| paranoia agent So we interrupted our continued viewing of Samurai Champloo to watch Paranoia Agent. It is best referred to as the series by Satoshi Kon, the creator of Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers (in the top 5 of my favourite animes of all time) and Millenium Actress. It's about a young character designer who is being pressured to create the next ultra popular super collectible character ala Hello Kitty. As the pressure mounts she is attacked by a kid of rollerblades with a bent metal bat. The investigation of her attack takes a turn for the weird as the attacks progress from one person to the next. Soon we don't know if it is a entirely madeup attack, consensual reality, spiritual entity or truly some nutty kid on blades. It has possibly the best opening sequence and theme of any anime I have seen wrapping up all the main characters in a bizarre surreal segment. So every night and day off for about a week we watched one to three episodes until done. I have begun to attain a pavlovian sleepiness attached to watching anime, as we often do it right after I have come home or right after she has come home. Either way I am tired and get even more tired. Now it's rare for me to watch a single episode at 7:30pm and not have my eyelids begin to close. Next, we finish some of the series we started and start watching 2nd Gig if we buy it this weekend. Yes, it is a series I will buy and yes I have already downloaded a few teaser episodes until the series hits DVD. August 24 05 |

I finished watching fansubbed 2nd GIG a few days ago. Very good stuff. I plan to go through them all again soon, maybe even tomorrow.
