Subete ga F ni Naru

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.

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

How about just dont watch this anime for your own sake someone recommended this anime was like "Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru" but boy were they wrong... the plot sucked so bad that i had to warn people not to watch. This anime will get ur head scratching wtf is going... The two protagonists are somehow shut in a closed room case you would think it would be full of suspense and action but instead u get them siting on coaches talking trash with each other for God knows what reason. The mystery of the case just unfolds by itself and in ... the end you as a viewer just get disturbed and confused whether the anime is confused or is it you, with no explanation what the hell was the purpose of it all. Then youd think the animation would be great with anime that has score of 6 but hell i have never seen such bad animation in mylife... My only regret is why did i watch it in the first place...
