Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

"Paranoia Agent" along with shows as "The Maxx" "Twin Peaks" "Riget" and "Broken Saints" is one of my favorite series, and along with "Cowboy Bebop" it is one of the best anime series ever made.The plot of "Paranoia Agent" manages to be surprising and deep, without being pretentious or forced: In many ways, this show reminds me "Twin Peaks" since both shows start with an unusual mystery, but instead of being solemn or super-serious as shows as "Lost" or "The X-Flies" in Paranoia Agent, the thrills and the mystery are combined with the appropriate quantity of comedy and heartwarming moments,and even some bits of cutesy (Though while the plot advances, this cutesy turns dark and creepy) If you like television shows as "Twin Peaks" or "The Maxx" you should definitely give this a look. It definitely deserves more appreciation and recognition.I would give this eleven stars if I could.

Insanity, violence and paranormal activity. This is what we've all come to expect from the late great Satoshi Kon creator of such lovely films as Perfect Blue and Paprika. In this event we have a whole anime series called paranoia agent which is a playground for sex, violence and insanity.The story starts out with a girl that is attacked by an unknown assailant and then the story goes along to reflect the minds of society's 'victims' leading to a very odd but spectacular climax.The voice acting is well done on both ends. I preferred the English dub on this one as the voices were well done and I liked the translations better. The sub was very well performed but nothing new for me. I feel that you will be happy weather you are a sub or dub fan.the story starts off very well drawing you in and maintains a very high level of intensity that stays with out throughout. The individual stories are unique and for the most part very interesting not allowing for you to take time and lose interest.Of course there are down sides...Sometimes it can get confusing and you start to think "eh? what was that about?" The story also starts to flow off on a rather odd tangent that I feel was a tad unnecessary.In the end Paranoia Agent is a masterwork with minor but noticeable flaws.

This series is something that should be watched in whole, and most people who rate it badly have either not watched all of the episodes or couldn't figure out the meaning of the ending. Towards the beginning, Lil' Slugger is shrouded in mystery and nobody can even begin to guess where the series goes. However, later on we see that things aren't as they seem and the "victims" aren't random targets. All the while two detectives (with very convincing characters) are trying to make sense of the whole thing. While some parts of the series that hint at its overall plot are a bit random (dolls coming to life and blurting out information), the viewer is kept guessing until the last few episodes, where the pieces finally start coming together. The plot is fresh and unique; a welcome break from the repetitive flow of many anime cartoons.

This show had intrigues me from the first preview I saw on adult swim. the show started off very mysterious and good. then towards the middle it just went downhill. it seems like lil slugger just picked his victims t random and just didn't give a crap about who he hit or killed. and lets talk about the characters here, all of them look so ugly and deformed, except for the cop who smokes all the time, he is the only prime one in the show. And most of the times episodes were completely and didn't even feature lil slugger to the end. like the episode where those people were trying to kill themselves and the episode where they were making the t v show about maromi. it was just boring and completely random. when all comes down to it, I would recommend just watching the first half, because after that it goes downhill, and the ending is crappy
