Siren Visual, one of the major distributors of anime within Australia recently announced their intention to not have a period of time without a noitaminA series under their belt and simulcast UN-GO which is due for release in Japan this anime season. As this series might be unknown to many viewers, they have just released an English subtitled trailer for which you can enjoy above. The following is a blurb about the series taken from their official release:
UN-GO (pronounced ‘ango’) is a detective story set in a futuristic, post-war Tokyo. The control of the media’s infrastructure is in the hands of Rinroku Kaishou and through his power he is able to influence Tokyo’s massive economy, from the political to the industrial arenas. A highly intelligent man, Rinroku has been able to solve a lot of mysteries himself through his own deductive reasoning, and with the vast information he has within his reach. But is he really acting alone?
In this day and age, classic detective work is seen as passé, the individual’s reasoning no match for modern technology. Shinjurou Yuuki, the ‘Last Great Detective’, is consequently known to the public these days as more of a failed detective. Despite this, Shinjurou has no choice but to follow his own intuition as it defines who he is. Working alongside him (and sometimes against him) is a young, sharp-witted cute kid named Inga. Despite both power and public perception, it is actually Shijurou and Inga’s passion that is solving the biggest cases out there…including the ones Kaishou is credited for.
