No.6 Anime Review

[hiriajuu]

It'd be hard for me to review the No.6 anime as a standalone series. I'm invested enough in the novels that my mind automatically recalls all the corresponding scenes from the books when I watch the anime, so I can't help but compare the two. And so I'm not going to try to review this as a standalone series, I'll be judging it as an adaptation.

oh, that quote from Shakespeare really fits with the show... i agree with what you said, all of it. I, my self, am feeling torn between feeling fond of that anime or just stik with refusing it, 'cause it let me know the novel that i'm loving so much that i cried for a written story for the first time in my life, but... i don't know, maybe i don't really agree with Bones' Sion, cause... he seems more immature in the anime... i can't help but love Sion every time i read a piece of the novel, 'cause his thoughts are that of a person who tries to learn something from all his experiences, he is a person with a greath mind, not only the heart the anime showed us... Sion understand Nezumi's struggle to not get involved with other problems... after the market scene he was feeling guilty for thinking Nezumi would save him so he tries to learn to fight for himself. It's like an "i'll fight for my life so i won't burden you, but at least let me worry for you" (Rikiga's aggression). Sion's not the little uke in distress that Bones showed us, and the missing of Sion's dark side from the beginning was something that left out a 50% of Who really Sion is. Like you said, the missing of monologue maybe was the biggest loss of all the show. Sorry, my mind is so full of thought that i can't even organize them to put a stright speach.
