Rainbow: The Seven from Compound Two, Cell Six

This is one of those hidden gems in anime that you are glad to find. I believe that this anime doesn't get the recognition it deserves, because this is surely a deeply emotional, engaging story with heart and substance.

There are a lot of lessons to be found in this anime, from friendship to perseverance, hope but also about the cruelty that humans are capable of. Also, this could be seen as a sociological critique of post-ww2 Japan, showing some of the ugly truths we don't want to know about.

This anime focuses on young men abandoned by society, and while they are imprisoned, they are far for being bad people. The viewer can realize that true friendship and bonds can be found even in the worst places of earth, and that nobody should give up to hope and dreams, regardless of their background.

Not perfect though, i believe that the anime sometimes is a bit indulgent in giving the viewer a "happy" resolution to almost all of the mini-stories going on with the characters, and i feel that the anime didn't reached it's full potential in depicting the cruel side of prisons, and human beings. It is like... it can get pretty dark, but i feel that the author was concerned that the viewer wouldn't be satisfied if the anime were too pessimistic.

In the end, this is an excelent anime, one of the best seinen out there, and ayone looking for a mature story, albeit dark at times but with a glimp of sunshine, you can't go wrong with this.

Honestly, I love this anime. It is absolutely a work of art and a masterpiece' The story is very interesting and is full of so many plots and unexpected scenes that would totally shock the audience! It's about how 7 kids were placed in the same cell in a disciplinary school and became strong friends. They were violated and abused by a guard and a doctor in the prison even though all they wanted to do was to be free. They especially wanted their "Bro" to be free more than them! The guard and doctor were trying their hardest to keep "Bro" in the disciplinary school by framing him and tempting him to break a rule in order to save his friends or to save his own life! I honestly think that I've cried more watching this anime than in Naruto. I don't think it's just me but every time I see an antagonist doing something wrong to the boys I've always felt like punching him. The anime truly taught me that strong friendships would last till the very end. In my opinion, I don't think much people even know about this anime even though it's worth attention. Plus it's only 26 episodes! I honestly 110% recommend this anime for any anime watchers not only because the anime is a masterpiece but because it should receive the attention it truly deserves!

This is an absolute diamond in the rough. The first episode is slow and dark, yet throughout the 26 available episodes, you will trek through every emotion: anger, disgust, happiness, laughter, love, and sadness. It is a rollercoaster whose theme sticks through till the end.

I am SO glad I decided to give this show a chance and will recommend it to anyone looking for a story with true substance. Easily a 10/10.

The history goes in a dark time, and even with the perils they continue fighting hard for their lifes. It's a very emotional anime.
