When and how did you become a No. 6 fan? :D

Tell us!

Okaaaay~ Well...

I discovered No. 6 in the late summer of 2013. My boss sent me home because I was deadly pale and not feeling very well and had to stay at home for 2 weeks or so. I wanted to watch an anime then and remembered Routasu/Lancha’s No. 6 pictures on Animexx, a huge German anime community. I always loved her pictures, but I also know that she’s not always drawing canon ships and I thought that Nezumi and Shion are not THAAAT close. Hehe. :D When I watched the first episode, I started to think: “Hm… somehow they are pretty… gay.  *__* *rechecking the summary and the tags on that streaming webpage*” X’D I lost it then and watched all episodes at once. The next day, I watched it again… the third day, I started to read the manga and then the novels. I finished them in one week. X’D AND I STILL DON’T HAVE ENOUGH!!!
After that I started to read a lot of fanfics… and met Yuneyn and she introduced me to Tumblr later. :3 I joined Tumblr in December 2013, because I wanted to share my NezuShi fanstuff. ^^

Ok, that's it. And you guys? ^^

@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!

Ghosty:
hmmmmm well I first watched No. 6 at around the end of 2013 I believe? maybe beginning of 2014. It really doesn't feel like its been that long...

I had been seeing No. 6 all over my tumblr dashboard for a while, and I thought the characters and art looked very nice, so I figured I would go watch it. One night and zero hours of sleep later, I had finished it all in one night and spent the rest of the school day telling all my friends to watch No. 6 while fighting off my fatigue (When I finally got my sister to watch it, she spent half the time running around the house screaming about how gay shion and nezumi were). It took me a while to begin trying to buy all of the manga, since I couldn't find most of it online, but now I own and have read the whole thing and am on the final book of the novels.

And that's pretty much it. My love for the series has only grown since uwu

Weisel:
Okay, I actually don't remember the day I started watching No.6 but it was around the beginning of 2012. My girlfriend at the time, who I'd met through the Persona 4 fandom (what are the odds?), suggested that I watch it. And it was all downhill from there. I haven't been writing fics or cosplaying No.6 for quite that long, but I've been around... just not as this blog. I think I've remade my tumblr three times since then. But yeah, I was a late arrival to the "original fandom" *cough who even cares cough* and I missed the original airing. I was still there for preordering the DVD (and keeping it because it was my gf's birthday present and she DUMPED ME BEFORE IT ARRIVED HAHA I WIN) and for when Beyond was released. I'm just an old fart around here and no one knows it. :)

So I was curious when I got into No. 6 exactly and upon rooting through my tumblr date settings it was somewhere around March 2012 when I first posted any No. 6 stuff. SO THERE IT IS! I remember having trouble finding the last episode because I watched episodes 1-10 on various sites and NO WHERE had episode 11 so. I had to watch the ending with spanish subs on youtube and guess.

(I was actually looking for another anime, but the only thing I knew about it was that it was 'sad' and both of the main characters were male, and one had white hair. When I saw the opening had two guys and one had white hair I thought it was right. I still don't know what the anime I was looking for but I'm glad I found No. 6)

...I enjoyed it so much that I made a terrible ask blog that absolutely no one noticed or kind of covered their eyes and looked away from. WHICH I wound up deleting it after a week so NO ONE COULD EVER FIND IT eVER. it was so bad seriously oh god.

Then I took a break from No. 6 for a little bit but the ending really bugged me because bees? And then I found out their were novels and I had to find a translation of them. I wound up reading the translations off and on, but it was kind of a dry period because I was bad about keeping up with the updates and I didn't understand the fandom back then (I kind of wish I got to see a lot more of the artists and stuff that left but I didn't really, I only casually watched the No. 6 tag on tumblr)

A couple years ago I /still/ loved No. 6 and I came back to it. I restarted the novels and for some reason they hit me a lot more. Then I started shamelessly stalking the tag, read more fic, reread the novels, wrote some fic never written for any other fandom but No. 6 is something special.

So YEAH that was way too many words to describe something so simple.
