@t3 no I didn't mean it in a bad way, you just came off a little strongly. But I guess I could understand, but you sorta got very defensive of it. This isn't really the best place to have a discussion. Most people, from what I see, post their comments without looking at other people's.

srry bout dat :D. I'm one who read everybodys' comment. It's true but I'm not the only one who seems to get very deffensive. Just look at the discussions in the other episode forums. JEEZ, they conitinue for ever! lawls. And Your thoughts weren't stupid. Everybody's ideas are important (atleast...to a degree-talking about haters for no reason-not you)

Reply: Bro, you took about as much thinking about what you were saying in your post as you did editing your horrendous grammar. Read other people comments please! You're not the only one watching this show that isn't gay, but the ones who make outrageous comments like "everyone here is gay but me" are usually the ones who are closet queers (people who pretend to be something that they're not). So be careful with your words. And what's wrong with being "fucking gay", in your own words? Shall i continue?


Reply: hahaha, sory bro no offense in my post. and i dont care about my gramm anyway. i just wanted to say what across in my head. hahaha... (and yeah this anime is so gay) hahaha.. ("SUKATORO.COM" check this one if you like this anime)


Cool. No one cares.

Yeah, we usually like reckless characters because they're fun and cool to watch. Buuut, in my opinion, a girl who is about to start crying saying that she is going to go see her beloved and then gets no more than 15 feet before being captured isn't exaaactly the kind of recklessness I wanted to see.
Now if she had whipped out a katana and changed into a badass outfit and declared that she would go find Shion, I might have enjoyed it a bit more.

Reply: lol, funny. Well then her feelings were romantic but her efforts were not.

Damned yaoi fangirls ... poor Safu didn't do anything wrong, all she did was be a female love interest in a series mostly based around shonen-ai. :/ Ah well, it's the Raleena Effect from Gundam Wing, anyone who screws up the preferred pairing is Public Enemy #1. Especially if they're one of those icky 'girl' things ;p

Agree that Nezumi and Shion are an even more homoerotic version of Naruto and Sasuke, but without the super ninja powers. :P It helps that Nezumi resembles Sasuke with his hair up.

Anyhoo, the episode was pretty decent, though it seemed pretty slow-paced to me. It seems like they're just shuffling along and they're already halfway through the series. I hope they don't end up crowding too much into the ending. Looks like next episode Shion runs off, and maybe kisses Nezumi finally :P

I really, really don't know what to think about Safu. She's not whiny, cute typical anime girl, she's strong and nice. BUT what I don't like about her, is what she's saying. starting from all that "sperm" thing - is that really a love confession that deserves any liking? off course the fact is, that she was raised in a city that is different from the normal ones, but personally I felt disgusted after seeing that scene in the anime. next, back to the topic of today's episode - "Shion's feelings don’t matter". really? if they don't matter to you, then go, and let bad people capture you, and even more, leave your beloved one with sadness, if he won't get a chance to save you. sacrifice is a noble thing, but I won't be sad, if something bad happen to her. it was all her choice, she wanted to go, she accepted the danger, so she will suffer from all the consequences of it. it is sad, her life, her fate, but still, she choose most of it. and yes - she is selfish. she want to see Shion, not rescue him. she is doing it all for herself. and Shion is not selfish, so he really deserves better than her. he should have the rights to choose his own way of living, and not being forced to rescue a friend, who got into trouble all by herself.
I think that her love is causing Shion more problems than good. it is causing him to get into trouble, it's making him choose the patch that may leads him to despair and sorrow. he may loose everything that is precious to him because of her selfish love.
but, yeah, without it the plot wouldn't ever go on.

overall I didn't liked that episode much. the part with Safu's grandma was suspicious, I would like to know if it's a normal thing in No.6 city to wipe out everything after person's death, or if there was some evil behind it.
I can't understand how people can fangirling over Nezumi and Shion's fight. to me it was almost heartbreaking. all I see is "OMG Nezumi on Shion" - yeah, but he was not caressing him, he was mad, scary, I don't know, but it wasn't a scene that I would call "shounen-ai fanservice". I would call it "slowly breaking up". even with their words, it was still a sad scene, and I don't see any happy ones coming in a next episodes.
even the preview didn't make me happy. I'm shipping Nezumi and Shion with my whole heart, but I don't feel like most of the people who are like "omg the kiss the kiss can't wait!!1". I don't even believe that it would be a real kiss.
but we'll see.

and, people... leave the yaoi fangirls alone. they really can love and post what they want. I don't like fangirls, but either I'm not calling them "damned" or "stupid" or anything like that. if they need to shout out their happiness or rage, why can't let them do it? I have seen a lot of hetero-loving fangirls posting into topics about their shoujo manga romances, and yet no one complained about their CAPS or !!!!'s.

T3rm1n4t0r2 said:
How is a kiss the only possibility here?!?! He could be seeing something on his face or it could be he will whisper something to Nezumi. People assume too much.
It's just that ppl ship the couple like crazy and seeing them kiss is something that all shippers are dying for. It's natural to anticipate for something that you really want, you know. Even if you get hit by a bus later on.

Anyway, this episode didn't have much to it's content and it seemed to get over too fast. Weakest episode so far even though Sion's bold talk and the fight was quiet amazing. Shion has always looked like a wuss but he has never been one from childhood.

And I don't understand the Safu hate either.

P.S. Apparently, you become a fangirl every time you ship a yaoi couple. So absurd~

Edit: lol at Dogkeeper being a dude. Thought he was a girl all along with a tsundere crush on Nezumi XDD

Somehow this series slowly reminds me of real life. People arguing about the same things day after day without acting.
And then...usually the previews make it look like as if there will be so much stuff going on in the next episode but in the end nothing happens. xD
Though I must admit, I really like this kind of concept.
It's like... I remember that many people here were totally waiting for the final answer regarding the question what's happening in No.6.
But actually our own world is as mysterious as No.6 probably.
Actually the "Picasso art is forbidden" thing wasn't really surprising to me. I mean it's easy to find a country on this planet which is on the surface a little bit like No.6. I mean what do we know about North Korea? Well it was interesting to get some information about North Korea to me too although there might be so many hidden things...
+ the "Let's break the wall" thingy in this episode totally reminded me of a part of my own History... when Berlin's wall fell. In this case it went out well without killing each other etc...but hmm..this series is kinda inspiring...It makes me think more about my own world than it pulls me into this "fantasy world".

One more point; JESUS! There was like NOTHING to support shion/nezumi relationships in this episode. AND YET STILL, people are blowing it way out of proportion in this forum . Sure they get hands on at one point, but that is because Nezumi puts a knife up to Shion's throat. That's not exactly lovey - dovey if you ask me. Unless, ofcourse your a sadist :). Shion compares the two of them as friend or foe in this episode aswell, so I'm thinking thats it for the supossed "yapi" (pun of yaoi) love development. Safu and Shion will hit it off, no denying it. And there are definately TOO MANY safu haters out there. She's an awesome character. She doesn't seem "weird" anymore but rather cool, straight forward, intelligent, observent, and tenacious. Theres no "real" reason to dislike her at this point. An example of a "fake" reason to hate her would be that she is getting in the way of a strong "fake" fantasized love between Shion and Nezumi. That's the only reason people have been racking on her this WHOLE time. People are seriously watching this show and disliking characters for the wrong reasons. Smilez!


Look, BL fans are biased. We like gay dudes; we would like to see gay relationships. Non-BL fans biased too. You're not into gay dudes; you'd rather see straight (or lesbian, but that doesn't apply here) relationships. We see the hand holding, cheek stroking, dancing, meaningful touching, accidental guard lowering, declarations of devotion, and now possibly kissing (next episode preview) between Nezumi and Shion as subtext pointing toward something beyond friendship. You see it as something else. You see Safu's love for Shion as something that could/will/is being returned. I can't speak for anyone else on this one, but I personally don't, considering he's already rejected her advances once and also referred to her as a friend.
This is really just a matter of how we /want/ to see relationships develop. So whatever you see as being 'fake' might make total sense to us, and vice versa. I partially agree with you on the Safu thing, though. She's not well developed yet and her recklessness is selfish, but I don’t see how rooting for Nezumi/Shion is a legitimate reason to hate her, considering she hasn’t even interfered with their relationship yet. Of course, I don’t mind her because she’s cute and I’d be happy to steal her away from Shion, but…yeah. That’s not exactly decent reasoning either.

-EDIT- Whoa, two pages of replies already? I'm freaking slow.

Reply: I KNOW RIGHT???? I only found out he was a boy today because Shion asked Rikaga "What's with the Dogkeeper today. Why is -he- so angry?" Totally BLEW my mind. he is more a girl than nezumi! At first , i have to admit, i went back 1 or 2 more times to look at his chest. there really is nothing there. Hes another trap character...or atleast he would be if he had the ability to take a shower. Now that i ponder even more, im reminded of the fact that he said he said his "mother" gave him her breast milk.....

I really like Safu, I don't understand how she can be annoying, we barely even see her. And from what we did see from her, she cares a whole lot for Shion and would do anything to be with him.

The one that's annoying me right now is Nezumi. He treats Shion like crap and won't tell him anything. No wonder Shion still sides with No.6. I also think letting the bees kill everyone is harsh. The citizens in the city have done nothing wrong, they shouldn't have to die. Also, not telling Shion about Safu.. not cool.

I was looking forward to a kiss scene a few episodes back, but now I'm not so sure. There's too much tension in their relationship.

lol, yep seriously! But looking up whether its a boy or girl voice actor would be pointless effort, im afraid because even in many animes the main male heroine is voiced by a female. I can tell you now that it is a girl even without checking. Its how anime producers achieve that high kiddish/feminine voice. Some other examples of this would be To Love Ru and Hitman Reborn. Tsuna and Rito are voiced by female voice actors.

the evidence suporting Dogkeeper being a guy:

1. From 13:55 to 14:00 in the episode:

Shion: "What's wrong with Dogkeeper? ...Why is he so angry?"

1. Look at his chest area (Don't worry, if he's not a girl you're not a pervert). There's really nothing there at all o.O.

i loled so hard but its unavoidable lulz besides it looked like shion was going straight for nezumi's lips so if it turned out to be some whispering thing i can see episode 7 topic being a rage topic rofl
i wonder if that little girl likes shion too ;P she seemed pretty jealous lulz
i dont see anything worth mentioning this episode since lots of them people already mentioned >_>; safu getting captured seems to be a matter of time and voila; the obligatory shion x nezumi conflict drama has started too
from the preview it looks like next epi dog keeper's gonna knock some sense into either/both shion and/or nezumi lol

"He" was used because it is necessary to give a gender to the subject in the english language, maybe the translator doesn't know if it's a he or a she either? o-o

Besides, after reading the novel (didn't finish it tho ha), I always kept the impression Dogkeeper was a girl, dunno why.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAFU!! BE SAFE~!! FUCK THE NOVEL SPOILERS I AM GOING TO MUTILATE PUPPIES IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU.

and if the kiss scene is left out, i am going to MUTILATE KITTENS too. (this AND the other one)

i'm worried about the pacing, things are happening but it still feels too slow, if this results in a horrible ending i am going to MURDER BABY SEALS.

okay, moving on.

curse you english and your need for gendered pronouns! dogkeeper will forever be a girl to me!

yesss i LIKE this shion, he's finally showing some backbone. one of the things i didn't like about this anime is that they cut off 95% of his spunky comebacks, which was a shame, it was the thing i liked best about shion/nezumi.

safu. i know why the fangirls hate her, but i cannot understand. i'm a rabid fangirl myself and i realize that she's a 'threat' to the shion/nezumi-ness. BUT! she is cute! and nice! and intelligent! and she goes after what she wants instead of being a limp-wristed whiner! WHY are all her likeable qualities suddenly discounted because she loves shion too? (who is obviously much more into nezumi anyway! but even if this ends up shion/safu which i highly doubt, WHAT ELSE IS DOUJINSHI FOR) the only thing i can fault her on is "shion's the only one i ever loved" because WHAT ABOUT YOUR GRANDMA but it's obvious she loved her too so we can let that slide.

nezumi SHOW HIM THE NOTE DAMN YOU. don't be so damn insecure, he rejected sex with a beautiful girl to run after the SOUND of your voice dammit. (okay i realize there is more to it than that, blah blah serious characterization blah whatever) i LIKE you even if you're not very nice because you're interesting BUT THERE ARE LIMITS. but if, like the preview hinted, you're going after her on your own, ALL IS FORGIVEN.

dang i REALLY want to see safu, nezumi and shion have a scene together. bet it'll be hilarious.

karan. i am so excited to see you in action next ep! *shiny eyes*

I asked someone on LJ who's read the novels what gender Dogkeeper is and they told me that it's not explicitly stated. I think it's safe to say the translator just thought Dogkeeper looked like a boy, so they gave "him" a gendered pronoun.

So, for those who see "him" as a guy? Feel free to keep doing so. And for those who see "her" as a girl? Also, feel free to keep doing so XD

In my headcanon, Dogkeeper is a girl, though there's always the possiblity of "her" being something in between too... let's not open up that can of worms though, haha.

I'm extremely confused about Dogkeeper gender...o.o...@otakubaybay if that's so, to me she's a girl :X end of story.

I want to hug Safu! I don't understand why people don't want her to be saved...T.T (yes,yes... ShionxNezumi thing / finding her annoying/...etc. - though I don't find her annoying at all...so I'm like: "o.o what the...." while reading anti-Safu comments. And I'm not a shipper,so...)
She says she's selfish herself, I think that is overwhelmingly honest and real...the thing is, most people in the world don't realise how selfish they are...Nezumi, if you don't tell Shion about Safu, and you don't do anything about it...you are terribly selfish (I like you anyway). Nezumi's resolution to destroy No.6 is really strong. Shion and Nezumi are colliding, and I guess things will get even more tense for them. I'm interested about Shion. Nezumi says they're like black and White, unlike ink, they can't mix, but maybe Shion can find the 3rd option despite Nezumi's stubbornness...I hope he does. (destroying the wall seemed interesting...but probably Nezumi was right about the final result...)
Next episode - Karan's moving...I hope she doesn't end up like Safu u.u
Go Karan!

But actually our own world is as mysterious as No.6 probably.

I feel the same! Although I was one of those who wanted (and still wants u.u) the final concrete answer,when I finish an episode, I feel that a lot has happened , then I think about it...and ...oh...And I love it anyway! (the characters, the dialogues, the conflict, the feelings, the mystery...just plain good, imo. Plus, it's entertaining, at least for me.)
There's this interesting premise of No.6 world, it makes us want to know what's behind of that society and who's causing the bee disease...Although we don't get any answers on that we can still be amused, and what we get to see is not that distant from the real world. Still, slowly, we get some clues for our big questions...the problem is that this anime only has 11 episodes (Noooooooooo! 6 from 11...less than 1/2 left u.u) ...( I just don't think about it and enjoy the moment :D)

I have 0 complaints on this show, for now. I enjoy every single minute of it. (keep it up, please!)

So, I watched all 6 eps today. Kinda regret it, it's gonna be awful waiting a week for the rest of the eps :<

I'm gonna treat Dogkeeper like Chrona from SE tbh, could be either gender easily. Lack of chest doesn't actually mean anything in non-anime land.

Anyway, they should just hurry up and kiss. Though it's a lot sweeter with all the incidental touching and dancing and so.

And poor Safu. She's actually a good female character, smart and not a giant slutty bitch, and in any show that didn't have shouen-ai themes she would be majorly shipped with every single cha- I mean liked. She's lovely.

BUT what I don't like about her, is what she's saying. starting from all that "sperm" thing - is that really a love confession that deserves any liking? off course the fact is, that she was raised in a city that is different from the normal ones, but personally I felt disgusted after seeing that scene in the anime. next, back to the topic of today's episode - "Shion's feelings don’t matter". really? if they don't matter to you, then go, and let bad people capture you, and even more, leave your beloved one with sadness, if he won't get a chance to save you. sacrifice is a noble thing, but I won't be sad, if something bad happen to her. it was all her choice, she wanted to go, she accepted the danger, so she will suffer from all the consequences of it. it is sad, her life, her fate, but still, she choose most of it. and yes - she is selfish. she want to see Shion, not rescue him. she is doing it all for herself. and Shion is not selfish, so he really deserves better than her. he should have the rights to choose his own way of living, and not being forced to rescue a friend, who got into trouble all by herself.
I think that her love is causing Shion more problems than good. it is causing him to get into trouble, it's making him choose the patch that may leads him to despair and sorrow. he may loose everything that is precious to him because of her selfish love.
but, yeah, without it the plot wouldn't ever go on.

I really like what you said. I didn't like at all when she said that Shion's feelings didn't matter. It seems like she was going to follow him even if she was rejected, i don't like those types of characters. If that happened, she just should move on with her life.
But i don't hate Safu, because 'till now she seems to be a strong character. And she reminds me of Riku from DN Angel. I just don't like her, that's all.

DOGKEEPER IS A BOY?!

WHAT


O_O HUH????

I didn't know that....thats just weird...


Reply: I KNOW RIGHT???? I only found out he was a boy today because Shion asked Rikaga "What's with the Dogkeeper today. Why is -he- so angry?" Totally BLEW my mind. he is more a girl than nezumi! At first , i have to admit, i went back 1 or 2 more times to look at his chest. there really is nothing there. Hes another trap character...or atleast he would be if he had the ability to take a shower. Now that i ponder even more, im reminded of the fact that he said he said his "mother" gave him her breast milk.....


"He" was used because it is necessary to give a gender to the subject in the english language, maybe the translator doesn't know if it's a he or a she either? o-o

Besides, after reading the novel (didn't finish it tho ha), I always kept the impression Dogkeeper was a girl, dunno why.


that is also possible...however, i think the "chest proof" is an overwhelming indication by itself. lol


In the novel,

So safu is left for dead? Hmm is Nezumi really loves Shion, he should spare both of them and go save her himself. But we all know that the not dere Nezumi would never do that.

Uhm. Am I the only one sensing Code Geass with the setting and characters alone??

did you even read the entire thread? lol go back & read the first page before you start pointing fingers.
Oh I apologize. I must have scrolled way too much after the frog gif irritated my optic nerve.
Sorry again and now I regret not picking on the right person. Spoilers without tags are really irritating on threads.

Nezumi is obviously Sasuke and Sion is Naruto. No.6 is just a more yaoi pretentious version of Naruto.
Agreed lol.

I actually rather like Safu... even if I'd like to see Shion and Nezumi together. As for that "Shion's feelings don't matter" comment - that was a stupid thing to say. She is being an idiot. But she's just a teenager and many teenagers and adults and people of all ages say stupid things and make stupid decisions. It's human and it makes the character feels real.

I wonder how they knew Safu was going to leave No. 6. If so, then shouldn't Sion's mom be arrested too? Though they might accuse her as an accomplice, because she tried to contact him.
Poor Safu.
Nezumi shouldn't keep the note from Sion, only because it'll make them argue. Not that it doesn't happen anyway... I keep wondering, what happened to Nezumi in No. 6?

Whenever a retirement home comes up, I always get paranoid too (b/c of The Giver). And that closeup of the flowers led to your thoughts exactly.

As for the preview of next week, well yaoi fans only saw one thing there and that was Shion leaning over Nezumi and "going in".

My question is: How is a kiss the only possibility here?!?! He could be seeing something on his face or it could be he will whisper something to Nezumi. People assume too much.


the kiss isn't just some mere assumption though. it's actually a major spoiler that has been the hot topic of the fandom for weeks now. i can't believe there's people out there who aren't aware about it, seeing how obnoxious no. 6's fanbase is.

For the anime, even though there may be something in the novel, they might not include it into the anime, b/c of the audience or something. Editing out small pieces, which happens a lot in dubs anyway.

I can just feel sadness approaching...

I don't like Safu, not because she's in the way (she's nowhere near Sion or Nezumi right now!) but because I just don't like her character. The whole sex thing to me was just creepy and really unattractive of a female character, bold yes, but not in a good way! If a female friend you had known for years just as a friend asked for your sperm, wouldn't that be weird? Not sexy! And a lot of what she says just feels really off. I don't know. It doesn't feel genuine enough to me, just very scientificish. Even when she declares her love, I didn't feel very moved. I am sure she does love him, but it's not the pure kinda love that I want to see. Anyone who says that they don't care what the other thinks immediately makes me worry and it wasn't in a cute way. She will genuinely get hold of him whatever and do... What exactly after being thrown out of no.6 with him? I don't see what she will achieve at all by this line of thinking, despite her being very clever. (You can tell that much) And he concidered sex after two years of seeing her and rejected her feelings, so why is she seemingly running off with the hope of seeing and staying with him forever despite how Sion may feel? (I don't see them being able to return either) I don't see her line of thinking at all! ///Ramble ramble ramble

But Nezumi and Sion separately have so much more life in them than she does, I am not just talking together, as characters they are much more likeable. Sion is growing less and less whiny and more into a likeable character and Nezumi is still as good and interesting a character. (Despite being irritating about his past but clearly the directors won't let us know his motives yet) They are much more alive and relatable than Safu will ever be. I am not meaning to Safu-bash but this is how I feel. I will be interested in any comments in response to my stupidly huge block of text. :O

Karan never said out loud that she tried to contact Shion, so they don't have proves against her. And she actually was trying to prevent Safu from going where he was. Plus, Karan doens't use that thing on her arm anymore, i wonder why. It's probably because she's out of No.6 city, she was expelled after Shion saved Nezumi. And the hand-thing probably only listen to what it's user says.

Gooood, Safu is so annoying and totally useless o.o" I kinda expected her to screw things up between Nezumi and Shion, not to get captured by the police 10 sec after deciding to look for Shion >.< Btw it makes me wonder that when they meet what'll happen since Shion obviously doesn't want her (he's in love with Nezumi after all)... Sigh... poor Nezumi, it's hard to keep your tsuntsun attitude up <3

Seems like that in the previeuw


Makes me wonder how the anime will end btw, I can't see a good ending happening tbh... the way things are now we can expect a sad or open ending :(
