Summary:

Sion is intelligent, highly educated and lives a privileged life within the walls of No. 6, one of six city-states that was built after the world was destroyed from war. But Sion's comfortable existence changes forever when he meets Nezumi, an escaped convict, on the eve of his twelfth birthday. Due to his assistance in keeping Nezumi safe, Sion loses his rights and is forced to live in the lower town, where he becomes a normal citizen. Four years later, Sion finds himself back in Nezumi's company and in the midst of a dangerous conspiracy that leaves a trail of bodies in its wake. What is really going on in No. 6?

***************************************

In the English Version Nezumi is called Rat, means the same thing. ネズミ

No.6 is what you would expect from a post-apocalyptic futuristic world. The utopia thats anything but, the happy people that are mere pawns, and the rebels who want to show everyone the light. Add some kick ass action and blood and you see what No.6 is on the surface, its main point.

Underneath that is where some people start to dislike the show. Feel as if they were tricked. I admit that even I was surprised and a bit confused by it, but not at all did I mind it, actually liked it.

You see, No.6 has a very strong Yaoi/shounen-ai undertone between Sion and Nezumi/Rat. Anyone with eyes can see that the relationship is there, but there are still Nay Sayers and debates about the facts.

Even though there are Yaoi elements, it is not at all the focus. So even if you don't enjoy that kind of thing No.6 could still be an anime you would like to watch.

Video, at the end Nezumi is freaking out because Sion touched his neck and he didn't even see it coming. So, he is like does Sion have some type of ninja stuff going on that I don't know about or have I really let my guard down that much.

I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
