| The anime grabbed me from the start, and I liked it overall. It's just that not a lot was explained unfortunately. Also I love how people get turned by this supposed "yaoi" theme, which was hardly to not even there. 8/10 still though. |

| I absolutely love that ending song, it's just so beautiful and matched this conclusion perfectly. That baby was just too adorable and makes me think about how just like that newborn baby, the world was being reborn full of hope as well. As a whole this came as a mixed bag. I enjoyed the various themes and ideas it brought to light, but it felt very inconsistent - particularly with the characters and their behaviors. Why did Nezumi even have to leave Shion? No.6 is no more so unless I missed something this seems completely unnecessary. Additionally, Nezumi's attitude and "survival of the fittest" mentality came off as edgy and angsty at times. As for the story, I think it was solid and I enjoyed the mystery but it felt like a fair amount of potential was wasted. The time they spent focusing on the characters was mostly well used, but I would have preferred a stronger focus on the plot. No.7/10 |
 |
| I can't believe it's over... what an amazing show! wow.... (and they kissed again aghh, forever my otp♥) 10/10♥ Really wasn't expecting to love this show as much as I did! sdfjsdfsjdfjsdfjsdfsd |
| I really enjoyed most of this show, and I thought the relationship between Nezumi and Shion was nice, but the last episode felt rushed and contrived. It probably could have benefited from another episode to space the narrative out better. 7/10 |
| Great show overall. Amazing, tense story, interesting characters, amazing soundtrack. But God damn, im sick and tired of ending like this. Why does almost every anime with good story has ending like this ( i wont even write animes like that, list will never end ). Why did Safu die, why couldnt Nezumi sacrifice himself for Safu and Shion? Idk, transfer Elyurias to him so those two can live happily ever after. Since they made ending emotional, why couldnt they make mother and son reunite scene? Or if nothing else, Shion could die too, that would also be better ending than this one. plzhelpme42 said: @ all the people who thought "the romance is obviously between him and his childhood friend" lol Well, it would be if she survived. But i didnt expect he will swing this way xD |
 |
This is what I thought throughout the ending. |
 |
| I had to re-watch some parts. It was a bit confusing. I'll give the series a 6/10. It started off strong, but really dragged during the middle episodes. I'm glad it picked up again at the end. |
| I haven't read the manga/novels, but solely based on the anime, I give it 8/10. So many feels. And the ending kiss. So great. |
| *sigh* BONES *sigh* Sion got reunited with the baby instead of his mother. T___T 7/10 |

| That kiss .... I'm not sure how I feel about that... everyone's saying it's not enough (Compared to the manga atleast). Does Sion's mom ever find him? Questions... Also I swear I've watched this ending before in a different anime. |
| A somewhat rushed happy/not happy end for everyone. I liked the show concept, but is was definitely rushed and then yaoi.....NOT MY THING!!! 5/10 |
 |
| I just liked this series, I expected more. For me it build up nicely until episode 10, but episode 11 ruined it for me. After seeing episode 10, I gave the anime a 9, but now, I want to give a 7.5, it's not good enough for an 8, but not bad enough for a 7. But really misses that extra to give an 8, so 7 it is. |
| This anime was nice, I started hating it around episode 5, and loving it at 8 again xD |
| Another kissing scene ugh. Still a nice show but the ending feels rushed and a lot of things left unanswered. Would be much better to show the reunion of Shion and his mother. |

Snowley said: What are you at, people?! It was great. A bit of Deus ex Machina at the end, but it's not my first time seeing this. But is was my first time in different sense - crying at the happy ending. Yes, it makes no sense. Fuck that. I love how it turned, what characters achieved, and that it was completly the opposite of what I expected (in a good way). It was rushed - but the whole series was that way. Still it managed to give a great piece of character developement. Haven't seen such in a while. THIS! Also, what's with all the homophobic comments? I'd understand if you have something against the story or the animation, heck even the music, but don't go hating on the show just because two guys kiss. Seriously. Grow the hell up. |
 |
| WHAT....???!!!! I DON'T GET IT!! WHATTT!!!?!?!?!?! And that kiss though, I loved it!! I was fangirling so hard. lol Their friendship is so damn sweet. But still..... WHAT?!?!?!? So Nezumi and Sion separated at that point so Sion could return to his mother. Safu's gone as well as El-something. I actually enjoyed this series but that ending, it could've been better. It was too rushed. TheMy feels were cut off... @____@ I guess I'm just gonna go read the manga now. I hope it has more answers and a better explanation... On the plus side, I really love this show's OSTs. :) |

| Episodes 1-5 were masterpieces. I would give them 10/10 and everything between 6-10 was not as good. To be honest, things went down hill so 6/10 for those. Now let's talk about episode 11 ... I give it 2/10 My overall enjoyment of the shoe lands on 4,5/10. Sorry guys, I just got annoyed the more I watched it and I really wanted to like it. |

| The ending for this series was definitely rushed. Nothing was really explained; Safu merging with Eriurius (whoever she was anyway, no.6 itself?), the wasps, the tornado's and Shion being bought back to life. Urgh. Despite this I still give this series an 8/10. The series started strong and I enjoyed watching the friendship between Shion & Nezumi, but most importantly I loved the dystopian world the series depicted. I enjoy series such as Ergo Proxy & Terra E because they depict an alternative urban reality where everything is not as they seem (I study urban planning so built form and cities interests me). The OP was fantastic as well, probably one of the best I've come across, I kept re-watching it constantly, I'm listening to it as we speak. I am honestly considering reading the manga for this series as I'm interested in learning more about the city no.6 & it's secrets. Does the manga differ much from the anime? Does the anime spoil the manga much or is the manga still able to stand on its own? |
Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| safu dying was sad but shion and nezumi not dying in the end blew the gas. The kiss in the end downed the rating for me,i could not watch it. |

| The show was really good until the last episode. That was confusing. You know, I'm thinking I'll read the novels and pretend I haven't watched this. I can see the potential of the anime, so I bet the novels will be amazing. |
 |
| This anime had the potential to be good but just... Didn't live up to its potential. Eh. As the title goes, this is a No.6/10. |
 |
| All I wanna say about this anime is "DOOSHITE??!!" |
| being a yaoi fan im in rage right now!! wtf ending!! justice pls. |
Same lol I didnt even know this was that kind of anime until it was too late... |
  |
| That ending made me cry. Jeez. Why can't they just be together? AND THAT KISS! KYAAAAA! And I hope everyone will be in peace. I like that it's open-ended which is my cup of tea. :) 8/10 |

| Wow I cried when Elyurias brought Shion back to life. Two episodes ago he was saying a song couldn't save anyone, but the song of his people ended up saving Shion's. It almost seems as if it was Safu's final wish for Shion to be alive and happy with Nezumi and his mother than with her in her afterlife haven (she is a goddess now afterall). Nezumi and Shion parted ways because they now have their own lives to live and paths to follow..but the series ended with the note Nezumi sent to Karan - "we'll reunite, without fail." So Nezumi and Shion's love will never die or wither, they will always be together regardless of distance. Beautiful! This show was a wild ride. 10/10 from me. |
| i feel the anime woulda been waayyyy better without this stupid mission to rescue saffu .. like hell man for all we know she coulda being dumped into that place full of bodies and be dead by now.. but oh NOOOO ''we will go save her''' and all this to save just 1 girl tat leads to a happy'?? ;:cough:: ending conveniently... also wtf with safu just standing there... woulda being more realistic if she was inside of a water tank or somthing glowing ..and naked... or somthing ... there reactions to seeing her just standing there was not realistic as well.. cuz like srsly what exactly happens when they take u to the Correctional Facility.?? do they lock u up? and '''correct u'' and send u back? or just dump the body or somthing? like thinking safu would still be fine and going to through all that trouble for just 1 girl... ..it was so unnecessary... and boom door opens.. and safu standingg there.. all's fine and dandy i rly liked the relationship of Nazumi and shion it was cool but the whole ''rescue safu'' sht was rushed into a convivenent ending that was also rushed just ruined it alll for me ... also that kiss again... like wat.. is this guy love? or is lip kissing a thing in japan? or where this is based on i dont mind though also the fact on how she got caught to begin with was so retarded.... and the mom sending a note to '''help her'''? wtf woman is wrong with you ? u think thats a easy task? ITS HER fault this whole ''misson to rescue safu'' even started if she actually cared about shion she should'nt have send a Note to HELP HER.. like wtf after that episode everything else was shit ok so starting from ep 1... a rushed meeting between 2 individuals. ok boy helps vc. boy gets in trouble boy gets demoted to lower district.. timeskip.. boy sees corpse and is taken in... individual 1 appears and saves boy and from the vibes the anime was giving off.. i thought the whole plot here ... was to save the city from the parasite bee thingys.. next character development episodes and fights about ''destorying wall'' or destorying no6 new characters introduced... ok ok it was nice... then on the side note shion is trying to make a cure off hes blood... alright ..so retarded.. wtf r the higher ups controllnig no6 even doing? do they even have any idea wat there messing with? . basically there no brainer ''bad guys''' that the mcs must defeat... thats it there was'nt even any boss character or anything... just a bunch of ''badguys''' in suits ...i did'nt even see a shed of intelligence in the '''bad guys''' actions just plot armor driven story... then this useles side story on safu.. then suddenly '''i have to save safu''' seeing the difficulty from the last few episodes he woulda never even come close to rescuing her if he went ... the anime woulda ended there... so fricking retarded he basically wanted to commit suicide also i actually thought throughout the whole anime that the mc gained some kind of power after the bee incident . as a successful experiment.. cuz thats wat i thought the anime was hinting to... but guess not... so.. WHAT Exactly The FUK was no6 badguys even trying to do? planting bee shell egg watever ? to what? to control? gain somthing of the powers elyurias had? also why did'nt elyurias save the forest folk using her '''almighty'' power?... was she just a god figure to the people? like a god they prey to ?but then wtf happend in last ep? shes real? were they actually trying to inencarcate a god into a humans body? and try to controll the power for there own benifits ? thisi s beyond stupid the world was at ''peace?'' were'nt it ? wat more could they fricking want thingys in the peoples bodies so was this whole anime for saving 1 girl? and conveniently the girl he wanted to save.. just had to be conveniently possessed by ' '''elyurias''' and was literally standing next to the ''''mother?''' computer and planting a small hand bomb created a huge explosion that actually destroyed it.. seeing how important it was.. u'd think they woulda built better defences around the mother computer thingy.. so 1 simple bomb would'nt damage it to the point it would actually explode.... and oh look.. conveniently all the other computers or watever self distructed ? cuz mothercomputer is gone.. how convenient then we get that useles scene where shion gets mad at nazumi saying he used him to destory the computer thingy... then a scene where hes shot protecting shiion... then a scene where '''nazumi was dying?''' and shiion trying to save him then we have another stupid scene where shion is shot .. and conveniently? in the heart? at least thats where i think the bullet landed to logically kill him instantly where nazumi suvivied like 3 bullets cuz there were not in crtical areas.... then theres the stupid scenes involving ''dogkeeper'' and '' rikiga'' why would they put them selfs in so much danger for 1 guy they barely know to save another guy''girl....... they barely know ..and OH LOOK... nazumi is STILL ALIVE .. SOMEHOW.then that other stupid scene where a bee queen '''elyurias''' appears and heals both there wounds... then theres the stupid scene with that girl and shions mom... and that other stupid scene where all the unimportant npc people of the city and outside wall in a daze walking towards each other like idiotic zombies... then we have another stupid scene with shion and nazumi kissing and nazumi disapearing to who knows where... and the dog bringing the baby to shion ... as if poraying shion having a baby with nazumi... which was awkward ... then it ends there with him destorying the chip and walking towards the broken wall ? honestly everything made no sense the anime started out as a great above average anime but soon plummeted... thats what i get for having high expections though... |

| Bad anime. I do not even say bad because of the homo factor, but because the direction is bad, the story is bad, the characters are bad. The girl at the beginning of the anime just wanted Shion's sperm. kek |
| I cried when Shion was dead and Nezumi started singing. RIP me. But like...why did they part ways at the end? I don’t understand. Why did they leave each other? Are they gonna get back together? What? |
| The end is a big confusing mess. It was massively enjoyable but damn does it not answer questions what so ever. Sigh. That kiss at the end was also great but um hello? Reunion?? WHERE??? Gonna have to go read the novels or the manga I guess . . . |
 |
| In my own perception of things, both Shion and Nezumi died. When Safu appears and wakes dead Shion, Nezumi witnesses it. There was also a cut between the scenes, from when Nezumi was singing a song to the point of staying layed down next to Shion, also he was incredibly hurt at that time and he didn't have anyone to help him. After that scene they both stand up and go outside without showing signs of being injured. Nezumi goes away because the afterlife has another intention/purpose for him and, in some way, nothing connects them anymore so he's "free". |

In any way, I think most anime have their own way of telling things without relying on the manga. That was just my hypothesis for the last episode, people don't need to take my vision seriously. |
| I am glad shion did not die but the ending was pretty weird.. still don’t know whether Nezumi and shion were a couple or not ..don’t know how I feel about the end |
