A quick and easy review of Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider. SPOILER FREE for your enjoyment.
PROS:
+ Pleasant, detailed animation; an interesting and fitting color scheme.
+ Enjoyable sound track, with a great OP and ED
+ Nice voice acting
CONS:
- "Mystery" is predictable (At least for someone who has watched a lot of TV. By episode 5 it was pretty clear to me, yet it takes a VERY SLOW five episodes more for the characters to put it together).
- Little characterization leads to one-dimensional characters (i.e., the "young and in love," the "suave man of intellect," the "unfeeling genius," etc.)
- Slow plot progression (I normally don't mind this; many murder mysteries seem slow as you gather the details that lead to the big reveal or twist, but even taking this into account, Perfect Insider lagged too much)
OVERALL:
If you're a fan of mysteries and don't mind a slow plot, give it a go. Because it's only 11 episodes, it doesn't take much time to complete. (But if, by episode 5, you think you have everything figured out, you're probably right.)
