katikatFinished the anime No. 6 and man, it did me a world of good to watch anime again. It's been literally years! I really missed it. I guess I just had to find the right one to watch, huh?
So, No. 6... The official synopsis:
This is Nezumi, the boy who wanted to destroy No. 6...
And this is Shion, the boy who sacrificed everything for Nezumi - and never regreted it.
These two reminded me so much of Charles and Erik from XMFC! Nezumi was so much like Erik: he had suffered terribly and now he wanted to take revenge on the whole town of No. 6 - but then he met Shion who started changing his worldview through kindness and love...
There were some things that bothered me - like, why didn't Shion's mother even try to help despite the fact that she knew the secrets behind No. 6 - some things that scared me - like, when they had to climb up that mountain of bodies! - and some things that made me cry - like Shion's death and Nezumi's reaction to it and Nezumi's leaving at the end - but overall I really, really liked it. Why?
Because Shion and Nezumi were simply beautiful together!
Next on my anime list? Shounen Onmyouji, I guess. I never finished watching it before I got into my anime funk and I really liked both the story and the animation!
So, No. 6... The official synopsis:
The story takes place in an ideal city known as "No. 6". Shion, a boy raised in the elite and privileged environment of his home, gives shelter to another boy, who only gives his name as 'Nezumi' (meaning mouse or rat) on the former's 12th birthday. After spending a rainy night with his new friend, Shion discovers the next morning that Nezumi has left and disappeared without a trace. Four years later, Shion experiences a spate of incidents around him in which a deadly infection by parasitic bees leaves its victims to age rapidly. Shion's co-worker is one of the victims and Shion is arrested on suspicion of murder. While Shion is being transported to the Correctional Institute, Nezumi appears and rescues him. Shion begins to find out the hidden truth behind the Ideal City No.6.
