No.6 contains enough narrative and structural problems to give the critic in me a head-splitting migraine, but it's flaws are neither infamous nor profound to inspire academic discussion. That paints the picture of a world-ending disaster with no survivors that no one will ever stop talking about, which is not the case.

That was my time with the anime and manga adaptations, as well as the original light novels, of No.6. And as you look back at the burning remains of the plot, you wonder if the memory of this strange, avoidable catastrophe is even worth remembering. You share tearful farewells as everyone is taken to the hospital. But by some divine miracle the passengers you grew to love are safe and unharmed.
