In a near future world, after the last great war, most of mankind lives in a handful of city states. There, for the privileged elite, life should be perfect. But for young Shion, the only thing perfect has been the nightmare his life has become since letting a strange boy called Rat spend the night in his apartment.
Banished to the outskirts of the city and stripped of all privileges for helping the mysterious stranger who has since disappeared, Shion now finds himself in even worse danger as his inquiry into a new series of mysterious deaths results in his being arrested on suspicion of murder!
But even as Shion is being sent to the city's Correctional Institute, the long-missing Rat reappears to rescue him! Now on the run, the two young men have only one chance at survival: uncover the mysterious secrets that lie at the sinister heart of No. 6!

Where it came from
No.6 was produced by Studio Bones and aired in 2011 as an adaptation of the acclaimed light novel series written by Atsuko Asano. The narrative is set in a dystopian future within a controlled, seemingly utopian city-state, exploring themes of social stratification, environmental collapse, and the complex bond between two young men, Shion and Nezumi. The project emerged during a period when Bones was diversifying its portfolio, moving beyond traditional action-heavy series to incorporate more character-driven, introspective storytelling.
The character designs were handled by Satoshi Sasaki, who adapted the original illustrations from the novels with a focus on fluid animation and nuanced emotional expression. The series was met with significant interest for its blend of political intrigue and intimate character development, carving out a distinct niche within the sci-fi genre. While it received varying feedback regarding its pacing and condensation of the source material, it remains a notable example of the studio's ability to balance atmospheric world-building with intense personal drama.
