What does Un-Go means?, I cant speak english that well but that line doesn't make sense.isn' it?


Un-Go it's pronounced Ango, so it's a play of the original author's name, Ango Sakiguchi, who wrote the novel in which Un-Go takes it's premise.

Yeah let's forget the fact that the characters in this episodes were mostly singers.
Next up let's hate characters that play baseball in a baseball series.

While this episode was much better than the first episode, it still isn't compelling enough. And, again, what is with the killer's motivation? What a foolish reason to kill her own mother.

Of course, UN-GO is leaps and bounds above Guilty Crown, so that's something.

First time getting into criminal mysteries? Motives can be petty but so long as the criminal gains something from it can be seen as reason enough.

The singing during the sob scene was timed a bit badly in my opinion. This was an otherwise enjoyable episode that raises some questions about the main character and his companion.

This case was very heartwarming, but it still was kinda boring. Not enough thrill and suspense

I'm still not sure about this series. Inga is super-creepy, which is great, and I'm really interested in the main characters and the overall story, but I find the actual cases to be a bit strange so far. I thought the motive in the first ep was pretty unconvincing, and this one was even worse. I don't know what the show is trying to do, really.

Also:


I'll keep watching, I think, but for me the most interesting part is finding out about the history of the main duo and seeing how the political situation progresses. If the episodes keep on sticking to the same scheme (case, false suspect, Inga transforms, case solved, truth hushed up) and all we get are hints, and if the authorities keep on popping up just to hide the truth and add a sense of injustice without ever being developed, it would be disappointing indeed.

All this hate is stupid. People don't want to watch an anime they want a detective game so they can solve the mysteries. Throw a detective and the show has to be all about finding who commited the crimes. Ffs.

No, just think about it. I believe it's what the show aims for. Singing was Osada's raison d'etre and she did what she did. The episode just provided an unpretentious food for thought.

Hmm...A little better than the first episode but still needs a lot of work. The main characters seem too distant and remain complete strangers to the viewer and the supernatural staff doesn't really spice the story but rather makes it lose it's charm. Personally i find that freak just annoying.
Needs characters building, better based stories and mysteries that involve the viewer by giving him time, hints and staff to start making assumptions.

its like the Chairman actually created a "false truth" disregarding any connections w/ Osada An, he doesn't care even she's the killer or not, he doesn't want her to go into public, like how her song for Dol-pli expansion is banned for release. Her exposure, especially her voice might lead to the discovery of the true identity of Anzai Enri w/c is a major part of the government's propaganda during the war. With Yonagahime's songs having messages like "let's strike back against terrorism and let's dispatch a lot of troops", along with the group's sentiments of "having lost a member due to terrorism", their songs and the group are supported by the majority of the public and clearly enlighten the morale of the people of Japan during the war.
Revelations of the truth during such events in their post-war state could cause an uproar and disrupt their momentary peace.
The framed suspect, like Inga said might have been actually killed by them and did not committed suicide to instantly give closure to the case. He cannot deny and say anything cause he's dead now.,and basically Yonagahime's secret is protected still.
It just they didn't foresee Yuki inciting the release of Osada An's song for Dol-pli on the net.,w/c you can see the Chairman trying so hard to block.

he isn't a government employed detective, much like he is a freelance "for hire" one and what he says holds no water as long as the government doesn't want it much like how they stressed "Aramaki" to be the killer

I didnt read all the posts.. just some.. but i want to ask, so the real culprit always gets away or what? i mean in the first ep i thought they still would arrest the wife for killin the sp (which was d story they were gonna tell) but in the second we just see the girl alone near the fake grave and no one tells her anything or arrests her ... makes no sense - _ -

I thought it was interesting. I can see why some people may want the epsiodes to be two parters so there's more room to play but it still works as a one shot. The panda girl was certainly more aggressive an dcreepy in this ep though. I'm not sure what the deal is there. I thought the actual mystery wasn't too bad and reminiscent of Criminal Intent or something. I get why they call him the failed detective now though, everytime he solves something it gets repressed by the government and covered up with some bogus lies. I hope there's going to be an over arching story that deals with this since it seems like a pretty big deal....

The ending is god tier.

I don't understand why not just self publish there own music. The world structure doesn't make sense to me. So why not just crate an internet account or something. I mean there are tons of ways to get music out there. I mean seriously how old was that character, she could just go out an announce it because it is her voice and she was not informed that she would never be allowed to sing again.

The society...is screwed up. Corruption. Monopoly. A man controlling the country's say, economy, internet, law, politics, and even privacy. He is the law. He decides who is the murderer. That is why Shinjuurou is the "Defeated Detective": he is unable to win against the true evil, Kaishou Rinroku. All to prevent the identity of the Anzai Eri, all to prevent losing his power... 5/5

Just look. It is concrete evidence that "Anzai Eri" was but a farce and fake created by the mother, and proved by none other than your main duo. However, the police, including Kaishou (at the final scene) pretended knowing nothing despite watching first-hand, even dismissing the evidence as a "conspiracy", a "conspiracy" which the government made during the war to create a character for propaganda purposes as to fuel the Japanese into the futile war, and that is none other than you "Anzai Eri". If you don't call the societal state screwed, I have no other words to describe it. I feel sickening that people just dismiss this episode with 1/5 by viewing this detective show as your plain-old Conan. I might not give this 10 for now, but this episode really surprised me. Now I really want to know what is the state of Japan in the world. (as stated in this episode, even Japanese songs are "illegal" out there)

they want to cover up. The government is screwed, you see. And ironically, there is no government, no law. The law is Kaishou himself. I hope I can clear some doubts here~~~ (^_^)

Great show! Although the mystery moves too fast. Hey, but I'm not complaining. I've seen shows where it goes way too slow. *cough* blood-c *cough*. I'd take this any day over a show where a girl is walking down an empty street for over five minutes singing the same old song in every episode. And inga's transformation?....VAVAVOOOOM!

Post-war anime? I got no war and neither any post-war feeling about this. It just feels childish and juvenile, and yes, very cliche. The formula is more or less the same as the last one.

The thing I hate the most is the cat (?) boy, all sensational voice-acting, purposely weird body movements. He just reminds me of any any any other character in shounen who is made to be weird and unconventional so that maybe, he will get a niche support from fans.

How the hell can so many people like this show?
What the hell is wrong with people?
This is beyond "not feeling it" as some people are putting it. For some reason this show making me feel downright hate.

Also, the pacing is awful, the editing is terrible, the spindly character designs that look like Clamp meets a generic shounen artist are ugly, the characters are all completely unlikable, and the whole thing with covering up the actual murderers is just plain stupid.
