Unnamed Memory's Sequel Novels End in December, and a Label We Got Wrong

Kuji Furumiya's follow-up novel run, Unnamed Memory -after the end-, closes in December. The sequel series began in 2022.

Our index holds two television entries under the Unnamed Memory name: the 2024 series and the 2025 second season. Neither page states a free episode count. There is no free episode count on either page, so there is nothing here to watch at no cost.

What we can do is run a count. Both entries carry the inherited descriptive tag "Primarily Adult Cast", the first at rank 80 and the second at rank 79. That tag says something about who the cast are and nothing about maturity of content or quality. Drawn at rank 80 and above, the shelf comes to 259 entries: 164 television series, 35 ONA, 30 films, 20 OVA, 6 television shorts and 4 specials. The first Unnamed Memory series sits inside that shelf. Season 2 misses by a single rank point.

Of those 259, 16 state a free episode count, 86 episodes in total. Ten of the sixteen state exactly one episode. Two titles hold most of the depth: one states 40 and another states 20, which leaves 26 episodes shared among the remaining fourteen. Thirteen of the sixteen carry no language note, two say Chinese audio with English subtitles, and one says Japanese audio. All counts are computed per viewer country, and this is the view from the United States. Exactly one multi-episode run in the census reaches the episode total we record for it.

The one complete run, and a correction

That run is Lady Oscar: The Rose of Versailles, first aired 1979 by our record. The page states 40 free episodes against a recorded total of 40, so the run goes to the final episode. All 40 rows sit on the Anime! on TMS Official Channel, which carries a YouTube verified badge, re-checked today.

Eight uploads across the run, episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 20, 30 and 40, were opened today. Each of the eight carries exactly one caption track, an automatic Japanese one. Automatic captions are generated from the soundtrack, so the audio is Japanese. Our own stored language label on those rows says English. It is wrong. The eight uploads run between 1,426 and 1,457 seconds, so they are full episodes, and the country allow-list on these rows includes the United States.

The second one, four short

Lupin the 3rd Part IV, recorded as first aired in 2015, states 20 free episodes against a recorded total of 24. The run stops four short of the end. Same channel, same verified badge. Our stored numbers 1 through 20 line up exactly with uploads labelled EP01 through EP20, with no case of one video standing in for two episodes. Three of them, episodes 1, 2 and 20, were opened today, and each carries an automatic English caption track, so the audio is English. The upload titles say English Dub. Those three run between 1,386 and 1,389 seconds. The country allow-list includes the United States.
