Subete ga F ni Naru

To really enjoy this anime you have to do the thing the characters do most: think (a lot). I believe that the story starts a little bit different that your usual animation, meaning that from episode one your stuck with a slow paced work. This is a project that requires a lot of character development and ends with a plot twist that is not usually expected on much of todays content. So give it time and enjoy the characters "thinking out loud" attitude that is rarely seen. Probably the most fun or entertaining part of Subete ga F ni Naru is giving yourself enough time to come up with your own theories on many of the clues regarding the murders, only to get even more exited when reaching the end and seeing the big plot twist that broke the internet (or the part that is interested in this type of content) when this was being broadcast. However, if your thirst for mystery isn't quenched then I suggest you search for the rest of the S&M series (S&M stands for Saikawa and Moe) or maybe take an interest in the live-action in which you'll be treated for more content regarding the protagonists of this anime.

A quick and easy review of Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider. SPOILER FREE for your enjoyment. PROS: + Pleasant, detailed animation; an interesting and fitting color scheme. + Enjoyable sound track, with a great OP and ED + Nice voice acting CONS: - "Mystery" is predictable (At least for someone who has watched a lot of TV. By episode 5 it was pretty clear to me, yet it takes a VERY SLOW five episodes more for the characters to put it together). - Little characterization leads to one-dimensional characters (i.e., the "young and in love," the "suave man of intellect," the "unfeeling genius," etc.) - Slow plot progression (I normally don't mind this; many murder mysteries seem slow as you gather the details that lead to the big reveal or twist, but even taking this into account, Perfect Insider lagged too much) OVERALL: If you're a fan of mysteries and don't mind a slow plot, give it a go. Because it's only 11 episodes, it doesn't take much time to complete. (But if, by episode 5, you think you have everything figured out, you're probably right.)

I hope you will find this review short & succinct, while still informative. I'll spend most of my review on the story and characters. STORY: I quite enjoyed the first 4-5 episodes. These episodes hooked me by setting up what seemed to be a well-thought out mystery; they introduce an intriguing yet questionable relationship between two of the main protagonists; and discussions regarding Computer Science (CS) were relatively believable and without any blatant misuse of jargon. Unfortunately the mystery element stagnates and is quickly replaced by philosophical ramblings and unconvincing attempts at character development, all dressed up as Saikama's genius slowly whittling away at the mystery. It's not enjoyable to watch Saikama piece together the mystery while viewers are left ignorant of his revelations, instead having to sit through Nishinoso's attempts at getting his attention. CHARACTERS: Speaking of Nishinoso she too quickly becomes one-dimensional. Rather than moving the plot forward she exists only to hinder it. Her role is to pine after Saikama, assuring him she'll eventually catch up to him and figure out everything on her own. Saikama's responses are ambiguous; we're never sure if he's completely oblivious or just silently accepting her affection as a big-brother type (with both possibilities having been hinted at.) There's effectively no character development, and the only attempt at exploring their relationship exists as a short flashback. As for the other characters: both non-essential side characters and the main antagonist(s?) are lacking exposition and never really given the attention they deserved. ART: It's animated very well, although there's nothing particularly flashy in terms of color or scenery. I would describe it as solid and believable, but nothing to write home about. The most aesthetically pleasing bit of art in the show might actually be the ED. SOUND: ENGRISH. ENGRISH, SO BAD. EARS, THEY BLEED. In all fairness this is only one scene, but it draws on far too long and the rest of the sound is not very memorable. The OP and ED music were worth a listen ... one was rather catchy, but neither will end up on my playlists. ENJOYMENT: As noted in the discussion on story and characters, I enjoyed the early episodes, but as the story continued it became harder and harder to sit through. I was relieved when it was time for the big reveal, and while the explanation pleased my internal CS nerd it came far from satisfying my curiosity. There were a number of unanswered questions that were shrugged off with [paraphrasing] "We may never know," or just completely ignored. I'm left frustrated and wanting an English translation of the source work, since it's hard to imagine that such a half-baked mystery came out of an award-winning novel. OVERALL: If you like mysteries you might be interested at first, but this mystery will leave you questioning both the story and your decision to engage in it. If you can read Japanese I'd wager you're much better off reading the book.

Despite what people are saying about this anime, I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed. What made the story unique was the way we as viewers were presented with the mystery. For the most part, we were only shown as much as the characters were and got the opportunity to solve it alongside them. The characters themselves were great (although sometimes they were a little 'bland' or 'boring' as they weren't always able to fully express themselves or their emotions). The relationship between the two mains is explored to a certain extent (as much as can be done in 13 eps) however, the main focus throughout the anime is the mystery at hand. Along with the soundtrack and the fantastic art style, I found this anime thoroughly enjoyable to watch. The only thing that disappoints me is that it was only 13 episodes long. In my opinion, it should have been at least 24.

This anime is really smart at making twitst. every twist that they made was really amazing to me. always got me well. *Story The story was kinda weird and confusing in the beginning but the way they revealed everything was great. i think i got mind blows by this show many times too. the story and the plot was so tricky and mind blowing like No Game No Life(If you ever watch it) and i think this one is one of my favorite after No game no life. the first episode felt mysterious and chilling too, felt like something big will happen in the next and next episode so because of curiousty, i continue to watch it. it turned out to be so good to me. and i almost forgot to say that the twist was involving computer program, so it was kinda hard to understand for someone who don't really know computer program thing. And not only computer program, they even used math to revealed the mystery. tbh i really like the way they revealed the mystery. So from overall story, i think the plot can be enjoyable to eveyone that understand it. it was tricky and msytery plot, that the only word that i can describe from the plot. 9/10 *Art i don't really know what to say to the animation or the art. it wasn't terrible and not bad too. just, okay...... it was not like i got bored because of the animation, i enjoy it, but still overall the animation is meh.... to me. instead of a good character design, sometimes the character design became a scary character design to me. 7/10 *Sound Obviously i really like the sountrack, especially the OP and the ED. so fitting the show. i felt like the OP and the ED were the one who made this show more better. the soundtrack in the show was good i guess. but when it got into a scary scene, the soundtrack changed into a scary ones too, that was so chilling to me. 9/10 *Character The character was so unique. never seen a character like that before. the teacher, Moe and Magata. Moe personality isn't something that i never seen though, but the Teacher(Souhei) and Magata was indeed so unique. but Magata is unique in a bad way. i don't want to show any spoiler so you will understand what i mean if you watch it. the way they were thinking was too unique to me and tbh i like the way they thinking too. i think from the overall character i will give it 8/10 because Souhei and Magata were the only persone that i think is unique. *Enjoyment Obviously i enjoy it so much. it was a good show to watch and worth to watch, even thought it was so difficult to understand. and with mystery show, they obviously in a few episode they ended it with a cliffhanger and it made me curious more about what will happen next. 9/10 From overall score i give it 9/10. the reason is just because i enjoy the show. the animation wasn't something spectacular but the other looked great too me. Hope this review can be helpful for you. Sorry for bad english, and.... Thanks :D

"her moral and our moral is different" yes, this statement is what makes this series moves. this anime is filled with much (i can't count it, so i use much) philosophical based thinking, combined with computer science and heavy talking. mistery based anime that i can give straight 8 besides terror in tokyo, what makes this series that worth is the evidence is there from the beginning. story 8/10 the story about classic closed room murder case. genius teacher with philosophical thinking, with his god-like in calculation student that trying to solve this mistery. it's classic, but i can't say i hate classic. it gives impression of how you will think, you will trying to guess who's the killer. personally, i think A-1 did a good job presenting the story in this series art 9/10 9/10 is worth score to the art. the art, animation, and shoots is indeed done well for this mistery genre anime. well timed camera change, good art and animation gives the soul of what the story trying to tell sound 7.5/10 it's not that bad, it's not that good. it just above the average. good actor, but not too suited for the role besides the main character. the opening is done well, and some BGM is suited for situation. but, there's no significant role to the series character 8/10 the character is human like character. it's solid, has flaws, emotional. the character is done well by the writer of the novel (i don't read the novel) enjoyment 8/10 as this anime series categorized as mistery anime. it's heavy, full of content. as you missed the fact and trying to guess, this anime opened the evidence one by one to give you different view to guess the criminal overall 8.6/10 as it's not worth 9. i just can give it 8.6. the anime that makes you think. as it is can be categorized as hard anime, it needs thinking to give the full enjoyment and understanding to this anime. if you want just watch anime and laugh your ass off, this anime is not recommended to you

Once in a while an anime comes into the scene that defies all genre conventions, and for me this season its Subete ga F Ni Naru. As one of the most polarising shows I've seen, many people either love it or hate it based on the first episode, with that opinion not usually standing through the whole series. I personally like the show a lot, but I will dread defending it as its a pretty surreal and not always comfortable experience. Subete ga F ni Naru is a mystery anime centred around Magata Shiki, a genius programmer trapped in a research facility. Our main protagonists are two quirky characters, a rich arrogant young lady by the name of Nishinosono Moe and a dry but smart professor, Saikawa Souhei, two quirky yet ordinary people who get caught up in something shocking that happens within the facility. That does sound pretty standard, with the mystery genre having been done time and again across various TV anime and serial drama. However, I strangely find that the series's strongest point is in its uniqueness, its first episode already demonstrates one of the series' main quirks: copious amount of talking. Not even detective stuff, a lot of it is the dry talking as you would see in our daily lives. It might get boring for people who want some action, but it fleshes out each character's quirks really well in a unique manner. The show does have a long length for its main plot of a single mystery, with extra time spent on fleshing out its characters, the interplay between Moe and Souhei being the main highlight of the show. The two of them have intense debates and its a joy seeing them play off one another. This character focused approach was to me a really interesting direction for a mystery story to take and one of my favourite parts of the show. I also liked how the show avoided a lot of the main pitfalls of the mystery genre, there were no illogical coincidences and the things that did not make sense were at least pretty unpredictable. There were no cheats or details hidden from the audience either, pretty refreshing for a mystery series. The execution of the show is excellent, with a masterful soundtrack alongside dramatic camera angles and set pieces, making it really easy to get absorbed into its atmosphere. You will see vibrant and colourful scenery, cold and futuristic research facilities, even vast and otherworldly oceans. Each set piece is filled with the personality of the person inhabiting, making what is going on screen feel more natural. Especially notable is the contrast of the show, because of how mundane the things on screen sometimes look, the poignant moments really stand out with its surreal art design impressing the viewer. Subete ga F ni Naru is a breath of fresh air blowing into this anime scene littered with tropes. Fearlessly being unconventional, it stands as an example of a series that has some actual meaning to its surreality, not just randomness for its own sake, and I hope we get to see more series like it in future.

Subete ga F ni Naru is contemporary psychological mystery anime that invites you to think along, while never quite fully explaining itself. It touches on some rather sensitive and disturbing romance and sex themes, as well as exploring the workings of the human mind in a more philosophical sense. Animation / Art / General Visuals - 8/10 ----------------------------------------------- The setting of the show really doesn't leave much room for art or animation to shine, but for this type of show, it looks perfectly acceptable. The character designs and detail is solid, environments sufficiently detailed, and animations clear enough to get emotions across. Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 9/10 ------------------------------------------ Some beautiful classical pieces and top notch voice acting make the show pleasing to the ears. It doesn't overdo with fancy music tracks of effects. Extra credit is given to the two VA's who portray a several minute long dialogue in English, despite being obvious Japanese natives. Their English is heavily accented but clear and easy to understand, and surprisingly adds another layer of complexity to the show's mystery plot. Story - 8/10 ------------- Subete ga F ni Naru has a peculiar story with no clear beginning nor end. The mystery the show revolves around is interesting, but it serves more of a plot device for the gathering of the main characters, and the exploration of their thoughts, feelings, and other philosophical contemplations. The mystery itself isn't overly deep, though solving it fully as a viewer is quite difficult. Still, it's possible to figure out the gist of it well ahead of the eventual revelations. The greater part of the story is in truth the relationships between the main characters. The main characters are extreme intellectuals who view the world very much differently from regular people, but also from each-other due to how their particular style of intellect functions. The notable age gap further complicates things, as does their attachment and interest in the mystery. There's an awkward, even sensitive or disturbing romance and sex theme, depending on how you look at it. If the topics of potential grooming and underage sex disturb you, then you might want to avoid the show as these themes have a central importance. As a whole, the story is perfectly happy to leave us viewers in a state of contemplation as to what actually happened, who is right, and who is wrong. To some, this will be a big negative, to others, it will be an enjoyable mental exercise and a chance at some introspection. Characters - 8/10 --------------------- Saikawa, Souhei is an extremely intelligent university professor who cannot help but to feel restrained by the world around him. Struggling to relate to most people around him, he spends his free time philosophising about various topics relating to the human mind and existence, while dreaming of meeting one of the greatest intellectual minds in the world. Nishinosono, Moe is a young but extremely intelligent college student who is enamoured with professor Saikawa and spends much of her free time visiting him in his office, looking to grow closer to him and break through his peculiar barriers created by his unique type of intelligence. Magata, Shiki is considered the greatest intellectual mind on the planet. Having apparently killed her parents at the age of 14, and then spent the next 15 years in an isolated island doing research, her motivations remain a mystery. Her character is hard to get a handle on, and delving somewhat deeper into her psyche through-out the show is a fun process. There are also numerous secondary characters that help fill the screen time, but as a whole the story focuses on these three individuals and how their personalities and intellects interact. It is fun, though at times confusing. --- Total - 8/10 --- Subete ga F ni Naru is an interesting anime that doesn't really dazzle with anything up front, but does make you want to think along. The mystery is fun, but the character relations and deeper concepts of the human mind and the very human existence might be even more so. At the same time, some of the romance and sex themes might be too much for some people to enjoy, though it does serve a purpose in the story, and further adds topics of discussion to think about. As a whole it's a fun watch for those looking for something more cerebral than the average anime.

After passing it over at least half a dozen times while deciding which anime to watch, my wife and I finally gave The Perfect Insider a go and if nothing else it was certainly unique and didn't feel overly like any other anime we've seen. At just 11 episodes it's a fast, approachable program, though it somehow manages to feel like it doesn't truly even have enough content to fill that very short run time, and it certainly loses steam towards the end as well, leaving us with an overall mixed bag that I'll now discuss with a bit more detail. From the very beginning the program treads the fine line of delving into philosophical territory and staying focused on the matter at hand. It repeatedly asks questions along the lines of "What is the meaning of true freedom?" and "What does it mean to be alive?", which isn't my cup of tea to begin with, but for most of the show it sprinkles this in just enough to where it isn't obnoxious. Towards the end, however, it starts laying it on a little thicker. Between the push towards the philosophical and the "multiple personalities" plot point, I suppose the anime this reminds me the most of, though they're still largely different entities, is The Garden of Sinners. The core of the show, and the part that will keep the viewer engaged, is the murder mystery we're trying to solve. How satisfying a mystery program is really lives and dies by how good or not good its resolution is and in this case I'd say it's mediocre. This plot in its entirety relies on the all too common and all too convenient anime trope in which there is a character who is not only a genius, but in fact so, so, so much smarter than everyone else that they're able to meticulously plan things out years in advance, make zero mistakes in doing so, execute them perfectly and have no one around them catch on to any of it. The events of the show are technically possible, but they really, really stretch plausibility to the max. While the viewer MAY be able to solve the "Who is the culprit?" part of the mystery, it's basically impossible to solve the code presented early on in the show. No one watching this is going to figure out what "Everything becomes F" means without looking it up. It gets into hexadecimals and is super esoteric and thus feels cheap in that we're presented with a mystery that we cannot realistically solve. I found the answer to this to be more of an eye roll than anything else because there was no chance in hell, even if I were given five years to do nothing but sit there and think about it, I'd be able to come up with the correct answer and I feel quite safe in assuming the same would be true for damn near every single other viewer. Presentation wise, they nailed it. The anime looks good, sounds good and while this was never dubbed, the subtitles I watched on the blu ray release were seemingly perfect. I didn't notice a single mistake! My wife really liked both the opening and ending songs as well. The overall pacing is fine. It's only 11 episodes so it's not going to have long stretches of nothingness, but we do still see a few flashback scenes repeatedly and they start to get old and the last episode in particular is a total snoozefest. The "real ending" is in episode 10. The 11th and final episode almost feels unnecessary, but it certainly isn't exciting at all one way or another. I am confident they could have cut this down to 10 episodes with a few small edits, really reinforcing that there isn't a whole lot of meat on the bone, even if what is there is reasonably good. Overall I enjoyed The Perfect Insider enough to not regret watching it, though I definitely liked the first half more than the second, and there's little reason to ever watch this a second time once you know the resolution. At just 11 episodes it's a short enough ride to easily be binged in a day or two, so it wouldn't be a huge waste of anyone's time if you were to give it a go and ultimately didn't like it. Worth one watch? Maybe. Something you'd be "missing out" on if you passed over it? Nope. Do with what as you please. OBJECTIVE RATING- 7-7.5 PERSONAL ENJOYMENT RATING- 7-7.5

I even forgot about the topic because I started watching it randomly. Although the answer is clear from the beginning in mystery genre anime, there were parts of it that I did not understand until the end. Although the explanations of the crime come quickly, you can understand better by reading the comments. I liked the philosophy and thought of the character we call "villain". People generally thought it was psychopathic and ridiculous. However, I think the professor and the criminal character were very well written characters. On the other hand, I felt like there was a forced romance, the main character girl was very annoying. Although it reminds me of the main character in psycho-pass, I think this girl's behaviours were more disturbing. Btw, you can also find meaningful quotes. It's only 11 eps so its worth watching.

I had been looking forward to a dark and gripping mystery since episode two but was deeply disapppointed. Perfect Insider has so much wasted potential due to two big issues: lacklustre character development and trying to be too many things at once. Let's talk about the former first. I know this is an adaptation of a novel but since I haven't read any of it my review will be based purely on the anime itself. First of all, I couldn't help thinking throughout the whole show how much better it would be if they had just gotten rid of Nishinosono. Her only purpose is to contrast the main character, who finds it a need, for some reason, to blatantly remind us all the time. Other than that she's just an empty shell for him to verbalize his worldviews and philosophies to. Secondly, how can the protaganist's character be so much more underdeveloped than the antangonist and his sidekick? There is no backstory and premise that leads to him being who he is now. No one cares about his worldview if no one can relate to him. Dialogues are but means to an end, with the end being the viewers being able to connect to the characters. They have failed terribly in this aspect and poured all their efforts in the means. And other than being freakishly smart, Magata happens to be a self-justified psycho too? Care to work on her innerworld a little more and make us understand how she became who she is? It appears that whoever wrote her (for the anime at least) can't seem to figure out how to shape her character properly. Now let's talk about trying to be too many things at once. Expectations generally vary greatly between fans of different genres. While it isn't uncommon for geners to crossover, it requires much finesse to weave them together. The Perfect Insider lacks it unfortunately. If you try to become everything to everyone, then you will accomplish being nothing to anyone. I give it a score of 1 for romance, 6 for mystery, and 5 for literature. If they has just dropped any of the 3 mentioned above, the whole show would be greatly more enjoyable: - Drop the romance and get rid of Nishinosono. Focus more on the character development of Saikawa and Magata. - Drop the literature and the floating head syndrome and work more on the mystery and character development. - Drop the mystery and focus more on the romance and literature AND, once again, character develpoment. Anyway, end of rant. 6 out of 10 for me.

I absolutely loved this anime. Everything about it enchanted me from the very beginning; from the main character, Nishinosono, to the mystery lurking at the core of it all, to the eerie feel that the whole series has. You'll remain in awe of the characters' sheer mental brilliance from the beginning to the end, and you'll come to understand Nishinosono more than you understand yourself. The show makes it so very clear to its audience what the motivations of each character are, in its own time. If you're confused, just keep watching: everything will be revealed eventually, and what isn't is barely enough to tantalize you. It is, I believe, a psychological horror, and if you like that genre, you can't go wrong with Subete ga F ni Naru. Beware of some blood, though.

Story 5/10 If I had to summarize this series in one word I would say "over-complicated". Sure, I like wild stories in mystery series as much of the next guy but The Perfect Insider takes it to a new level of unanswered questions and out-there theories that the main character just **suddenly realizes** with very limited investigation. If I had to describe it in another word, I would add "frustrating". The mystery begins in episode 2 (or 3?) and they don't do any actual investigation until episode seven. Everything up until then is a lazy romance plot that is very lackluster and a lot of repetition of stuff the audience already knows. Numerous scenes where they just repeat "What did he mean when he said that?" and "How did they get in and out of the room?" and "What does F stand for" but the audience works with pretty much nothing while the protagonist and his lackey magically pull these extremely spot-on theories out of nowhere. I mean seriously, the audience gets to work with nothing and then the protagonist spouts about how "obvious" the answer was. Art 7/10 A bit inconsistent but primarily good. Overall character design, backgrounds, and animation quality were decent, but Nishinosono is an outlier in this because he design was pretty bad and she was the only one i noticed where sometimes her eyes weren't sitting even or her nose disappeared or something like that. The art was probably the best part of the series I'll just say that. Sound 5/10 The OP theme was really catchy but the use of sound effects, soundtrack and the ending theme were very bluh. Sound affects were at times abnormally loud for something like opening a book or setting down a cup, and then the soundtrack would be very mellow during a scene that was supposedly very dramatic and that was also confusing to me. Character 2/10 Arguably the most frustrating thing about this series were the characters. I don't really know why they bothered creating characters that only served the purpose of ooeing and aweing at Saikawa, the ultimate super-genius that nobody questions because he's so cool and complicated that he is just on a completely different level from anyone else blah blah blah. Saikawa was so flawed and nobody really acknowledged it because he deflects everything every character says with word vomit about how he understands the real world better than them. I mean, a bulk of the series is him praising this incestuous murderer as being the most enlightened and admirable person he knows. Seriously? Nobody is going to mention that? And Nishinosono was annoying as a character that was set up to be "the cutesy one who fawns over Saikawa constantly" but there are times where Saikawa directly rejects her and she freaks out and tries to hit him? Thats not exactly a great love story thats being set up is it? And all the other characters are on the back burner of importance as in they do nothing and don't stand out. Enjoyment 3/10 I'll admit it had me hooked with the concept of a "locked room murder mystery" but there is a literally a million more ways that the mystery could've been solved without the enormous amount of roundabouts and guessing that the characters did to get there. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 is that is wasn't genuinely terrible to watch until around episode 6 where I kind of realized that there was a lot of wasted time in between important events that the characters could've spent oh I don't know...investigating the murder they'd just been involved in instead of tossing around a lousy going-nowhere romance subplot that wasn't going to be fulfilled in the end anyway. Overall 4/10 I'd grade it lower if not for the fact that it did keep my attention (which is more than I can say about some anime) and the art/op theme were appealing. The ending was not satisfying by any means, a lot of questions went unanswered (I'd list a few but they'd be spoilers) and the whole "this crazy incestuous murdering woman was actually a super genius" left a bad taste. Wouldn't recommend it honestly.

The Perfect Insider is an anime that I was interested in ever since it came out in winter 2015, mainly because of the interesting synopsis and the OP which was visually and sonically very pleasing, but I didn't see it until recently and honestly, I regret not watching this earlier. As a mystery anime, The perfect insider does it's job very well. It keeps you guessing throughout and has a good suspense element. It's one of the better and more unique locked room mysteries that I've come across, It's just extremely dark and creepy and tries to get you hooked early on. Through 11 episodes it manages to tell a good cohesive story through some smart characterization, The way they tackle the mystery is really good, They take an extremely logical approach to solving the case and that is one of the biggest strengths of the anime. The Sci-Fi part of this show I truly appreciate, mainly because the source material for this anime is a 1996 novel by Hiroshi Mori, The fact that he wrote it then and it's still so modern and relevant is a great thing and it also plays well into constructing the mystery and symbolically painting pictures. From a Technical aspect this is one of more Hipster anime I've seen in recent years, It's whole background design is very different, they use a lot of shapes and shit, Idk why but it looks great. The cinematography and camera are pleasantly weird, especially during conversations, it makes for a pretty noble experience, The characters are weird too, they aren't bound by any normal storytelling rules and as the mystery progresses it adds a lot of dimension to both the characters and the story. Another thing I love about this show is how they end each episode, It's always very strong and makes you want to immediately click the next episode. The music does a good job of complimenting the mystery and the eerie atmosphere, I love both the OP and ED, The OP is one of my all time favorites. The animation is consistent and strong throughout. No complaints here. Coming to the cons, While the show does a good job tackling the science and mystery in a very intelligent way, It at times fails in some of the more normal human aspects, Like maybe relationships or maybe the grief after a death or maybe when the killer is probably around you but you want to go bed. It's kinda frustrating because this is truly an amazing mystery, Even if you make a good prediction, it will still be interesting to see how it plays out. But Some things are just a little unbelievable and forced, So yeah, that's quite a knock on this show. It is also extremely talkative and preachy, which I don't mind but a lot of people might get bored easily, this surely isn't an anime for everyone. Overall, this is was a great anime, not one that's for everyone but that's why I would recommend it to everyone. There's only one way to find out and that's you watching it, Love it or hate it, this is a mystery that you just can't miss. If you can make it past the first couple of episodes and still hang around, you're in for a real treat. My Rating:- 8.25/10

To me this anime has two big themes that are really well developed: it's a mystery story but it is also an existential story. Both of them are treated pretty good. What do I mean by that?: the mystery plot is not overly simple neither overly complicated, they show all the evidence you would need to create a theory that will lead you to solve the mystery as long as you keep your mind open. In that sense is a good mystery show, it's not easily predictable (which would make it dull) but neither overly complicated (which would make it "unfair" as the viewer might not have all the elements to solve the mystery before or together with the characters). With respect to the existentialsm inherent to some of the characteres, this could be a more personal opinion, but the thoughts discussed in the show are really interesting and I felt identified with a lot of them: freedom, human nature, life and death, etc. big topics that are not shallowy discussed as the characteres seem really coherent: characteres with a complicated past, with complicated personalities, with complicated thoughts about life, with contradictions and overwhelming emotions... you know, like humans tend to be. I enjoyed the story a lot: I saw the whole show in one night (is very short so...) which means that it kept my interest and I wanted to know more about the story of the characteres and the resolution of the plot. This is pull out with only a few characters, which I think is very valuable (in some mystery anime they tend to include docens of characteres in the plot to confuse you and over complicate the argument). To me the whole business with the computer and the maths its mostly complementary, it's not the centre of discussion neither the base of the argument (I work with coding and stuff like that, there was nothing deep related to it), it was just a way to show the sadness and freedom desire of the characters, as to them the digital world is a "perfect" world, as the digital world lacks everything that makes the real world a world where you want to escape from, a world where you suffer because you are constrained. In summary, I highly recommend this anime to people that enjoys mystery plots and that also enjoys to contemplate exitentialist arguments that will keep you thinking for a few days later about these topics: some times I feel like I need another way to think about things, and the view this show presents is a very interesting one. Intersting thoughts, that's the best about this anime.

This was such a great anime, it drags you in with philosophical questions and twists and turns that would change the outcome of the plot ,but not too much bringing you back to the first question always. A pair of geniuses are stuck with a mystery to solve, and you as a viewer question during the entire 11 episodes, "Is this what it means to be a genius? To go through the burden of human existence?" The artwork wasn't great and I'm happy it wasn't or else it may have taken the attention away from the story. But maybe better artwork could've attracted a larger audience who knows, I'm no artist. But overall most people who will or are critical of the anime haven't seen past episodes 1 or 2. And I stongly suggest you watch past it and you probably won't regret it.

This journey was a mind blowing experience and a very refreshing mystery anime to see. As a fan of mystery genre of anime, I was delighted to finally find an anime which followed the archetype yet provide an out of this world story and experience. Story: 9/10 This is the main attraction of this anime. Its story. Despite it having a slow start at the beginning and it being a very monotonous and boring anime at times, this is an anime about talking, as the opening suggests. The mystery is basically a locked room murder case, with no one entering the room for around 7 years already. It works very well as a mystery anime, as this is one of the most mind blowing locked room murder cases I have ever seen. To me, this mystery has used a commonly used murder mystery archetype and crafted it into something which is quite out of the box. And all this is done while having a side story of Magata Shiki at the end of the episode as well. Art: 6/10 The art in this anime tends to be very dull, which makes it not as interesting. Due to them usually being indoors as well, they are constantly surrounded by grey walls which further makes it unappealing. The characters are also designed a little weird, with majority of them having very pale and whitish looking faces. Sound: 6/10 The anime does use background music from time to time in certain moments to provide atmosphere but does not utilize much in terms of background music as compared to other anime. Though it is more understandable as almost the entire show compromises of the characters talking on and on and on. One negative about he voice actors, especially Saikawa's is that they are very monotonous. This is a considerable downfall, especially when the main thing he does is talk. This makes the anime much more boring at several times. Characters: 6/10 For this, there are only 3 main characters who we have to take note of. They are Saikawa sensei, Nishinosono Moe and Magata Shiki. With Magata being the most interesting of the lot to me. Saikawa and Nishinosono's relation ship is abasically her liking him and him friendzoning her. Their relation is also similar to that of a master is to a helper, with Saikawa figuring things out much quicker and much better than Nishinosono. Magata on the other hand is a professor who was the victim of a locked room murder. Magata is the character who is a genius and doesnt have any morals binding her. Saikawa is a slightly pretentious character at times who is interested in Magata in terms of how she thinks and such. Enjoyment: 9/10 Personally, i enjoyed this very very much. As a person who enjoys mystery anime a lot, this one certainly did bring it to the table. There were a handful of plot twists here and there which made me go "Woah" a couple of times. Along with the right amount of information withheld and given to keep you at the edge of your seat. Even though there was that, most of the time, you would be listening to line after line of dialogue. During this time, one would either think about how the mystery would be solved or would be bored out of their minds. Overall: 8/10 In short, this is a very nicely crafted piece of mystery. However, despite how captivating the entire story was, most other aspects of the anime tend to be lacking. It falls short in terms of making the anime more entertaining. This causes the person watching to be very easily bored while watching. Unless the story makes up for it. Which is what I feel has happened. This is a very intriguing mystery which was what I felt unpredictable. It was a wild ride and provided a story which I could not see coming at all. Overall, I give Subete ga F ni naru: The perfect insider a 8/10. I also apologize for my inability to express the mystery as I do not want to spoil anything. Thanks for reading.

I really could have enjoyed this title more if the pacing was better for this anime. It felt like some episodes kept dragging on and on. Kys Don't get me wrong it did have some good suspense. It just lost my interest at some parts. A good point this anime deals with is morals.! Is it morally right to take a life for this? Etc. The last episode was a nice conclusion in my opinion though. 🙂 I loved how obviously they showed the difference between the characters morals and values though. I wish this anime dived in more with Saikawa's past like they did with Moe. I think it would have let me enjoy this anime more, to know why he is who he is then and why he thinks his morals like he does.

The existence is not simply F Subete ga F is not an easy anime to see, starting with the main theme, a mystery, the murder of one of the most important scientific throughout Japan, or this is how you would raise, followed by the thousand and technicalities related to the programming which greatly influence the murder, use of existentialism and love in relation to death, something that leaves you wondering sometimes if you're someone open-minded, so if you do not know or you are interested in these issues simply do not see this anime. The drawing is regular, initially I thought I would have a good character design and good scenery, but from the first chapter used a CG of a car that dislike me and everything was getting worse, very distant shots of the faces of the characters, deformations, etc. in the end the only thing I liked was the scenery. The opening is very good representing the three main characters, the more ready will understand the opening, and the ending is just as good. The characters do not develop as much as I would have liked Saikawa with a somewhat pessimistic attitude toward life in the end laughs at the life of someone else, Magata a crazy murder who doesn´t understand the difference between living in love and love to live, and Nishinosono who is the contrast of the previous 2, intelligent, with many not knowing how to control feelings. In general it is a bit special picture is like the last 2 chapters of Evangelion, if you do not think about the existence and add love, you will not like him and you end up bored.

It’s sad that the only mystery show of the year turned out to be a bit over the top and full of philosophy that most of the time seemed to be nonsensical. The Perfect Insider always played with weird philosophy, but it at least acknowledged that such philosophy was weird. The problem started right at the end of the show, just after the main mysteries (a little bit farfetched) were solved. It also didn’t help that the anime presented main characters that were a bit annoying as well. Souhei felt to be the know-it-all of the show, the one that knew everything about the world and life, and a person who used such “knowledge” to make his own philosophy. Moe was a cocky little girl who just wanted to be noticed by her sensei. And Magata, well, we know about her at the end of the show, so there wasn’t so many problems with her. However, the first two grew with time, as well as their relationship, which turned out to be the best part of the show, and the best part of the finale. Aa Souhei was the main “detective”, he dropped his philosophical persona to be the one who explained the problems to us, something that helped him a lot to be more likeable. Moe grew a lot as well. Although she didn’t give up her love for her sensei, she stopped wanting to impress Souhei and tried to be an equal to him. And thanks to her backstory, we could understand why she was a bit obsessed with her. The mystery per se was understandable at the beginning, with some shocking twists right at the beginning of the anime, to great back story at the middle of it, with compelling development for Magata as well. But just by the end of the show, it went some way that didn’t quite worked out for me. The production values were nice. Animation and art were very interesting, especially during moments where our heroes enter a machine which materialized their thoughts, showing us some surreal and beautiful sceneries. The music was good as well, especially during the revelations and twists moments. The OP and the ED were really entertaining, being the former the one that stood out to me (watching our protagonists dancing is really amazing, especially Magata, who performs a ballet-like choreography which is simply beautiful). Overall, the show was entertaining and would be a nice gateway for newcomers to anime. Our main heroes grew up a lot during the 11 episodes. However, the mystery took twists that were too ridiculous, and the presence of almost nonsensical philosophy ruined everything by the end. Not the best, but not the worst thing ever.
