About Paranoia Agent

Paranoia Agent (妄想代理人) arrives as a drama anime by MADHOUSE (2004), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: An elementary school kid dubbed with the title "shounen bat" or "lil slugger" has been going around attacking people with his bent, golden bat. Now, two detectives are investigating so they can stop this kid from making any more attacks, but they will find out soon enough... that this case is much more than they expected.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Tsukiko Sagi (Mamiko Noto) and Maromi (Haruko Momoi) are two of the characters you will meet early.

If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
