I searched for this and nothing came up.
Does no one watch this show? It's awesome. Nice concept, animation, and music.
I especially liked the last two eps aired. Who wouldn't enjoy the misadventures of three people attempting and failing to commit suicide or a gossiping wife who'd rather get the 411 rather than help her husband.
You have to see this when it reruns if you're not watching.

I'm watching it. Loving, loving, LOVING it. It's currently my favorite show on Adult Swim actually. It's annoying that it's on so late though. I just set my VCR to record it and watch it the next day. Which reminds me, I've forgotten to watch this weeks episode! *goes off to watch her tape.* Oh, one thing though. SPOILERS FOR ABOUT Three weeks ago. *** I was really surprised that the "creepy voice" from the Adult Swim Paranoia trailors was actually the cute/young detective. So wonderfuly creepy .*** The show is just so wonderfully creepy in general though. I like to see how the effects of paranoia and mental stress effects everyone so differently.

Wonderful stuff! I kinda wish that AS would switch the timeslots for the show with 'S-cry-ed' (I really don't like that show)
The show is becoming a lot more creepier and interesting with each episode.
*** Ever since Kozuka (the copy cat L'il Slugger/Shonen Bat) died its been one wierd twist after another, FUN STUFF!***

I personally don't care for PA. The 3 people trying/failing to commit suicide was a pretty interesting episode, but it hardly rekindled any interest in the show for me. It's just not part of my standard fare, I suppose. My mom, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying the series more than I am. But she likes that mind stuff. And as a side comment, I like s-cry-ed. Sure it's basically just some guy that ends up punching something/someone REALLY hard but I still find it worthwhile to watch. That 'Holy' guy with the ability to create those 6/8 glowing green balls from a couple episodes ago was interesting. Better than any of the other Holy characters so far in my opinion. Kazuma just brings out the best in people, I guess.

I think I've seen it...
is the opening a bunch of people who... appear to be on drugs?

Yeah, but they're just laughing. The purpose of the OP and ED is to wake or put people to sleep respectively. This is because back in Japan, they put the show in a midnight time slot also.
PA got moved back because people railed against all the prostitution and stuff. Comparatively, Samurai Champloo still comes on right after Futurama. LOL. And this was the week Jin bought a woman.
I do have to admit, the show got kinda weird after Kozuka told how he clubbed his two victims (the video game ep). I was sad when he died.

Did anyone one else notice that this weeks episode seemed like a desperate cry for help from the production crew ?

I know what you mean Lovely. ^ _ ^
I wonder if they also had to deal with some slacker-jackass getting in the way of everything ^ _ ^

i remebered seeing the characters names some place before so i just emagined the behind the sences people wanted to have fun with them selves in a postive way...
i missed the episode before that
my friend said she thought the suicide episode was funny because she thought the 3 people were already dead but didn't know it thats why the girls freaked out when they saw there pciture... personally i thought they freaked out because they had a old man,little girl and a big man making faces behind them...

I saw a show that sounds almost exactly like these descriptions but I didn't know the name of it. Maybe that was what it was. I don't know if I like it or not. I thought it was off. (that word you use to describe something when you can't think of anything else because you're puzzled)

I don't know if the guy was a slacker or not, but certainly it seemed he got more than his fair share of blame. I thought it was funny when the producer was yelling that he didn't want him to die, just not come back or something. Hilarious.

I *LOVE* this show. It's definately one of my favorite animes now. Heck, the opening song has been stuck in my head the entire day now. ._.
The animation is beautiful, the concept is great, the idea is completely original... It's really just all over fantastic. And I absolutely worship the almighty bat boy.

Paranoia Agent is a little too bizarre for me. I only saw last night's episode, and I have to say the show doesn't capture my interest.
