Un-Go (Anime) add

Recommended

"I want to love people. I want to know their beauty. And because of that, I expose souls."

First thing is first, if you are considering watching this, watch episode 0 first, Un-Go: Inga-ron

Un-Go is very unique in one sense. While it does fall into your sort of basic mystery show mold, that is not really what the show is about. Sure, the main character is a detective, but he is not doing this because he enjoys solving mysteries or anything, it is deeper. He is trying to get a glimpse into the souls of humans.

Story -8-: As stated above, this certainly falls into a ... mystery show mold, but as also stated that really is not the point of the show. The mystery really are not the cases themselves, but the people involved in the cases. With that said, if you want a really good detective show, you may be disappointed with this one. The story for the most part follows your usual episodic story where it is 1 case per episode, and the cases really do not have much to do with each other (this changes towards the end when it gets to the "big" mystery). I am really hesitant to say too much about the story because I fear this will just turn into a long analysis of the movie.

Sound/Art -9/8- Can we just take a minute here to appreciate how beautiful the ED for this show is? Anyway I loved the soundtrack to this show, I might honestly say this is my favorite OST that was not produced by Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop, Macross, GiTS Stand Alone). While most of the songs themselves are kind of basic, there are a few that stick out. Not only this, but they just go perfect with the show and fit seamlessly. Definitely take the time to listen to Fantasy and Light off the soundtrack even if you are not planning to watch the show.
When it comes to the animation is not really anything too special, but it is still beautiful. Some of the scenes with Inga just left a very pleasant taste in my mouth. I do not have much to say, but it is colorful when it needs to be, dark when it needs to be, and it is just overall good.

Character -7-: First off, I want to state while a 7 is not bad I did lower the score because I feel as a standalone series the character development is not too great for your 2 MCs. IF the OVA (Movie) was technically in the same series it would have been a 9. I am not going to write any specifics about the characters because their development and what you learn about them is part of the mystery to the show.

Overall I loved this series. If I was rating it purely on enjoyment it would be a 10. It is no where near to being the best anime I have seen, but it makes top 5 in ones I have loved. There is just something about this show that pulled me in and left me wanting for more.

School Days (Anime) add

So, before you even consider watching this I'll like to say a few things.
1. After about episode 3 this becomes a very frustrating show.
2. This is more of a Psychological, Slice of Life, Drama than a Romance. You are almost forced into disliking the main character.
2(a). With this in mind, if you want to watch a show along these lines, but don't want to be frustrated at it I recommend watching Clannad or maybe Angel Beats instead.
3. This show portrays almost the most extreme outcome from this sort of situation created, because of this it is very easy to predict.

Now ...
