No. 6 episode 5: Shall we dance?

X__X So late at night and this is my only blog post of the day? Silly little me. But while I barely caught up on blogging today I did accomplish a lot. I think I am recovering from the evil that is the con flu and with this extra energy I got some things that needed to get done around the house. X__X Stuff can pile up so fast when you are on vacations and then are a sick little blogger.

In other news my thumbs hurt and I am completely out of thumbtacks. Also my poster days may be over soon as my ceiling is nearly all covered. Unless I can convince my husband to let me start hanging posters in other rooms of the house.

What do you mean Nezumi has rats?! That is crazy talk!!!

But in between catching up on blog comments and going through the 329482 pictures I have taken thus far this year I had time to watch No. 6 episode 5. Spoilers for Nezumi being a woman and a dance teacher.

Come to me little sheep.

Episode Summary: Safu’s grandmother is being all nice and old thinking about her granddaughter off having adventures. One of the ladies in charge of watching the older folk complains about her job to her boyfriend. Then the black mark of doom appears on her face and she instantly turns into an old person and dies. The Ministry of Up to No Good shows up to collect the body and possible to Men In Black on the witnesses. Safu is having a great time in No 5. She has new friends and is making up poems about souls and stuff. She seems to be very knowledge about kissing and reproductive feelings. Over in the Real World Sion is reading to a few kids. When they leave Nezumi talks about how Sion is too soft to survive in this world but Sion is like well that girl is wearing my own sweater…..After being called out on being a nice person Nezumi refuses to let Sion see him perform and talks about moving out. Sion is sad that he doesn’t know more about Nezumi. DogWatcher laughs that Sion is even trying. When asked she says she doesn’t know why Nezumi hates No.6 but she doesn’t care for the place either.

I thought I was so good at hiding my feelings!!!!!

Rikiga and his perverted self shows up. He doesn’t seem to be scared of dogs trying to eat him but is scared to death of dogs. Rikiga has BREAKING NEWS that people are aging and dying instantly. DogWatcher then remembers that HEY Sion told me this already. Then Sion is like MOG let’s go tell Nezumi even though he already knows. X__X So they go to watch Nezumi perform Hamlet. Only he is not the lead but Ophelia. Sion is captivated by Nezumi’s performance and eagerly watches. Nezumi is like oh crap but looks like he wants to go on with the play. Suddenly he and Safu who is at a museum looking a picture of bees both get extremely dizzy and hear a song. Both look sick and pass out. Nezumi then has a dream about black ooze and bees. He wakes up with Sion RIGHT in his face asking if he is okay and can he do math? Sion was afraid that Nezumi had a bee in him but Nezumi insists he knows the cause of his dizzy spell. Sion tells Nezumi the bees are appearing again in No. 6 so Nezumi decides to celebrate by teaching Sion to dance. After the impromptu Disney moment Sion insists that he was really worried that he was losing the most important person in the world and he wants Nezumi to be okay. Nezumi is worried he has let Sion too close and doesn’t know how that happened. THE END!

XO I like how this series slowly draws you. But not slow enough to put you in a coma like some shows called Blood-C. There is enough going on to keep the audience on their toes but there is still time to sit back and have a dance in the wasteland that is Tokyo.

Safu is overseas at No. 5. The names of these future cities are very unique and special. I think No. 6 should be a little jealous though. No. 5 is looking huge compared to No. 6. And it appears they have some of their older buildings? At any rate Safu has never been to a museum (unless that was a joke) so that makes me think the damage to Japan was a lot worse than in other countries.

Which we still haven’t gotten an explanation on yet. Yes Nezumi WHY do you hate No 6? Sion knows you were a wanted criminal and we saw people shooting at you. But why? Why is No 6 hiding the random people from the general public? Why is it necessary for people to swear absolute loyalty to the city? Why after such a horrible event (WHAT WAS THE EVENT) are so many people excluded from the city and forced to live in “slums”?

If we knew these things I would be happier. Sion asked to know the truth, Nezumi said he would tell him the truth but yet we have not been told the truth. Which is kinda special because Sion is still hell bent on trying to save No 6 while knowing Nezumi hates No. 6. Maybe if Nezumi wants to change Sion’s mind frame he should tell him the truth?

And goodbye to you little rudo.

I thought the lady watching the older people died a wonderful death. No? Okay. If someone HAD to die that way I am glad it was her. Those old people were acting nice and friendly. I am sure no one likes having their freedom taken away and their butts wiped by strangers. So suck it up and show some compassion. I mean…I am not sure I could handle that job but that is why I don’t have it! So bye bye mean lady.

I thought Sion reading to the kids was nice. Their mother might be a little too trusting because according to Nezumi life is tough beyond No. 6. But Sion has a way of bringing people into a sense of calm and fluffy. Maybe Sion can be a ray of hope in the land of suck?

MOG Really bees?!? I had no idea!! Please tell me more about the bees!!!

I thought the scene with DogWatcher and Rikiga was slightly useless. I thought it was interesting that Nezumi let Sion be around el crazy but meh. Rikiga and his NEW piece of information was not that new. And if someone told me that bees were coming out of people’s necks I wouldn’t forget that DogWatcher. So all of that was just an excuse to get Sion to see Nezumi act. Because Nezumi already knew about the bees and since Sion’s came out in the winter I am not sure what the big deal was.

But in any event we were taken to see Nezumi’s play. In which he plays the part of a woman. It is nice to see that the world can come to an end and become more technical but we are blasted back to the stone age and men are playing all the parts of women. YAY!

I wanted to see more :(. Unfair.

So was Nezumi really trying to protect Sion from the monsters at the play or was he trying to keep Sion from seeing play the part of a woman? Whatever the case may be I wish we could have seen more. Obviously Sion was very accepting and captivated by the performance so I wish we could have seen Nezumi pull out all the stops to show Sion how awesome he is.

Good to see Safu is growing as a person.

Over in better than you land Safu is enjoying her new life. She has new friends, she writes crazy poems, and she is no closer to understanding sex than she was a few months ago. Glad to see she isn’t pinning away over Sion but by the looks of next week Grandma kicks it and Safu might be joining Sion on the outside. Beware Nezumi.

And you are both splatting because.....?

The most interesting aspect of this episode was the fact both Nezumi and Safu had dizzy spells at the same time. They heard a song, a white light, and possibly a vision of Sion naked underneath them. If this had happened to one of them I would be like how interesting. But since it happened to both of them at the same in two different places it has me going…HMM??? Could these two be connected? They do have similar hair color. And as we know animes like locking up one twin and letting the other one roam free.

I still think Nezumi needs mouth to mouth though.....

Factor in that Nezumi seems to understand WHY he had a dizzy spell. Of course this makes me think that he doesn’t have much time to live and that is horrible for my yaoi coupling. Me thinks that No. 6 did some testing on Nezumi and that is why he knows. But that doesn’t answer the question why it happened to Safu at the exact same time. Maybe they were both used to find a cure for the bees?

Nezumi is shocked that the boy he has protected for years and has been pinning to beds has feelings for him. SHOCKED folks.

Whatever the case may be Sion was super worried that Nezumi was going to die. To make sure Nezumi is still alive he has to be in his face and asking math questions. Nezumi was pretty shocked on how much Sion cares because Nezumi likes to pretend he doesn’t have feelings and that he didn’t freak out when Sion was going all bee zombie on him. So instead of trying to be all emotional with Sion Nezumi cackles about the demise of No 6.

And at last I've seen the liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, and it's like the sky is new.

In a turn of events though Nezumi loses his mind. He may say he was dancing with Sion to show that despite passing out on stage he is in fact okay and in better condition than Sion himself. I would like to think after his little cackle fest Nezumi decided to he wanted to be all close to Sion. Nezumi gets like that, gets a little rough with Sion but then wants to be all cuddle like. I am sure there were other ways to show off his strength but in my head all I can think of is wrestling and you know…you know.

Nezumi sees you when you're sleeping!

So they dance around a destroyed Tokyo. Very romantic. At the end of this dance Sion confesses he can’t live without Nezumi and Nezumi is more confused than ever how he feels about Sion. Well he says he is confused but we all know he loves him. XD

What will happen with our boys now that Safu may be back on the scene? Maybe Nezumi can tell both of them the TRUTH that he promised a few episodes ago. Heres to hoping anyway. XD
