Ending Theme:
"Shiroi Oka - Maromi no Theme" by Susumu Hirasawa
So I have finally followed the crowd and started watching one of the best anime series directed by Satoshi Kon. This man has done absolutely amazing work! I'm sure you've heard of Paprika, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, and Tokyo Godfathers. Yepp, that's all by him. And yes, if you haven't seen those, you definitely have to. (And I may do reviews on them later)
So of course, I have very high expectations of Paranoia Agent. And it seems like its living up to those expectations.
The anime starts off with a young woman named Tsukiko Sagi (who oddly reminds me of Osaka from Azumanga Daioh!). She is the famous designer of the cute little character named Maromi. So you may be thinking, "Oh damn, she is SO gunna get it." Well, yeah. That's pretty much it. After walking around -alone- at night, Tsukiko get's attacked by this shadow with a baseball bat. Ouch.
So thus, starts this whole shinanagins revolving around the attacker by the name of Shounen Bat (pretty much: Bat Boy). In the dubbed version they called him 'lil slugger', which just made me spit juice of out of my nose. Well besides that, this anime has major suspence and awesome character designs. The opening theme is absolutely awesome, and the ending is pretty freaky IMO. So I suggest that you go and start watching Paranoia Agent with me!
Oh and make sure it's the subbed version. Unless you want your drink spraying all over the place.
