I love this Anime~ <3 <3 <3
Directed by Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, I think), it's a psychological thriller about Shonen Bat (Lil' Slugger), a boy who is attacking people with a golden bat. The catch is....each of his victims, at the time of their assaults, have been in a state of emotional surrender, have been emotionally cornered, with no way out. To them, Lil' Slugger symbolizes peace of mind and an escape from the harsh reality that is life. However, it also seems that Maromi, the cartoon dog created by the first victim, Tsukiko Sagi, is also an escape from reality for people. What is their link?
I love this anime....it's only 13 episodes, but it's still awesome. I'm in the process of recording each one on DVD....
I highly recommend Paranoia Agent. Ghost in The Shell fans will be able to appreciate the psychology between the terror th epeople feel as Shonen Bat attacks them.
