Subete ga F ni naru: The Perfect Insider is a psychological mystery anime released in late 2015.

"Genius programmer Shiki Magata has been living in isolation at a research facility on a solitary island since she was a girl. Nagono University associate professor Souhei Saikawa and Moe Nishinosono wish to meet Shiki in person, so they visit the facility but get caught up in a murderous game." - Summary from animeshow.tv

 

The first episode is pretty simple; with not much action in it at all, however it manages
to build up a nice amount of mystery and tension for future episodes.

Let's start off with the opening.

The opening to an anime is very important.
It should be a song that fans can easily recognize, sing along to, and the opening should look like something made this year. After all, depending on the anime, you could be watching this up to 26 times.
(This is especially important when you're watching the entire season at once.)

At first glance, the opening to Subete ga F ni naru is amazing.

I could be biased, since the music is done by the great singers KANA-BOON, but the opening really is something to look at.

The opening uses some type of animated interpretive dance, it would seem!

It's very hard to explain, so instead, take a look yourself!

I promise you won't be bored!

In the first episode, we meet the famous scientist Saikawa-sensei, along with his assistant Moe.

As was demonstrated in the opening, one of this anime's good points is the effort it puts into animation. Multiple times throughout the episode, I noticed people fiddling with their clothes, blowing into hot tea, and so on. It might sound simple, but it's actually really endearing to see these minute human actions being portrayed, even though they are unnecessary to the plot.

There are quite a few comedic moments as a part of this as well; there's a particular scene where Saikawa-sensei attempts to put eyedrops in his eyes - and fails miserably. This is really funny in comparison to the many anime that have characters using eyedrops as 'fake tears'.

 

The first thing that I noticed that was 'off' about this anime were the cars.

The cars seem to be made with 3d models instead of being animated like the rest of the characters, and they are way too shiny. 

However, the relationship between Saikawa-sensei and Moe is amazing.

Right from the start of the episode, you can immediately tell that the two of them have a pretty close relationship. Moe understands and picks up on Saikawa-sensei's habits; she knows when he's in a bad mood because of his eating and drinking habits. Saikawa-sensei also quickly picks up on when Moe is annoyed or upset, without her even saying anything. It's really cute to see such a close relationship right off the bat. It sets up some really likeable characters.

So, we have a mysterious scientist, Shiki Magata, who lives on an isolated island. We learn in this episode that she's rumoured to have murdered her parents in cold blood. However, when Moe asks her about this, she says that 'A doll killed my parents.'

This is interesting and makes me curious for future episodes. Did she actually kill her parents? Can she be trusted? Is there some haunted doll or something?
We have no idea yet!

The episode ends with Moe, Saikawa-sensei and a few friends heading over to Shiki's island for a company holiday.

If the synopsis is correct, this means that the worst is yet to come!
I'm terrified and excited at the same time!!

All in all, the first episode shows that the anime is of quality and the plot is intriguing.

For now, I give it a 8/10!
