One of the best

One of the best anime I've ever seen. I felt like reviewing it because I felt its current rating is largely inadequate for such an innovative, striking, deep series. Being short is one of its good points, as it catches you quickly and doesn't drag out the plot in useless ways. To put it short: a frightening person appears in Tokyo. A boy with roller blades and a metal bat, who goes around beating people. Without a reason. Apparently, at least. Every episode will introduce you new characters of all sorts, with their lives and their problems, while behind all of them always lags the shadow of the mysterious assailant, Shonen Bat. And you start realizing that what's more creepy, perhaps, is not a little kid bludgeoning random people, but everyday's life, its madness, and the many ways in which people can be truly crazy while apparently sane... till the striking ending, which of course I won't spoil you, as it is one of the best ever. A very weird, original and nightmarish story which manages to make perfectly sense in the end is something rare which deserves a lot of respect; and this is what you get from Paranoia Agent. Just watch it.
