I'm sick of Safu. I hope she dies...or something... |
shinki7 said: Nezumi have it in him. This episode is really pretty much shounen-ai...i hope they can tone it down. Whats with the girl on the bed? omg lol. When I first saw her I thought it was Nezumi as a girl or something lol. He's secretly a girl thought process ahaha. I'm stupid. This was a cute episode too :3 I really don't like that dog keeper girl, she's annoying :/ And That kiss lolol He's so straightforward with the screw you attitude xD |

Thalandor46 said: I give up. I tried giving No 6 the benefit of the doubt, but the few pros it had going for it just don't outweigh the cons. Shion is a horrid character. He acts like he's 8 years old, and people always gawk at him like he's done something amazing. The other characters aren't bad, but they're nothing to rave about. And the plot is so painfully obvious (NO 6 IS ACTUALLY BAD OH NOES!!!), I'm pretty sure they couldn't throw anything out there that would surprise me. No 6 is officially the first noitaminA show I've dropped since Trapeze. Have fun guys. everything you said is irrelevant since you said you dropped such an amazing anime like Trapeze |

No 6 is officially the first noitaminA show I've dropped since Trapeze. Have fun guys. Shion does act very immature and I think it has something to do with how..open-minded and curious he is. Always asking questions like a child...sometimes ones with an obvious answer. Also, in what way is the plot obvious? Yes, there's an epidemic and there are a lot of people dying, but what the heck is Shion and Nezumi going to do about it? Is Shion going to help out and Nezumi becomes his enemy just because he says he would? Do you know how they'll end up and what will become of No. 6? I dropped Uta no Prince-sama because it had a bad plot. Uta no Prince-sama. That's a reverse-harem so there's obviously a typical plot. In what way is the plot of No. 6 obvious? What you're saying makes no sense. Acquiesc3 said: Ignoring all the "omg this is gonna be yaoi!" cries, this episode was still piss poor. I highly doubt it will be yaoi since that would be for mature audiences only, but I think it's already kind of shounen-ai. There are way too many hints of it. |

| Hehehehe so it was that kind of anime after all. I am glad I need my dose of shounen-ai this season. |
