....No, really, I didn't do that. All I did was eat in New York City. Hands up if you did similar.
Anyway, new anime recommendation, and yaoi fangirls, you're gonna nosebleed after watching this one.

My Review:
For me, I found this anime really enjoyable. I was always found of male bonding (lol). Anyway, I'm sure most guys that watch this will probably wondering if they're on the right channel. This is supposedly rated T and is a "Shounen Anime". I highly doubt that. I'm sure the fanbase for this anime is definitely ruled by females but guys, ignoring the never-ending amount of bromance, the plot and futuristic setting is really well planned out. I mean, 2 people die in the first episode. The main character almost dies in the second episode! Men always get a kick out of watching characters die horribly. No.6 is really interesting city as well. It really makes you think if our future will look like that.
I am planning on posting NezumixSion pictures by the way, justing giving a warning.
