I like how cute Sion is even with his white hair and all. But everything in No.6 is just crappy. Bad acting, bad delivery, bad pacing, bad direction. It makes me wonder if this series is crappier than Fractale, even if I haven’t seen the ending of that. Let’s just get to this and end the life of this stupid show.
And they walked their separate path under the basked sun set with love for each other strong. City razed with its greed and corruption with magical golden tornadoes sweeping the left-out sinners, brining the land open to those who deserve worthy. Love and peace will rise again. Yeah, magical ending for a mediocre crappy series.
If there’s one thing that made got me thinking in this episode, is that Bones got to spend a bit more on this. The action sequence are done to boost the drama that is already overblown, but unlike the former, this time they got it where it’s is intended, though too late. Read the rest of this entry
It somewhat reminded me how C got itself gained in notoriety for having the unexpected twist for exchanging your future for money. From a shounen show, it turned to a darker and realistic philosophy on how economics and money affect a persons life and its future. The case in this goes to tell its viewers that “Hey, were not just about boys loving boys, we can also be dark.” But rather being subtle and seamless, it rather ended with a forceful turn, like it snap and forgot that it only had 2 episodes left after this.
We didn’t get any Yaoi this episode, something to praise to those who seem to get offended by it. But on the positive side, we finally get down to No6, and it wasn’t much of a shocker reveal, and we get a generic horrid past for Nezumi. It also seems that Sci-fi stuff has some magical elements in it for it seems.
Yaoi always starts with a kiss and then to bed. No.6 made me realized that most of the characters are a bunch of badly written tsun-tsun, making all of its drama cheesy. Hence, taking the liberty to express my disappointment by not using the original title. On the broad view of what happened, we did see that the bees are a by product of No.6 and it mainly directed to controlling its citizens by selectively killing them, or perhaps it is an experiment of brainwashing them remotely. Either case, No.6 is pretty messed up and you don’t want to go messing on their turf. Much worse that messing with the political clans in Mindanao.
Beside learning Nezumi’s neck fetish, we did learn a lot in this episode, surrounding the conspiracies surrounding No.6. We also get to see Safu in a more logical light, something I’m very amused as a character that does know her place. What is left, is if she will join Shion in the west district, or will Sion save Safu in one way.
Living in a postapocalyptic dytopia can get your screws loose. I can’t seem to comprehend if the episode contribute to the main story. What it only did is blare that the bees aren’t affected by any environment factors, nor in sense that it can be a product of experimentation by the government. The bee symbolism is getting prevalent it seems. I’m not exactly sure what it stands for, but for me, it rather reflects the way the chosen citizens are cultured in these walled cites. Outside the main plot, Sion and Nezumi’s relationship thickens, with Nezumi starting to get weird out on why he instinctively relaxes with Sion, and Sion being more indicative of learning the insides of Nezumi. Yes, the BL is still there with the dancing in the apocalyptic sunset, as well as the cross-dressing part – consistent in Noitamina animes. Not really a bad thing, yet it somewhat has its fault in some parts – not the BL one.
Looking at the episode total as a whole, No.6 does bring a good development on the characters, on focus with Nezumi and Sion’s mother. Although, is it me or is that the pacing and dialogue seemed scattered around the episode; or maybe I’m just sleepy when I watch it. There are a number homosexual innuendos that kind of fell off place. I also don’t get why Nezumi seems so indifferent in that particular conversation. But it seems that he is just playing along with the pimp, but I don’t see where does the conversation going or does it have a benefit of sorts. Sion is also a bit odd in this episode. He does imply that he adapts to the life outside the utopian city, but at the same time, he doesn’t seem to comprehend on the culture in the dystopia-esque society. Read the rest of this entry
The utopian-dystopia society of No.6, and let’s also include Fractale for the matter does reflect the part of religion in society, and how it is to believe on to something based on convincing front-facts. No.6 makes good use on quite a lot of its setting and it slowly uncovers the mystery, like a Marine unit sent to scout under the terrain swallowed with fog of war. The character interaction has its moments. Although, I’m quite perplexed as to Nezumi’s character in this episode. However, we are clear that he’s holding a dear mystery in understanding No.6 and how he stands to hate it. Sion however, despite how the police state threw him out, still sees it as his home and the people around it important.
Happy 23rd Birthday Hanazawa Kana-san!
