This series can be described quite simply - breathtaking, interesting, twisted, original and difficult. Kon Satoshi's works are all unique and extremely twisted because they make an introspection into somehow forbidden area - into our (sub)consciousness. This whole series successfully depicts pathologic phenomena of human psychology and it's slow development. Thanks to this main aspect it's very twisted and to someone it can seem like something absolutely crazy ... well, it is. The main plot, which is hidden within single episodes, is difficult to grasp and follow and almost impossible to completely understand with all its details and symbols. Don't expect stereotype by contraries expect unexpected.
'Must see' for anyone who likes psychological and twisted works with a little bit of conspiracy where you have to use your own head to understand the whole piece.

This show is from the maker of Perfect Blue and Millenium Actress, the script is from the same man who did Boogiepop Phantom.
It's not your average show, the title of "Paranoia" is really what this show is about.
A young boy on roller blades seems to roll around the city and whack people on the head with a baseball bat, and things don't seem to be the same after that.
Shounen Bat is back home...

Categories
Action
Action anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting.
Asia
Asia is the world`s largest and most populous continent.
Cops
The police (civil servants) are the good guys in the battle against crime. Though they try hard, they are usually outclassed by super-criminals or criminal organizations in anime, requiring the help of special units or some lone hero.
Detective
It focuses on the efforts of the Detective, private investigator or amateur sleuth to solve the mysterious circumstances of a crime by means of clues, investigation, and clever deduction. The successful mystery film often conceals the identity of the perpetrator until late in the story, then adds an element of suspense during the apprehension of the suspect.
Earth
That big mud ball that most of us live on.
Horror
The horror cinematic genre is characterized by the attempt to make the viewer experience dread, fear, terror, or horror. Often their plots involve the intrusion of an evil force, event or personage, sometimes of supernatural origin, on the mundane world and the consequences thereof.
Japan
Last stronghold for humanity, if Tokyo falls, it`s all over. Tokyo Tower will undoubtedly fall anyway.
Law and Order
Where there is "wealth", there are criminals. It is up to the civil law enforcement, i.e. detectives, Police or Special Squads, to keep the lawless activities in the real world or in cyberspace under control.
Note: Do not confuse this with Military presence. Original Work: New Not based on anything, the story is a new work, usually made up by the people involved in creating the anime. Generally if an original work (原作) credit is given, it will be to the studio, or director, or other members of the production team. Seinen A subset of anime or manga that is generally targeted at a 18 - 25 year old male audience, but the audience can be much older with some manga aimed at businessmen well into their 40s. Sex Known as intercourse, the ultimate bond of love. Thriller The thriller is a genre of fiction in which tough, resourceful, but essentially ordinary heroes are pitted against villains determined to destroy them, their country, or the stability of the free world. The hero of a typical thriller faces danger alone or in the company of a small band of companions. The protagonist may be a law enforcement agent, a journalist, or a soldier, but typically he or she is cut off from the resources of "their" organization. More often the hero is an ordinary citizen drawn into danger and intrigue by circumstances beyond their control. (Source: Wikipedia) Time: Present Somewhere between past and future Tragedy Tragedy is a form of drama characterized by seriousness and dignity, usually involving a conflict between a character and some higher power, such as the law, the gods, fate, or society. Twisted Twisted indicates more than one abrupt change in plot or story. This derivation from strict linear storytelling usually makes these anime hard to follow, and at times even very confusing when several parallel plots intertwine. Violence Physical force against self or other, compelling action against one`s will on pain of being hurt.

Similar Anime
The same author directed both those works and his original signature is easily and well noticeable. Another introspection (and successful one) into the dark deep consciousness and mainly subconsciousness of the human being. Also the fact that it's difficult (if not even impossible) to distinguish between reality and delusion and/or dream.

This is really a very good anime! In the middle of the anime the story gets little complicated, but still understandable! And in the end everything is explained! I recommend this anime for the people that really like conspiracy and paranoia animes. My favourite character is Ikari Keiichi - he is the Chief Police Officer!

I was watching this and I felt really intrigued but then it just got ridiculous and confusing. Supernatural thriller.. maybe, but then it turned into some totally outlandish BS. Not what I was expecting. Dropped because by episode 10, I was completely lost.
