But even then, the show managed to gain quite a lot of popularity soon after its release.

Fans absolutely loved the anime adaptation of the novel but they were a little disappointed with the ending of it. The anime is mostly based on the light novel but the ending of all three is very different. The show also has a manga version and also a different light novel series. 6’ Season 1 released on Jand came to an end on September 16, 2011. 6 Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere? For those of you who are wondering when season 2 of the show will be announced, we might have some news for you in the next section. Even then, it is really enjoyable and its uniqueness is something that is enough to keep you entertained throughout. 6’ could’ve been amongst the best anime of the decade if not for the obvious flaws that it has. However, despite its short runtime, it’s really surprising to see how it manages to build its characters in the best possible way, especially Nezumi’s character who will almost bring you to tears by the end of the show. But somehow, certain aspects, like its length and also the sidetracked fanservice, lead to its downfall. 6’ is very promising and had the potential of being something truly incredible. I guess we’ll see what happens in the stretch run! The execution of this episode at least has me somewhat confident that whatever changes we’re seeing in Nezumi are carefully crafted.Like most people, I do agree that the premise of ‘No. Then again, there’s always the possibility that this development is BONES looking at how many episodes they have remaining, going, “OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK” and having Nezumi undergo a change of heart to have more room for development at the end.

While it may seem that Nezumi has shifted his tune, I’m skeptical that this is the case at the moment. When people have that kind of hatred bubbling away inside them, it doesn’t change that quickly. There’s really no reason for him to feel any differently, right? That anger was ingrained fairly strongly in Nezumi from the start of the series. 6 through his narrow, “man, FUCK this city” glasses. (Which was quite fantastic and emotional, btw - that’s how you hit high notes with emotion, and not that bullshit Kamisama Dolls pulled this week.) Being with Shion for an extended period of time has softened Nezumi to the point where he can see individual good through Shion’s eyes, but I’d bet that Nezumi still views No. 6, even after Shion brought the city up during the final scene of the episode. 6 is still an empty mass of faces, as far as Nezumi is concerned - notice that he never said he was changing his plans regarding No. 6? You know the old saying: “The death of one is a tragedy the death of a million is just a statistic.” Safu has a name and face and clear meaning for Shion thus, she has the same for Nezumi (or something similar, anyway). (Personally, I’m of the belief that Nezumi wouldn’t have killed Shion even if Shion had gone against him.) Nezumi doesn’t know Safu, but she’s an individual who is Shion Approved, so it’s not that much of a stretch that he would risk himself to rescue her, especially if his newfound feelings are making him all confused and such.īut the whole of No. 6 (or was, anyway), he’s given Nezumi reason to believe he’s a good person and thus, fall outside his “No. Even though Shion is a born and bred resident of No. Nezumi sees good in Shion, because Shion has shown him good he has shown Nezumi that not all people are bad. However, is it really so? Perhaps it isn’t, from Nezumi’s point of view.Į-Minor’s post on the “good guy ideology” is pertinent here. 6 from the inside out? It seems contradictory that Nezumi would claim never to have forgotten the lesson that Shion taught him - that there do indeed exist people kind enough to help each other - but also to plan the destruction of the city he so despises. Or does it? If Nezumi has indeed kept Shion’s lesson with him his whole life, then was his plan ever truly to destroy No. (Or, if they do, then they’ve been unusually quiet for being such loudmouth idiots.)Īnyway, with both Shion and Nezumi being up front with each other, that adds another dimension to everything. Not that any of those people visit this site. I don’t want to pay the homophobes too much lip service (lol), but only a really silly, insecure person could possibly be disgusted by this scene.
