Paranoia Agent - Our sick, mad world

[RyanScfc1]

This AMV is absolute genius. Everything about it fits in perfect with the actual anime.

I'm amazed.

[JoshuaAushoj]

Great editing

[somaticjester]

I've watched this years ago before I even had my YT account. And I once said to myself: This amv portrays the very essence and insanity of PA. Fast forward. Coming back to watch this, the feeling remained the same: I love every single second of it.

This is one of those unique, brilliant amvs that will linger in one's subconscious. Kudos to the creator.

[SADRavin]

Love it, very well done. ☺

[linwaumei]

This one is perfect! it fits in an awesome way with the song. I haven't watched Paranoia Agent yet, but it made me want to right now.

[pureholland]

fucking awesome intro and video too:)

[SusanBaudelaire]

This is perfect.

[lusulpher]

I didn't actually like that particular TFF rendition of Mad World, but now I do...This AMV is simply glorious.

And it's a mad world because noone takes responsibility until they are forced into an inescapable corner. They try everything except responsibility, that's the definition of madness. Doing everything frantically, except the thing that works...

[xyzaffair]

The opening sound reminds me of the music in A Clockwork Orange.

[MetroidMilkMan]

@xyzaffair thats because it IS the music in A Clockwork Orange :p

[DarkGhost89]

The uploader probably won't read this, but this was on Youtube and had like nearly a million views (and back them, they was a really big number). Someone must have made a copyright complaint and took it out. Good to see you reuploaded it, it is one of the best anime AMV around (especially back then, where it had even more Bleach/Naruto AMV with Linkin Park to stuff like this).

[rowanrockhopper2]

@DarkGhost89 this video has been on youtube for 5 years though?

[DarkGhost89]

@rowanrockhopper2 Something like that. It was around during the days when youtube had no time limit and people can watch entire Anime series with almost no worry about removal by copyrights. Then they started to cracked down....

[deathdoor]

OMG!! FANSTASTIC!

[RoselineAzreth]

Very brilliantly put together!

[myolivia2011]

@pinanoboypiano

The woman had a mental problem when she would become other women. Once she started rejecting them they started attacking her (or her believeing they did). Eventually she went so crazy that the clown character appeared out of her utter madness.

Hope I helped a little

[2l28DRAIN]

Loved the anime, fantastic AMV.

[tocofool]

Love this anime, BTW great AMV!

[Harnikawa]

Wow, that was an excellent AMV. Really portrays the craziness and madness all the characters go through. I don't think Icchi got enough screen time in the anime personally and loved the way you used him here. Ichhi = the best paranoia agent character hands down♥

[pianoboypiano]

i didnt get the woman with clown looking face thing... can someone explain? ill probably feel stupid after i hear it or i might not have been paying very good attention...

[samu29]

Really great work.

Man, 2004 was such a great year for anime...

[ninjaYuffie]

this is one incredible work of brilliant editing! It captured the essence of Paranoia Agent well! This is amazing. Satoshi Kon would have clapped at this pure beauty.

[shutupandletmego88]

Le montage est juste incroyable! 

[Wijjyu]

I love sagi tsukiko

[pohuuns]

Oh man.. hats off before this AMV.. awsome... great sync and stuff like that.. but the song should have been more depressing.. but anyway.. AWSOME!!!!

[SuperDuckyWho]

@pohuuns I think the more upbeat one fits the anime more. I mean, the whole time all this creepy depressing stuff is happening yet they all try to pretend it's not happening... which is also why the intro is so fitting as well. In essence that's what screws everyone over in the end.

[CandieCane100]

Clockwork Orange + Donnie Darko + Paranoia Agent = God

[vampiresinmexico]

this video brings back memories.

i miss when they aired paranoia agent on adult swim. that show was epiccc.

[Theowest]

EPIC.

[cgpucca23]

this video is awsome 8D

[HappyEmoproductions1]

Great AMV Paranoia agent is the best anime series ever.

[N1ghtW41k3r]

My god it's AWESOME

[ObnoxiousDan]

The best AMV i've ever seen.

[DONG1020]

2:44 is a big hint! <3

[DrWestofReanimation]

"Excuse me, but who are you?" R.I.P. Satoshi Kon

That was a good mix, EnseiChan

[EnkaiNami]

I don't care how overused it is, I like this song.

Contrary to what some comments say, there's more than one theme going on in Paranoia Agent; just because it didn't focus on "taking responsibility" for one's actions, doesn't mean than this AMV missed the point of the series. It just chose to focus on hysteria building up on itself ("when people run in circles, it's a very, very mad world"). It fit quite well with what the characters were experiencing. Excellent pacing and use of clips, also.

[mikesholler27]

@EnkaiNami that it does. and the amv is well done I WILL STILL prefer the gary jules version of this song any day.



[CrazyRyukka]

totally awesome!

[zevex747]

This is so frickin cool.

[linkalover1]

angle beats would fit this song good :)

[fearmonster13]

That's right! HALLOWEEN IS COMING SOON! (CHOPPING THE PIECES OF DEAD BODIES) (EVIL HYSTERICAL LAUGHING)

[redscribbler]

I dont understand how the song matchs the themes of taking resposbility for your actions that are in the anime. And this song is relly over used

[dragonhero0]

@redscribbler the theme is in fact about abstaining responsibility, maromi tells you to take a rest, its okay to let go. and to those who cannot let go natuarally, lil' slugger is there to ease your burden. the theme is to not care, it's the conclusion that tells you to take responsibility. that states that you are the only one that causes your reality.

when enough people believed in the idea of maromi/lil'slugger the world almost ended.

[KiyokaMakibi]

RIP Satoshi kun. You were one the best director in this sort of scene. I'm still shocked there will be no more glorious anime's from you.

[highvirux]

This amv is perfectly done, but someone who doesn't know that anime (like me) wouldn't get the story.

[5tailed]

wow,this song really goes with the show quite well

[gviruscore]

would have recommended Gary Jules version but this adds a trippier effect... good job and RIP satoshi Kon

[jeditrond]

This AMV is a work of genius! :)

[nekojustin]

what is the song in the beginning? i herd it on clock work orange i think.

[MetroidMilkMan]

@nekojustin yeah its the remix of "The Funeral of Queen Mary" used for the A Clockwork Orange movie. o:

[FrosChannel]

Nearly 95% of all AMVs suck total ass. This is one of the good 5%.

[jashinslayer]

@FrosChannel

I totally agree.

"Gee ANOTHER AMV with fucking Linkin Park or Evanescence boy I've never seen that before!"

Its like almost all AMV are made by stupid teenagers who have shit taste in anime and music and decide to blend the two together.

This AMV rocks though.

[GuitarSlingerPK]

Well done sir or madam!

[jashinslayer]

Thank you for such a wonderful series, Satoshi Kon.

When someone creates wonderful works of art they live on the hearts of countless others.

[Toukah]

Rest in peace Satoshi Kon. I can't stress enough how much we'll all miss you.

[Repelsteeltju]

God, I can't believe the maker died... Satoshi Kon R.I.P.

[badcat1226]

we are just sick, mad, little, people running around.

[ChatQuiTeVoit]

Yep......phenomenal matchup, and editing. Thanks.

[mancho747heavy]

Best AMV ever, all the clip merge with the music, with the lyrics... Just awesome someone pick a great anime like Paranoia Agent and a classic song as Mad World, just fantastic.

[PandahBurr]

The video is excellent by the way. Great job.

[PandahBurr]

The song at the beginning was in A Clockwork Orange o.o

[Umi7chaba]

The KID With the GOLDEN BAT!! ouo

[sino112]

was the kid now the bad one??

[lopeztreex]

@sino112

He was, but then he wasn't, and then he got murdered, and then Tokyo got destroyed. /rinse and repeat.

[Katana991]

I like this version of the song

[swordsman452]

Good ass amv alert wooooop wooooooop woooooooooooooooop

[sokoratwiliprincess]

i think this song is better when it sung by gary jules its more emotional

[Ironside123]

@sokoratwiliprincess

That one is more emotional, while this one just seems more....eerie....

Which to me seems more fitting.

[sokoratwiliprincess]

@Ironside123 yeah your right it does suit the vid better

[Sonic2332]

I normally hate AMVs, but this one was done so well! 

[ChouBunny]

hands down the BEST video to this show i have ever seen.

[knastymike]

Still so damn amazing.

[everplayer]

Superb editing

[fuknuget]

wub paranoia agent and wub the son. wub wub wub!

[OmnipotentSquid]

i completely agree with alexthebold, not to mention i really enjoy paranoia agent.

good job! it's best amv i have seen in a while, most i dislike mainly because of the choice of music or application of it.

gj.

[Shunhara]

Well done.

[punkbela]

awesome !!

[Witchkid42]

This anime is disturbing as hell...really good though. I just can't get some of those images out of my head.

[Miwa200]

i think this anime is Sick, but...i like Song.

[Callannah]

I'm very sure Gary Jules made the original of this song, FrederikundWilma.

[KiyokaMakibi]

@Callannah

No Tears for fears had this song first. Just because Gary Jules's version is probally more known doesn't mean it's the original.

[Milgrove]

You'd be wrong. Tears for Fears did this song first.

[Flea817]

@Callannah No, this is the second song on Tears For Fear's debut album, The Hurting. Fine album, by the way.

[japxican91]

i want to find another paranoia agent AMV that used to be here a few years back, it was to Change (In the house of flies) by Deftones, but I cant find it D;

[ANFTAMMI4EVER]

Nice work! Good song too, I prefer this version :)

[Nagneto]

Clockwork Orange for the win oh my brother.

[HamEggsButteredToast]

EPIC! Paranoia Agent is my fav anime and this vid was just great!

[blueblacks]

this amv is mazing! XD

the song is perfect for the anime!

[9EsPaDa]

whos is the singer¿?

mad world?

but the cover?

[MsDexterTV]

tears of fears this is the band name

and mad world is a title of this song

[FrederikundWilma]

@9EsPaDa you know, actually this is the original version of the song, not a cover...

[shade231]

this show was just really fucked up. Fuckn blow ur mind.

[Hegetor0neiron]

Great Danes! I just enjoyed an AMV! A great find, thanks for sharing!

[StevenLoos]

I absolutely loved this series, very Lovecraftian in its horror, and original in its surreal sensibilities. Satoshi Kon is a genius.

[ihavemydignity]

very very good amv! Just finished the series :) Was great... left me thinking...

[X37B2]

is this like a movie or something?

[IHaveToSignUp1234567]

@X37B2 It's an anime, it was on Adult Swim for a brief time a while back. It's a 13 episode series that's quite good, all except two episodes I think.. Ep 5 being the only difficult one to sit through.

[X37B2]

@IHaveToSignUp1234567 kk thanks ill be sure to watch it

[CookieMonster0943]

Dude i love the Clockwork Orange theme in the beggining. Very amazing ;) <3 Jordann

[advisorC101]

Here is a world ruled by inner chaos and nightmares, the one that we perpetuate day by day.

[LiebheartJohansama]

You're totally right, advisor.

About the AMV... JUST AMAZING! And I really love this anime !

[mcca2684]

deep and true

[advisorC101]

Unfortunately I have not had the chance to watch the entire series, but I can imagine how much truth it holds about the ugly world that we live in today.

[prcax]

Very nice o_o ! 5*

[gloom22683]

nice

[Shunhara]

I think this is the best AMV I've ever seen, good editing.

[Nicetry75]

666 ratings.

[Zekeuro]

[christopherW5412]

Love the show, love the music, love your video

5 STARS!!!!! ^-^

[NFKGRAFF]

[EnseiChan]

"Mad world" by Tears for Fears

[Jennyjkc]

omgggg!!!! I saw this show 4 the 1st time late at nite and it scared the shit outa me D........X

[MoralDeQue]

I enjoy this video quite a lot and was caught off guard when while watching A Clockwork Orange, the first thing I hear is the funeral of Queen Mary II. So THAT's what that is...

[EnseiChan]

Just a reminder: all the credits for this awesome job go to Roccket ^_^

[shy0wolf]

This is really awesome! What a talented job!

[XxGaarasGirlxX]

I've fallen in love with the anime and this amv! *rates and faves*

[MarauderNo5]

Wow. Really nice amv.

Don't see quality like this very often.

[mayukoheike]

yeah Satoshi Forever!

[roxasandcloud]

One of the best animes ever its a must watch

[alexthebold]

Really, quite excellent. You have managed to achieve a thematic undercurrent; you haven't just slapped in clips of images that correspond to words in the songs. Really, really impressive.

[EvangelineMcDoweII]

inb4 mindfuck ^_^"

[killbreen]

one word : amazing

[thejoediaries]

fantastic!

[mancho747heavy]

This is Fucking Great the music the anime the lyric and it seems that the video mix perfectly with the music I just love it.

[BrianaPanic]

Mind blowing. 0:

[SoulBleacher93]

amazing is all i can say

[BokuGaJ]

really nice work, a pitty that there exist only a few amvs with this kind quality :-)

[Vanadium]

one of the best amv's on youtube

[xxCristycravexx]

Amazing video!

The song matched perfectly!

And I love how the video clips go with the words and the beat.

[RuikeiWolf]

Absolutely, fantastically brilliant :3.

[Beorgit]

++

13 episodes in 4 minutes, perfect!

[Konuz2010]

man that was AWSOME nice song with right choice anime FAV AND RATE

[mcp792]

great video, song fits perfectly. nice choice of scenes. i love the timing with bat and the drum beats

[Nummysammich]

Perfectly captures the manic depression of the show! Happy, but at the same time deeply disturbed and pensive. Love it!

[samuraitatin]

Wow... that is impresive AMV

thnx...

O_O truly flawless...

[thefadingmoonlight]

that was really really good =]

[animecookie]

oh wow,that was epic O.O

[earthbender723]

wooow this vid is amazing! n.n

[laviah19]

I love this!!! Thankx for the upload. [wink]

[AmbushUnit]

Flawless.

[dekkaihito]

One of the best AMVs I've ever seen. Pretty much perfect.

[titanjb]

please please for the love of music put in the info that this is not a cover its the ORIGINAL please =(

[JudoCreature]

I shat so many bricks. One of my favourite anime, hands down, and this AMV was brilliant. The cover of the song, I must say, is also wonderful. I didn't think I'd like such a different cover of Mad World, but it changes the entire mood. And it fits.

Phenomenal. --Judo

[ForbiddenFruit73]

Actually this version by Tears For Fears is the original, the one you're probably thinking of by Gary Jules is the cover.

[JudoCreature]

Is it really? I had no idea. I was always under the impression that this was the cover of Gary Jules.

Thanks for correcting me. xD --Judo

[BTfallenleaves]

well i think this is the best amv that i've ever seen

[mylightside]

Holy hell. That was good.

[maxmra]

That was pretty incredible, everything matched up so well. True art.

[Tsukasa171]

thats some great editing, goes flawless with the song the and picture

[HiOkamiProductions]

coolness you posted this on my birthday!! XD (i like it btw)

[Kiki3247]

I have to say, Icchi, I think that's how you spell his nick name, is my fave character :P

[axelnaruto]

He suffers from delusions of granduer :P

[Kiki3247]

wuts that lol

[badcat1226]

Henry Purcell - "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary"

Good stuff.

[TekoMuto]

FROM 0:00 to 0:18 WHAT IS THE SONG???

[RepoBaxil]

It's from the film "A Clockwork Orange". Don't know any more than that.

[TekoMuto]

i aswell wish to know what it is.

[Trilicon]

.... tears came to my eyes.... marvelous.....

[animecsihorrorfan101]

i think really good songs for this show is disturbia, crawling by linkin park, and mad world (evergreen terrace version)

[Tikal72]

LOL!  Weeaboo..I haven't heard that in awhile.

Anyway, perfect job on the video.

Anyone remember in AMV Hell 4:

"Do you know what my favourite kinda horse is?

Uh, a Clydesdale?

Nope...a bonk on the head" *Gets batted*

[caifan111]

fucking weeaboos ruining good songs every fucking day

[shinobi67]

And yet you still watch and comment on the videos. How about just not watching them? Seems simpler to me.

[caifan111]

i stumbled this sorry piece of dogshit

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[shinobi67]

And yet, you still watched it even if you didn't like it. You could have just listened to the song.

[Pazzelwazzel]

Like this version way better <3

[KiyokaMakibi]

Perfection at its best. Evert beat, every lyric matched. HIghly impressed with this genius who made this.

This video deserves 5 stars, no less.

[theallseeingoracle]

This really is rather brilliant.

[howcouldutell]

oh my gawd!! dood i like that the show matches the lyrics!!AWSOME YO

[brollyhero99]

This video is just PERFECT!!!!

[zXEmoGummiBearXz]

AWSOMENESS. :D I remember this anime.. [x Its on some channel.. idk i forgot.. ill comment back when i find it. [:

[shamantard181]

i like it

[amutofan666]

i loooove this amv!!! its one of my faves of all time!!

this was sent by snopea87, but she forgot her password, and she was to lazy to get the notebook she wrote it in...

[chenalos]

Good to hear the original track, and not the Donnie Darko version.

[KiyokaMakibi]

Yesssh mate no kidding. Just had aquick listen to DOnnie version. It's got nothign on this.

[octmoon86]

The thing I like most, and the song fits the anime and rocks without me having say, is that it is well put together. The beat at the beginning matched with the golden bat swings is awesome.
