ClariAMV said: I think I have no soul...I didn't feel any emotion at the end of this ep...I guess it's because I don't think Shion's actually going to die. If he does, then there's gonna be some major water works D: I think I have no soul as well because I didn't feel anything ._. either. But it looks like next episode some crazy stuff is about to happen next episode. People are going to die and stuff... -Poor Inukashi I saw her crying ;_; she's the one person I don't wanna see die. |
| Well Nezumi has a really nice voice, I'll look for that song when they release the OST.

Is the number so decreasing because there was no interaction with Nezumi and Shion, or is it because all of the homophobic people dropped this due to the last episode? .___. I'm actually surprised and wondering about the same thing. LOL Shion's missive to Karan sounds like a goddamn farewell note, ahh my heart goes out to Karan. X( |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
Coze0x0 said: @Liinah thank you, but why isn't sion against destroying no.6 anymore? he dosn't seem to be interessed in finding a way to help safu without harming no.6...but in the other episodes he was like //omg destroying no.6 how can nezumi ? D<// here the answers on your qestions: 1- why isn't sion against destroying no.6 anymore? I don't remember that Shion did say even for once that he want to protect no.6 -as empire- itself but the people inside it from these pee 2- he dosn't seem to be interessed in finding a way to help safu without harming no.6...but in the other episodes he was like //omg destroying no.6 how can nezumi ? D<// how was that?! O_O when was he was the one who came with the third option! take a look at the conversaion which was between him and Nezumi at the end of episode 6 (which was even before he know about safu's kidnapping) v v "we just have to get ride of the wall, we just have to destroy the wall, then No.6 we know it, will no longer exist, there won't be an inside or outside, you don't need to destroy no.6, you just have to wipe it off the map, there's a third option" which they're working on it now |
| The plot just seems to be going to shit right now. Nezumi is the last survivor of some tree hugging elf people? And some mystery song that still has yet to be explained makes water glow and people burst into migraines? Parasite bees are still up in the air. I'm not sure which of those are the most outrageous. |

| I can't help but admit I was disappointed by Nezumi's backstory. I kept wondering if there was more to it (before he was captured, I mean). In the novel, at least you get the reason why he was struggling against his feelings to keep Shion a "stranger" for so long. But it should have happened already in the anime, assuming they don't do some cheesy last-minute add in when it "counts the most" or something. The singing was fine with me. And moving. I didn't mind the water lighting up. I think under different circumstances, Nezumi would sing better than he would have there. I don't know about his seiyuu though. The man's a brilliant voice actor but I have no idea how well he can potentially sing. Does anyone here think the song (Kaze no Requiem) might be a clue to what's been happening and what's yet to come? The title has "wind" in it and wind is mentioned twice in the song (counting amekaze-- 雨風). A wind blew the first time Nez and Safu were affected by that song. I don't know about Safu but heavy wind and rain were around when Shion and Nezumi met. Also, the first two lines (soul carried away by the wind / heart stolen by a person/human) seem to relate to relationships, although I don't know whose. Could mean that Nez stole Shion's heart and Shion's soul went with Nez on the wind, that day 4 years before. But then why would the song be about Shion? And why is Safu involved? Unless Elyurias is also trying to get him to do something, in some roundabout way. Anyway I fully expect the rest of the song will have something to do with restoring the earth's environment. But the way the song scares people, I'm concerned Elyurias doesn't intend good things to happen to humankind, or at least No. 6. |
| This should be good now that the plot is picking up. |
Coze0x0 said: @pureromance ahhh thank you so much!

But the way the song scares people, I'm concerned Elyurias doesn't intend good things to happen to humankind, or at least No. 6. yeah, it would be great if they showed off more of Nezumi background but maybe 'cause it was the old man whom was telling the story I mean, it's not like the old man was knowing about Nezumi's life before, so he told the story from his point of view may you explain what do you meant here "in the novel, at least you get the reason why he was struggling against his feelings to keep Shion a "stranger" for so long" "assuming they don't do some cheesy last-minute add in when it "counts the most" or something." you mean the scene when they where walking on the sand? if you were meaning that one so I hoped if they made it a bit longer, 'cause I wanted to see more of Shion's reaction after knowing about Nezumi, Nezumi will keep his tsundere though, haha it's not like he will be happy to hear more of Shion's questions, he got the feeling that there's some things in Shion's mind after hearing his story though, that's why he was the one who started that short conversion and he was the one who cut it off as well by saying "let's gran a bit to eat" xD "Does anyone here think the song (Kaze no Requiem) might be a clue to what's been happening and what's yet to come?" yes, I do if you take a look on the lyrics of the song "soul carried away by the wind, heart stolen away by a human, shelter all within your embrace, to live in your embrace, oh soul, oh heart, oh love, oh hope, return here to find shelter" its lyrics reminded me with Nezumi, as if it has a connection and then that old man said "Nezumi, I believe fate has retuned you here with Shion" so he answer it ^^ |
pureromance said: Yeah it would have been lame for them to give more of Nezumi's past in front of the old man, since the man is Nezumi's god father, for goodness' sake. xD What I meant is later when they're walking back home, it seemed like Nez had more to say but then he changed his mind and said they should go have a bite to eat. But I'm OK with it. We'll see how it unfolds.yeah, it would be great if they showed off more of Nezumi background but maybe 'cause it was the old man whom was telling the story I mean, it's not like the old man was knowing about Nezumi's life before, so he told the story from his point of view may you explain what do you meant here "in the novel, at least you get the reason why he was struggling against his feelings to keep Shion a "stranger" for so long" "assuming they don't do some cheesy last-minute add in when it "counts the most" or something." you mean the scene when they where walking on the sand? if you were meaning that one so I hoped if they made it a bit longer, 'cause I wanted to see more of Shion's reaction after knowing about Nezumi, Haha... no, I did mean the "sand" part above, but in this part of what I said, I mean something that happens in the novel and manga only. I don't think it's possible for it to happen in the anime anymore. It's a spoiler for the *book* and *manga* but if you don't plan to read them, you can have a look at this part: Nezumi will keep his tsundere though, haha it's not like he will be happy to hear more of Shion's questions, he got the feeling that there's some things in Shion's mind after hearing his story though, that's why he was the one who started that short conversion and he was the one who cut it off as well by saying "let's gran a bit to eat" xD Yeah I agree except for the tsundere part. Nezumi has given up and completely let his barriers down now. He promised not to keep secrets from Shion. And now he understands how Shion felt (belittled; not an equal) and he doesn't want Shion to feel that way anymore either. So I think "tsun" is mostly over and now he's going to be mostly "dere." ;)I think there's a lot more to the song. It also seems to relate to Safu's poem, imo. |
| I liked this episode, background info, although less than we need. Nezumi singing <3 And the last scene, poor Karan. Too bad this show will end soon. |
| 夜露死苦 http://mochichandiscoversjapan.wordpress.com/ Visit my Japan adventures' blog. =3 |
| Safuuuuu~ |
| Some background for Nezumi, at last. Really nice episode, and we finally get some moving to te plot(even if it's on the 8th episode, we have just three episodes left for the real plot, I guess...) It was nice watch this episode in the early morning with my coffee :p |
| I teared up at the end :'( |
| Ah~ So Nezumi is a little forest child~ A sprite! I am somehow not surprised~(´ω｀ノ) Safu however...Eh... This means Nezumi and her are related somehow, right? Weird. Brother and sister fighting over the same boy! AWKWARRDDD |
| Nice episode good there wasn't any more yaoi stuff involved... but I did quite enjoyed the interesting backstory about No. 6 and about the new characters, the ending was quite touching as well so let's see what happens next! |
| All that information didn't really explain much...so is Safu related to this Eriulias? I was mad when that guy a made a move on Shion's mother, he's creepy and something about him is off. |

Yeah I thought considering she could hear the song , she has to be one of the forest people aswell. I agree about the guy making a move, that was awkward and so sudden ... not appropriate. |
| Nezumi and Safu can both hear the singing. I guess they're both from the forest that was destroyed? Nezumi is a good singer. I liked the song. |

| So is No.6 a group of people or is it an A.I? I'd like this story more and more without the yaoi crap. You can have friendship without kissing....and crossdressing. |
| Nezumi's singing though... I was really impressed. Never figured Hosoya Yoshimasa (his VA) could sing like that. |
DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| Interesting how Nezumi's past is connected with Elyurias which is what No.6 used to gain political power. I guess that explains how he ended up running from the government and taking refuge in Shion's house. So Safu must be connected to that forest village as well in some way if she can hear the song as well. And I actually really liked Nezumi's singing voice. Hoping that's in the OST because that'll be the first thing I download. And I guess the main crew is established now? Rikiga, Inukashi, Shion, and Nezumi are gonna try taking this whole system down themselves. Epic stuff to unfold I'm sure~ |
| well the truth of No.6 is out but somehow I am still confused…still things are spreading on Piano No Mori 6: well that was soothing to watch.. Kai moving forward.. and yes we are finally beyond the movie in the anime |
| Inukashi said ore...? I thought Inu was a girl this whole time LOL. Or is she purposefully using a masculine form bc she survives on her own (+ the doggos) and is strong? Hm :3 And I'm sorry, but that scream from Shion's mama was so funny xD *stands up in a bakery* SHIONNNNNNNNN! I cracked up xDDD |
| Nezumi's past was finally revealed but I'm kind of...disappointed, maybe? I mean, I expected something more. And all that talk about Elyurias and tge water glowing made it seem like it had fantady setting, not sure I like it much. But Nezumi's singing was beautiful, I was actually quite surprised. And that man making moves on Karan seemed creepy. |
I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| There were signs that Karan was important somehow because she's been left untouched by the regime even after her son was declared a threat and had fled. They took Safu in just because she inquired about him and was upset at the death of her gramma, that's way less of a threat than Shion was, who had brazenly disobeyed authority to harbor a fugitive. The law doesn't seem to be applied evenly somehow... And it's still unclear how they implant people with the wasp larvae, and I'm wondering if we'll get an answer. This whole episode took things in the direction I expected.... in anime, it's never just brutal authoritarianism for its own sake there's always some weird idealism and mysticism. The old man's explanation of Number 6 was a huge eyeroll... a bunch of lab coats founding a city after a war? And not the military? Some mystical power to run it... c'mon, that's just steretypical anime logic. Like you seriously use that lame sounding song to influence people, then why is it you need the security police and all this control and people snitch on neighbors for whispering simple doubts about the fucking dandelions like fucking Pyongyang? Give me a break. But if it pulls off a good ending I'll forgive it for this detour. |
