No.6 Anime Review
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.

Comparing it to the bit of the manga I read, I notice that rat didn't object to Scions plans to save people from the bee parasites nearly as strongly. Well, its hard to object to Scions plans more then 'If you try, we will be enemies for life'. Yet the two of them do complete personality flips. I suppose some of that is extreme, whats the word for manga characters who pretend hate but actually love and so on, tsundre or something, but even for that this flip is extreme and poorly explained. I can sort of understand Rats flip (except it is too extreme), but why Scion? Because some scientists implanted a bee spirit in his girlfriend? Well the bee spirit did that itself too, I didn't hear Scion being angry at the bee spirit. Anyway, that is not Scions personality. I mean if the endless pile of corpses didn't do it... And speaking of Scion change of personality when he executed that guard captain, that was not at all explained, I mean it is almost like a split personality there, the way it was done.
And how was Scion going to kill everyone in number 6? By blowing up the mother computer? Isn't that what Rat does anyway, which saves everyone? This part is absurdly confusing.
And why was everyone walking towards the bad area? I don't mean bad in the sense of bad people, I mean bad in the sense of, no vegetation. What, ALL of them had family there? I noticed vegetation was shown in the manga, but in the anime it was shown so bare, one wondered how everyone there wasn't starving to death or how merchants could have had so much food.
