  • Yes, this trailer makes this show seem scary and all "B-horrorish" but later on it takes a much more important turn of events and really teaches us a lesson about how we live our lives. This show should definitely not be missed.

  • i haven't finished the trailer & iLove it already :D

  • This anime, Higurashi and Perfect Blue are one of the best animated psychological thrillers ever IMO.

  • I used to watch this all the time on Adult Swim

  • "Paranoid Agent is not an ordinary anime. It's beyond your wildest imagination, your deepest fear and your worst nightmare. Paranoid Agent is a mind-bending odyssey of two detectives in the pursuit of solving the mysteries surrounding them. Paranoid Agent will make you doubt about yourself."

  • It's Jet Grind radio, battery edition.

  • fuck, now i'm getting paranoid....

  • This anime series is most certainly one the best television series ever made. Both commenting on the negative impacts of mass paranoia spread by the media and how some peoples' minds will go to any lengths to seek a release from the stress of their everyday lives. It is one of the most intelligent shows i've ever watched.

  • Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts...

  • @brownrocket100 basically its an example of mind over matter. Deep in these peoples sub consious they need an escape and that came in lil slugger, a creation of a girl unable to face the truth.

    slugger changes as mass media changes him and the media and fever behind the 'kid with the golden bat and rollerblades' was absorbed on a sub consiouse level and then used by the brain for a defence.

  • Thumbs up if z0r/2151 brought you here!

  • Gantz , Gilgamesh , Paranoia Agent , Requiem from the darkness were the most psychological and dramatic/tragedy based animes i've seen. GL :)

  • my heart race by seeing this trailer. i definitely need to watch this

  • I love the ending theme of this anime. Satoshi Kon and Susumu Hirasawa is a good collaboration!! *two thumbs up* :D

  • i was like 11 when i saw this the first time...i saw only part 1, but thanks to the internet wonderland i can watch it fully.

  • very great anime!

  • I love this anime!! It is truly a masterpiece! <3

  • Found it!!! I haven't seen this one in ages!! Yes, time to watch...This anime used to scare and intrigue me when I was younger, let's see if it's still the same.

  • We need more anime like this.

  • R.I.P. Satoshi, I really wished you had got more praise for your magnificant works and it is very sad to see you pass away at a young age. If you were still alive we could of still enjoyed you amazing works. R.I.P.

  • This is a masterpiece, and It didn't need over 9,000 bloody episodes to be great either.

  • Looks cool .. I'll try to find it

  • I wish this was as popular as death note.

  • @tratsorb i think Gungrave is the best anime, i watched it 2 times and it was still amazing

  • When darkness overcomes the heart Lil slugger appears and will sets them free (evil laugh)

  • The man who could have done justice to Philip K Dicks stories...

  • Did anyone else looked behind them after watching this?

  • A tru chiller masterpiece, i giv full support

  • Ah, what horrifying show would be complete without some creepy circus music at the end?

  • only 13 episodes of this show and its really good

  • get paranoid?I am already paranoid!

  • great, :) this is a such good awesome anime lil slugger will come after us all :)

  • Don't watch the trailer if you're planning to watch Paranoia Agent since it spoils a big part of it...

  • @D3troa it doesent spoil anything ii saw all 13 episodes this spoiled nothing

  • @warhead213 "Is he real?" spoils just the major plot of the show.

  • @D3troa no you just spoiled the major plot great job -_-

  • @warhead213 yeah, I repeat something from the trailer and I spoil the major plot while the trailer don't, you're totally making sense, I think I won't answer you anymore.

  • @D3troa by making it a big deal and saying is he real repeating what the trailer said you spoiled it. the probably didnt even know what they were talking about for the people who just started this anime so you dont make sense and dont spoil shit for people next time

  • cool!!!!!!!! *¬*

  • the show's opening was f*cked up

  • one of my favorite shows that use to be on Adultswim

  • I''ve been meaning to start this series for a while but now that a saw this trailer...I really want to see it! My other animes will just have to wait :P

  • very deep story.I just finished the entire series.

  • that music at the end is so fitting no really im not being sarcastic

  • i'm going to have to see this show!

  • Satoshi Kon does Twin Peaks in Tokyo. Certainly one of the World's Best Things.

  • This is probably the best anime iv'e ever seen aside from FLCL, Trigun and One Piece!!! But still this anime is fucking awesome!!! It is horror, thriller, mystery and kinda paranormal and funny too but it is very mindfucking and random too! People check out this anime!!! It is very good! :D

  • @brollyhero99 what's with FLCL? i don't see anything extraordinary about it? though i haven't really watched it.. but i've seen the 1st eps.

  • @taigajewel I guess some people truly appreciate randomness. lol

  • DO WANT!

  • man, this anime scared the hell outta me, but the trailor doesnt do it much justice, its really good!

  • oh, it's the ending... silly me

    thank you anyway

  • wow, this is killing me, i need to know the name of that song at the end of the trailer

    help anyone??

  • Susumu Hirasawa/Paranoia Agent OST/19 White Hill - Maromi's Theme

    check out the opening song 01 Dream Island Obsessional Park - search for paranoia agent intro

    enjoy

  • This was such a brilliant anime series! Little slugger was the feeling that drives us over the edge of insanity.

  • this show was so freakin' disturbing!!! I saw it when I was in midlle school and it freaked me the hell out!

  • It's a great show, not for beginners though.

  • despite the desing of characters (wich reminds me the early 80's period) the plot well deserve atention. I will follow this one.

  • I liked this series *nod* one of those ones you have to watch from start to end to understand.

  • Satoshi Kon is by far one of the most underrated directors of our time.

    This genius masterpiece of a television show is what needs some attention, not the next redundant season of Naruto.

  • @EternalSoul175 - Dude I understand your love for intensity. I am a Death Note fan as well and am dying to watch Paranoia Agent (currently downloading) but u cant compare Naruto and these Animes.

    Naruto achieves what intensity does not.

    Compare Naruto or any other anime to any other shit that the television is so full of. Maybe that will help you appreciate any anime, no matter how bad it is in comparison to Paranoia Agent. :) Respect and PEACE

  • @EternalSoul175 I agree, Naruto makes no sense at all to me

  • @EternalSoul175 Naruto is still better.

  • @FreakCyber Yeah but naruto isint over 9000........

  • @EternalSoul175

    he died today

  • @gizelbelcoot Yeah, I know. I still can't believe it myself...

  • @EternalSoul175 He will be remembered fondly. Rest in Peace, Satoshi.

  • @EternalSoul175 ATTENTION TO ALL SATOSHI KON FANS, IN MY HANDS I HAVE A TRANSCRIPT OF THE MAN'S FINAL WORDS THATS BEEN PASSED AROUND THE WORLD. FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE IF YOU WISH TO HAVE A GLIMPSE AT THE LAST WORDS OF ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS OF ALL TIME. AND IF YOU DO ASK FOR IT, PAY IT FORWARD, YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO SPREAD HIS LAST WORDS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

  • @Raxer21 Just tell us on here, only fans of his work could find this.

  • @GeneralFlanCakes It is impossible to fit the man's last words on this comment

  • @Raxer21 Then send me that message. :3

  • @Raxer21 Can you send it to me T-T

  • @EternalSoul175 reading this comment a year on makes me so sad. he had such unfulfilled potential; he was one of the greatest of our time, and i don't know how long it's going to take until someone takes up his mantle.

    sooo much anime these days is trivial shit that gets the same rehashed storylines told over, and over, and over... but this is stimulating, visual bliss!

  • It was ok to me, becuase it was a show of symbolism and made for people with understanding of japanese folklore I didn't get that much, it was almost like a giant acid trip. I didn't know where the real began and the imginary ended

  • @EternalSoul175 BELIEVE IT(to your comment)!!!

  • this show was great

  • the show it wierd but, hard to understand but its good, I liked it

  • is this horror?

  • Not really. There are some horror aspects, but it's more psychological. There's a lot of humour as well though!

  • not really. It just makes you confused and its very psychological.....but its kinda disturbing or freaky sometimes.

  • yeah horror mystery/psychological thriller. its really good. check it.

  • bolly:hells yea

  • There's a party in my tummy, so yummy so yummy.

  • When I first watched this. I was stupid enough to actually turn off the lights and get tangled in some blankets. I was dazed watching it, then when it went on commercial. I freaked out and ran to my room on the verge of screaming. XD I laughed at myself later when I returned to keep watching the show two weeks later...<.<;

  • Try Texhnolize, chances are you get a similar freaking out stage

  • Really? I hope not.

  • Yes, kid, Texhnolize is a rather dark one. Also try Lain, by the same creators of Texhnolize, and Paprika, by the same director of Paranoia Ag. Have fun!

  • Texhnolye and Lain are shows that you probably want to watch by yourself. They get you to thinking about some crazy things like Paranoia Agent does.

    Nice recommendations! Greats shows.

  • also try Boogiepop phantom it's from Satoshi Kon as well but its a lot darker

  • same studio but not Satoshi Kon...

  • this idea is more creative cause it actually has gruesome assult it makes you think though

  • This anime should have been more longer cause it friggin rocked!!!!!!!!

  • This seems interesting. I got to check it out.

  • Lol you really should

    its awesome

  • Plus its short, I loved all 13 episodes

  • Paranoia Agent is a freaking masterpiece! It's one of the greatest shows I've ever seen!

  • Is this anything like Perfect Blue? Just wondering what the level of creepiness is. It looks good!

  • THIS series and Paprika kick ass! I lov'em both!

  • @Mokurentate Everything by Satoshi Kon kicks ass!

  • now that looks good. can anyone tell me what this show is about and if its good?

  • it's about an assault a girl has while walking home, and how other people seem to be attacked by the same person (the boy with the bat) and finally how everybody gets slowly paranoic about the incidents until you can't tell illusion from reality

  • wow thanks is sounds good ^^

    i cant believe i wrote that comment 10 months ago and still havnt seen this. hahaha

  • i just got it for 12 bucks

  • I need to watch this.

  • Short lived by wonderfully wicked

  • Why aren't there more shows like this!!? this is a masterpiece of animation.

  • @Casshan66

    Because most people don't have the brain capacity to comprehend it. They'd rather watch a series that drags out into 5,000 episodes with pointless fillers like Inuyasha.

  • @AnarchistGoth HEEEEEEYY!! Don;t knock Inuyasha, that's a great show too! If you're taking about useles fillers, you're thinking of Bleach!

    This show was great but so was INuyasha, thank you!

  • @colleen4ever What makes Inuyasha great? What about it is the appeal?

  • @somethingisverywrong For one thing it doesn;t scare you **** less like this, you can sleep afyer watching it, ad the characters are prety likeable.

    besides, it doesn't have 5000 filler eps, you're thinking of Bleach! Now THAT'S a neverending story!

  • @colleen4ever Number one your fucking retard. Number two Inyuyasha sucks the biggest fucking ballsack on the planet.

  • @Lyr1calbeast Number one takes one to know one. Number two INUYASHA IS A FANTASTIC ANIME!!! You dont have to watch it if you don;t want to but quit knocking the ones that do!!

    P.S, you better not say anything about Cowboy Bebop...

  • @colleen4ever Wow. :l For that fist inclination you consider you lame, and Inyuyasha was the worst anime ever. Umm .. I didnt say anything about watching it retarded asshole. The only door im knocking on is yours. Why dont you get your head out of your ass, staple your fucking sack to a stack of papers and suck your mothers dick. Because I dont wanna' hear it. :l

    P.S Cowboy Bebop is the best anime ever you fucking loser. c:

  • @Lyr1calbeast You kleep talking that way to me and I;ll report you! Second, I agree Cowboy Bebop is the best anime ever! Nothing's better than that amazing show, but there;s nothing wrong wth INuyasha either. Just becauser YOU dont like it doesn;t mean a lot of people can't!

  • @colleen4ever Report me then. Fucking faggot. Its the damn internet. Yeah. Inyuyashi is fucking gay. I didnt say people couldnt like it fucking retard. o.e;;

    Im sorry to say this but im arguing with a fucking literate dumbass. :l

  • @colleen4ever

    -_-

  • @Casshan66 The answer to your question is simple, these self-proclaimed "Otaku's" only know of mainstream anime's such as Naruto and Bleach. They pay no attention to detail, and only pretend to like such anime's because they want to belong.

  • I love this series. One of the most creepiest shows ever!

  • i bought the first 4 episodes on dvd 2 days ago i watched it and i love it

  • SURREAL!

    satoshi kon is one of the best anime directors ever

  • This was and always will be my favorite Anime. Although, I only have the first two volumes of the show...I need the last two... T_T

  • God I miss this show. I never missed a single episode. It was the best of all time and I only wish I could watch it again.

  • i am fuckig n addicted to this anime it is so good

  • is this good..??based on the trailer it is creepy and i love anime's which are scary bloody creepy mysterious...

  • This anime is one of the most amazing, confusing, astounding, bizzare, thought-provoking and overall brilliant shows to ever air on television.

  • wow it looks cool.. how is it compared to serial experiments lain? kinda same?

  • not at all.Serial Experiment lain is almost only based on visual.Here,its dialogues between characters that make the anime,yet,as lain,every episode has it own narrative schelude.Also,this is not the same kind of creepness that flows in PA.Well,at least this is as good as serial E L .

  • nice.. thank you for enlighting me :).. ill give it a try then :D

  • what scared me the most was the music at the end.

  • That was just plain scary.....

  • 510 was the hospital room number of his first victim I think

  • One of the best anime ever. Truly a mindboggling pyschological thriller with a very...bizarre ending.

    Not what I expected at all.

  • Absolutely. The cosmic irony, the creepy mood all throughout. This is my absolute favorite RPG besides "Case Closed" because of its genre-bending narrative. It's like part of it is horror, but another is drama and black humor, etc.

  • do you guys think that 510 people where hit or killed by the kid with the bat or is that a random number??

  • 510 was the toy designers apartment room number :P (gotta keep your eyes peeled for shows like this)

  • shit the song at the end was effing creepy man. To all of you who said it didnt do it any justice, i still thought this was pretty good.:3

  • Now Paranoia Agent...the first ep was a bit scary. My fave eps were ep 2, 6, 7, 9 and 10. The last ep...a bit depressing and tragic.

    It's good in the categories of psychological thrillers.

  • this show is hella cool

    i think i just found my next most watched anime

    after case closed

  • haha you sound like how i was when i first got into anime :D

  • your point is?

  • i don't really have one. :]

  • lol

  • Trailer does NOT do this series justice. One of the few anime shows ever to not only interest me, but amaze me throughout and make me think long and hard about how people do things. Pure genius.

  • well i seen it in HMV an was like hmmm. now seen this trailer an it looks awesome. reminds me of itchi the killer abit. i like those type of animes like the perfect blue an stuff. now if your tellin me its not served justice then i know where my wages this month are goin. lol thanks :)

  • aww man now im scared of boys with bats and rollerskates

  • "get paranoid this fall..."

    O_o

    xD

  • Little boys on rollerblades are really disturbing to me now.

  • I couldn't expect less from Satoshi Kon!!! He is definitely the best director!! I loved Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Paprika and I liked Tokyo Godfathers. Watching Paranoia Agent was like seeing scenes or characters from these movies in only one show. But in fact, the movies were inspired from the series.

    Anyway, very good anime!! The psychological analysis, the mystery, the horror, the butterfly effect, the craziness, the paranoia... all these were perfectly depicted in PA. Impressive!!

  • in fact, i think that everybody has the right to an opinion, whether they express themselves in long or short comments.

    and no, i don't hate anything. thanks for asking :D

  • i think youre just being paranoid =P

  • where can I watch this on net?

  • you could watch all of it at

    v e o h . c o m (without the spaces)

  • oooh...had no clue Satoshi Kon did this one. Definitely have to get this one now

  • Satoshi's depiction of the psychiological is both frightening and, in some cases, true.

  • Best anime ever! <33

  • got that right.....

  • always liked this anime just never understood it QQ

  • I love this anime so much, but I'm sorry, this trailer is kinda bad.. "Is he Real".. wow. Doesn't do justice to the symbolic and beautiful series that is PA. It makes it look like any average crappy mystery.

  • I don't think a mere trailer could do that anyway.lol

  • I never knew that character designer was the same designer for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, now I see the resemblence.

    Btw, Geneon makes really good shows.

  • This trailer makes it look as if it's one of those mystery-murder-horror flix, but there's the couple wacky episodes that throw off that mood.

  • I knew I've seen this before! I watched it on Adult Swim one time...it was so creepy and intriguing.

  • Ooh, I wanna see this. And I wanna get paranoid!

  • I love this anime!!

  • me too !!!!!!!!

  • this is my one of my favorite anime ^^

  • The ending is kinda creepy, kinda reminds me of the movie "It" *extreme shivers* I've only had the chance to watch the first episode of the series so far but it looks really good! ^^
