@Meopat: couldn't check out the song for a bit but I finally just did and holy **** that is uncanny, the title alone O_o ahhhhhh!! Thanks for sharing!

@EnglishCivilWar: ahhh I hope you get the chance to write them out then! But using your time to think about Nezushi is v good way to spend time yes~
(-squints- hang on is that Sora and Riku I spy in your icon)


my mother keeps calling our puppy a little rat and he's blue-black and has grey eyes and if I ever call him Nezumi by accident it is NOT my fault okay

@Ghosty: my favourite character is all of them and my favourite team is all of them, haha. No I really can't choose, I like pretty much everyone for different reasons. I guess I'd pick Karasuno by default right now just because they're on screen the most? Sorry, boring answer ;; (Maybe Nekoma in terms of not-main-team team then, if I have to pick) How about you? Oh gosh and how did that beach trip work out XD

@Kai: ugh yikes that is not nice at all ._. Like Ahiku said, those things can be damaging and also it's not even true in your case? The heck.



Ehm. Well 'looking for a job' is a horrible job, I guess? XD; (well technically I'm employed as freelance, and I'll be at the book store for two weeks this summer, which isn't horrible so idk if that even counts.)

^ Is hopefully at least enjoying a good weekend because bwahhh ._. and take care for this horror week!
< should be writing her column about her recently deceased dog but is instead trying very hard not to write a super silly crossover fic. In addition to the one she was already writing. Yeah I know.
v has an unreplied text waiting for them to get back to!

@Meopat: oh gosh well have fun~~~ XD

^ SHOULD be in bed right now -squints at her clock- it's like after 2:30 AM there now, isn't it XD;
< Fell really hard into volleyball hell aka Haikyuu!! pls send help. (This is also why I'll stay up past midnight. Seriously help me.)
v Has got a book or nice long fic to read this weekend~

Omigosh I was always wondering where people even got those! This is great~ I can't stop clicking haha.

@Ahiku: Nezumi getting lost makes a lot of sense if you take his voice actor into account XD (I know you don't like Free! but iirc Sousuke was also terrible at directions so I've seen the joke made, haha)

Shion is a super hero hiding their secret identity from Nezumi.

How the heck would he do that he's as subtle as ten bricks XD

Shion as a film noir detective and Nezumi as the desperate client.

... maybe I should switch them around, haha.

Shion, a knight in shining armor, must rescue the distressed Nezumi.

I'm sorry I should really switch them around by now but I AM LAUGHING SO HARD HELP

Shion and Nezumi fighting together, back to back.
Shion discovers Nezumi's terrible secret.
Shion comforting a sad Nezumi.
Nezumi and Shion dancing.
Nezumi and Shion meeting after they haven't seen each other in a very long time.

This thing is cheating indeed. XD

Nezumi is about to do something stupid. Shion does not think this is a good idea.

Nezumi and Shion pretend to be in a relationship for the purpose of an undercover mission.

....OH.

Shion and Nezumi taking care of a bunch of orphan puppies and/or kittens.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Nezumi mourning over a dead Shion.

NO WAIT MISSION ABORT

A little belated, but welcome to the forums, @Kai! I see you've already visited a lot of threads, so I hope you're enjoying yourself here, and it's nice to meet you ^_^ Looking forward to your cosplay!

@Weisel: thank you so very much for sharing!!!! Great practice for one thing, and it's just so fun to hear them hang out together. (Ahhh and I do hope you're feeling better by now ._. take care!!!)

Geesh Hosoya you really don't say much do you XD I only checked out all of episode 2 and Kaji and Yasuno just - keep going on, he barely gets a word in, bless. Yasuno is so adorable help.

Ah, it's great that you're supporting the manga release! I hope you'll get your copies soon~ The scanlators indeed stopped once the series got licensed after Kodansha asked them to, but they did provide summaries for the later chapters. (If you're really impatient, you can check out the links page of the restructuralcommittee blog for summaries and raws.)

I'd definitely recommend reading the novels as well! 9th avenue has the translations up right here; the manga keeps to the novels fairly well, but of course it can't convey everything the novels have to offer. There's a lot of character introspection and some great scenes that the manga had to skip. Of course, in some cases an image says more than a thousand words, but you can only cram so many thought balloons into a single page.

I looked up The Song of Achilles and it sounded really interesting!  I hadn't heard of it before, but I'm definitely going to put it on my to-read list, I'm very curious now. (Actually, I think I saw Rick Riordan had commented on it on goodreads? So I'm not sure if you mentioned him on purpose, but that was  a funny coincidence then. And yeah, he writes super quickly O_O Binge-read the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series a while ago and I was amazed that most of them were only a year apart at most. What the heck.)


(Ah yeah, we know about the censoring issue, sorry about that ^^; it's built in. I think it's been tried to change it but I'm not sure if that's possible. At least it doesn't censor hard and core separately then...)

@Ahiku: okay I swear I thought you were on tumblr since like the start of the anime or something XD; just feels like you've been around forever. But yikes, talking about fun ways to discover new things >_< well hopefully No. 6 helped you recover very quickly? ^^;;;
Ahh and Routasu/Lancha's art is super lovely indeed~


Hmmm my story is a bit all over the place. Back in February 2012, my long-time friend introduced me to a couple of manga series at the same time. (She has a habit of introducing things to me that end up taking over my life tbh XD; idk how she does it, but she does.) One of them was No. 6, which was still being scanlated at the time, so I rushed through the manga until that point (chapter 13 - conveniently the one after the kiss, ahem) and got really excited, but I'm really bad at keeping up with running series, especially if they're monthly. So I think I did read up whenever there was an update, but I frequently forgot, oops.

Then in April 2013, same friend brought up No. 6 again and mentioned there were novels - I knew they existed, but wasn't aware that they were floating around online, so I jumped on them and read them in a couple of days. Annnd then I immediately ordered them in Japanese for practice. XD;
I watched the anime with my friend not too long after, but I think that was the wrong order and I haven't rewatched the anime since because it kind of fell flat to me after the novels and the manga. S-sorry. I do love the ED a ton though!
