I love that this show treats itself like a movie and doesn't rely on nearly any anime cliches or gimmicks. Totally unique and crazy, i'm glad I loved this as a kid because I still love it very much now
For anyone watching this show for the first time, keep watching. This is one of the best animated shows I have ever watched. The concepts in it were truly ahead of it’s time. Satoshi Kon perfectly predicted what social media would turn into.
@@Jujuoak it’s ok I like dark. I like the big 3 and the other well know stuff but it’s starting to get too campy for me. I just finished berserk and elfin lied
yup. for the longest time I had the OP stuck in my head. I didn't have the slightest clue what it could be called. then yesterday I just looked up " Weirdest Animes" and it popped up XD
e chantra Oh okay :D I highly suggest you should watch a series called "Monster" if you haven't already and "Shinsekai Yori". People says Attack on Titan best anime in 2013, in my opinion Shinsekai Yori is.
I just notice the "help" button next to tsukiko's fingers as she presses the delete. I dont think japanese keyboards have a help button. Probably placed there intentionally to represent her state of mind.
How ironic: Tsukiko ends up "realizing" Lil' Slugger into existence, and he ends up being just as popular as Maromi, something that her boss wanted her to do in the first place.
This show is hypnotically weird. Adult Swim had such strange and amazing shows. I used to fall asleep in school because I was up all night watching it hoping Paranoia Agent or FLCL or Cowboy Bebop would come on lol.
fuggg man this brings me back to when I used to stay up all night as watch adult swim back in the 4th grade. This would come on at 3:30 am and it always resonated in my brain. Hype to re watch this
Satoshi Kon usually draws his characters realistic. Some other animes also draw theirs realistic. It's all the style to be honest, and doesn't diminish the work really.
Watched this many years ago at a friends house with another friend there. Havent spoken to them in years but damn i miss them. I guess ppl do go separate ways in life afterall
Adult Swim introduced me to anime with shows like these.. when i was young i can remember staying up and watching it. it's just not the same anymore. sad...
Recently watched the whole series and hooooo boy! First time viewers are in for a trip (and I recommend not being afraid to look in the comments section and/ or see Super Eyepatch Wolf's analysis video if it starts to get confusing)!
I remember watching this anime when it came out in on tv. This show threw me off so much every time I tried to understand what was going on. Hopefully the second I time I watch will help me understand lol.
Totally one of the single GREATEST Anime/Animated Series ever created. Subtitled or Dubbed its worth a watch and then one more and then save the files to your Hdd for later viewings!
I remebered watching this when I was little on Adult Swim but it was only one episode and I remembered one part and I tried to find out what anime it was and I'm so glad I found it. Maromi gave it away that this was the right anime.
the same thing happened to 2 years ago when i was 15. some girl with a bat broke three of my fingers while i was traing to stop the bat. I had no other choice but to knock her uncouncious. I thought that if i didint stop her she would hurt younger kids. Later on i discovered that she had a history of mental problems and had killed many dogs and cats. of course i got arrested for hitting her tankfully i got out in about 3 days. and more importantly i have not seen her since that day. true story..
Antoinette Galindo not smart. You should keep your hands flat, like you see Olympic sprinters do; they keep them flat and swing them diagonally across their bodies because it decreases the resistance while also pushing air out of the way.
I was gonna watch it for inspiration on my story I'm making... but I guess I'm also watching it for the thrill! This seems so good so far! (The last scene with the 🌽 got me surprised tho 💀)
Shane C Seriously... if the original DVD release schedule is any indication of what we are in for expect that it will Be available on BluRay in time for your grandkids to get it for you as a gift to celebrate your move to the Senior Living Facility
So much fucking memories watching this late at night with the cousins on low volume to not get in trouble lol. Gotta love the classic Adult swim shows when they were the shit
So I just noticed two things 1 - in the report about the attack they didn't show a Kiko's face only moromi which she created 2 - immediately after the nurse tells the journalist what room number she's in, room 510 it cuts to those baseball players and one has a 55 on his back and if you look the front of the other one too his right has a 10 on it 510
*Major Spoilers Below* It's kinda interesting that Detective Itigaki is right all along since this moment, but by the end of the season the mystery/crime-solving element isn't important - it's the cognitive dissonance of people and the desire to get away from it, whether it'd be societal pressure, bullying, mental illnesses, etc.
7 minutes in watching this as a sober adult. The Officers interrogated her incorrectly, her monotone voice is not honest, she does not look them in the eye which means she is reading a mental script in her head, and I am overthinking this way too much.
@Berniebooful oh my god no! BOOBS! Anyways, thanks for uploading, I just spent the last half hour trying to find this show cause I've been wanting to see it for a while. Looks interesting.
Finally, found this anime again... hahaha, I remember still vividly, unless its my imagination, the episode where Lil Slugger gets his ass kicked after failing to knock a guy out.
So glad that Funimation distributed the 13-episode series directed by the legend Satoshi Kon on video stream and Blu-ray! Funimation is now merged with Crunchyroll!
I remember Inuyasha being my first anime as a tween & then I stumbled upon this piece of art. It definitely creeped me out as a kid & probably didn’t help my social anxiety issues. 😅😅 BUT I fell in love with it anyway.

Ben Astarb at the time at least it was the only TV show directed by the guy who created perfect blue and paprika
That's the biggest relief of all!
AS A KID!?
@@R3TROSKULL YES AS A KID!!!!! WHAT U GOIN DO ABOUT IT?!?!?! 🤘😆🤘
Why babe
For anyone watching this show for the first time, keep watching. This is one of the best animated shows I have ever watched. The concepts in it were truly ahead of it’s time. Satoshi Kon perfectly predicted what social media would turn into.
My first run through!
@@andrewklima9523 have fun! Although the subjects in the show are dark tbh
@@Jujuoak it’s ok I like dark. I like the big 3 and the other well know stuff but it’s starting to get too campy for me. I just finished berserk and elfin lied
I just learned about this show today.
@@Jujuoak WH fantasy has my fav books so I should be good as well.
I remember I used to watch this on Adult swim back in first grade. What a gem
this was on sunami?!?! really how long ago? and was it before inuyasha? I'm mad I missed it
+sunny bunny 123 I don't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure it was back in 2005 and I think it did come on before Inuyasha
Psychedelic Kvltgod dang it I was only five when inuyasha came out so accurse I would miss it....well, I watching it now~!! X3
toonami not tsunami.
yup. for the longest time I had the OP stuck in my head. I didn't have the slightest clue what it could be called. then yesterday I just looked up " Weirdest Animes" and it popped up XD
Just started watching anime and I think I picked a good show to start
How did you like it
Did you enjoy it? You must check out the classic Akira if you have not already (=
e chantra This series is compared to a classic like Akira? Holy dog balls, I have to watch all of it then :D
Keshav if you want the challenge of a dark demented and emotional ride, I would most certainly watch the whole series...
e chantra Oh okay :D I highly suggest you should watch a series called "Monster" if you haven't already and "Shinsekai Yori". People says Attack on Titan best anime in 2013, in my opinion Shinsekai Yori is.

Herathrig Good eye!
I'm pretty sure that button functions for in app help, in the computer I mean. Not sure if I ever saw one on a keyboard.
@@ZainAli-vs7sm its usually the F1 number key. I dont think I've ever seen a keyboard with the help key across from the delete key 🤔
Ikari:"So, you wanna peal her peach?"
Maniwa:"You know, women hate dirty jokes"
Ikari:"Sheesh..."
One of the most underrated shows. This show, Perfect blue and Tokyo Godfathers are some of the best anime out there.
Agreed. Also Tekkonkinkreet
5 seconds in and it already feels like the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
How ironic: Tsukiko ends up "realizing" Lil' Slugger into existence, and he ends up being just as popular as Maromi, something that her boss wanted her to do in the first place.
Hs spoilerz
I was so young when I first saw this.. wish my dad was still alive to rewatch wit me...
😿💔
so sorry for your loss 😔

Best anime nobody talks about. If I mention it and get a odd look or a shrug from “an animé fan” I’ll laugh and say “just stick with your Pokémon”
at least the eyes arent bigger than their heads
Like on the profile pic of you

@@david_post_punk savage af
@@david_post_punk 💀😂
This show will always be near and dear to my heart. It's like if David Lynch did an anime. Superb. And more relevant now than ever. Still original AF.
I love it how at that beginning that there are all lies.
I know right!
RIP Satoshi Kon, you were one of the best.
Watched this many years ago at a friends house with another friend there. Havent spoken to them in years but damn i miss them. I guess ppl do go separate ways in life afterall
Adult Swim introduced me to anime with shows like these.. when i was young i can remember staying up and watching it. it's just not the same anymore. sad...

I can't believe this is still up after all these years. Glad it's been slipping under the radar 😅.

Brian Bordagaray same here
@@adam.muzzik ditto
To everyone confused about this show, its about human nature.
thanks that explains everything....
not
No shit sherlock
I had no idea!!
I didn't realize the first time that she actually does create the next Maromi with Lil Slugger, and it is a hit of sorts
I’m feeling so nostalgic 😩 this used to come on adult swim when I was a kid
It back on adult swim on Toonami they aired the first three episodes already
Same 😊
Yay all that...Japanese...writing that I can't read..
Totally one of the single GREATEST Anime/Animated Series ever created. Subtitled or Dubbed its worth a watch and then one more and then save the files to your Hdd for later viewings!
This is a fabulous show, I grew up watching this on adult swim.
So many great memories.
Much love. ♥️👻
I love revisiting this anime every few years or so.
I remebered watching this when I was little on Adult Swim but it was only one episode and I remembered one part and I tried to find out what anime it was and I'm so glad I found it. Maromi gave it away that this was the right anime.
Like if the reason that you watched it was because it was made by Satoshi Kon
Sounds like promises that has been broken for no legit reasons
My first watch through of this series! Seen Kon at work before, but I haven't had the incentive to watch until now.
criminally underrated anime.
definitely a very underrated series.
the same thing happened to 2 years ago when i was 15. some girl with a bat broke three of my fingers while i was traing to stop the bat. I had no other choice but to knock her uncouncious.

Ernesto Ledesma damn thats heart breaking. Cats and dogs? Holy shit.
9:55 *WELCOME TO PARANOIA AGENT*
this is hands down one of my all time fav!!! thanks for the upload.
Why do girls always run with their hands like that in animes? I just ball my hands into fists when I run lol.
Antoinette Galindo not smart. You should keep your hands flat, like you see Olympic sprinters do; they keep them flat and swing them diagonally across their bodies because it decreases the resistance while also pushing air out of the way.
@@CGoody564Only sprinters. For marathons you usually conserve energy.
SHE IS DELETING ANIME ANIMAL DRAWINGS......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Man, i loved this show when i was young..I just now understand a lot of it.
I love the facial expressions and how their so over exaggerated
Make sure you see the intro to this, where everyone's laughing.
tyvm for the upload! been wanting to see this 4ever.
Finally I'm watching this after so long of wanting to see it! It seems like it's gonna be something! 😍
I was gonna watch it for inspiration on my story I'm making... but I guess I'm also watching it for the thrill! This seems so good so far!
(The last scene with the 🌽 got me surprised tho 💀)
Thank you SOOO MUCH for uploading all of these!
When is "Paranoia Agent" going to get a Blu-ray release?

@Mrs. Pineapple it is not 2020 anymore, it's just called Corona Virus. It's getting real.
Funimation just licensed it and being released on Blu-ray and on video stream as well.
@@Daidoro Yep, my Blu-ray copy is on it's way to my house! ^.^V
The balding detective: she needs to tell the truth.....
*OR EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF THE TANDEN ENGINE*
If you want a similar or maybe even better psychological experience, then watch Monster from Naoki Urasawa.
So much fucking memories watching this late at night with the cousins on low volume to not get in trouble lol. Gotta love the classic Adult swim shows when they were the shit
So I just noticed two things
1 - in the report about the attack they didn't show a Kiko's face only moromi which she created

Glad I found this show again!
i looked this up because theres a report of some kid batting people down in my neighborhood, and im a bit scared to walk to the bus stop on monday
How is everything now?
What the hell
Just to think everything happened.... over a dog lol
You split the entire series in half. That's one way to avoid copyright. Well done.

thank you for your existence
this show is too real to how people have been for the past 30 years
I used to own this series for my PSP. AHHHH great memories :D
I can't make heads or tails out of this anime but I find this interesting
you amazing for uploading this
Thanks for having it in English.
@Berniebooful oh my god no! BOOBS!
Anyways, thanks for uploading, I just spent the last half hour trying to find this show cause I've been wanting to see it for a while. Looks interesting.
I like how this show challenges my mind.
LOL
- 2017 & Still Here 💙
One of the best english dubs
8:03 She looks exactly like the Nurse-daughter of this homeless in Tokio Godfathers!!!
Thank you for the upload. :-)
No but actually, this was on Adult Swim back in 2004 or 2005. I first saw it at like 5 AM back in the day. I was pretty young as well.
Of all the places to fund Liam O'Brien's voice.
Thanks for uploading this :D
Man I remember this show when I was little it was wierd but I'm watching this because toonami is coming back :)
Finally, found this anime again... hahaha, I remember still vividly, unless its my imagination, the episode where Lil Slugger gets his ass kicked after failing to knock a guy out.
the animation is beautiful!!
Did anyone notice there were at least two characters in this episode that appeared in some of Satoshi Kon's other works?
Thank you so much for doing this anime justice.
i remember having headaches after trying to understand this anime b4 watching it all
3:08 if I was put under pressure like that I'd probably scream and jump out a window
Okay but how can you just fall whilst running on perfectly smooth ground?
Boy with the golden bat
Oh, so far, this is GOOD.
0:00 - 1:10
you get a sense of how lazy and selfish we all are
9:54 - Wow those preteens have balls, looking at that on a public computer
lol at 9:01 he is driving on the other side! i have never actually noticed that in an anime before.
9:55
That creepy old nasty stalker man is really terrefying...
Ikari is my favorite anime character who finding some clues.
I remember this aired when I was 14 going on 15
So glad that Funimation distributed the 13-episode series directed by the legend Satoshi Kon on video stream and Blu-ray!
Funimation is now merged with Crunchyroll!
when you see the stuffed animals an know you've seen it before
Okay I so totally don't hate this adaptions of my story of my work. As adam snwoflake the American gajin halfubathir.
lol that little dude looks so funny~
I remember staying up watching adult swim and staying ip
I remember Inuyasha being my first anime as a tween & then I stumbled upon this piece of art. It definitely creeped me out as a kid & probably didn’t help my social anxiety issues. 😅😅 BUT I fell in love with it anyway.
