I know this has nothing to do with the episode, but it's nice to see the Novelist get some punishment from Inga.  Kaisho mystery! I have been waiting for an episode like this ever since I started to dislike Kaisho a few episodes in. After last week's magic heavy method of setting up mysteries, this week's episode is my favorite so far in the sense of the mystery. Although there was a lot of

Episode 09 - With Un-go drawing to a close (two episodes remaining), it looks like Bones plans on going out with a “Bang”. Or at least, this arc has a ton of potential at being a great mystery. The mystery here is a bit too reliant on Bettenou’s ability to skew reality, but that also [...]

Ninth episode of curiously cute series Un-Go brings another explosive mystery for viewers to perplex over - making little sense in the least to anyone save for our sharp minded great detective Shinjurou.

And with this, we’ve pretty much abandoned the episodic nature of this series and are heading off to the finale where everything will come together, even though we’ve still got to wait for the preview movie to explain everyone’s backgrounds. There is some serious potential for the ending of this series. At this point we [...]

The novelist of the previous story arc's plans might have been put to a halt, but the catalyst for his "work", the mysterious Bettenou is still at large - a point which worries Shinjurou and also becomes a major focus of this new multi-part arc. We being by focusing our attentions on a group known as Full Circle - a mysterious collection of hackers and crackers with a penchant for posting

Un-GO OP Single, “How to go” by school food punishment SCHOOL FOOD PUNISHMENT! Another one of my favourite bands and after the C Single, they are back with Un-Go this time. Music wise at least this series has given tough time to the rest of the Fall series because both the OP and ED Singles [...]

Oono and Bettenou, another wacky cult. I had to batch the two episodes together because I was in such a "WTF" state of mind last week that I couldn't bring myself to post anything that would have made sense. So far I have been very satisfied with each episode, however after watching the latest mystery unfold over the last two episodes, I fell like Un-Go might be heading in the wrong

As series that deal with episodic episodes can either be hit or miss, this episode continues the story from from the last two weeks, as Shinjuro ends up going to jail to solve the mystery of the director. As Inga has been missing in action for the last two weeks, I thought that his antics [...]

DAT FACE. HOLY CRAP. This episode was hilarious and fabulous. I have no words. I think most blogs have said everything that needs to be said about this episode, so allow me to gush senselessly about how awesome this episode … Continue reading →

Eighth episode of a series surrounding serious stories, mysteries, and moe, Un-Go, is a complicated one as it encircles an outcome anticipated - yet in a manner more so puzzling than even the original problem itself.

Episode 08 - Phew, Un-go is really turning out to be quite the gem of a series. Last week’s episode was probably the first that was genuinely baffling, and while keeping that in perspective, the conclusion was handled quite well. The supernatural twist is probably what made it so puzzling in the first place, And [...]

Yet another amazing episode. Last week gave us one heck of a mystery, and this week did a terrific job of playing with it. From the start it was clear that this was some sort of illusion, but the how and why were what made it interesting. I love how the start of this episode [...]

Having been thrown into a world that was more than a little surreal last week, is there any hope of escape for Shinjurou as he finds himself as the prime suspect in a murder case which has a decidedly odd feeling to it? Of course, with his master (or should that be servant?) missing, Inga soon finds himself inundated with problems of his own, while even Kazamori's technical capabilities can do

As series that deal with episodic episodes can either be hit or miss, this episode continues the story from last week with Shinjuro ending up being arrested at the end of this episode. As Inga is Shinjuro’s buddy in crime, I thought it was interesting to have Inga on the sidelines in this episode, as [...]

Undoubtedly the strangest Un-Go episode yet, Daydream feels like a Hitchcockian psychological thriller mixed with the dream-like qualities of a Murakami narrative. The difference though, is that I think it felt very raw. A little rough around the edges. That isn’t … Continue reading →

Episode 7 of Un-Go continues from the introduction of the “novelist” who writes stories in reality. The great detective, Shinjurou Yuuki, has been selected to play a part in his next story. As the detective, he must reveal the identity of the murderer, no matter how difficult the consequences. In the process, this episode picks [...]

Episode 07 - I have to say, this episode felt sort of surreal. At least, it’s definitely thrown the show into a rather interesting direction, where I’d like to say that this is the first mystery of this show that’s gotten me genuinely baffled. This episode throws us straight into the middle of a completely [...]
