One of the most interesting anime out there. The complexity and deep lore are remarkable, touching on mature subjects like the nature of humanity, how the brain works, and the meaning of life and death. This anime is truly seinen—made for adults with a personality that enjoys thinking, analyzing, and searching for meaning.
I really liked the character Saikawa, and Magata was written with near perfection. Maybe it’s because I’m into this kind of work, but I genuinely enjoyed it. Even the soundtrack stood out—it was so good that it helped me focus even more on the story. The anime, The Perfect Insider, really lives up to its name.
The only thing I wished for was a slower or darker opening/ending to better fit the overall atmosphere. And if someone rates it poorly, that doesn’t mean it’s a…

Murder mystery case drowned under meaningless ramblings, stuffed with characters that have no motivations.
The story is completely nonsensical since the beginning, hence the logic and common sense were taken away from the characters to divert the attention from the case. Couldn't they at least inspect the corpse of the victim?
"Philosophical" monologues, self-praises for the thrice in a generation geniuses, eureka moments coming from hints never shown, and garbage romance drama... This is just bad.
I can't care less about the controversy over immoral/illicit actions or scenes that reviewers usually praise as brave or condemn as disgusting, because it's a fictional story like everything else.

Subete ga F ni Naru is contemporary psychological mystery anime that invites you to think along, while never quite fully explaining itself. It touches on some rather sensitive and disturbing romance and sex themes, as well as exploring the workings of the human mind in a more philosophical sense.
Animation / Art / General Visuals - 8/10
-----------------------------------------------
The setting of the show really doesn't leave much room for art or animation to shine, but for this type of show, it looks perfectly acceptable. The character designs and detail is solid, environments sufficiently detailed, and animations clear enough to get emotions across.
Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 9/10

Some beautiful classical pieces and top notch voice a…

After passing it over at least half a dozen times while deciding which anime to watch, my wife and I finally gave The Perfect Insider a go and if nothing else it was certainly unique and didn't feel overly like any other anime we've seen. At just 11 episodes it's a fast, approachable program, though it somehow manages to feel like it doesn't truly even have enough content to fill that very short run time, and it certainly loses steam towards the end as well, leaving us with an overall mixed bag that I'll now discuss with a bit more detail.
From the very beginning the program treads the fine line of delving into philosophical territory and staying focused on the matter at hand. It repeatedly asks questions along the lines of "What is the meaning of true freedom?" and "What does it mean to…

How about just dont watch this anime for your own sake someone recommended this anime was like "Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru" but boy were they wrong... the plot sucked so bad that i had to warn people not to watch. This anime will get ur head scratching wtf is going... The two protagonists are somehow shut in a closed room case you would think it would be full of suspense and action but instead u get them siting on coaches talking trash with each other for God knows what reason. The mystery of the case just unfolds by itself and in the end you as a viewer just get disturbed and confused whether the anime is confused or is it you, with no explanation what the hell was the purpose of it all. Then youd think the animation would be great with anime that has score of 6 bu…

It's very odd witnessing shows to the likes of Subete ga F ni Naru... intentionally sterile shows. Very sterile. It feels more like reading a book than watching an anime, and not a good one at that. Subete ga F ni Naru is clearly focused on delivering one murder mystery, that of a person and their interpretation of the world. Thus, its objective should be non other than to invoke the gears inside your mind; to make you think, make you ask, and when you find the answer, make you stand in awe at the view. As to how much this anime succeeded in that -- that is to say, how intellectually stimulating it managed to be, even with its philosophically engaging dialogue -- is to me, arguable.
For once, you can spot the pseudo-intellectualism. To the writer, having characters solve stupidly hard mat…

I even forgot about the topic because I started watching it randomly. Although the answer is clear from the beginning in mystery genre anime, there were parts of it that I did not understand until the end. Although the explanations of the crime come quickly, you can understand better by reading the comments. I liked the philosophy and thought of the character we call "villain". People generally thought it was psychopathic and ridiculous. However, I think the professor and the criminal character were very well written characters. On the other hand, I felt like there was a forced romance, the main character girl was very annoying. Although it reminds me of the main character in psycho-pass, I think this girl's behaviours were more disturbing.
Btw, you can also find meaningful quotes.

I will come out and say this. Seriously underrated work. Deserves at least an 8.5 rating. If you like crime solving and some philosophical theme this is of your taste. I usually skim through the videos and determine whether to watch an anime or not. I think after seeing this i would change my POV. Eventhough it is quite good it is not really the type of anime you want to watch again and again. But still for a single time it really is fun and we wont feel like we wasted our time watching this. So i recommend this anime to those who like complex plots and note here that the story progresses quite slowly despite only having 11 episodes.

I may be to late too write a review of this series, but, honestly speaking, i think this show is underrated. Here's my opinion as of what makes this series good,
At first glance, from the start, at episode 1, it's hard to tell that this show is going to be a locked room murder mystery, because they emphasized the character a lot at the beginning as of "Who are they ?" and "What are their role in this story ?", Their backstory, relationship, etc. If you didn't read the synopsis before watching this series then you would probably left wondering, what is this series going to be in the future episode after watching the very first episode.
When you look at in in a bigger scale, the premise is pretty simple actually. It's about a murder mystery, where it happened inside a room that no one went…

I don't write reviews often, but Subete ga F ni Naru is one of the most brilliant anime that I have watched. I won't write much about the story but I'll just expand on why I think it is really extraordinary without spoiling much content.
On the surface, this seems like a sub-par mystery anime involving a smart detective solving a hard case. But it will definitely surprise many of you. The story slowly reveals itself through many clues dropped throughout every episode. Moreover, it takes a long time to analyze information that is given along with many twists in the story. The final few episodes was really intense as the story unravels itself after the buildup.
One of my favorite quote in this anime is "when everything becomes F."
In conclusion, if you really enjoy mystery / sci-fi ani…

"There is no perfect answer. But continuing to seek one is very important."
Subete ga F ni Naru ( The Perfect Insider ) is a proper mystery anime that actually knows what it's doing. It is a well structured murder mystery, so good that regardless of the fact that you found out who the perpetrator was it'll still be an imperfect answer.
It's very hard to get into this series unless you love mystery or you come here expecting a full mysterical ( yes I made this word up ) experience. This anime is nothing but mysteries.
10 Sherlock Holmes Smoking Pipe out of 10. A very, very good mystery anime. I recommend this to everybody who loves or are looking for a mystery anime. This will no doubt fulfill your need.

I had been looking forward to a dark and gripping mystery since episode two but was deeply disapppointed. Perfect Insider has so much wasted potential due to two big issues: lacklustre character development and trying to be too many things at once. Let's talk about the former first.
I know this is an adaptation of a novel but since I haven't read any of it my review will be based purely on the anime itself. First of all, I couldn't help thinking throughout the whole show how much better it would be if they had just gotten rid of Nishinosono. Her only purpose is to contrast the main character, who finds it a need, for some reason, to blatantly remind us all the time. Other than that she's just an empty shell for him to verbalize his worldviews and philosophies to.
Secondly, how can the pr…

Review in English!
Review in Portuguese!
The conception of this anime is very interesting: to solve a mystery through logic and, mainly, introspection. It doesn't seem anything out of the ordinary of the mystery genre, does it? Well, in Subete ga F ni Naru, mystery is not its reason for existence, but the attention and internal reflection on what happens there. It's about freeing the mind from limits or conventions to understand a situation that is beyond what seems to be happening. Don't worry, this is not exactly a spoiler. I just want to say that you have to watch this anime with a slightly different point of view than usual. And that differential is a strong point of the anime.
The anime plot is magnificent. The succession of events takes us by surprise several times. With each epis…

It's been about a month and a half since I finished this show, and yet, I'm still pissed at how bad it was. As such, it's time for my first non-seasonal review in like half a year.
What are the key components of a good murder mystery? First, and quite obviously, is the mystery itself. The mystery has to be clever, in such a way that the solution is unexpected, yet logical. The viewer also has to have adequate engagement with the story and be able to figure out the mystery for himself. Secondly, and also quite obviously, there is the investigation. The detective looks for clues, talks to witnesses, and pieces together the final picture, all while providing the same information to the viewer. And lastly, there has to be suspense. The viewer has to be invested in the story. If there is no su…

I absolutely loved this anime. Everything about it enchanted me from the very beginning; from the main character, Nishinosono, to the mystery lurking at the core of it all, to the eerie feel that the whole series has. You'll remain in awe of the characters' sheer mental brilliance from the beginning to the end, and you'll come to understand Nishinosono more than you understand yourself. The show makes it so very clear to its audience what the motivations of each character are, in its own time. If you're confused, just keep watching: everything will be revealed eventually, and what isn't is barely enough to tantalize you.
It is, I believe, a psychological horror, and if you like that genre, you can't go wrong with Subete ga F ni Naru. Beware of some blood, though.

*2nd Review so don't expect it to be great*
My sole reason for giving this a 7 is because I liked the mystery in it other than that the characters specially the main antagonist(in a way) had the most dull and retarded character I have seen in ages. So let's just get to this.
*Review will have spoilers* Simply because I can't tell what I like and dislike about the show without spoiling it a bit.
First start with the story, Magata Shiki is a genius programmer who has lived her life on a Island and doesn't meet any guests or anyone so basically a shut in and one day when Two MC arrived on the Island and went to that Facility to actually meet Dr.Magata but ended up investigating two murder cases which happened just when they were about to meet Dr.Magata. That's it for the plot. It turns the…

The whole time I was watching Subete ga F ni naru, I felt nothing but awe. The perfect insider fits its name perfectly. In its own way, it's flawless. I've always liked psychological and mystery themed plots cause it always makes me think. It triggers deep thinking that perhaps my brain slyly enjoys. And this anime, it's one of those.
The animation is splendid but then I was never really that attentive on such. Personally, It's beautiful. I've always loved the ocean and it was shown in the story for a couple of times. The concept was impressive as well. It was well thought too. Since I've seen quite a few of the psychological anime, I've observed that some anime tries to appear to be intellectual that it comes to a point that it tries to mimic other elements from the other anime. It's inde…

Story 5/10
If I had to summarize this series in one word I would say "over-complicated". Sure, I like wild stories in mystery series as much of the next guy but The Perfect Insider takes it to a new level of unanswered questions and out-there theories that the main character just **suddenly realizes** with very limited investigation. If I had to describe it in another word, I would add "frustrating". The mystery begins in episode 2 (or 3?) and they don't do any actual investigation until episode seven. Everything up until then is a lazy romance plot that is very lackluster and a lot of repetition of stuff the audience already knows. Numerous scenes where they just repeat "What did he mean when he said that?" and "How did they get in and out of the room?" and "What does F stand for" but th…
