Review
Paranoia Agent is a rare series that really manages to
hit all the right buttons while doing something completely abstract and
different from the norm. It’s one of the most captivating series
I’ve seen in some time, really provoking thought and interest that
lasts even beyond its initial viewings. Not only that, but even more of
a rarity is that it seems to have captured the attention of some of the
mainstream press and is receiving rave reviews there, which can only be
a good thing not only for MVM, but the profile of anime in the UK as a
whole. When you have a series like this that comes from one of my favourite
anime directors and manages to hit all the right marks, all I can do is
give the show my wholehearted recommendation. It’s a fantastic experience.
