The plot of Paranoia Agent is incredibly original. It centers around a killer known as Lil Slugger who attacks those who feel trapped or isolated. The question is, is he real or imagined?

The entire series has an incredibly dark feel to it, and many serious topics are touched upon such as schizophrenia, poverty, bullying, suicide etc.
The characters involved all have intricate backstories, and the plotline is not easy to predict. The opening and ending credits use unusual imagery and music which adds to the creepy element and fits well. Although some parts of the plot are slightly difficult to follow, and the ending may leave some feeling rather confused, it is definitely worth watching for anyone who is a fan of dark creepy and intricate horror anime.

Some elementary-age kid is going around beating up people with a baseball bat and the police are stumped. Li'l Slugger seems able to appear anywhere to give those who feel trapped an easy way out. The more people he attacks the more helpless everyone feels. The attacker is truly a paranoia agent, both fueling and feeding off of the city's fear.

You should check out this show if you like suspense and thrillers or want a supernatural twist.
