| SHION'S FACIAL EXPRESSION(S) @ THE END!! Gah they made me giddy. This show never fails to amaze me. When Nezumi began to sing...well that scene was just all around beautiful. I was a little upset that Karan was rejecting that man because let's face it. He's quite a catch and well being alone through tough times when you don't have to be is basicallt sabatoging yourself. WHY MUST EPISODE 9 BE A WEEK AWAY!?!? |
femalegoblin said: I was a little upset that Karan was rejecting that man because let's face it. He's quite a catch I disagree all I thought when that scene came up was "Get off his mother!" lol I couldn't stop smiling during Nezumi's singing performance. That was the best part of this episode. It was so beautiful. I won't even ask how he knew the rest of the lyrics. :P It was so sad about what happened to his family. I hope they plan to reveal the other half of that story in the upcoming episode because that's important too. Anyway great episode. I can't wait for next week! Hey did anybody else get Avatar flashbacks? |

It freaks me out... Bottomline: I do not want to know at all eventually. Also, as far as I can remember, I think No.5 was unaffected somehow. Tons of background information this episode. Much needed. :) |
     |
| Wow. Nezumi back story ftw. The only part that made me a little ehhh was that he knew every word to the song after only hearing it a few times.. Anyways, GREAT episode. Things are really gonna be crazy next episode. It's getting real, people! |
  |
| not bad at all really liking this anime. Next episode looks like shit goin to get real. Cant wait for next episode |

The only part that made me a little ehhh was that he knew every word to the song after only hearing it a few times.. Anyways, GREAT episode. Things are really gonna be crazy next episode. It's getting real, people! anyway, initial (mostly incoherent, copypasta) thoughts this episode: SAFUUUUUUU *brb crying forever* yoming's looking pretty creepy in the previews there. :/ also, dude, you're moving WAY TOO FAST, that bordered on badtouch territory. *sniffs disapprovingly* i know you're grieving too, and you believe you've found 'another one of us' but still. NEEDS MOAR SPACE BAR hahah i KNEW it, old man was just like shion! :3 LOL from the very beginning of their convo i was like "GDI stop it with the preliminaries and hurry the hell up i wanna know noooooowww" nezumi's past was kind of expected. i think it's the OP that planted the ideas in our head--the cross markers and in falling trees. who else thought he wasn't from number six but from 'outside'? man, i really like the OP more now (yeah even the singing, it grows on you okay?!) shion and nezumi's backstory, plain for all to see. ...is it just me or did all that talk on elyurias scream fantasy fantasy fantasy and not, you know, sf? well we were expecting no. 6 to be 'soft' sf from the beginning right, but still. also, because it is hilarious and nezumi is TOTES AN IDOL SINGER Y'ALL:  |

| Karan crying at the end was so sad. And Nezumi's singing is beast :O! I wouldn't be surprised if his seiyuu did alot of singing. Getting so interesting! And happy all the yaoi stuff is over ;p @keikanna44 Haha I soo did about the avatar flashbacks! |
| God Nezumi's voice is great!!! |
| Answered so many questions and left questions. Ohhhhhh the next episode looks interesting. |
 |
| Fuck yeah, plot! |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Looks like things are getting interesting again. Definitely looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| omg the ending almost made me cry T.T can't wait for the next episode!! looks exciting |
| Ok, no offense but that was just really creepy. Like, the whole song with the weird fairy lady or whatever (not really a fairy, but for some reason I imagine her as a fairy. Don't ask, don't judge lol) Anyways, Nezumi's singing was just beautiful. Almost made me cry. But what did end up making me cry was the ending...well almost. I kind of watched this halfheartedly so that's probably why I have such a negative response and very uncertain sort of feeling. It just didn't make me interested, it just kind of made me go 'okay, that's cool now hurry up and speed things up'. I mean, sure this episode gave a lot of answers and things are more understandable, but...I don't know. |
| I really liked this episode, but I felt so bad for Sion's mom at the end. Was it just me or did they extend/alter the ending song? I think they did and I really like it, but I can't find it anywhere. |
| I dunno why but i cracked in Nezumi´s J-Pop karaoke moment XD Overall, another awesome episode. now we know Safu is somehow connected to Nezumi... And Nezumi is from the people of the forest...hum... poor Karan, i really pity her, but i pity more Safu. T_T And Nezumi x Shion OTP FTW ~~~~ |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| This whole episode, just omg. I can't you guys, I just can't. All of these emotions are killing me. ;o; And Nezumi's singing...oh god. ;o; Just oh god. ;o; Anybody willing to read my review on this ep? xD;, |
Elfana said: I suddenly wonder... There are six places... And No.6 is one of them, right? Is it this bad in all the other cities too? Apparently not, if you'll remember the scene after Safu had cleared customs when returning to No. 6 that person she was talking too commented that she knew Safu was returning to No. 6 because she didn't freak out about the tracker wristband. That implies only No. 6 tracks its citizens to that level, so the other cities are (hopefully) saner. otakuthon49 said: Also... What on Earth are those people doing with Safu? It freaks me out... Well going by the hints in the episode, I'd say they're doing a bit of genetic manipulation to try and get someone that can sync up with whatever Eculard (sp?) is. Since that seems to be some kind of nature spirit (notice how the water changed when Nezumi sung, also it was reacting to Safu's moods) I believe we have a true take over the world plot by the controllers of No. 6. They're hoping to gain control of Eculard and then use that to take over everything. Enyo-chan said: Was it just me or did they extend/alter the ending song? I think they did and I really like it, but I can't find it anywhere. They did extend it this time, I'm not sure the ED single is out yet. I know the OP single is though. |
Enyo-chan said: Was it just me or did they extend/alter the ending song? I think they did and I really like it, but I can't find it anywhere. The full song's been released a while ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgiZ8wDbwcs Youtube keeps removing it tho. @Crii- Nice review~ The plot is really moving now. Heh. But wtf, is this Nezumi or Inukashi? It's suppose to be Nezumi, right? Why the hell is his hair and clothes like Inukashi? Lulllllzzzzzzzzzz  |
epiklow said: It's suppose to be Nezumi, right? Why the hell is his hair and clothes like Inukashi? Lulllllzzzzzzzzzz LOL my first thought when i saw the scene was that exactly XD long hair, torn up clothes random missing tooth made me chuckle a bit the ending was quite emotional with the letter to Karan Nezumi's singing was pretty well done but we still dont know how Safu has anything to do with the song though o_O needless to say itll probably be related to the whole "sample" thing they were talking about the extended ending really made a big impact in the episode for me especially lyrics wise Next epi: uh oh inukashi's crying, yoming going mental and tanks that shoot weird sound waves invading O_O; with 3 episodes left the finale is closing in =I |
jjoym said: ...is it just me or did all that talk on elyurias scream fantasy fantasy fantasy and not, you know, sf? well we were expecting no. 6 to be 'soft' sf from the beginning right, but still. I thought this too. I love fantasy, but it seemed kinda out of place in this story. The world of No.6 seemed firmly based in the confines of science up till now, it was a bit jarring. I don't really like where the story's going... And with Nezumi's singing, I was prepared to cringe at it, but his VA is a surprising good singer. And did Nezumi not notice that his singing was causing the water to glow? If it was me, I'd be freaked out, but maybe he experienced that kind of thing when he still lived in the forest. And if Safu can hear that singing too, does that mean she's descended from the forest people? We never do see her parents... Maybe she's related to Nezumi and they're like long lost siblings or something. lol, that'd be so clichexD |

| omg!omg! ive been waiting for this moment! wahhhhh!!!I totally love Nezumi's voice.!!!!!. i totally love him <3 <3 and..i didnt expect to be teary-eyed at the last scene !! T-T anyway, the preview of the next ep is something to look forward to!! |
 |
Coze0x0 said: I dont understand a thing right now @__@ I think I missed out something... why approves sion the idea of destroying no.6 correctional facility (is it called like that? my english is bad..you know what I mean this thing in the middle of the city...)? Pls explain me << nezumis singing was so beautiful <3 Not sure if i understood your question, but Nezumi and Sion want to destroy it so they can save Safu and other people that are there. & anyone know the name of the song Nezumi sang? I really want it. <3 |
| LOL @ Nezumi karaoke moment, i just... as much as i love this show, i must say that scene is so CHEESY!! and also, isn't this anime suppose to be science fiction? oh yeah, Safu can hear that song too!! is that mean Safu is one of the survivor too? hmm interesting... good episode because lots of question is answered but i gotta give it 3/5 because of Nezumi's karaoke moment and because there's no passionate tongue kissing between Shion and Nezumi this time... |
| More info about No.6 past. Still wondering what did they do with Safu. Nezumi singing was good and another version of the ED was win!! Next episode seems awesome. femalegoblin said: Hey did anybody else get Avatar flashbacks? Me!! :D |
If this is what Nezumi looked like as a child, then I dont see ANY reason why Inukashi/"The Dog Keeper" isn't a guy. WELL, OMFG; they look identical here. HE MUST BE A GUY. I am really worried about Safu. The fact that we can't see her face makes me think the scientists are mutating her into a kind of human queen bee thing named Elyurias the 2nd or some creepy sh*t like that. If that happened then I'd be all up for Nezumi x Shion. I was really disappointed when Shion's mother kinda rejected the detective like that. But I wonder if he really just wants inside her pants or something and that his whole objective is to rape her and then make her also "disappear". What if he works for the people who experiment on and kill all the unwanted civilians too. Probably not though, right? That was a nice song by Nezumi too. I don't know why people would cry over it though. This seemed to be the long awaited plot episode we wanted and not so much the emotionally stressful one. However some people still broke down few reasons at all...doesnt hurt anyone though. When I saw That kind of old man with the white hair I knew he had also survived he parisite bees. I think that he is Shion's father as well, maybe. We haven't learned anthing about that S's dad yet, so why not? He was in the same picture as Shion's mother. So I thinks he is anyways. Lastly, they shouldn't have told Karan that they were going to rescue Safu. It will just cause her to do something reckless like going after them and she'll probably die pointlessly. And that would just suck. want more; want morer; want morerer |
| I love hearing Nezumi singing! *squeal* |
| oh my god I want to know more and poor nezumi I hope they save safu or something |
| Life is bittersweet can you live with that? |
| Am I the only one who reacts all "oh my, no musicals, please" here? I mean, it was a beatiful scene, but I don't know, maybe is just that I can't imagine Nezumi singing or whatever, because he is kinda of the quite badass type to me. Well, episode 8 was good, but not one mindblow for me. They finally tell about Nezumi's past (ow, and it really looks like Inukashi, maybe both of them are from the forest and that's why she cares about he singing for her and stuff). About No. 6 past, it was a little progress finally, but we don't really know at all about the bees and Safu (oh my, Safu, are you alright?). So, I liked it, but was not a revelation episode, so we just have to wait to see some action about saving Safu and destroying No. 6. I'm worried, because 20 minutes are such a short time (this episode passed in a blink of a eye), so I don't know if everything will be proper cleared for us. Is there a sequel or something? Or it is really gonna end in episode 11? |

millo said: LOL @ Nezumi karaoke moment, i just... as much as i love this show, i must say that scene is so CHEESY!! ... ..hee hee have to admit I second this. I was also preparing to squint my eyes but he sang pretty nicely. It's just that I'm used to Western singing techniques and being a fan of serious musical productions set my standard pretty high, and that wasn't... well, you get the point. I feel like they can dump some moar info in this epi but they didn't. As in the creation of No.6 itself... I was expecting more intricate details, badass sociology terminologies and such but the exposition went for general. I didn't feel a sense of fulfillment at knowing Nezumi's past too, am I getting too dense, should I watch this epi once more, or could it be delivered better? Nevertheless next one's gonna include one of my favorite scenes from the novel, maybe, so looking forward to it. |
| Nezumi's singing was pure win, I loved it~ I can't help thinking what is the connection between Safu and that Eriuleas or who... I think Nezumi is hearing her singing because he is one of the "People of the forest"~ |
 |
| So what's the link between Safu and Mezumi? |
| Meeting a man who named Nezumi, created No.6, and knows Karan? Nezumi singing what he heard with Safu. "Eriuriasu"? People trying to get her power for peace and Nezumi was the survivor of the species as her? To make something with no conflict (utopia) = eliminate any conflict. Youming investigate about No.6 because he lost his family. Karan doesn't want Shion to do what he's going to do? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Bringing in a folk plot with a powerful life-force filled tree. Urban to elvish. Let's have singing and dancing around a bonfire! O.o Ah well, nice singing. I liked the lighting up of the river. Filled the song with visual energy. :) Safu, wake up already! So she's got forest-blood in her? Lalala... Yay! More action coming up. And more love from Nezumi to Shion? -.- My heart goes to Karan. I SO wanna dig into her bakery though. :P |
| _____ _ _ ______ Within pain, there is desire. _____ _ _ ______ |
| This episode bored me to death... :| |
| I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. However looking back after three days I wonder what they are going to do from now on. I don't know the novels or manga, but looking at the pace of the last few episodes I feel like the only possible conclusion that could be reached within three more episodes would be a cliffhanger. (Comparable to Deadman Wonderland maybe?) Actually I'm somewhat afraid of the possiblilty of it ending within those three following episodes ... maybe because I just can't imagine how that could happen without switching to a pace that would break the atmosphere apart. :/ |
| Karan sure has it rough with her beloved son going on a suicide mission and with creepy guys adoring her near and far. Anyways, great episode. Nice to be able to finally fill in some gaps in information. The next episode looks pretty good. No. 6 isn't waiting either! |
 |
| And out goes the "Yaoi" everyone was complaining or cheering about. It's quite strange normally when I post on the No.6 forums, once it hits late Sunday here, there would be 120+ posts but right now I'm the 50 something commenter. Is the number so decreasing because there was no interaction with Nezumi and Shion, or is it because all of the homophobic people dropped this due to the last episode? .___. They tried hiding Nezumi's reason for hating No.6 for so long. After I heard the story I'm like, "Yeah that's sad, but I've heard it so many times in anime!" Why does that song hurt their head though, not just Nezumi's but those chased from No.6 and Safu too (the experiment girl). So I see Karan has a love triangle going on with Yoming and Rikiga ;) She may have been in that picture...but we have no idea what she's done to be in that picture. I'm a guy, I'm straight but Nezumi's voice was sooo serenading lol |
