Sooo somehow the novelist broke Shinjurou and now he's been imprisoned in the same asylum. And actually reading through a post on here, I like the idea that the novelist's youkai is capable of creating truth, as a contrast to Inga who will pull the truth out of you. Also goes with Kaishou last episode talking about multiple truths and how there isn't one absolute truth.

And I guess that would mean that he's visualizing these fantasies in his mind, which would explain why everything seems so surreal.

It would also explain the fact that he's in a movie with 3 half-naked hotties in it, and that whole part with the sexual innuendos and war.

It will be interesting to see where this goes though.

Very confusing yet probably the most interesting episode so far.

So Yuuki is in a delusion state and it involves his past with Inga probably.

Can't wait how will this turn out.

the box isnt real, its a hologram, he can walk through it, it has no physical substance, since theres nothing in that spot in his room

So I'm assuming the novelist's own Inga has the ability to mess with people's minds (or souls)? And the police waiting outside the facility has been brainwashed too? o.O

Confusing, but definitely the most interesting episode so far. I think now I can actually look forward to the next episodes instead of dragging myself to watch them. There had better be a good reason for the awful first five episodes though.

i really dont see how people can say the older episodes are "awful" i can understand meh and all that but awful should be reserved for stuff like anything but the last 5 min of school days or mars of destruction

I've never been so confused in my life.... But after that weird ass drug trip I was kind of amused.

1. The guys limbs just explode off of him when he's hit by the ghost car/train thing.
2. There is an obvious lack of blood.


The lack of Inga made me sad though :(

How it seems to me is that the guy from the beginning put him in a sort of trance and made him experience a story that has happened before, if it's not that then I don't know what's going on. Not that I totally get everything anyway, but that's probably going to be solved next episode.

This episode is really interesting he's captured in an unreal world made up by that novelist, really interesting also the leaning and stuff that conflicts in his world to the real world is rather interesting!

Really loved this episode really interesting in general!

denied on that handshake. sounds like an awful moving about a guy banging 3 chicks and disappearing unless its a porn. So im guessing this is all in his head and the novel guy put some voodoo on him. also the talk off giving a bj to war made me laugh.

Wth just happened. I assume it is an alterred reality by the novelist in jail and rest was just.. Weird.

Maybe it is some sort of memory or whatever and the next episode will explain it all?

At least barely any inga and i dont like her so :) thats good

This headf@ck is way beyond my expectation when I watched ep 1.
When the 3 actresses discuss the ending of the film, this quiet music was playing which distinctly reminds me of David Lynch.

The theme is so complex, I will have to rewatch. Of course there's Ango reflecting on the war, put in a little more ideas ab fiction, narration, quest for truth... I'm lost.

I'm thinking the novelist is stand-in for Ango himself, and the characters are subject to Ango's will and control. I'm getting Princess Tutu vibe here, how Shinjurou will react to the Novelist character first, and then his creator Sakaguchi Ango himself.

Still, I wonder how someone like Mizushima who did a total trainwreck such as Gundam 00 can now direct a masterpiece like UN-GO ? It makes absolutely no sense (except in that he has almost complete freedom over his series now and the script is obviously far better).


You can see he is still a trainwreck.
First, the novel is Ango's, the script adapted and changing setting but the meat and mindf@ck is still there. (though I think of Aoi Bungaku and how they totally fcked up the Ango's story)

Second, this episode is DRAB. Better directors would make this moooore atmospheric and stylish and dreamy. This episode's theme almost guarantees it to be the most visually appealing and trippy one, yet it's ugly. The guy only knows style means more action and fighting.

So the preview in episode 6 was the equivalent of a clickbait.
"It's about the war", actually it's about a movie about the war.

Also pretty confusing and if everything turns out to be an illusion, that's quite surprising to devote more than one whole episode of a 11 episode anime on what's basically super filler.
Not a good episode either.
