----------------------------------------
Blue hair guy with glasses (the novelist)... is he voiced by KajiKaji!! He handed a book, with the long paper code. the AI analyzing.

The code is simple... meet at usual place?

The wife cannot see when the kids are missing and the memory is blurred. Suspecting she's with another guy?

Bookstore.., then books on old "detective" with the simple codes (Codes game by the kids to not let mother worry). He found the kids, and put in safe with the police.

Miyu-Miyu's character didn't talk at all this ep.

Another girl? behind the novelist staying the jail. He said he chose him as his detective?

Next week will be 24:55, becoming earlier but a bit later than original time (24:50). Seems like they are taking film?

This must be the best episode yet for the mystery heightening and sadness it brings. Particularly at following,

While the explanation for in the spoiler
constantly invokes THE RAGE! Because innocent victims of war are always innocent no matter how you look at it. Sad world really with the notion of war. I do T_T at Takako for victims always deserve them especially since it happened while she was looking for her kids. More later.

SO INTERESTING! I don't like Un-Go so far, but this episode TOTALLY changed my opinion!
Loved the mystery; more reasonable than all the others. Crazy interesting twist at the end!
Amazing episode.
5/5 - :D I CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE!

My original score for Un-Go was 7, but if it continues like this, it deserves an 8 or even a 9 depending on how awesome it is :)

The guy who voices that new guy with glasses is the same one as Shion from No. 6!! And Ko-chan from Hanasaku Iroha.. :3 And a bunch of other people I can't think of right now xD.

I had a good feeling about this anime and now it is paying off. Un-Go somehow beat the odds to become my favorite anime this season.

What was the deal with the counterfeit books? I don't get it. Was it faked by the author so that the critic would take the book to the detective and that his skills would make the critic get the wrong idea and kill his wife? What is the author's motivation?

Another question. Did the wife die or was she narrowly saved?

I love how Rinroku is practically an anthropomorphism of "Deus ex Machina".

Dude, wow. Just wow. That ending... although I'm not sure if I like having a main plot/villain like that... Well played. Just well played.

I also liked how this mystery had less of a focus on murder and instead code breaking and such. Made for a nice break from the typical murderer.

Also, I knew this week's episode would be important because of this, but I never expected something as surprising as that.

Man, that ending...

EDIT:
Oh, and that colored pencil scene. Inga's so awesome. Kazamori too for that matter, but Inga's reactions are just great.

So this series is only going to be 11 episodes which means he have now seen more than 50% of the series. And I must say that I am a little disappointed, but not because I think it's bad. In fact it is for the opposite reason that I am saddened, this is a good anime, nay great anime, or at least it has the makings of one. The characters alone are poignant, unique, incredibly dynamic, and they interact well with each other by drawing attention to their presence, while not stealing it away from the other. However this excellent character design is not uniform through the series, for example the daughter possesses the components to become an interesting character, one that we can relate with, but this potential is not exercised and so her character is left wanting. The other example is the police chief who's character is flaccid and non-intriguing. I have no desire to know anything about her character, although I think she will play a more pivotal role in the next story.

This show also has some badass music that I feel is wasted on 11 episodes. And along with the music is the animation quality, which while it is no Guilty Crown, is fluid and stimulating and more so than expected.

The final negative is that these stories all stop shy of any epiphany. I got plot line blue balls, because they almost make it mega interesting, but stop short and just go for the easy solution.

Anyways in the end, this should have had 26 episodes with character and antagonists established by now, if not next episode.

I LOL'ed when the old guy asked Shinjuuro if he slept with the RAI. orz so blunt. Kazamori's pretty awesome though. So funny when he/it seems to get tired of all the requests. "I'm not a GPS, you know!"

Well that bumped my score for this series up another notch....

Here I was totally sucked into the whole book/code/children mystery and then just when it was solved, Wham! the novelist reappears and I realize that I've totally forgotten about that character and suddenly the whole point of the episode is the meeting between Shinjuurou and him.

And for what it is worth, I still totally think that Kaishou was sleeping with the professor's wife--whether he saved the children or not. We also got another view of the creepy police state that underlies society here. This just keeps getting better and better...
Please don't feed the trolls!

Kaishou was sleeping with the professor's wife, tthen he got tire of it. The wife became lonely and neglect the children. When she realised what happened she felt guity about her husband and children. She commit suicide bt failed. For other things, Kaishou had arranged them well into a happy ending. The truth is what people accept and believe in. Sometimes it better that way.

So she didn't actually killed the kids but she sad sorry.
I don't even get what's about kids trying to hide and kidnapped ? ??

I'm like dreaming when watching it.

The overall mood of the series is good so far. This is starting to get interesting.

However, the rival/counterpart was to be expected. Of course there is a counterpart to Inga lol.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

also I thought this episode was pretty good... but the ending felt a little rushed. This is an 11ep series though, so, I guess things are going to feel a little rushed.

Indeed he has all to be the big bad wolf of the series but now we have Crazy Novelist with his own souls sucker this is going to get interesting,lets see how Bones end this only 5 more episodes + episode 0.

Also Kazamori is cute as hell.

I kind of took him for a big bad from episode one.. Though I remain unsure if he is THE big bad.. Who knows..

As for this story , Husband goes to prison - the wife cheats on her husband because shes lonely , the children get neglected after mr fact changer stops 'seeing' her she then blames her self for the children going missing and betrayal of her husband? And Brick to face. - The kids are safe but.. That family needs a lot of work~ At least the guy got his kids back.. And our Detective avoided the bad end.. barely.

So whos the big bad.. The Novelist.. The Computer Fact changer.. I wonder one the other or maybe both.. I wouldnt mind seeing them both go down frankly. And Rie seems to be siding more and more with out protagonist. Hopefully that continues.

I agree that kaishou isn't exactly a good guy, and he might well end up as the big bad, but I kinda see him more as a neutral character. I think it's better, and fits in with the setting, post-terrorism, nanny state etc. I would like it if they keep him as someone who is morally ambiguous, and don't make too many judgement calls on him. It's always interesting to have someone like him, an evil authority figure, but he is actually working for the good of the state from his perspective. Blah.

Him being the boss could be good, but a bits awks between Rie and Shinjurou.

I hope there'll be a second season.
