Review of No. 6 Anime

Last season for anime was generally unappealing so I found myself turning to the list of anime from the Noitamina timeslot for a good watch. They’ve offered many greats like Honey and Clover, Paradise Kiss, Nodame Cantabile, Princess Jellyfish, Eden of the East, Kids on the Slope (all of which I will be reviewing in the future for those curious). The title appealed to me as it is set in a dystopian future divided by the haves and have-nots. Unfortunately for the haves who get to live in the seemingly perfect city No. 6 (for which the anime is named after), there is a tight grip over laws and what is allowed to be said. I think this is a great setting as we’ve encountered it many times within the past years (like the communist fear era during the Cold War) and frankly this still goes on in many countries. It’s a real fear that when it comes to powerhouses like the government, we ultimately have no control over our lives. This setting makes for a believable future and it’s great to see the characters (who only have good intentions) deal with this obstacle. For those curious, it seems to have a very similar set-up to the upcoming movie Elysium so those who are excited for that movie should check out this anime as well.
