Un-Go follows a detective, Shinjuurou Yuuki, known as the "Defeated Detective" (as he's always 'officially' trumped by another detective at the last moment, Chairman Kaishou) as he takes on a variety of cases with his side-kick, Inga. Inga looks like an odd little boy, but harbors a dark secret that is revealed in every case - at Shinjuurou's behest, Inga can transform into a beautiful lady and ask a suspect one question that they can not refuse to answer.
Obviously, something isn't quite right with Inga and as the show goes on, you find that his/her detective work isn't for the good of others. The show runs eleven episodes and covers several story arcs as well as several stand alone episodes. I thoroughly enjoyed the show, as while it is a mystery - it's also often solvable by the viewer ahead of time. But not obviously so, because the director loves to misdirect you into believing one thing is true until just minutes before the grand reveal during some arcs. It's a satisfying show with a solid end, a great cast of memorable (and creepy) characters and some interesting story arcs.
I'd highly recommend Un-Go to fans of anime or mysteries, as while it is definitely anime - it's not one of those shows that is your typical anime fair. It makes you think, has an interesting story to tell and a fairly unique art style.
