Just a bit confused ... is Shion an idiot?

"Let's report it to the Health Burea!"

Dystopian City + Oath Pledges + Secret Police.
Killer biological virus that so far has targeted people who know too much.

It should be pretty obvious that this virus is no accident...

Love for the Oscar Wilde references~! I'm glad Shion decided he wants to live and experience things for himself; he can't die until he's tried everything once. ...Except incest and folk dancing. : )

Kickass interlectual characters like Nezumi are my absolute favourite, too. He's such an old romantic, the way he quotes old literature and flails his arms about, haha! ^_^ This show is so smart it makes my smile touch my ears. Can't wait for more, eee!

I knew he had a bug, but I didn't think it would try to hatch this quickly. Also makes me wonder if everyone has one or when do they hatch.

Same here. I knew once I saw that dead man in the second episode that somehow Shion would catch it too but he would be cured so that only his hair would be affected, to the dead white colour of it now. And I was right.

Some of the dialogue is weird in this, like how Nezumi first mentions sex and books to Shion, to change his mind about dying. xD

And that hair/face caressing scene. pffft. <3 TOTAL LOVE. xD

I don't really know who was the one who spread those bugs, I'm pretty sure they weren't made by accident. Maybe No.6? or someone who want's them destroyed?

I'm not really in the mood for thinking right now /sigh

For cryin' out loud, after all that happened to him in No.6 City, Shion is still naive. Nezumi should just bitch-slap him silly or something. >_<

Ah, No.6 keeps getting better every week! I had lots to say about this one, you can read my blog post, but only if you feel like it. :D Anyway, I hope they don't become enemies, I think the show works really well when they're talking and interacting and if they go their separate ways I feel like we'd lose something important. I'm glad Safu is safe too, studying abroad and all. Can't say the same for her grandma or Shion's mom though.

this anime is so female orientated,
fujoshi are bound to celebrate.

shounen ai? Boys love?
gay will always be gay, homo will always be homo, making it sound nicer dosen't change the fact

it's not my thing, so i'm out.
i do respect those who like this series, everyone has a choice, to watch it or not to.

but to those of you who still can't make out (make out?) if this show is straight,
i tell you, it's not
to continue? decision is yours.

Yay! Shion went white! And the curly tattoo left on him is cool.
He's an idiot for not liking his new appearance. I find it so cool.

Rest of the episode - BORING.
Shion is SO goddam whiny! Jeez! He's starting to piss me off.
Nezumi's character is weird.. He's creepy.

Ah well.

Its official, but its from the Taiwanese novel (there is a japanese manga and a taiwan novel). In the manga nothing happens while in the novel that happens. Yet the novel portrays different art, the designs and story deviate from the original.

so, no, we wont get yaoi moments like that one here on this version. T_T

I don't know why people are so mad about the 'yaoi' hints, when there are not any visible hints? maybe when they were younger, it was cute, but now? I wish it was a real shounen-ai anime with a good plot like it is now but it's NOT shounen-ai, so everybody should stop bashing it...
and all that talking about Safu, I don't like her, and I don't like the idea of 'waiting 2 years for the sex'. he could just say no to her without any promises. I hope there weren't that kind of scenes in the original novel.

about 3rd episode, it was quite slow, first two was better. but I like Shion's new look.

The manga hasn't gotten that far. The manga is based on the novel. The japanese novel and taiwanese novel have the same content. Only difference is that the japanese novel has no illustrations where the taiwanese novel does.

LMAO, same here, i dont mind this hint of BL but if they do anything more... im not going to drop it but i wouldnt have enjoyed it as much as i wanted to.
There part where Nezumi went " You still dont know about sex rarara..." or something like that made me go OMG haha, that came out of nowhere and thats random to say when someone is like in pain.... haha

I do wonder why the wasp thing made lines on Shions body twirling up on his face. I think that the white for his hair did made sense since for all the other people before they died went old...white hair=old WITH some exceptions. haha White's jst a hard core colour.

Shion is truly an air head, more on the reallllly nice side. After being chased down just because he doubted the city he still wants to save it.

Ahahah, he sure is! It's the kind of character I'm doomed to love...
I'm obviously very curious about Nezumi's past, as it will also reveal some things about no.6...

Shion is so naive and softy. At least, his desire to help people from no.6 is way more understandable than Nezumi's desire to see it crumbling with everyone being eaten by bees *Nezumi's badass laugh* (Sion's words - Spring/bees thing - were really poetic, I see why Nezumi loved them as the prelude of the "show" *that laugh again*)

It's funny how they get along despite how different they are. Well, we know what they say...opposites attract, it's physics...

Also, Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde references?! wow

(Bees...I already hate bees, I feel that I won't ever surpass it after this...)

Nezumi did annoy me a bit in this episode because of Shion's situation, but at the same time all I have to remember is how bad the higher-ups of No.6 must have hurt him to realize that Nezumi may be entitled to his hate.

Although, I think there's a lot of innocent people there, like Shion's mother, so it's sad that he doesn't care about them. :/ Still, it's only for Shion's sake that Nezumi even bothered with his mom, so... I guess we'll find out his reasoning soon enough.

First off, he does not have white hair because he got old. (although a very cliche possibility, i think not.)

He became an Albino, notice how he now has red eyes? thats a sign of a severe pigment deficiency in the eyes, also a trait of a severe albino. the pupa most likely gave him a pigment deficiency and turned him albino.

Second, what the hell is wrong with BL/Shounen AI/Yaoi? let me get this straight, you have no problems of a girl going up to a guy and going "I want your sperm, lets have sex!!!", but you dislike two guys holding hands, having a little liplock? way to totally discriminate, you're disgusting.

Well to be fair um... the hetero bit is considered the by well what 90% + of humans? so a male who is straight is obviously not going to go "Oh yay boys kissing!" to think they will is a bit naive. I am barely hanging in there ignoring the BL for the plot. If the plot starts to flop Ill drop this like a rock. But the 'mystery ' so far is quite good. So hope the plot doesnt fall on its face.

I watched three episodes in a row, I'm absolutely loving this! Oh my God, literature references and Nezumi's library-cum-home is breathtaking!
And Nezumi is such an intriguing character - he's mean and twisted, and yet so amazingly sweet.

My sincere and best regards to the boys who are watching this, are enjoying it and are not against the BL. I think everyone should be open minded, so it makes me happy to see those reactions, who differ from the usual negative ones.

I absolutely loved this episode. Nezumi caressing Sion like that made my heart skip a beat.

Me being a BL fan, the Boys' Love element isn't a huge part of the series in my opinion. Sion and Nezumi's relationship are very different from what you normally see in BL. They don't need to do anything to show that they "possibly love each other." It's a nice approach and it's fresh to see. Both are very important to each other and very close.

The plot is a little confusing right now since I didn't read the original light novels, but this series has definitely caught my attention. The animation is amazing, I love the soundtrack and I'm definitely looking to how the characters develop.

Yeah, quoting Oscar Wilde was quite funny. And Nezumi's hatred for the city is understandable- they did keep him locked up for who knows how long, under the pretense of a VC (unless he actually did something.) Still, he tried to make it up by sending notice to Sion's mother.

Why has there been so much of Safu's grandmother? I wonder if she becomes involved somewhere- I don't like the fact that there is a Twilight House, though that may be just my paranoia.
Overall, still a great episode!

Feels extremely shojou-y in the stereotypical sense. Some do it right with originality and good execution of plot points like Terra e, but this fails to bring up much attachment or fondness, esp. where characterization is concerned--it feels like D.Gray-Man all over again and I dropped that shit like a rock early on. Welp, can't be helped and all that similar jazz. Might check out the light novels just in case their dynamic is any better/ ever gets better (wait who am I kidding).

Dropped.
