Summary:
Tsukiko Sagi, a shy character designer who created the immensely popular pink dog Maromi, finds herself under pressure to repeat her success. As she walks home that night, she is attacked by an elementary school boy on inline skates. Two police detectives, Keiichi Ikari and Mitsuhiro Maniwa, are assigned to the case. They suspect that Tsukiko is lying about the attack, until they receive word of a second victim.
This is my favorite anime of all time! I'm so happy that you can see the English and Japanese versions here, the Japanese for the subtle things you missed on AdultSwim, the English so you can appreciate the visuals you miss reading all the subtitles.
Anyway... The best thing about this series are the stand-alone episodes, which are a lot of them, which lead you on a side adventure that ends in a realization about the fragile nature of the human mind, seemingly Satoshi's main theme in everything, but this time, the entertainment is palpable. My favorite is Ep. 8, I would suggest seeing this one first - if you're into thiller themes with dramatic presentation - otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the most creative and thought provoking series in the anime catalogue.
If you enjoy stories that end (!!!) this is one for you.
