This is all great advice you guys are fantastic (⌒▽⌒)☆

@Weisel The people working on this with me wanted to go with a similar theme making fun of the dub (Nezumi's voice being as deep as the ocean when they're kids, him saying 'dude', pointing out that Inukashi and Nezumi's names were translated) I'm glad someone else thinks that's funny! (・∀・)

@Vox Great idea! This would be so easy to accomplish considering that most of Nezumis biggest douche moments are animated (*´ω`)o

@Ghosty THIS IS PERFECT I've been kind of at a loss what to do with Safu's character (I wanted to keep my parody of her respectful because I love her and I didn't want to make her character close to some fan interpretations) but I'm probably gonna take this way too far, stay tuned (。・ω・。)

@Enokizu The more we talk the more I like you ໒( ♥ ◡ ♥ )७

@Ahiku I'm a little nervous because I've never done voice acting with any hint of seriousness, but the people I'm recording with have a lot of experience! If you can think of any general voice acting advice you might have, it'd be very much appreciated! (*^ワ^*)

@Ame
Ah, you just need a little bit of practice, a nice/interesting voice and especially when you're a beginner... a good director! :D The first time I had a little role in an official dub, the director was the the German voice of Mickey Mouse. ^^° I was 17 or so and he always gave me instructions in his weird Mickey Mouse voice... X'D It was stupid, but also funny.

Ahhh... okay guys!
I wish all of you a Happy New Year! *hugs you all* >,<

Here's a little firework. And a NezuShi kiss.

Ah, I feel like I've disappeared off the face of the planet well, the internet, anyway lately! Sorry I haven't been around much. Unfortunately I'm stuck at home for a few more weeks, and my mother has decided to be super clingy she throws me a guilt trip every time I get on my computer.

I'm going to try to be around as much as I can, but I might be a little absent until I go back to school on the 12th. (I'm going to try to leave early, but who knows.) Until then, if anyone wants to talk or there is anything I can help with, shoot me a private message on here or message me on tumblr - I get phone notifications, and I can slip away for a little while.

@ everyone: All of the ideas for the No. 6 abridged sound really brilliant!!

@Ahiku: That looks amazing!

Have a Happy New Year everyone!! Stay safe and have fun if you're out celebrating!!

@Ahiku The Shion/Inukashi for our abridged series was reading over my shoulder and now he's giving me voice acting tips in a a Mickey Mouse voice (he does an amazing impression)

Wah I love your art!! This is so cute \(*T▽T*)/

@Ame: Haha! XD It's always a good thing to receive advices from someone with a Mickey Mouse voice.

Ah, when they voice several characters you could includes jokes about: "Hey, your voices sound pretty similar!" Or... for example Inukashi jerking Nezumi around, faking Shion's voice... Something like. "Nezumi, I love you!"  Nezumi: "Shion?"

Hi there^^

Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy New Year!!!

(We could wish that reunion comes but... I'm not very optimistic about that unfortunately *sigh*)

@Yuneyn

To be honest I thought that if Asano Atsuko was to do something, she would have done it on September 7 2013... which unfortunately was not the case. I want to believe but I highly doubt we'll ever get more material.... oh, we can still pray to Elyurias I guess... (。ノω\。)
(I find the NO.6 series perfect as it is, but the lack of closure between Shion and Nezumi hurts me a lot)

No.6, this is who we are. No matter how many times you step on us, we'll raise our heads again. We'll never be destroyed. We'll crawl across the ground, we'll set our roots down, and we'll live. We're a lot tougher than you think.

@Enokizu

Yeah, I also think so. (;_;) I mean, we can still hope that she's going to write a post-reunion sequel when they have their first reunion in 2017, but I really doubt it. (Even though hope is the last thing to die.)

Shion's birthday 2013 would have been a perfect moment to publish something new, since it was the beginning of everything, and I think people were starving to read more about them; especially **** fans.

Or maybe also last year, since it was the year the manga came to an end and No. 6 was still "fresh". (Sorry. XD I don't know how to describe it better... )
But well, we still have new fans now, especially since the manga is being published in other countries now, but the zenith of No. 6's glory is over. I guess it was already over when I joined the Tumblr fandom in December 2013... because when I joined it, it was already very, very welcoming with old vs. new fandom discussions on Tumblr. ^^° 

But when they wait until 2017, a lot of "old" fans will have moved on. Especially in Japan, where you have new great novels, series and animes in abundance. It's easily forgotten.

Yeah, I also think that No. 6 is pretty perfect. But I also have to say that "Beyond" had contra-productive effects. Inukashi's chapter was quite nice, but especially Shion and Nezumi's chapters where depressing. Shion is changing, and I think he's already starting to get mentally exhausted... and Nezumi wants Shion to be a person of his past, even though he's thinking about him all the time. Beyond is very painful. Even more painful than the original ending and the epilogue, in which Shion seems to be fine. But I think he's not fine, when he's already a little wreck after just 1 year in the RC.
Beyond is promting new questions... but it doesn't help to put the story behind yourself with a good feeling. Because Nezumi is doubting... and Shion is done. The "real" end was probably better. ^^° It's sad, and it's a horrible open end... but it's also inviting people to write their own reunions. This effect is not to be underestimated, even though I'd also like to read an official reunion. (And I'd love to see a grown up Nezumi in Hinoki Kino's art style! >_<°)

But that chapter in Beyond with Nezumi meeting Shion's dad... Doesn't that just seem like a setup for the next part of a story? And the entire series ran from 2003 to 2011... Obviously Atsuko Asano isn't on a tight schedule here. I just... refuse to give up on the idea that there might be more in the future. Hope does die last!

Also I can't even begin to tell you what a relief it is that we don't have "old fandom vs. new fandom" **** going on anymore...

Yeah, it sounds like a setup to a new story - something like a power game between Shion and Shion's crazy father. ^^°

You're right, I also don't think she's on a tight schedule, but apart from 2010, there was a new book every year. And Beyond is not called "Beyond Volume 1". u_u
So this would be the longest break so far and there's still no sign that a new volume is coming out soon. (;_;)

But yeah, never stop to hope. They will reunite... and they will have a great time together in a waaay better new city. >,<

Yeah, me too. ^^ It's so peaceful. XD

hi, sorry this doesn't have to do a whole lot with the topic at hand, but I wasn't really sure where else to post this. Can anyone link me to somewhere I can read Beyond?

@Ghosty
Sure... It's here: http://9th-ave.blogspot.de/p/no-6.html
The same place where you can also read the other novels ;D

........DUUUUUDE. What if we got a story years later from baby Shionn's point of view growing up in the rebuilt city? And we get his side of the story and it's a total mindfuck when we find out all the details of things we cared about but as snippets of information that he doesn't realize is important??

@Weisel
Yeah, that's really interesting! X3 Or better to say, that would be really interesting. Someone should write a fanfiction about Shionn. Ah, btw. I loved it to read about teenager Shionn in @listenforthelove's Christmas Carol fanfiction. That was cool. Usually we just meet him in fanfictions when he's about 4-5 years old.

Ah, god, my jaw is killing me right now. o_o° (They removed two wisdom teeth on Monday.) If it's still like that tomorrow, I think I can't work properly... can't talk like that, not for 8 hours. x.x But I don't want to go to the emergency service. It's one of the hospitals which is so far away, I need an hour to get there. And my boss will be super pissed when I don't come back to work this weekend. ^^° I hope it's better tomorrow morning... But somehow I don't think so, I get the feeling there's something inflamed, the cheek is super hot. <_< Mah... that's so annoying.

Well, I just played with audacity and my version of Kaze no Requiem to distract myself a bit.
I pitched it higher and lower... god, I dunno, but I sound like a pervert when I pitch my voice lower. XD And yet, it reminds me a bit of a drunk, singing Shion. XD

(I hope you can see it...it's in my drafts, but that should work unless I remove it. XD)

And the higher version is Tsukiyo. I thought about drawing a picture where Nezumi and SHion are sleeping, and Tsukiyo is singing Kaze no Requiem... and when they wake up, they're like. "WTF o_o"  XD Haha, maybe I'm doing something like that in the near future. Maybe.

@Weisel: ahhh so many good fic ideas! But you're right, not a lot of fic with Shionn as any older than a toddler and being his own character.

ONE DAY REUNION WILL COME I WILL KEEP BELIEVING there. << (and actually, I can't even choose between the reunion scenarios, so I'm happy there's tons of fanfic and fanart to fulfill all of them, haha.)

@Ahiku: ah man you really got bad luck there >_< fingers crossed it won't bother you too long anymore!

Ooooh my gosh though those versions of Kaze no Requiem. The first part really took me by surprise because yeah, that is easy to mistake for Shion XD  (not necessarily drunk though, you sing it too well for drunk Shion) Didn't sound like you anymore so that was kind of a 'wait, what' moment. Tsukiyo **** me up though, wooow. I mean it still sounds really good! But the pitch! Mouse voice indeed, haha.
