This episode is basically a recap of the previous events in the series.
The episode starts with Moe apologising to Saikawa-sensei, and them both returning to their co-workers who were still camping on the island.

Saikawa-sensei wants to make the mature decision and leave the island ASAP; after all, the murderer is obviously still around somewhere. However, Moe is really curious about all these mysteries and is determined to stay and get to the bottom of it all.

When they return back to their camp, Saikawa-sensei goes off on his own to think.
Meanwhile, Moe talks with her co-workers, and demands some alcohol.
Although Moe is 20, in Japan the drinking age is 21, so they give her some 'non-alcoholic beer' instead. Despite the fact that this beer is supposedly non-alcoholic, for some reason she still gets tipsy.
I don't know how that works. The placebo effect?
Regardless, Moe gets a bit lightheaded and she explains the mystery to her co-workers.
Saikawa-sensei is contemplating the mystery by himself.

There are a few mysterious points that they dwell on:

- Why were Magata's legs cut off?
Her arms were probably cut off so that the killer could dress her in the wedding gown easier.
But why her legs?

- Did Magata and her split personalities really write the letters in the computer?
If she did write the letters, then it meant that she knew that she would die prior to these events.
If she didn't, then obviously the letters were fabricated by the killer.
But why??

 

And the biggest mystery of all--
The calendar day marked with "SUBETE GA F NI NARU".
(Everything becomes F)
What does this mean?
We just don't know.

On a less serious note, Saikawa-sensei is wearing a shirt with a pink whale on it.
It says 'whale' on it as well.

Why does he like self-explanatory shirts so much?
His previous shirt had a picture of bread with "bread" written on it too!
(And where can I buy these shirts!)

Also, half way through this episode Moe starts wearing what appears to be oven mitts.
Why is she wearing oven mitts?

To be honest these characters' fashion sense is just as mysterious as the actual murders!

The guy from the lab comes down and talks to Saikawa-sensei.
He wants the fact that Magata is dead to remain a secret until they finish the project they are working on, and in the meantime, Magata's little sister is going to take her place as manager.
He offers Saikawa-sensei some cash as compensation, but Saikawa-sensei wont' have it.
He doesn't want Magata's death to be a secret.
He makes it very clear that he's going to leave the island on the next boat tomorrow.

However, later on that night, Moe and Saikawa-sensei have a semi-heart to heart conversation,
And they both decide that they can't just leave things as they are.
So they're going to stick behind on the island to investigate the murders.
Despite the fact that they are a university student and lecturer.
And I'm pretty sure that doesn't bless you with the powers of Sherlock Holmes.

Or gives you the right to snoop around places you have no right to be.

Saikawa-sensei promises the lab guy that Magata's death will be kept quiet, if they are allowed to investigate the premises further.

When they take a look at the surveillance footage of when Magata's body exited the room, Moe notices that the elevator changes levels. This indicates that at the exact moment that Magata came out, someone had called the elevator onto the roof.

Lastly, we are given another flashback.
This one continues directly after the last one;
A young Magata gave her uncle a knife as a present.
And as expected in the previous episode- she expects him to kill her parents.
However, he hesitates a little, and Magata takes the initiative and kills her mother.
Together, they then kill her father.
And the creepy doll 'Michiru' is covered in blood.

I must say, despite the fact that she just murdered her parents,
the younger version of Magata is super adorable.

I can just tell that Moe and Saikawa-sensei are totally going to regret not leaving when they had the chance.
But alas, if they had left,

we wouldn't have an anime to watch!

I rate this episode 8.5/10

Episode Five: Silver Hope

http://static.zerochan.net/Subete.ga.F.ni.Naru.full.1931988.jpg

This episode was surprisingly uneventful.
We learn that the colour purple that Moe keeps mentioning is the colour of the clothes that she was wearing on the day her parents died. Moe has a dream about this day, and wakes up crying.
Saikawa-sensei comforts her in his weird way.

We learn a bit more about Magata's different personalities.
We learn that Kishio is a personality based on Magata's twin brother who died soon after birth.

The second personality, Suma, is based on Magata's favorite maid when she stayed in America- this maid, like Kishio, is deceased.

Her third personality is "Michiru".

Which, if you remember, is the same name as the robot.
We learn that Michiru is 'the doll'- and possibly a representation of Magata's physical self.

It's pretty interesting if you consider the popular idea that porcelain dolls can be possessed by ghosts.
If Magata herself is the doll, then it makes sense for her body to inhabit multiple 'souls'.

We learn in this episode that a boat is supposedly due to come the following day, so everyone will be saved. Haha. I'll believe it when I see it.
There's way too many episodes left for that to be true.

 

On a side note, Saikawa-sensei has a t-shirt with a picture of a piece of bread on it.
Bread is fashion nowadays, people.

We see a flashback of a younger Magata buying a hunting knife- presumably the one that her parents end up being stabbed by. She gives it to her uncle as a birthday present, telling him that he can now 'free himself from the things that tie him down'.
I'm not sure whether she meant 'hey you can kill everyone with this knife' or 'hey you can live off the land like you always wanted if you use this knife'.

Maybe she meant both.

Once again, I am eagerly awaiting the next episode!
I rate this episode 8/10.
Because although it was a pretty slow episode, it still had a lot of nice ideas slotted into it.

Episode Four: The Rainbow-Colored Past

http://isys100tvseries.blogspot.com.au/2016/05/subete-ga-f-ni-naru-perfect-insider_8.html

In the last episode, they found that guy dead inside the helicopter.

This episode continues directly after that.
Moe seems to be freaking out a bit, and they conclude that the murderer must still be inside the facility somewhere.
Moe goes to investigate the body of Magata once more - which is really creepily staring back at her - and Saikawa-sensei pulls Moe away from it.
I concur. People should not be staring into the eyes of corpses.

That normally doesn't end well for the sanity of the person staring.

Moe makes a comment about the colour purple; and how it is important.
I have no idea what she's on about.
Maybe she is losing her mind already.

The other people in the facility are starting to lose their cool as well.

They all decide to open up Magata's room so that they can look for clues inside.
(Like maybe.. Magata's limbs.)

It's the first time anyone has entered the room since Magata was locked in there 15 years ago.
It turns out to have more of an apartment feel- it has multiple rooms inside.
They find the layout a bit weird; there's a small room with a window looking in - which suggests that the building was built with the idea that Magata would have guests.
Which we know didn't happen according to the security cameras.
There's also two chairs at the dining table - why would she need two??

I must say, her room is surprisingly clean for someone who hasn't left it in 15 years.
I only spend a few hours in my room everyday and it's already a mess!

They get to the last part of the apartment/rooms/thing
Which is Magata's bedroom.
They go to open the door and..... it's locked.
From the inside.
They knock on it, and they hear Magata's voice coming from inside.
When they eventually open the door, they find a cute little robot named Michiru.
It's a robot that Magata built in her spare time, it would seem.
Magata's bedroom also has a lot of lego blocks.
Because everyone knows if you're bored, you just need lego!

Since Magata's room is spotless, Saikawa-sensei and Moe conclude that the killer must have cleaned up after themselves; in other words, they must have spent a decent amount of time inside the room.
They hypothesize that Magata's arms and legs were cut up and thrown down the garbage chute.

They then go to Magata's awesome looking computer, and they turn it on.
They realise that the computer is running Red Magic version 6;
The rest of the lab is running version 4.

On the calendar, yesterday's date is marked- with the message
"Subete ga F ni naru"
Which is the title of this anime, and roughly translates to
"Everything becomes F".

They find a word document containing messages supposedly from Magata-
We also learn that Magata has multiple personalities.
The notes she left are kind of confusing due to this, however she writes things like
"Red magic version 6 is my last present to you",
"I don't want to have to leave Michiru, but there's something I have to do."
Saikawa-sensei and Moe consider whether the killer wrote these messages.

Lastly,
We see another flashback of Magata when she was 13.
This time, she's in the shower, talking to her separate personalities.


Well,
That was interesting.
The characters in this anime keep getting more and more detailed!
I approve!
Once again, I look forward to the next episode!
I give this one an 8.5/10!

Episode Three: Red Magic

Image from: http://static.zerochan.net/Subete.ga.F.ni.Naru.full.1931996.jpg

 

Well, this episode is where things start to take off.

We learn immediately that the creepy 'doll' from the end of the last episode isn't even a doll at all;

It's the corpse of Migata.

She's dressed in a wedding dress, her legs and arms cut off.

The people of the facility automatically assume that the murderer must still be inside the room.
But here's where it gets interesting.

This is a room that has been closely monitored for 15 years- No one has left or entered it.

As far as everyone is aware, there is only one entrance.

So how did the murderer enter?
And how did they leave?

This is a mystery.

They go to contact the police, but of course all the communication systems aren't working.

We find out that the system runs on it's own operating system called "Red Magic".

We also learn that the inability to contact the outside world isn't just a bug; it's something someone must have specifically coded into the system to happen on a certain time and date.
In other words, this has been planned for yonks.

The director of the facility returns with Magata's younger sister Miki;

Miki is a lot more mature and looks older than her sister.

They send the director (who arrived via helicopter) to use the radio to contact the police, however later on they return to find him murdered.

 

Lastly, in this episode, we learn of something.... else.

Throughout all the episodes, we have seen flashbacks of a 13 year old Magata, with her uncle.

Being the genius that Magata is, her mannerisms are a lot more adult-like than childish.

 

In this episode, we learn that Magata may have been taken advantage of by her uncle. 

The room puzzle is an interesting one; I look forward to seeing it's conclusion.

My gut is telling me that it is in fact all somehow a ruse by Magata herself.

We shall see, I guess.

I rate this episode 8/10.

Episode Two: Azure Encounter

The second episode of Subete ga F ni naru elaborates more on a couple of the characters.
We learn that Moe is an orphan of a rich family, and has basically zero life skills.

We also learn of Magata's 'little sister', and we learn that Magata hasn't left her room for 15 years; although not by choice. 

Right off the bat, the same issue I had with episode one -- The cars.

The cars are ridiculous.

Let's hope they don't feature many cars in this anime.

In this episode, Saikawa-sensei, Moe and the crew head over to Magata's island- we learn that the island doesn't normally have boats leading to or from the island. Which is to be expected, considering I somehow doubt all of the side characters are going to survive this adventure. It would be no fun if they weren't stuck on the island! The island also has no cell phone reception!

Huzzah! The perfect situation to get everyone killed!

We also learn that Magata's research facility is basically run 100% by an artificial intelligence system called "Margaret". This is probably going to cause issues in the future, as even the doors are run through this system. Yet another way for people to be trapped here and die!

In the last few minutes of the episode, the lights inside the facility start to flash, and the door that normally keeps Magata inside, opens up.

A 'doll' then creepily slides out and starts to go down the hallway.

I'm very curious as to where this anime is going ahaha.

At any moment I can imagine people dying, but at the same time, no one has died yet.

The suspense is intense!

I rate this episode 7/10

Episode One: A White Meeting

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!
