UN-GO is a story about the private investigator named Yuuki Shinjuurou, who is working on various crime-cases, trying to find the truth and only the truth. Although it is what his name suggests (Shinjuurou vs. Shinjitsu), his original role in life hasn’t been this one, however, after his encounter with the mysterious Inga, he has become probably the best detective in the post-apocalyptic world of UN-GO. The story involves also the very able, but unscrupulous detective Rinroku Kaishou and his daughter. Kaishou-san is the opponent of Shinjuurou in all of his greater cases, but at the end always makes his story more reliable and comfortable for the government, even if it’s not the truth… Thus, Yuuki gets his nickname “The Defeated Detective” being always defeated by Kaishou’s more convenient solutions.

UN-GO Episode: 0 Licensed by Sentai Filmworks
A month after the movie, prequel to the main story in the television anime series UN-GO, was released in theatres across Japan, its license by Sentai Filmworks has been confirmed. The movie is included in the full license that the distribution company has acquired.
Just to remind you, Un-Go episode:0 Inga-ron (Un-Go episode:0 Inga Chapter) is the story behind the mysterious Inga, her/his relationship with Shinjuurou and how they actually met. Yes, some of us can try to understand this from the hints in the series, but it will not be fully. After all, judging from the hints will be too vague… and the movie has so much to offer! Trust me on this.

A Channel, Un-Go Licenses by Sentai Filmworks
Sentai Filmworks has announced that it is has licensed two anime television series. The titles are Un-Go and A Channel. No additional information is known as for the current moment.
Un-Go is an ongoing Studio Bones project based on the works by Ango Sakaguchi. The story centres around the “defeated” private investigator Shinjuurou Yuuki and his odd supernatural companion Inga. Even though Shinjuurou and Inga are able to understand the entire truth behind a crime, they always end-up behind the governmental investigator. Is it because the duo are as wrong or because the government prefers the truth that their person says?
