| 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. "/ |
| was entertaining 8/10 needed better plot that kiss at the end almost made me gag LMAO |
 |
| Just reporting in to say that I consider this ep a travesty for how they rushed everything, the piles of loose ends and the butchering of Nezumi & Shion's goodbye and kiss. I don't consider Shion's revival a problem because I paid close attention to Elyurias' song and Safu's poem. Elyurias said her song was one of survival, remember. I actually expected Nezumi to sing that song for him, and when he did, I expected Shion to be revived. Only thing that surprised me about it was that Nezumi couldn't finish the song and just lay there with tears in his eyes until Safurias did it instead. *edit* Oh yeah, and the baby at the end? WTF???!!! They should do a special in which Nezumi comes back to help him raise it. Ugh, Bones, really? I really, really wanted to give this series a 10/10 despite everything that had gone wrong before now. But this one last ep has totally destroyed that. Probably going to stay with the generous 9/10 I gave it before now. I have my complaints about earlier in the series, but nothing was worse than what they did with this ep. |
| ok, I can see that many people here didn't like the episode regardless of all of the reasons, and first of all, I didn't read the novel, so I don't know how's the difference between what happened here and there aphton said: This was epic. I dont know what you guys are thinking but I really loved everything of it. 10/10 I've the same opinion as you I loved the episode so much! it was so good even much better than how I expected, for real! it was sooo epic and I even cried! many many things happened! which made my head and heart still unstable xD 1- it amazed me how the bees killed most of the people in no.6!!! that was frightful! 2- don't know if it just me xD but I got surprised from the spite gaze into Nezumi's eyes toward Safu and leter I felt that he desired to got rid of her now and forever! now I'll say an evil thing xD but I felt it so epic when Nezumi killed Sufa x3 it means a lot! 3-when Shion snapped because of Safu's death and started to attacked Nezumi by saying those things to Nezumi about his real motives, the sad face that Nezumi show up was telling someting, was it because how Shion got mad for her sake, or if it was because that Shion lost his trust in Nezumi, or was it because part of Nezumi intend to do that (get rid of her) 4- Nezumi used his body as a shield to protect Shion 5- for the second Shion got shot, I'll give it 10/10 in shock succeeding I even thought that it could be Nezumi but not Shion! and I didn't believe that Shion died until Nezumi cover his face, I was like "h... he died... FOR REAL?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nezumi refusd to let Shion even though he died already and then he sang for Shion (it was the last thing I could expected that Nezumi sings that song for Shion!!) he even lie down beside Shion as if he gonna die beside him and seeing Nezumi's tears... made me cry for real. just what a stong bonding that between these two! 6- I got impressed by the scene after breaking that wall between no.6 and that west area 7- Nezumi (kiss of oath) I'M THE HAPPEST TO GOT SEE IT ^O^ since I was doubting if it will happen in the anime so I'm super happy to see him exchanges Shion's previous kiss even if it wes a bit rush as some said, I didn't feel that there's something like a "big mistake" through the episode, and as for 22:45 minutes.. it was a well done work! in short, I enjoyed the episode so much although I wished to see the meaningful end -with window- (novel's ending) since it ties everything to the start <3 Sure, Im also asking myself why Nezumi left but I think he just had to take a piss or something. you sure know how to tell jokes xDDDDDDDDDDD |

| Would someone mind telling me what the Youming stuff was all about? It was really hard to understand.. He dislikes No.6 for it's selfishness and stuff right? Was he a bad guy, or good guy? I personally saw him as a good guy.. Then I was like 'WHUT' when I saw him dead in his car.. WHAT KIND OF JUSTICE WAS THAT. ): |

I really like to read your replies, since I didn't notice before what you've said about Elyurias' song now, so thanks.. that made things make sense now ^^ |
| I felt a lot was unanswered, but it was only 11 episodes. We got a kiss, but not thy kiss. Oh well......Anywhoo I still enjoyed it. Maybe I'll check out the manga. |
 |
| mehhh~ ... i am really not fine with it - so someone pleaseeee give me a link were i could read the novel! |
     badge: |
| Dammit, Bones. If I don't see news for an epilogue /including the effing WINDOW SCENE/ ASAP I am going to come kick your trolling arses. You runied the most beautiful scene in the novels and slaughtered Both Nezumi and Shion's character all in a devestating 20 minutes. YOU HAD BETTER MAKE UP FOR IT. That is all. |
| I was afraid of coming to this discussion board after viewed episode 11. I feared that it would be overflown with post saying things like, "OMG THAT WAS SO AMAZING!!!" I'm glad that most of you are on the same page as me. I wasn't digging the whole homo thing from the start, but the story was great, so I just pushed through it and watched it anyways. That ending was kind of upsetting though. Safu dies, cool, Sion dies? Woah, crazy twist. Sion comes back to life? Seriously? They should of both died, or if just one, then Nezumi. I don't know. I still gave the series an 8, because overall, I did enjoy it... Minus all the gayness. |
