Subete ga F ni Naru
すべてがFになる THE PERFECT INSIDER
The Perfect Insider

Murder mystery case drowned under meaningless ramblings, stuffed with characters that have no motivations. The story is completely nonsensical since the beginning, hence the logic and common sense were taken away from the characters to divert the attention from the case. Couldn't they at least inspect the corpse of the victim? "Philosophical" monologues, self-praises for the thrice in a generation geniuses, eureka moments coming from hints never shown, and garbage romance drama... This is just bad. I can't care less about the controversy over immoral/illicit actions or scenes that reviewers usually praise as brave or condemn as disgusting, because it's a fictional story like everything else.

It's very odd witnessing shows to the likes of Subete ga F ni Naru... intentionally sterile shows. Very sterile. It feels more like reading a book than watching an anime, and not a good one at that. Subete ga F ni Naru is clearly focused on delivering one murder mystery, that of a person and their interpretation of the world. Thus, its objective should be non other than to invoke the gears inside your mind; to make you think, make you ask, and when you find the answer, make you stand in awe at the view. As to how much this anime succeeded in that -- that is to say, how intellectually stimulating it managed to be, even with its philosophically engaging dialogue -- is to me, arguable. For once, you can spot the pseudo-intellectualism. To the writer, having characters solve stupidly hard math really quick, or having them say "no one has ever managed to surprise me", translates to prodigious levels of intellect. Yes, these are indicative of high intelligence, but this anime doesn't have any other ways to effctively say "look, this character is actually really smart", which in turn makes them look like either prophets or clowns. Plus, the programming references are kinda funny, though I will spare the nitpicking since the source material dates back to 1996. Combine to the above, the ambiguous morality of this show. This anime attempts to conceal literal degeneracy, either by toning down external reactions, or putting a philsophical blanket over everything, even if thin. Specifically, Subete ga F ni Naru is shamelessly trying to overlook the atrocities of murder and pedophilia. I'm totally in when it comes to exploring such morbid themes, but this show doesn't take any precautions whatsoever in tackling them. It just ignores everything. It's seriously, SERIOUSLY poisonous. In the final episode, even suicide is openly suggested. Unless there are solid philosophical foundations and strong counter arguements to explore these subjects, shows like this should stay away from them. Pretending to be clever is one thing... but ignoring the gravity of these crimes under the pretext of "I'm just different" is unforgivable. At the very least, it doesn't try to justify them. Characters are almost pure detectives - that is to say, characters without impact. Their actions do not matter, and neither do their thoughts; the main protagonists are simply two pairs of glasses, the Detective and the Watson. And that's usually what you want in a detective story... though when the show has nothing else to offer, it becomes a problem. Granted, Saikawa and Nishinosono have some quite interesting chemistry, though the latter is irritating. And Magata is just a troll. Seriously. It's a babushka doll of trollery and "I'm 14 and this is deep" in its purest form. So while you can find some good dialogue between these three, there's nothing else of substance to be taken elsewhere. The same can be said for the rest: no other character is given enough background to become a suspect or even interesting in our mystery. Subete ga F ni Naru is an eleven episode anime describing the events of two or three days, plus some sparse flashbacks. And it doesn't do it well. Average production values and slow pacing. Dodges morality like the flu. Slightly mocking of your intelligence. It's dull. It's what you'd see while travelling in a highschool trip, having nothing else to do; watch it cautiously in the hopes of getting a good mystery, realize that "hey, these guys are pretty nuts", learn something, enjoy the trolling, and walk away unharmed. There is philosophical merit to this show, it's not completely white. At the end of the day however, it's just an awkwardly made piece of work. It's mediocre. It's not insulting enough to be appaling, yet not good enough to redeem itself. Therefore, seize this opportunity to bathe yourself in golden irony for a moment: as it is, everyhing becomes Five for this one.

I don't write reviews often, but Subete ga F ni Naru is one of the most brilliant anime that I have watched. I won't write much about the story but I'll just expand on why I think it is really extraordinary without spoiling much content. On the surface, this seems like a sub-par mystery anime involving a smart detective solving a hard case. But it will definitely surprise many of you. The story slowly reveals itself through many clues dropped throughout every episode. Moreover, it takes a long time to analyze information that is given along with many twists in the story. The final few episodes was really intense as the story unravels itself after the buildup. One of my favorite quote in this anime is "when everything becomes F." In conclusion, if you really enjoy mystery / sci-fi anime, I would highly recommend this. Along with Steins: Gate, this is by far my second favorite anime involving (thinking and analysis )

Review in English! Review in Portuguese! The conception of this anime is very interesting: to solve a mystery through logic and, mainly, introspection. It doesn't seem anything out of the ordinary of the mystery genre, does it? Well, in Subete ga F ni Naru, mystery is not its reason for existence, but the attention and internal reflection on what happens there. It's about freeing the mind from limits or conventions to understand a situation that is beyond what seems to be happening. Don't worry, this is not exactly a spoiler. I just want to say that you have to watch this anime with a slightly different point of view than usual. And that differential is a strong point of the anime. The anime plot is magnificent. The succession of events takes us by surprise several times. With each episode that ends, you get more intrigued without being able to find answers or reasons for the events. Only, perhaps, you may not like the rhythm of the anime, since for some it may sound slow. But not for me. The rhythm of the anime was perfect and it passed quickly. The direction of the anime was very professional and competent, no doubt. The script is a very good aspect of the work. For example, the dialogues are coherent and cohesive. However, this does not mean that they are easy to understand, as their complexities demand an extremely open and reflective mind, as well as those of the main characters, who play the roles of introspective. The characters are very well developed and their interaction is exceptional; it is hard not to like the fluidity that occurs between them in the midst of mystery. Now, don't expect to exactly identify with the characters emotionally, after all this is not the core of the work. The core is the work of introspection and reflection. But if you happen to identify yourself with any of them, I would say that this will be a great bonus for your experience with this anime, because, as I said, they are very well developed. And if you notice that some detail is missing, I recommend interpreting this as being part of the idea of the work and the perpetuation of its mystery. The animation was beautiful and extremely effective, because it showed itself most of the time well designed, with a sometimes grayish and sometimes quite colorful colorization, with a good rhythm, with interesting "camera shots" and with scenes that exactly translate the introspective conception of the anime. The soundtrack was 10/10. The opening song, along with its psychedelic animation, are extremely contagious, thus combining with the imaginative side of the work and making you already excited to watch more of anime. The closing song is another one that is very good and combines more with the computer logic side of anime. The internal soundtrack of the episodes was also competent. The direction got it right with the soundtrack in general. I always try to see things out of cliché, that is, I always try to watch animes that present me with new ideas or proposals that I haven't tried yet and Subete ga F ni Naru has given me this differentiated experience, which has even instigated my self-knowledge even more. For Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider I give Very Good = 8/10. I strongly recommend that you watch! And here I close this review. I hope I convinced you to watch. See you next time! ------------------------------------------ A concepção desse anime é muito interessante: solucionar um mistério através de lógica e, principalmente, introspecção. Não parece nada fora do normal do gênero mistério, né? Pois bem, em Subete ga F ni Naru, o mistério não é a sua razão de existência, mas sim a atenção e a reflexão interna sobre o que acontece ali. Trata de liberar a mente dos limites ou convenções para compreender uma situação que está além do que parece estar acontecendo. Não se preocupe, isso não é exatamente um spoiler. Eu apenas quero dizer que é preciso assistir esse anime com um ponto de vista um pouco diferente do normal. E esse diferencial é um ponto forte do anime. O enredo do anime é magnífico. A sucessão de acontecimentos pega-nos de surpresa diversas vezes. A cada episódio que termina, você fica mais intrigado sem conseguir achar respostas ou motivos para os acontecimentos. Apenas, talvez, podem não gostar muito do ritmo do anime, uma vez que para alguns pode soar lento. Mas para mim não. O ritmo do anime foi perfeito e passava rapidinho. A direção do anime foi muito profissional e competente, sem dúvidas. O roteiro é um aspecto muito bom da obra. Por exemplo, os diálogos são coerentes e coesos. Entretanto isso não quer dizer que são fáceis de serem compreendidos, pois as suas complexidades demandam uma mente extremamente aberta e reflexiva, assim como as dos personagens principais, que fazem os papéis de introspectivos. Os personagens são muito bem desenvolvidos e a interação deles é excepcional; é difícil não gostar da fluidez que ocorre entre eles em meio ao mistério. Agora, não espere exatamente identificar-se com os personagens emocionalmente, afinal esse não é o cerne da obra. O cerne é o trabalho de introspecção e reflexão. Mas, se você, por acaso, identificar-se com algum deles, eu diria que isso será um ótimo bônus para a sua experiência com esse anime, pois, como eu já disse, eles são muito bem desenvolvidos. E, se você notar que faltou desenvolverem algum detalhe, eu recomendo interpretar isso como sendo parte da ideia da obra e da perpetuação do seu mistério. A animação ficou linda e extremamente eficaz, pois se mostrou na maior parte do tempo bem desenhada, com uma colorização por vezes acinzentada e por vezes bastante colorida, com um bom ritmo, com interessantes "lances de câmera" e com cenas que traduzem exatamente a concepção introspectiva do anime. A trilha sonora ficou 10/10. A música de abertura, juntamente com a sua animação psicodélica, são extremamente contagiantes, combinando, assim, com o lado imaginativo da obra e fazendo você já ficar empolgado para assistir mais do anime. A música de encerramento é outra que é muito boa e combina mais com o lado de lógica de computação do anime. A trilha sonora interna dos episódios também foi competente. A direção acertou em cheio com a trilha sonora no geral. Eu sempre busco ver coisas fora do clichê, isto é, eu sempre busco assistir animes que me apresentem ideias ou propostas novas que eu não experimentei ainda e Subete ga F ni Naru me proporcionou essa experiência diferenciada, que até instigou ainda mais o meu auto-conhecimento. Para Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider eu dou nota muito bom = 8/10. Recomendo fortemente que assistam! E aqui eu encerro essa review. Espero ter-lhe convencido a assistir. Até uma próxima!

Moe Nishinosono is infactuated with her professor Sohei Saikawa. One day she goes visit Shiki Mugata, a prodigy who gained her doctorate at the age of 11 but found to be guilty of murdering her parents one day. Yet, Mugata claims she didn't. She also happens to be held in high regard by the professor because of her high intelligence. Just to tease her professor further, Moe decides to make the annual camping trip to visit the remote island Mugata was being isolated at again. However, when they go to meet Mugata they discover her murdered, left with a severed body and in a wedding dress. Bothered about the odd questions she was asked during their meeting, Moe decides to take on the investigation herself together with her professor, Sohei. So this is an Anime based on a mystery novel by Hiroshi Mori. Art style is clean and has a calm atmosphere to it most of the time. Everyone mostly goes about as if nothing happened but, it can also get really creepy when the mystery picks up again thanks to its good use of sound. Thankfully there's a bit of romance between teacher and student (!) who both kind of lighten up the show a bit. If you're a programmer, you might find the show interesting too because it's quite technical. One thing for sure is, you won't want to watch this if you're after a nice bed time story.

*2nd Review so don't expect it to be great* My sole reason for giving this a 7 is because I liked the mystery in it other than that the characters specially the main antagonist(in a way) had the most dull and retarded character I have seen in ages. So let's just get to this. *Review will have spoilers* Simply because I can't tell what I like and dislike about the show without spoiling it a bit. First start with the story, Magata Shiki is a genius programmer who has lived her life on a Island and doesn't meet any guests or anyone so basically a shut in and one day when Two MC arrived on the Island and went to that Facility to actually meet Dr.Magata but ended up investigating two murder cases which happened just when they were about to meet Dr.Magata. That's it for the plot. It turns the murder was of Dr.Magata Shiki actually and right after that a another murder acquired makes it two murder cases. Now what bothered me the most was the character of Dr.Magata Shiki and it seemed like I was the only one who couldn't feel any sympathy for her character or never even liked the character no matter how hard they tried to show her as a genius and a total intellect I just couldn't get over the fact that was a freaking MURDERER and that to of her own parents. Yeah she was murderer and everyone seemed to be inspired from her and completely ignoring the fact that she was actually a murderer except for the main girl in the show named "Moe Nishinosono" who actually gave two shits about the murder of her parents and why she did it. Let's talk about characters now. As I already mentioned Magata Shiki was a murderer but not only that she was a fucking psychopath who doens't have any valid reasons behind killing her parents(even if she did that still would't change the fact that she is a murderer) but instead she just killed them because she wants "Freedom" Yes that's right, FREEDOM. To her freedom means killing all those who might stop you from doing anything. This is just SICK and twisted, how can one even like her character is beyond me also she was a Emo retard quoting nonsense like "Why do humans exist and shits like that" throughout the series so I guess you have got an pretty good idea of what her character was like. Those two things aside she also killed her daughter just because she couldn't kill Magata Shiki. *Sigh* I don't understand why people like her so much like WHY? As for our MC named "Sohei Saikawa" a genius professor who admires the personality of Magata Shike and declares her as the "Most Pure Human Ever" do I need to say more? I guess you have got a pretty good idea of how big of a Emo he was and Lastly our Main Girl "Moe Nishinosono" who was mostly obsessed with the teacher but somehow actually had a brain and questioned the Morals of Dr. Magata Shiki. The Mystery in this Anime was done pretty well in my opinion. The way story progressed was also pretty well-done. My only problem with the show is that they never really gave any solid reasoning behind the murder except that it was a form of showing "Love" really? LOL sorry with that kinda shit it's almost impossible to like the character of Magata Shiki. Her thoughts about humans were retarded, she was a murderer(Yes I will say it again and again) and above all that she was never caught and is living freely after committing all those crimes and never had any sign of regret like she just took the lives of 4 freaking people just because she had nothing better to do. People praising the hell out of Magata Shiki in the reviews is really really getting on my nerves now. All and all this show is good however the characters specially the character of MAGATA SHIKI is beyond retarded.

The whole time I was watching Subete ga F ni naru, I felt nothing but awe. The perfect insider fits its name perfectly. In its own way, it's flawless. I've always liked psychological and mystery themed plots cause it always makes me think. It triggers deep thinking that perhaps my brain slyly enjoys. And this anime, it's one of those. The animation is splendid but then I was never really that attentive on such. Personally, It's beautiful. I've always loved the ocean and it was shown in the story for a couple of times. The concept was impressive as well. It was well thought too. Since I've seen quite a few of the psychological anime, I've observed that some anime tries to appear to be intellectual that it comes to a point that it tries to mimic other elements from the other anime. It's indeed common in anime to have the same things and settings but that doesn't mean that it needs to be executed similarly too. I wouldn't name them since I'm also bad at remembering but I am sure I dropped some series cause of this. (I was never that active in mal so it doesn't really get updated either.)Also, I find it very impressive that there are no plot holes. If you seem to missed something, I guess you should watch it again. It was explained and shown. The story has a moderate pacing too so it wasn't really hard to catch up on what the characters were thinking. As for the characters, Dr. Magata sure is something. She's complicated but also simple at the same time. One of the things that I loved about her character was her unpredictability. She'll make it seem that you thought you had her all figure out but it's actually the opposite. She's interesting and a dangerous one too. The two main were great but sometimes the girl's talkativeness annoys me. It was bearable though. It's also essential in the series to complement Sensei's character. Be wary though, there's an illicit affair going on over some characters. It bothered me at some part but cause of that, I figured it out as well. It was fun coming up with answers xd Overall, I think it deserves a 9. I enjoyed it very much but it lacked something. I guess after perhaps figuring it out, when the revelation and conclusion happened in the last eps it wasn't that much surprising anymore. I guess that's why. To think that a 5 year old child already had her own existential crisis, that sure is something. I agree to Sensei's statement that Dr. Magata is pure; a purity that can never be achieved by normal humans; a purity that breaks all the customary morals in our present society. I've always admired intelligent people perhaps it's cause of a silly reason too. It's that they're not afraid to be different and Dr. Magata is one of them. Although no matter how much she seeks for freedom, I don't think she'll ever achieve it. I believe she's a weak person, thus she creates personalities from people that once offered her a safe haven. I suppose that it imprisons her more. But then, I guess that's her version of reality and one can never truly understand it. The human mind is a complex matter. That fact alone makes everyone of us interesting individually. I must say that her questions really does make you think. "Who are you?" "Why are you here?" "Where are you going?" Questions that has no validity of correct answers. It's just a matter of your own conviction and morals.

Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider forces you to experience the present and forfeit the ontological security that knowledge provides us with. That is to say, this anime is hospitably bizarre- if you approach it with humility. Bizarre is defined as strange or unusual; or unfamiliar. What makes something familiar? Isn't it that we have seen it before? That's right, this anime provides none or inadequate context to properly explain most of the characteristics of the characters. The interactions themselves, however (save for a few flashbacks), are polite and courteous, even when there is conflict despite their ostensible oddness (for example, the director's thumbs up). Furthermore, the odd idiosyncrasies of characters will easily make you chuckle (but not laugh). Philosophically, this show questions "madness" in a way that is reminiscent of psychologists such as Thomas Szaz and R.D. Laing (does it exist, or is it simply beyond the understanding of most people?). The explicable (but decontextualized) actions of the protagonists and antagonists, which seem to frustrate some viewers, are actually consistent with what the show suggests: that madness is a cop-out of an explanation brought on by not enough understanding, and that us, the viewers, simply don't have enough knowledge to understand. The story itself is enjoyable, but the world is incredibly sand-boxy. Anything you can imagine can exist because people are smart, and smart people can do anything. The seeming lack of effort and occasional Jimmy Neutron-esque clips before Saikawa's epiphanies are pretentious and distract us from the story. Despite some unnecessary sequences, Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider will keep your attention, ask important questions, and then disappear without a trace.

One of the most interesting anime out there. The complexity and deep lore are remarkable, touching on mature subjects like the nature of humanity, how the brain works, and the meaning of life and death. This anime is truly seinen—made for adults with a personality that enjoys thinking, analyzing, and searching for meaning. I really liked the character Saikawa, and Magata was written with near perfection. Maybe it’s because I’m into this kind of work, but I genuinely enjoyed it. Even the soundtrack stood out—it was so good that it helped me focus even more on the story. The anime, The Perfect Insider, really lives up to its name. The only thing I wished for was a slower or darker opening/ending to better fit the overall atmosphere. And if someone rates it poorly, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad anime—it just might not be their favorite genre, or they didn’t fully understand it. People often fear or dismiss what doesn’t make sense to them.

I will come out and say this. Seriously underrated work. Deserves at least an 8.5 rating. If you like crime solving and some philosophical theme this is of your taste. I usually skim through the videos and determine whether to watch an anime or not. I think after seeing this i would change my POV. Eventhough it is quite good it is not really the type of anime you want to watch again and again. But still for a single time it really is fun and we wont feel like we wasted our time watching this. So i recommend this anime to those who like complex plots and note here that the story progresses quite slowly despite only having 11 episodes.

I may be to late too write a review of this series, but, honestly speaking, i think this show is underrated. Here's my opinion as of what makes this series good, At first glance, from the start, at episode 1, it's hard to tell that this show is going to be a locked room murder mystery, because they emphasized the character a lot at the beginning as of "Who are they ?" and "What are their role in this story ?", Their backstory, relationship, etc. If you didn't read the synopsis before watching this series then you would probably left wondering, what is this series going to be in the future episode after watching the very first episode. When you look at in in a bigger scale, the premise is pretty simple actually. It's about a murder mystery, where it happened inside a room that no one went in or out for over 15 years. The main key to revealed the mystery lies in the character rather than the murder scene, at least that's what i think. Because throughout the series, the character has a lot more attention than the murder scene in addition when it comes to the character they put a lot of philosophical stuff in it which is one of the reason why i like the series a lot. Heck, even when they start the very first episode, they started it with some philosophical stuff about human itself which will keep going until the last episode, and i like it a lot that the each of the main character has a really unique way of thinking. In a normal human perspective, they might look crazy, but in that people's perspective whose have a unique way of thinking, we, the normal thinker, might look crazy. Which is why i think they put a character named Nishinosono Moe in the story as one of the main character, that has a normal perspective like any normal human, so most of the viewers whoa are watching the series at least has someone who they can relate to. For the pace of the story, i didn't find any problem at all. It has a really great pacing. Every episode got me excited. They balanced the proportion of the answer to the mystery properly and delivered it sometimes in thrilling way, sometimes in creepy way and sometimes in philosophical way. That makes it to the one other reasons why i like the series. And lastly, they ended it silently like nothing ever happened, at least that what i felt. it was a plot twist but it felt so silent and smooth rather than a bang which makes it the last reasons for why i like this series. The ending in my opinion was pretty satisfying. Everything was answered in the end but left in with a little bit of mysterious feeling of a flashback. In the end, in my opinion, this series is very philosophical. It was brave enough to dig deep into philosophical subject of "Human". Basically, the character talked a lot about human. Everything about human. "Who are we ?" , "What are we ?" , "Where are we going ?". I always admire this kind of topic to be honest since i was a kid, because i rarely hear someone use this kind of topic in a conversation besides philosophical person. Whenever someone or a character started a conversation with that topic, i always love it because whenever you talk about things like that, there are no definite answer. There is no right or wrong. To you it might be right but to me it might be wrong. In the end "Right and wrong" is nothing more than that. And that gives me a feeling/sense of mystery, which is what this series has and the reason why i like it a lot. Even tho the rating is underrated in my opinion but i feel like the current rating is the right number to give such series. To give it more of a sense of loneliness and mystery. Thankyou for reading my review till the end.
