Sorry about that. I tried to make it simple and still keep the right meaning.
Want some advil? *holds out bottle of advil*

This show just keeps getting more strange and confusing. It was pretty freaky when that girls personalities were attacking her.
Luckyalchemy27
I know...I didn't know that multiple personalities could do that to a person...but what I think is really creepy is when her personalities kept leaving her messages. *shudders*
Mustang's Apprentice
What a weird episode, I heard it was heavily edited also.

I'm starting to form a theory in my head about the answer to Paranoia Agent.

I liked this episode, but it really WAS creepy! I mean, she would throw away her other personalities clothes and make-up, only for them to return mysteriously! Then she gets hit by lil slugger, and she's better. Weird.

She was throwing the stuff away in her regular state of mind and then her other side would take over and bring the stuff back. She does not have memories of what her other personality did when she is normal. It was her bringing the stuff back, she just couldn't control it. I guess it's sort of like she had two different ghosts in one body(GITS reference biggrin.gif ).

I have been watching the dub and it's an okay anime but man is it confusing but hopefully it will make more sense later in the series
Tamago
I atched one episode and didn't understand one bit of it.........MUST BUY!!!! blink.gif I loved it!! biggrin.gif
Jen_Elric
Jeez! Does ANYONE watch this show anymore? Probably not, cuz stupid AS put it on SOOO late!!!
Anyways, to those who watched this past Saturday's episode, who understood it? I was very confused, especially by the ending! I think it was the weirdest episode ever! I need some comments about this episode. Maybe some answers?
Owarinai Yume
Well,those were just ppl who wanted to die because the two men were um*cough*yaoi*cough.I don't no about the girl,they just wanted to get slugged beacue they thought they were emotionally cornered,but it wasn't good enough to get them slugged like they hoped.

Thanks! But, I'm still confused about the ending. The part where

They got their pic taken unknowingly by that girl taking the pic of her friends. The girls went to see how it came out, and they started screaming bloody murder! I doubt it was because the pic came out horribly. And then a condom machine was shown; what's the deal with that?
I think that the girl was just very lonely, and wanted to die with them. Wait! What about the guy that jumped in front of the train? I ended up walking away alive! WOW! Just really weird episode. But I still kinda liked it. Especially the part where they were chasing Lil' Slugger.
Envy's lil' miniskirt
That's my favorite PA episode! I was always curious why they all wanted to die, it was never explained.

From what they tell us I assumed the old man was sick and the other man was gay and had just broken up with his lover. The little girl is never explained unless she lost her family and didn't want to be alone.

I wasn't sure about the guy who was hit by the train but it might of been his ghost walking away and not him. I think they were trying to find Shonen Bat so he could spare them the trouble of killing themselves.

doesn't lil' slugger attack emotionly cornered people? p.s. the holy warrior episode was really funny. P.s.s. i saw a picture of lil' slugger with some fangs! it was on a dvd box and it was really weird too.

yeah it is a weird show. And the last episode what happened to that man?
Zabimaru
I like Paranoia Agent, becuase of the complex plot.
Lonewolf25
I really enjoy Paranoia Agent too. I have watched it from the beginning and I have seen almost every episode. The story is a little confusing, but I think it's interesting to try and find out who or what lil slugger really is. I have a theory on who he is, but I have to see the ending to see if i'm right wink.gif
CHOO
Lil' Slugger

there was a condom box, because it showed that crappy thin condoms dont work, just like how killing yourself doesnt solve anything
at least that what i think

there was a really in depth discussion on gamefaqs.com on the [as] section.
but the topic is pretty old
Empathy
Just to tell this anime was just plain complex and werid at the same time. And whats up with that stupid pink dog its so annoying to look at.
Taskinst
i don't understand that show for nothing. it seems pretty stuipd to me. i think someone needs to explain it to me
experiment#84 : lab 5
I loves this anime smile.gif . This is one of the scariest anime I've ever seen in my life. Tons of symbolic meanings, lots of horror elements, great tales of each character, all related in some way. This anime is real great, I would recomend this anime to any one in for a little scare or maybe just for the great mystery elements used in this show wink.gif .

~ Paranoia Agent:psychological/suspense Thriller! ...well, Sorta Thriller... ~

Not sure if a thread has already been made about this series, but...meh, I'll take a shot.

13 whole episodes, aired on Adult Swim...the quote below is an excerpt from the Wikipedia article about it :3

QUOTE
Paranoia Agent (妄想代理人, Mōsō Dairinin?) is a Japanese anime television series created by director Satoshi Kon and produced by Madhouse about a social phenomenon in Musashino, Tokyo caused by a juvenile serial assailant named Lil' Slugger (Shōnen Bat, or Bat Boy in the original Japanese version). The plot relays between a large cast of people affected in some way by the phenomenon; usually Lil' Slugger's victims or the detectives assigned to apprehend him. As each character becomes the focus of the story, details are revealed about their secret lives and the truth about Lil' Slugger.


I found the series to be incredibly well-done; I was often caught on the edge of my seat for a few episodes tongue.gif So much suspense...it really made you think.

Wouldn't advise the youngsters to watch it; brief nudity and adult situations, of course.

So...anyone?

==============

~ It's an interesting series. I watched it when it was originally aired on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network - U.S.) then watched a few more times with re-runs to understand it. I think I "got" it, but I'm not 100% sure. XD Anyway, post your discussions here! smile.gif
