What I like most about In/Spectre is that it does not follow in the footsteps of typical supernatural whodunnits about someone attempting to solve a mystery. No, this is not about solving the mystery itself, it is more about the different interpretations. In the last episode, there is something about how powerful the human mind is, and how it can create countless different scenarios for almost everything, and this is what really fascinated me. The main female protagonist is able to describe different plausible versions of what could have happened, and at the same time gradually break down what you believe, until she can actually convince you that the sky is not blue, and water is not wet… The way she does it is really very verbose and so fans of action-packed shows are probably not going to like this. However, if you like to think about stuff, speculate, or at least enjoy looking at things from multiple perspectives, then you are going to really enjoy it and be blown away. Add to that the fact that the supernatural aspect of the show works, the main characters have the right chemistry (yes, it reminded me of Gosick), plus this anime series is interesting even when there is no supernatural mystery being solved, which makes it a superior immersive experience even for discerning audiences and an altogether smart and interesting show. 7.5/10 ()
