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!

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

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.

First I saw some fanart I think on Polish anime/manga memes
page. I liked characters look and thought that they look good
together, but I wasn't in yaoi couples for years so I let it go.
Always when I was checking amazon for pandora hearts manga, magi
or other titles, amazon kept trow at me NO.6 manga as
recommendation, still I kept away from it.
Just when one of our polish publisher announcement that he will
release NO.6 manga I thought I check it. First volume didn't
amazed me but as more as I started to read, as I watched anime I
just was lost, I fell in love with it.
And fandom, holy good how nice is NO.6 fandom, I don't think I
ever saw so many good quality fanarts from any fandom I was
until now. It's first fandom I really like read fanfiction and
they are in 70% good quality.
And this fandom is so cute. My last fandom was all complain,
complain, I done many thing in it and always feel like I was
alone in all my projects. Here, only thing is hard complained is
Nezumi's leave (you idiot!), it's warm, there are people who
give a hand. It's really fun.
Did I say that after anime/manga end I laid down bed for week
like a dead fish? XD

Well, I started watching it two weeks ago! (I am now in hell)
I'm sort of sad I have nothing new to look forward to
officially, but this forum and community seems awesome!

@ghosty: omg, you're on the last stretch of the novels?
*prepares a tissue box for you* XD
@Weisel: Senpai status!!! :D It's nice to hear that you've loved
No.6 for so long though~ ;u;
@secretagentfan: OMG you watched it in Spanish?? XD T-that's
real dedication, haha!! AW, it's great that you're back. ^_^ and
there's nothing shameless about stalking the tags... XD;;
*totally guilty as well*
@kare_reiko: LOL YOUR DEADFISH COMMENT. I feel like we can all
relate to that... Hahaha, the things No.6 does to us. T_T
@jjbinkes: Ohh!! If you watched the anime, then have you read
the manga or novels? I highly recommend them; they'll make you
cry all over again. X3
I actually heard of the series a long time ago (around the time
when Allen from D. Gray Man got his Crown Clown? if that makes
sense to anyone). I was a fan of DGM and the No.6 fandom
sometimes leaked into it because the character designs were very
similar, but I wasn't interested back then... I'm pretty sure I
tried reading a few pages of the first chapter and I just wasn't
captivated... I was too young and immature to understand the
complexities of Utopias and long sentences, hahaha.
BUT THEN, this past December, a friend of mine had reblogged the
second kiss on tumblr and I was bored and curious .... and now
life has never been the same since. XD I quickly combed through
as much of the manga as I could find, skimmed parts of the
anime, and read all the translated volumes by 9th avenue. X3
I think this is only the second fandom that I've fallen so in
love with, so I'm very happy I could find it~ XD

@secretagentfan I feel you on the thing about watching the
Spanish no. 6. Before the english translations for the manga
came out, I was super desperate to find out what happened so I
pulled up the japanese scanlations on my laptop and I summary of
it on my phone and read them at the same time. (I should've
prepared my emotions... my tears were actually painful)
@ meopat oh no... I've cried over this series too much I can't
go through this pain again ;n;
