NO. 6 YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS, NO. 6.

[woodburner]

So like. A week or two ago I watched the first few episodes of No. 6 thinking it was going to be yet another crappy excuse for slashy boys, because sometimes those are fun, right. But then it was like. WHAT. DID I JUST WATCH. THIS IS ACTUALLY LIKE. GOOD?!! Also: EVEN GAYER THAN ADVERTISED, HOLY CRAP

Bonus! I am so far pretty impressed with the couple of secondary female characters. They don't appear all that often, but when they do, they're AWESOME.

THIS SHOW LOOKS AMAZING AND I WOULD DESPERATELY LIKE TO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW.

but i do not know what noitaminA is, or what time/channel this suggests no.6 is running on. or can I find it online maybe? DDDD: I DESPERATELY need a new BL-ish series, it's been so long...

[woodburner]

It's being streamed on crunchyroll, or you can get torrents for the episodes from places like tokyotosho.

noitaminA is a late night time slot on Japanese TV (no idea what channel) that's known for broadcasting slightly "different" or "artsy" anime - Mononoke (uber-artsy historical horror) and Horou Musuko (a gentle slice of life show about transgender kids) both broadcast during that slot. I didn't know No. 6 had the slot when I started it, or I might have expected more of it than a crappy excuse for slashy boys. XD;

Uwaah, cool! :D Thank you so much for sharing!!

I LOVE THIS DAMN SHOW. ;_; Between this and Penguindrum, anime is officially saved for me.

IKR?!

I'm also kind of liking Dantalion - it doesn't have much plot, but it's so atmospheric and the music is so nice. Three anime in one season I'm enjoying?! UNPOSSIBLE.

[quaedam]

Ooh. I'll have to try that one too. :D (I'm also gonna check out Blood C and Nyanpire just...because, but I'm not sure how good I think either of 'em are going to be.)

[woodburner]

Blood C has so far been dead boring, but somehow I just... keep watching the next episode. Idek why. (The monster designs are kind of awesome, though.)

This show has been making me very happy. Their love is so pure omg. Also I can't stop thinking about this stupid song in relation to Nezumi, which drives me crazy. Disney has ruined my life.

hahaha, holy shit this show is my dream come true

[princeliness]

i love this show and the novels. i'm really hoping they do a good job with their relationship in the anime because if it's toned down anymore i will cryyy.

(i just love them so much)

OMG YOU READ THE NOVELS. I wish I could read the novels. ;; I srsly spent like 2hrs straight earlier today scouring the internet until I found someone explaining how the series ends, because I could totally not handle the possibility of this show breaking my heart. o_o

[princeliness]

i've only read the first one because it's the only one translated so far, but there are also excerpts flying around from different novels. ;_;

[woodburner]

OMG I SAW SOME OF THEM IN MY SEARCH. Bones, you better put this shit in here. (otoh if you do my heart is bound to explode)
