#No.6 shion x nezumi full#
6, could they? Where the one was subtle, low-key and direct, the other was sheer outrageous bombast, full of sound and fury signifying… Well, I don’t know what. NoitaminA couldn’t have found much more of a yin-yang than Usagi Drop and No. It was certainly confusing enough and had just enough metaphysics to be BONES, but in the end it was a pretty unique experience, not quite like anything else they’ve done.ĮD2: 「六等星の夜」 ( Rokutousei no Yoru) (Full Version) by Aimer But while the novels might be different, I can’t help but feel like trying to make sense of the No. And Dogkeeper and Rikiga fleeing together because they “wanted to survive” was pretty anticlimactic.
I was a little disappointed that we never saw the reunion between Shion and Karan or learned the identity of Shion’s baby, and I would have liked to have gotten some sort of indication as to just what No. I’ll give BONES credit, it was certainly a breathtakingly fast-paced finale. Did I miss anything? I would have used more punctuation and paragraph breaks, but the show didn’t use any so I figured I shouldn’t either. Nezumi kissed Shion on the lips again just to remind us this was a bromance, then left for no apparent reason except so the ending would be bittersweet. Shion himself was shot in the heart, but when ElyuriaSafu went non-corporeal, she emanated some sort of magic healing dandruff that cured Nezumi’s wounds and resurrected Shion from the dead. Nezumi was shot at least three times and lost twice his own body weight in blood, but because Shion stitched him up he was able to overcome a perfectly healthy Shion and disable him, using a bomb to blow up the correctional facility, which in turn destroyed the city wall. Yoming was part of some sort of violent resistance that planned to overthrow the city, but was a casualty when the wasps hatched. 6 was conducting on its own citizens as some sort of way to harness Elyurias’ (who appears to be a giant wasp) power, with the help of a supercomputer called “Mother”. 6, which was trying to use Elyurias for their own power, because she was a perfect medium and would allow Elyurias to wipe out the city and reclaim it for nature. So what did happen? As near as I can tell, Elyurias intentionally delivered Safu into the hands of No. It just said “These go up to eleven!” and cranked up the volume of insanity. And I have to admire that, just as I did all along with this show – it never pulled its punches or worried about believability or restraint (certainly not restraint). 6 was as true to itself in the end as Usagi Drop was – it was overdramatic, confusing, breathlessly sincere and hilariously absurd. Once I again I find myself asking whether the helpless peals of laughter I was emitting after the finale were a good thing or not. Director Nagasaki Kenji’s response must surely have been, “All of it! Use it all!” I picture the inner sanctum at BONES during the planning for this final episode, with one of the staff asking what was left of the novels that they hadn’t used already, and, given the answer, asking what they should use in the finale.

6 ends on an understated, restrained and reflective note – a quiet and dignified final episode that reflected the nature of the series as a whole. Like it’s NoitaminA stablemate Usagi Drop, No.
